Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of Some Commercial Chemical Disinfectants on Salmonella enterica Serovar TyphimuriumEssam S. Soliman, E. G. Taha, M. A.A. Sobieh, P. G. ReddyProblem statement: Poultry industry is intensive and consistently applies an all-in, all-out system with the aim of minimizing infection pressure and targeting specific pathogens like Salmonella which remains one of the leading causes of food-borne illness, many questions regarding the introduction and persistence in animal production still remain. Therefore disinfection during production break is a routine part of the biosecurity … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,396 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Power Phase Locked Loop Frequency Synthesizer for 2.4 GHz Band ZigbeeNesreen Mahmoud Hammam Ismail, Masuri OthmanProblem statement: Wireless communication systems are required for many applications. There are different standards for these systems. IEEE 802.15.4 defines the communication system standard for zigbee. This study discussed designing one of the blocks of zigbee transceiver which is the Phase Locked Loop (PLL). A major target for any communication systems is saving battery power, especially for zigbee as it … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Gene Expression Programming and Geographic Information Systems for Solving a Multi Site Land Use Allocation ProblemKhalid A. EldrandalyProblem statement: Land use planning may be defined as the process of allocating different activities or uses to specific units of area within a region. Multi sites Land Use Allocation Problems (MLUA) refer to the problem of allocating more than one land use type in an area. MLUA problem is one of the truly NP Complete (combinatorial optimization) problems. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Coordinated Scheduling Support System of Production and DeliveryMing-Feng Yang, Yi LinProblem statement: Traditional scheduling models which only address the sequence of jobs to be processed at the production stage under some criteria are no longer suitable and should be extended to cope with the distribution stage after production. In a rapidly changing environment, competition among enterprises has a tendency to turn towards competing between supply chain systems instead of competing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Inventory Using Genetic Algorithm for Efficient Supply Chain ManagementP. Radhakrishnan, W. M. Prasad, M. R. GopalanProblem statement: Today, inventory management is considered to be an important field in Supply chain management. Once the efficient and effective management of inventory is carried out throughout the supply chain, service provided to the customer ultimately gets enhanced. Hence, to ensure minimal cost for the supply chain, the determination of the level of inventory to be held at various … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,363 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of the Effect of Infilled Brick Walls on Behavior of Eccentrically Braced Frames Using Explicit Finite Elements MethodAmir Saedi Daryan, Masood Ziaei, Ali Golafshar et al.Problem statement: Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are usually infilled by masonry walls, but in common design, the stiffness and lateral resistance of these walls is ignored. Considering the results of carried out tests and studies, it seems that infilled masonry walls have a significant influence on the stiffness and the strength of EBFs. Since experimental test of total frame with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBase Course Modification through Stabilization using Cement and BitumenS. M. Marandi, P. SafapourThe main objectives of this research was to analyze the use of combined cement and bitumen emulsion in base course stabilization in details and examine its replacement with conventional pavement in regions with low quality materials and limited construction period. To conduct the objectives, the research divided into three phases. Phase I involved the optimization of cement and bitumen emulsion. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollocation Discrete Least Squares (CDLS) Method for Elasticity Problems and Grid Irregularity Effect AssessmentM. Naisipour, M. H. Afshar, B. Hassani, A. R. FiroozjaeeA meshless approach, collocation discrete least square (CDLS) method, is extended in this paper, for solving elasticity problems and grid irregularity effect is assessed. In the present CDLS method, the problem domain is discretized by distributed field nodes. The field nodes are used to construct the trial functions. The moving least-squares interpolant is employed to construct the trial functions. Some … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,093 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Green House Gases (GHG) Emissions from Oil Production Facilities at Northern Kuwait Oilfields: Simulated ResultsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gaseous emissions from flaring at various despised points. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite
