Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification, Characterization and Quantification of Elastomeric/Plastomeric Waste for Sustainable Waste MinimizationKajal Yadav, Sangita, A. ChandraThe present study focuses on the importance of characterization of waste/post consumer polymers. In recent years sophisticated instrumental techniques played an important role in identification and characterization of polymers. Advances in computer techniques have been combined with analytical instruments to give analytical speed, resolution and minimal sample requirements unimagined a few years ago. The present study deals with the development … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Text Mining Approach for Finding Protein-to-Disease AssociationsHisham Al-Mubaid, Rajit K. SinghDiscovering significant relationships between biological entities from text documents is an important task for biologists in order to develop biological models for research and discovery, especially with the existing gigantic amounts of biomedical documents and the rate at which they are increasing everyday. We propose a new text mining method to extract associations between biological entities from text documents; and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,012 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLarge Eddy Simulation of an Ammonia JetM. Salinas-Vazquez, A. Espinosa, E. Barrios, W. VicenteA compressible jet flow of ammonia was studied through a series of Large Eddy Simulations. Simulations were focused in the zone where the inertial effects are much bigger than the gravitational ones. The ammonia jet is discharged into an air medium and the gases are treated as a two non-reactive ideal gas mixture. Different simulations were performed, going from the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation and Visualization of Safing SensorKhaled M. Furati, Hattan Tawfiq, Abul Hasan SiddiqiNumerical simulations of Maxwell’s equations have attracted attention of several mathematicians and engineers in the recent past. Such solutions are required for proper understanding of industrial problems. In this paper we focus our attention on numerical simulation of safing sensor required by a car industry. Maxwell’s equation system models this industrial problem. We discuss numerical simulation by the fastful developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing Effectiveness of IDS to Improve Security in IntranetUmesh Kumar Singh, A. K. Ramani, Narendra S. Chaudhari, Vandana GuptaToday Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are becoming one of the most important tools for intranet security. Research regarding Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) has become more active with the recent increases in illegal accesses to computer systems. Many researchers focus only on the techniques or mechanisms for detecting intrusions automatically, without considering the security of IDSs themselves. When an intruder attacks … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFirms and their Responsibility towards NatureJerome Ballet, Damien BazinCorporate social responsibility is increasingly discussed in economics and management studies today. Corporate leaders often make use of this concept, which finds its origins in philosophy, to analyse the normative behaviour of their companies. But what exactly is corporate responsibility? Is it a mere concept currently in vogue, or is it a new structural approach which could indeed take responsibility … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
