Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization, Concentrations and Emission Rates of Volatile Organic Compounds from Two Major Landfill Sites in KuwaitMohammad AlAhmad, Marwan Dimashki, Abdallah Nassour, Michael NellesProblem statement: The emission of pollutants from landfill sites in Kuwait is of major concern due to the associated adverse environmental and health impacts. There are 18 landfill sites in Kuwait which are contributing to the emission of atmospheric pollutants including; methane, carbon dioxide and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Approach: Determine the concentration and composition of VOCs in LFG emissions … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Computer Aided Diagnosis System for Lung Cancer Detection\Using Support Vector MachineM. Gomathi, P. ThangarajProblem statement: Computer Tomography (CT) has been considered as the most sensitive imaging technique for early detection of lung cancer. Approach: On the other hand, there is a requirement for automated methodology to make use of large amount of data obtained CT images. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) can be used efficiently for early detection of Lung Cancer. Results: The usage … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Generation and Recycling: Comparison of Conventional and Industrialized Building SystemsRawshan Ara Begum, Siti Khadijah Satari, Joy Jacqueline PereiraProblem statement: In the Malaysian construction industry, there is a pressing issue of minimizing construction waste, which cause significant impacts on the environment. With the increasing demand for major infrastructure projects, commercial buildings and housing development programmers, a large amount of construction waste is being produced. Adoption of prefabrication and industrialized building systems is now a priority in the industry … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Genetic Algorithm Based on Adaptive Repair Operator for Solving the Knapsack ProblemSunanda Gupta, M. L. GargProblem statement: Knapsack problem is a typical NP complete problem. During last few decades, Knapsack problem has been studied through different approaches, according to the theoretical development of combinatorial optimization. Approach: In this study, modified evolutionary algorithm was presented for 0/1 knapsack problem. Results: A new objective_func_evaluation operator was proposed which employed adaptive repair function named as repair and elitism … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,713 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImplementation of Antimicrobial Stewardship Program During COVID-19 Era: Cost Effectiveness and Mortality RatesSafaa Alkhiami, Anass Qasem, Hussein Mohamed Hussein, Ali AbdallaThe growing spread of antimicrobial resistance is a major problem on a global level that has provoked several health and government organizations to call for action to counteract the problem. The frequent misuse of antibiotics is prevalent within hospital settings, especially during the COVID-19 era. The introduction of antibiotic stewardship initiatives has demonstrated the capability to decrease both unwarranted antibiotic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2024 · 6,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Evolution Force of Genome Reduction in Carnivorous PlantsMing-Yue Ma, Tao Tan, Xin-Xin Yin et al.The introns are widely present in the genome of eukaryotes and the distribution of intron varies greatly among different organisms or different genes. Generally, introns loss is an important way for uneven distribution of intron during genome evolution. In this study, two closely related carnivorous plants (Genlisea aurea and Utricularia gibba) were chosen, their genome were relatively integrity and high … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 10,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordReduction of Microbial Population in Cheese Whey by UV in a Single and Series Conventional ReactorsA.E. Ghaly, J. P. SinghIn this study, the effectiveness of two conventional UV reactors in series for the online sterilization of cheese whey was compared to that of a single conventional reactor. The single reactor and the two reactor series were tested at eleven flow rates (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60 and 70 mL min-1) and five flow rates, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas Engine for Nitrogen Oxides ReductionP. M. Diaz, B. Durga PrasadProblem statement: This study describes the use of Reformer Gas (RG) to alter NOx emission in a CNG-fueled HCCI engine. Comparison with diesel, natural gas has a very high octane number (≈120) and high auto-ignition temperature (≈600°C). Composed mostly of methane, natural gas is the only common fuel to manifest relatively pure, single-stage combustion. Other fuels have stronger low-temperature reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite

MassattiIn the American Medical Journal, Annahita Beheshti and colleagues review the literature on naloxone use for opioid overdose in West Virginia (Beheshti et al., 2015). The authors cite several of my publications in support of their views on naloxone (Massatti, 2013; Massatti et al., 2014), but many of these citations misinterpret my work by using it to present a counterargument … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2016 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordReduction of PAPR by Using Clipping and Filtering for Different Modulation SchemesArun Kumar, Manisha GuptaOrthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the most advanced technologies for high speed data access in mobile communication. It’s significantly increases the capacity, data-rate etc. but one of its disadvantage is high Peak Average Power Ratio (PAPR) which reduce the performance of transmitter amplifier. In this study, PAPR is reduced by using a clipping and filtering technique for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 13 Feb 2016 · 8,360 accessesView PDFCite
