Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Soil Morphological, Mineralogical and Sesquioxide Properties of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsB. T. Saga, O. H. Ahmed, A. S. Jamaluddin et al.Problem statement: The tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers. However empirical data on soil characteristics under degraded forest land in tropical rain forest and rehabilitated program are limited. A study was conducted to evaluate the soil morphology, mineralogical and sesquioxide properties of a rehabilitated degraded forest land (19 years after it was planted with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFish Recognition Based on Robust Features Extraction from Size and Shape Measurements Using Neural NetworkMutasem Khalil Alsmadi, Khairuddin Bin Omar, Shahrul Azman Noah, Ibrahim AlmarashdehProblem statement: Image recognition is a challenging problem researchers had been research into this area for so long especially in the recent years, due to distortion, noise, segmentation errors, overlap and occlusion of objects in digital images. In our study, there are many fields concern with pattern recognition, for example, fingerprint verification, face recognition, iris discrimination, chromosome shape discrimination, optical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 5 Aug 2010 · 9,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Schiff Bases with Pyridine Core: Spectral, Thermal and Optical CharacterizationsSie-Tiong Ha, Lay-Khoon Ong, Yip-Foo Win et al.Problem statement: Numerous studies have been conducted on the Schiff base's alkyl and alkyloxy possessing aromatic core. However, the thermo tropic properties of Schiff base's ester (or alkanoyloxy) with pyridine core was rare studied. Approach: To study spectral, thermal and optical behaviors of Schiff base ester possessing heterocyclic (pyridine) terminal core. A series of 4-[(pyridin-3-ylmethylene) amino] phenylalkanoates were prepared and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCohesiveness and Flowability Properties of Silica Gel PowderE.C. Abdullah, A.M. Salam, A.R. AzizProblem statement: The measurement of powder flowability is a major concern for most industrial processes that deal with the handling of bulk solids as raw materials, intermediates, or products. Approach: The influence of particle size on the flowability of silica gel was investigated using aerated and non-aerated methods. The aerated method involved the measurement of the Hausner Ratio (HR) and … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 15,527 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Roots Response to Mechanization in Bernam Series SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Field practices involving the use of mechanization in oil palm plantations could result in soil compaction which alters the soil physical properties. The gradual deterioration of soil physical conditions could restrict the growth and function of roots. This study was carried out to evaluate the response of oil palm roots to changes in soil physical properties due to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of A Semi-Industrial Multi Fruit Dryer System Using Simultaneous Intelligent ControlMarjan Javanmard, Johari Endan, K. A. Abbas, Farshad ArvinProblem statement: This study presented a semi-industrial fruit dryer machine which is useful to dry different types of fruit. The drying process and its functions are selectable by user to obtain a multi dryer system. Approach: A microcontroller base controller that enables to simultaneous monitoring was utilized. There are two types of sensors as the inputs of system which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemical, Petrographic and Magnetic Characteristics of Spinel Lherzolite Mantle Xenoliths from Jabal Remah Volcano, JordanAhmad Al-Malabeh, Tayel El-Hasan, Mahdi LataifehPeridotite ultramafic mantle xenoliths are occurring abundantly in the Harrat Al-Shaam basaltic province. Jabal Remah volcano is located in the Jordanian parts of the plateau and contains considerable amounts of mantle xenoliths within its pyroclastic successions. Mineralogical investigations show that the xenoliths are mostly of the spinel lherzolite type, which are characterized by a protogranular texture. Modally, the xenoliths are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Adsorption of the Lead (II) by the Nonliving Biomass Spirogyra neglecta (Hasall) KutzingModher A. Hussain, Aishah Salleh, Pozi MilowProblem statement: Conventional techniques for removing dissolved heavy metals are only practical and cost-effective when applied to high strength wastes with heavy metal ion concentrations greater than 100 ppm. The possibility of using a nonliving algal biomass to solve this problem was carried in this study. Lead (II) was used in this study because it had been reported to cause … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Numerical Estimation of Thermal Contact Resistance in Contacting SurfacesM.H. Shojaefard, K. GoudarziFor some manufacturing processes, the heat transfer between the components, the tools and the environment has an effect on tool-life and the accuracy of the formed component. Consequently, the measurement of Thermal Contact Resistance (TCR) is of increasing interest to researchers and industrial engineers participating in the manufacture of high-precision components. A new transient method and measurement apparatus are used … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploiting Surrounding Text for Retrieving Web ImagesS. A. Noah, A. Azilawati, T. M.T. Sembok, T. W.T.S. MeriamWeb documents contain useful textual information that can be exploited for describing images.
