Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmphoteric Starch in Simultaneous Process Preparation with Box-Behnken Design for Optimal ConditionsSopa Cansee, Juntanee Uriyapongson, Commueng Watyotha et al.Cassava starch was chemically modified to produce an amphoteric starch. The amphoteric starch was prepared in a simultaneous process which was evaluated in relation to four factors: temperature (45-55 °C), 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC, 4-12%) and sodium tripolyphosphate (STP, 2-8%) concentrations, and reaction time (2-6 h). The extent of amphoteric starch produced was determined by the degree of substitution (DS) of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Survey of Protein Fold Recognition AlgorithmsMohammed Said Abual-Rub, Rosni AbdullahProblem statement: Predicting the tertiary structure of proteins from their linear sequence is really a big challenge in biology. This challenge is related to the fact that the traditional computational methods are not powerful enough to search for the correct structure in the huge conformational space. This inadequate capability of the computational methods, however, is a major obstacle in facing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReconsidering the Understanding of Technoscientific KnowledgeCharalambos Tsekeris, Ioannis KaterelosNowadays, science and technology have immediate and powerful social impacts. Therefore, their systematic study is not possible without attention to questions of citizenship and democracy. Building upon this critical discussion, the present paper seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the changes in the lay and expert understanding of technoscientific knowledge. The presentation and analysis of these changes is mainly … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simple Robust Control Chart Based on MADMoustafa Omar Ahmed Abu-ShawieshControl charts are one of the most powerful tools used to detect aberrant behavior in industrial processes. The Shewhart S-control chart is one of the most widely used statistical process control techniques developed to control the process variability based on the fundamental assumption that the underlying distribution of the quality characteristic is normal. When the underlying normality assumption is not … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 14,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Approach to Compute Integral TransformsA. Adawi, F. AwawdehIntegral transforms find special applicability within scientific and mathematical disciplines. A powerful and efficient homotopy methodology in evaluating integrals arises in integral transforms was presented. The method depends on solving a related first order linear differential equation by homotopy analysis method HAM. The Laplace transform, Fourier transform and the moment generating function of the standard normal distribution were used as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Compressive Size Effect of Plane Concrete Using Combination of Micro-Plane Damage Based Model and 3D Finite Elements ApproachM. Labibzadeh, S. A. Sadrnejad, M. NaisipourIn recent years, the material behavior dependence of laboratory concrete specimens built with the same concrete mixture under the same load conditions to their geometrical sizes is well established. This phenomenon which is observed not only in concrete but also in most quasi-brittle materials such as rock, ceramic or composite materials is now called as size effect. Many of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCustomized Privacy Preservation Using Unknowns to Stymie Unearthing Of Association RulesJ. Indumathi, G.V. UmaThe explosions of new data mining techniques has augmented privacy risks because now it is probable to powerfully coalesce and cross-examine massive data stores, accessible on the web, in the rummage around of earlier unidentified hidden patterns. Consecutively to make a overtly accessible system safe and sound, we must guarantee not only that private sensitive data have been trimmed out, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,117 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solutions of the Multispecies Predator-Prey Model by Variational Iteration MethodKhaled BatihaThe main objective of the current work was to solve the multispecies predator-prey model. The techniques used here were called the variational iteration method (VIM) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The advantage of this work is twofold. Firstly, the VIM reduces the computational work. Secondly, in comparison with existing techniques, the VIM is an improvement with regard to its … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApproximate Analytical Solutions For Time-Dependent Emden-Fowler-Type Equations By Variational Iteration MethodKhaled BatihaThe main objective of the current study was to solve the time-dependent Emden-Fowler-type equation with singular behavior. The technique used here was called the variational iteration method (VIM). The advantage of this work is twofold. Firstly, the VIM reduces the computational work. Secondly, in comparison with existing techniques, the VIM is an improvement with regard to its accuracy and rapid … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,591 accessesView PDFCite
