Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality of Health Services Provided to Iraqis at Jordan Red Crescent Health CentersTaghrid S. SuifanProblem statement: Quality of services measurement has been the concern of many scholars who have tried to develop scales for it. The most popular scale used was SERVQUAL. Hence the aim of this study is to discover the quality of health services provided to Iraqis at Jordan Red Crescent Health Centers in Amman. Approach: A sample study was derived from … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExogenous Pyocyanin Alters Pseudomonas aeruginosa Susceptibility to CiprofloxacinGary D. Grant, Tian Tian Zhang, Lee S. Gloyne et al.This in vitro cell-based study identified the contributing role of pyocyanin in the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ciprofloxacin. Problem statement: P. aeruginosa is the major pathogen in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) lung with pyocyanin being a critical component of its virulence. Prevalence is high and, once acquired, chronic infection is difficult to eliminate. Ciprofloxacin remains a crucial oral agent … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Scale of Liquid Coal Fuel Combustion Process and Exhaust Gas FormationKartika Kus Hendratna, Osami Nishida, Hirotsugu Fujita, Wataru HaranoProblem statement: Much research of coal has been already undertaken to ascertain the possibilities of coal being used as substitute for heavy fuel oil in the transportation sector. The effects of using coal as transportation fuel to the environment must also be considered. This study will review several aspects of the coal oil combustion process including combustion behavior, flame stability, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractData Optimization with Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network and Using New Pattern in Decision Tree ComparativelyMurat Kayri, Omay CoklukProblem statement: The aim of the present study is to exemplify the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for parameter prediction. Missing value or unreal approach to some questions in scale is a problem for unbiased findings. To learn a real pattern with ANN provides robust and unbiased parameter estimation. Approach: To this end, data was collected from 906 students … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Bilirubinaemia; A Physiologic Index for Monitoring Cellular Effects of Amalar, Chloroquine, Cotecxin and FansidarE. O. Jimmy, I. F. UsohProblem statement: Antimalaria drugs are highly consumed in Africa due to increase prevalent of malaria attacks. Though the disease is often cured with some antimalarials the physiologic effects of such drugs may not be considered in pharmacologic preparations and in prescriptions. Such non consideration is likely to result in serious health problems which may outweigh the effects of malaria disease … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of adjusting PH on Stretchability and Meltability to White Brined Nabulsi CheeseAyman Suliman Mazahreh, Jihad M. Quasem, Ali Faleh Al-Shawabkeh, Ibrahim Abdullah AfanehProblem statement: Boiled white brined (Nabulsi cheese) is the mostly consumed in Jordan; this cheese should show meltability and high stretchability in order to fit in the production of high quality Kunafa and other popular local sweets and pastries.The most outstanding characteristic of Nabulsi cheese is the long keeping ability (more than one year) without cooling, since it is preserved … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 3 Apr 2009 · 7,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Computer Interaction Approach in Developing Customer Relationship ManagementMohd H.N.M. Nasir, Mustaffa Kamal, Wan A.W. RozaliProblem statement: Many published studies have found that more than 50% of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system implementations have failed due to the failure of system usability and does not fulfilled user expectation. This study presented the issues that contributed to the failures of CRM system and proposed a prototype of CRM system developed using Human Computer Interaction approaches in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-Noise High-Accuracy TOF Laser Range FinderShahram Mohammad Nejad, Saeed OlyaeeThis paper presents a new low-noise high-accuracy laser range finder based on the Time-Of-Flight (TOF) method. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm as a source and a SLIK avalanche photodiode as a detector are used. The optical section of the system including ZnS/MgF2 optical filter, designed by C++ and Zemax software, has been successfully implemented and tested. The quality … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Service Mobility Architecture for SIP EnvironmentsThierno Bah, Samuel Pierre, Roch GlithoLately, the proliferation of small portable devices has driven the introduction of a new mobility concept called service mobility. In order to support service mobility, we introduce a new architecture implementing mechanisms to access end user’s personalized services regardless of his physical location. The proposed architecture leverages on mobile agent technology to transport and move services to the end user’s … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQualitative Ferromagnetic Hysteresis ModelingM. Mordjaoui, M. Chabane, B. Boudjema, R. DairaIn determining the electromagnetic properties of magnetic materials, hysteresis modeling is of high importance. Many models are available to investigate those characteristics but they tend to be complex and difficult to implement. A new qualitative hysteresis model for ferromagnetic core presented, based on the function approximation capabilities of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The proposed ANFIS model combined the neural … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,080 accessesView PDFCite
