Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Shear Box Test Apparatus for Measuring Shear Strength of Unsaturated Residual SoilBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj Ali, S. HashimResidual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. Most of these soils exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The shear strength parameters, c’ and Φ’, of soil can be obtained using conventional shear strength tests. However the conventional shear strength test equipments would not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Oral Contraceptives and Abnormal Pap SmearSayedmohsen Sayednozadi, Mohammadreza Hassany, Mohammad Arash RamezaniTo assess the hypothesis that combined Oral Contraceptive (OCs) increase the risk of cervical neoplasia, we conducted a multicenter Case-Control study in Mashhad, the capital of Khorasan province. Seventy-eight women with moderate to severe dysplasia at Pap smear as case group and one hundred fifty nine women with normal Pap smear were selected as the control group for evaluation. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe 11th February, 2004 Earthquake of The Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S. Al-ZoubiThe Dead Sea fault system and its branching faults represent one of the most tectonically active regions in the Middle East. The present investigation emphasis on the recent earthquake swarm, which occurred at the end of 2003 and extended to the middle of July 2004 with critical examination on the strongest event of 11th Feb. 2004. The present study examines … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistopathological Feature of Acute Appendicitis in Kerman-Iran from 1997 to 2003Fatemeh NabipourAcute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical conditions that affect about seven percent of the population. The histopathologic stages of appendicitis are important to regarding prognosis. To evaluate pathologic features of appendix after operation, this study was designed. 2753 appendices specimen that had been received to department of pathology of two major hospitals in Kerman-Iran during five years … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPDX-1 and MafA: Key Transcription Factors in PancreasHideaki Kaneto, Takeshi Miyatsuka, Yoshihisa Nakatani, Taka-aki MatsuokaPancreatic and duodenal homeobox factor-1 (PDX-1) plays a crucial role in pancreas development, β-cell differentiation and in maintaining normal β-cell function by regulating several β-cell-related genes including insulin. PDX-1 has potency to induce insulin-producing cells in non β-cells in various tissues such as pancreas and liver and PDX-1-VP16 fusion protein more efficiently induces insulin-producing cells, especially in the presence of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing the Strength of Standard Involute Gear Teeth with Novel Circular Root Fillet DesignV. Spitas, Th. Costopoulos, C. SpitasIn this study the idea of spur gear teeth with circular instead of the standard trochoidal root fillet is introduced and investigated numerically using BEM. The strength of these new teeth is studied in comparison with the standard design by discretizing the tooth boundary using isoparametric Boundary Elements. In order to facilitate the analysis the teeth are treated as non-dimensional … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model of 4-Quadrant DC Electric Drive with 6-Pulse Dual ConverterKosmas ZdrozisMathematical model simulating the operation of DC electric drive hoisting mechanism has been developed. The study illustrates the capabilities of the developed model for investigation both normal and abnormal modes of operation of the converter and the supplying voltage. Large attention was given to the thyristor converter and its firing system so that fast-proceed micro-processes occurring in the converter can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphing Mechanisms Part 1: Using Iterative Learning Control to Morph Cam Follower MotionNonglak Phetkong, Meng-Sang Chew, Richard W. LongmanThis study introduces the concept of morphing mechanisms. Mechanisms are normally designed for specific operating conditions and once they are built one may wish to use them under different operating conditions. In some cases, a mechanism may be imperfectly fabricated and one would like to get the intended ideal performance. In these cases, instead of designing, fabricating and replacing the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,840 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Laser Irradiation on the Structural and Electrical Properties of Co-Zn Ferrite Thin FilmNehad M. TashtoushThin films of irradiated and non-irradiated Co-Zn ferrite was prepared by the thermal evaporation method on a glass substrate. The samples were annealed at 200°C, 400°C and 600°C for 1hr. The XRD analysis of all kinds of films, prepared for this study, shows that the spinel phase is almost completed after annealing. The change of the XRD after annealing is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFirms and their Responsibility towards NatureJerome Ballet, Damien BazinCorporate social responsibility is increasingly discussed in economics and management studies today. Corporate leaders often make use of this concept, which finds its origins in philosophy, to analyse the normative behaviour of their companies. But what exactly is corporate responsibility? Is it a mere concept currently in vogue, or is it a new structural approach which could indeed take responsibility … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
