Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction and Purification of Collagenase Enzymes: A Critical ReviewSaid M Daboor, Suzanne M Budge, Abdel E Ghaly et al.Problem statement: Enzymes have vital roles in several industrial processes (foods, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals) due to their highly selective nature and high activity at very low concentrations. Recent efforts to identify new sources of useful enzymes have been concentrated on the marine environment because of the potential to make use of processing wastes. About 35-50% of the mass of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 14,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Resonance Theory Training Parameters: Pretty Good SetsTaisir Mohammad Eldos, Abdulaziz Suleiman AlmazyadProblem statement: ART1 artificial neural networks offer good tools for test clustering, where no expert is needed if the system is well trained. However, having no output reference for the input patterns makes it hard to judge the quality of the training. Moreover, the performance depends to a great extent on a set of training parameters. Designers follow some recommendations … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiometric Correction of Multitemporal Satellite ImagerySeema Gore Biday, Udhav BhosleProblem statement: Repeated observation of a given area over time yields potential for many forms of change detection analysis. These repeated observations are confounded in terms of radiometric consistency due to changes in sensor calibration over time, differences in illumination, observation angles and variation in atmospheric effects. Also major problem with satellite images is that regions below clouds are not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegression Analysis of Effective Factor on People Participation in Protecting, Revitalizing, Developing and Using Renewable Natural Resources in Ilam Province from the View of UsersBagher Arayesh, Sayed Jamal HosseiniProblem statement: The purpose of this study was the regression analysis of effective factor on people participation in protecting, revitalizing, developing and using renewable natural resources in Ilam province. Approach: This study was a casual comparative and applies one. Sample was taken from natural resources users. Results: The sample size of groups was 317 for users respectively. For sample selection, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensity Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-PressurePatomsok WilaiponProblem statement: Agricultural residues seem to be the most promising energy resources for developing countries. However, the majority of them have low energy density. One of the favorable technologies for enhancing that property is briquetting. For the case of Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, cassava is one of the most important crops. Therefore, a large amount of cassava stalk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies of the Terrestrial outdoor Gamma Dose Rate Levels in Ogun-Osun River Basins Development Authority Headquarters, Abeokuta, NigeriaI.C. Okeyode, A.M. OluseyeProblem statement: The natural radioactivity levels in the soils of Ogun-Osun River Basins Development Authority Headquarters, (O-ORBDA HQ) Abeokuta, South-Western part of Nigeria were measured. Approach: (O-ORBDA HQ) is a parastatal of Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Rural Development in Nigeria charged with the responsibility for the development and management of the water resources in its area of coverage. … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2010 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response of Soybean (Glycine max) to Foliar Application of Methanol Under Different Soil MoisturesFarzad Paknejad, Mojtaba Mirakhori, Majid Jami Al-Ahmadi et al.Problem statement: Many cultivated area are situated in arid zone, where crop photosynthesis and productivity has limited by drought. Thus any treatment, such as methanol, that improve plant water relation and reduce stress impacts, could be benefit. Approach: In order to investigate effects of methanol application on some physiological properties of soybean under low water stress, a factorial experiment was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing the Effects of Water and Agriculture Policy Strategies: An Iranian experienceReza Moghaddasi, Ali Bakhshi, Mahmood Daneshvar KakhkiProblem statement: Because of growing demand for water resources, increasing cost of supplying water and overdraft of underground waters, economists suggest water pricing policy to improve water allocation efficiency in Iran. While due to political risk, economic and cultural concerns, government tends to reject that advice. This study addressed questions of what policy alternatives to water pricing could be used … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,308 accessesView PDFCite
