Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Supplementary Bioavailable Carbon on the Thermal and Biological Kinetic Parameters of the Composting Process of Tomato Plant TrimmingsA.E. Ghaly, F. AlkoaikThree laboratory-scale bioreactors were used to investigate the influence of bioavailable carbon addition on the composting process of tomato remains. Sugar, cheese whey and used cooking oil were used as bioavailable carbon sources. The amounts of materials added to the compost mixture had equal energy contents. The initial moisture contents and C: N ratios of the compost mixtures were maintained … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Population In Decompsing Legume Litter Of Differing QualityM. B. Oyun, F. C. Akharayi, F. C. AdetuyiThe influence of litter quality on microbial population during decomposition of fresh pruning of Acacia auriculiformis; Gliricidia sepium and Acacia mixed with Gliricidia (50 : 50) is reported. Acacia (soluble C, 46.6%; N, 3.9%; Phenolic, 2.3%) was rated as low quality litter while Gliricidia (soluble C, 45.2%; N, 4.8%; Phenolic, 2.3%) was rated as high quality litter. Acacia mixed with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Method for Social Scientists to Adapt Instruments From One Culture to Another: The Case of the Job Descriptive IndexRamzi NasserThis study outlined an adaptation procedure for the Job Descriptive Index Subscale of "type of work". The cross-translation or committee translation procedure asks two or more translators to translate a text from source to target language, and then an expert assesses the validity of these translations. Empirically, this method has three or more translators translate the instrument from English to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,357 accessesView PDFCite

FBG are being investigated for their applicability in other markets such as smart structures. Fiber optic sensors can also be used in many different applications. Fiber optic sensors are available in several types; among them, the Bragg grating sensor is being studied in this research. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,499 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesigning and Building an Automatic Information Retrieval System for Handling the Arabic DataIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Ja'far AtwanThis paper aimed to design and build an Automatic Information Retrieval System to handle the Arabic data. Also, this paper presents some type of comparison between the retrieval results using the vector space model in two different indexing methods: the full-ward indexing and the root indexing. The proposed Automatic Information Retrieval system was implemented and built using a traditional model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing Concept Maps as an Assessment (Evaluation) Tool in Teaching MathematicsAhmet S. OzdemirIn this research concept mapping has been used as a testing instrument. In our country's education system, the relationship between the scores which are given to concept maps and the scores which are given to traditional written exams and multiple choice examinations in teaching mathematics, has been analyzed.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotocurrent and Photoluminescence Investigations of GaInNAs and GaInNAs(Sb) Quantum Wells Grown by Molecular Beam EpitaxyS. Ben Bouzid, F. Bousbih, A Hamdouni et al.We have investigated photocurrent (PC) and photoluminescence (PL) in sequentially grown GaInNAs/GaAs and GaInNAs(Sb)/GaAsSbN quantum wells. Photocurrent transitions are analyzed by theoretical calculations using envelope function formalism taking into account the strain effect and the strong coupling between nitrogen localized state and the GaInAs band gap. The results are consistent with a type I band alignment and a conduction band … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite
