Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSHALE GAS EXTRACTION AND WATER CONSUMPTION IN NORTH CAROLINA: A PRIMERManoj K. Jha, Daniel G. FernandezAbout 25,000 acres of area underlying the Deep and Dan River Basins in North Carolina has been identified to contain large shale gas reservoirs that could be used for the natural gas production. This study attempted to quantify the impact of potential hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) activities in the existing water resources of North Carolina. Supply and demand analysis was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2014 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship Between Total Quality Management Practices and Contractors CompetitivenessFaihan Alotaibi, Rushami Zien Yusoff, Rabiul IslamTotal quality management is basically about continuous organizational success through the employment of customer satisfaction and by basing it on the contribution of all the employees constantly working to enhance processes, services and products. The competitiveness concept has been defined in multitude of ways; in the individual firm’s context, industries context and nation’s context. The aim of the study is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 17 Mar 2013 · 6,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Alternative Graph Cut Algorithm for Morphological Edge DetectionP. RadhakrishnanProblem statement: Image analysis has some basic importance of edge detection. Characterize the object boundaries are helpful for object segmentation, registration and identification in a scene. There are many methods for edge detection, but it can be identified by two major methods, search-based and zero-crossing based. Approach: Proposed method tries to follow searching the edge points by applying graph cuts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 29 May 2012 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardware Approach of a Multipurpose Finite Impulse Response Filter for Real-Time Filtering ApplicationsMd. Syedul Amin, Md. Mamun, Labonnah F. RahmanProblem statement: Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters are widely used in various DSP applications. The design of digital FIR filters is a very basic problem in digital signal processing. A FIR filter with multiple operation capability is certainly very useful for any real-time filtering applications. This article presents a multipurpose FIR filter design modeled by the hardware description language VHDL … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,150 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProof-Carrying Code Based Tool for Secure Information Flow of Assembly ProgramsAbdulrahman Muthana, Abdul Azim Abd Ghani, Ramlan Mahmod, Hasan SelamatProblem statement: How a host (the code consumer) can determine with certainty that a downloaded program received from untrusted source (the code producer) will maintain the confidentiality of the data it manipulates and it is safe to install and execute. Approach: The approach adopted for verifying that a downloaded program will not leak confidential data to unauthorized parties was based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Data Processing on Data QualityA. R. SamihProblem statement: Great attention had been paid on spatial data quality by the scientific community. This was due to the negative impact that a poor spatial data quality had on the competitiveness of an organization. On other hand, we can never obtain good quality data from a poor quality data. In this study, we demonstrate the effects of the different … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaccumulation of Cr(III) ions by Blue Green-alga Spirulina sp. Part II. Mathematical ModelingKatarzyna Chojnacka, Piotr M. WojciechowskiIn the present paper bioaccumulation of Cr(III) ions by blue-green algae Spirulina sp. is discussed. We found that the process consisted of two stages: passive in which Cr(III) ions are bound to the surface of cells, identical with biosorption and active, metabolism-dependent, in which Cr(III) ions are transported into the cellular interior. The passive stage occurs in both living and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,294 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Based Energy Management of a Domestic Photovoltaic PanelMaher Chaabene, Mohsen Ben Ammar, Ahmed ElhajjajiThis study introduces a new switching mean giving a real time optimum connection mode of domestic apparatus on either the electrical grid or a photovoltaic panel (PVP) output. A fuzzy algorithm makes the decision which ensures the optimal energy management basing on the PVP generation and apparatus states with respect to energy save criteria. Validation was driven on a 1kW … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Neutral Network in Predicting Corporate FailureHuong G. NguyenThis study investigates the predictive power of three neutral network models: Multi-layer neural network, probabilistic neural network, and logistic regression model in predicting corporate failure. Basing on the database provided by The Corporate Scorecard Group (CSG), we combine financial ratios which deem to be significant predictors of corporate bankruptcy in many previous empirical studies to build our predictive models and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
