Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal Emissions from Flaring in Kuwait OilfieldsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, A. R. KhanKuwait is a major oil producing country and its economy directly depends on its export of crude and refined products. Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is responsible for all exploration and production of crude oil in Kuwait. These activities result in the emission of gaseous pollutants to the atmosphere, particularly from the flaring of undesirable product and excess gases. For environmental … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 8,947 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Diameteral Fatigue Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt with Cellulose Oil Palm FiberRatnasamy Muniandy, Bujang B.K. HuatStone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a gap-graded mix that is gaining popularity worldwide. Generally, gap graded mixes are thought to be weak in fatigue resistance. In this study, cellulose fibers were pre-blended in PG64-22 binder with fiber proportions of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% by weight of aggregates. The fiber-modified binder showed improved rheological properties and showed that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,979 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVAR-models for Predicting BiodiversityTonio D. Bettista, S. A. Gattone, Mariagrzia GranturcoThe aim of this work is to introduce a methodology for monitoring diversity of a biological population by using the tool of diversity profiles. In particular, we develop a theory for studying the diversity profile along the temporal axis. We propose forecasting techniques for diversity profile by using the VAR model on multivariate time series of abundance vector and ARMA … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,175 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrency Substitution in TurkeyIsmail H. Genc, Hasan Sahin, Turan ErolWe investigated whether the recent depreciations in the Turkish currency (Lira) resulted in the currency substitution away from Lira by using quarterly data over the period from 1987:1 to 2000: 2 with M1 and M2 monetary aggregates and income, interest rate and exchange rate. Other than the variety of monetary aggregates, we tried different ways of including the interest rate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,968 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of HCV Components and Pathological Reactions in Apoptotic Hepatocytes from Chronically HCV-infected PatientsViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes at the cellular level may contribute to elucidate the mechanisms of HCV pathogenesis. In this work, the presence of HCV components and pathological reactions in apoptotic hepatocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients were studied by electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Eight samples of liver biopsies from patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,907 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtended IOWG Operator and its Use in Group Decision Making Based on Multiplicative Linguistic Preference RelationsZeshui XuIn [1], Xu and Da introduced the Induced Ordered Weighted Geometric (IOWG) operator, which takes as its argument pairs, called OWG pairs, in which one component is used to induce an ordering over the second components which are exact numerical values and then aggregated. In this study, we develop an extended IOWG (EIOWG) operator, in which the second components are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,118 accessesView PDF Cite
