Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArabic Short Text CompressionIman Omer, Khalaf KhatatnehProblem statement: Text compression permits representing a document by using less space. This is useful not only to save disk space, but more importantly, to save disk transfer and network transmission time. With the continues increase in the number of Arabic short text messages sent by mobile phones, the use of a suitable compression scheme would allow users to use … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment on the Effect of Formulative Materials on the Viability and Efficacy of Serratia marcescens-a Biocontrol Agent Against Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. cubense race 4A. S. Y. Ting, M. T. Fang, C. S. TeeProblem statement: Application of biocontrol agents to the field in pre-existing free-cell forms often results in poor cell viability which subsequently affects their efficacy in suppressing pathogen development. There is therefore a need to bioformulate these biocontrol agents not just to enhance their field potential, but for easy storage, delivery and application as well. Approach: In this study, the bioformulations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Vegetation Dynamics using Long-Term Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Time-SeriesTamara Bellone, Piero Boccardo, Francesca PerezProblem statement: The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is the most extensively used satellite-derived index of vegetation health and density. Since climate is one of the most important factors affecting vegetation condition, satellite-derived vegetation indexes have been often used to evaluate climatic and environmental changes at regional and global scale. The proposed study attempted to investigate the temporal vegetation dynamics … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeosporosis in Sheep and Different Breeds of Goats from Southern Jordan: Prevalence and Risk Factors AnalysisAl-Majali A. N., Jawasreh K. I., Talafha H. A., Talafha A. Q.A cross sectional study was performed to investigate the epidemiology of Neospora caninum infection in Southern Jordan. A total of 320 sheep and 300 goats from 38 and 24, sheep and goat flocks, respectively, were randomly sampled and assayed for presence of antibodies against N. caninum. A structured pre-tested questionnaire was administered to collect information on flocks' health and management. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,871 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterminants of Success within an Integrated Business Curriculum Context: An Econometric AssessmentIsmail H. Genc, Selahattin BekmezThis paper studies an ongoing curriculum innovation at the College of Business and Economics at the University of Idaho, with junior level economics and business classes under one common team taught course, the Integrated Business Curriculum (IBC), instead of independent classes. In our study, there were six modules (classes) within IBC. The students were required to form teams, along with … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Typical Case Study: Solid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanThe current environmental concerns have forced developed and developing countries to reduce air, water and land pollution for sustainable growth. Solid refinery waste is cocktail of hydrocarbons, water, heavy metal and fine solids and is substantial in quantity. The principal processes of waste management focus mainly on waste source reduction, reusing, recycling, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 9,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardware Implementation of Higher Throughput Anti-Collision Algorithm for Radio Frequency Identification SystemJahariah Sampe, Masuri OthmanThis paper presents a proposed hardware implementation of Higher Throughput Anti-Collision Algorithm (HTACA) for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system. Our proposed HTACA combines a pipeline and a deterministic anti-collision technique in order to enhance its performances. These downlink and uplink operations are concurrently executed during the identification process. The downlink operation is purposely pre-selected a group of tags base on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards a Theory and View of Teaching Compressed and Abbreviated Research Methodology and Statistics CoursesJames Carifio, Lisa EriksonOne of the highly questionable effects of educational reform and other curriculum reshaping factors at both the high school, post-secondary and graduate levels has been the shift to teaching compressed, pared-down or abbreviated courses in still needed or required subject-matter that became de-emphasized in the current educational reformation. Research methodology, particularly the highly quantitative and experimental kind and statistics, are … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCholesterol Metabolism in Brain and Skin Fibroblasts from Sarda Breed Sheep With Scrapie-resistant and Scrapie-susceptible GenotypesAlessandra Pani, Claudia Abete, Claudia Norfo et al.Scrapie is a fatal spongiform encephalopathy of sheep, a transmissible form of prion disease caused by neuronal accumulation of the aberrantly conformed prion protein (PrPsc). Currently, no ante-mortem diagnostic tests are available to detect this untreatable disease in the pre-clinical stage, thus making difficult to control its spread. Recent evidence suggests that the production of PrPsc can be modulated by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmobilization of Lipase from Candida Rugosa on Palm-Based Polyurethane Foam as a Support MaterialRoila Awang, Mohd Rafaei Ghazuli, Mahiran BasriLipase from Candida rugosa was immobilized onto palm-based polyurethane foam (PU), which the polymer was pre-soaked in co-immobilized agent. The activities of PU-immobilized lipase were tested by the esterification reaction of oleic acid and oleyl alcohol in hexane. The PU-immobilized lipase was then characterized in term of its thermal, operational and storage stability. The optimum temperature for native and PU-immobilized … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
