Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-series Evidence for Export-led Growth Paradigm: A Case Study of ZimbabweCyril A. OgbokorThe study addresses empirically the Export-led Growth Hypothesis (ELGH) using Zimbabwe as a case study. This research work attempts to provide some evidence in this regard by examining the influence of trade on economic growth in the economy and ascertaining if the regressors utilised are good predictors of growth. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method is resorted in order to estimate … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Environmental Decision Support System Based on a Multidimensional PrototypeGeorgakellos Dimitrios, Macris AristomenisThe present study utilizes the principles and data provided by the Environmental Priority Strategies (EPS) methodology in order to create a multidimensional prototype, which intends to assist the damage assessment process in this kind of projects. The EPS system, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, is developed to help designers and product developers in finding which one of two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Scheme for Digital Watermarking Using Functional Link Artificial Neural NetworkBanshidhar Majhi, Hasan ShalabiThe present study proposes a novel technique for copyright protection by utilizing digital watermarking of Images. The watermark is embedded and detected by using Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). The exhaustive simulation results of the proposed scheme show improved performance over the existing methods in all cases, i.e. when the watermarked image is subjected … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction, Yield and Derivatives of Volatile Oils from Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus Virginiana L.)Elif Semen, Salim HizirogluEastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) is one of the most widely distributed indigenous conifers in southern states including Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Eastern redcedar is also an important source of the volatile oils. This specie adversely influences the environment resulting in degrading grassland, displacement of native plant population and increasing wildlife hazard. Range-grown eastern redcedar has a poor quality. However, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of the Mass Transfer Process in Oil SpillFabián Betancourt, Arturo Palacio, Alejandro RodriguezA revision of the models used to study the behavior of the mass loss processes associated with petroleum spills on water and to compare those models with experimental data. The processes of mass transfer studied in this work are evaporating, dissolution, vertical dispersion, emulsification and the changes of properties associated with these. The comparison of the estimations with the field … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphing Mechanisms Part 2: Using Repetitive Control to Morph Cam Follower MotionNonglak Phetkong, Meng-Sang Chew, Richard W. LongmanThis research utilizes the repetitive control approach in morphing a high-speed cam mechanism so that its output displacement tracks the desired output trajectory. The main objective is to reduce the output tracking error, which is the difference between the actual and desired output displacements of the output mass. A 3-degree of freedom mathematical model is used to analyze and represent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMacroeconomic Impact of Trade on Namibian Growth: An Empirical IllustrationCyril A. OgbokorThe study analyses the role of trade on the economy of Namibia by considering a different specification of the traditional export-growth model. Foreign direct investment is included to capture the potential effect of this variable on growth. Utilising a combination of bivariate and multivariate models, the researcher estimated the relationship between the selected macroeconomic variables used for the study. Macroeconomic … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,864 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Reconfiguration of IP Domain Middleware Stacks to Support Multicast Multimedia Distribution in a Heterogeneous EnvironmentKevin Curran, Gerard ParrSeamless connectivity to multiple wireless networks independently of a fixed point is becoming increasingly important for mobile devices however wireless networks differ in bandwidth, size and access costs each requiring protocol functions to enable devices to communicate efficiently. In addition, due to the divergence of users and applications, traditional stacks are frequently enriched with additional functionality such as transport protocol … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary supplementation with Cyperus esculentus L (tiger nut) tubers attenuated atherosclerotic lesion in apolipoprotein E knockout mouse associated with inhibition of inflammatory cell responsesMohamed L. Salem, Mohsen Zommara, K. ImaizumiAtherosclerosis is a pathological process, where recruitment of mononuclear cells results in the growth of fibro-fatty plaques. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a legend for the uptake of lipoproteins, and deficiency of ApoE leads to the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein. Utilizing ApoE-/- mouse, which spontaneously develop atherosclerosis on low-fat chow diets, the present study showed that feeding these mice on a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotovoltaic Technology of Electricity Generation for Desert CampingShafiqur Rehman, Ali A. Shash, Omar S. Baghabra Al-AmoudiThis study presents a case study on the utilization of global solar radiation data on horizontal surface to perform economical feasibility of using Photovoltaic (PV) panels with battery backup to meet a small load for a camping site in Saudi Arabia. The analysis considers three scenarios with daily average energy demands of: (i) full load, (ii) 75% load and (iii) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
