Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Economic Policies in Korea and Malaysia after the Financial CrisisSeok YoonThe Asian Economic Crisis of 1997 escalated from Southeast Asia and landed in Northeast Asia. However, in the process of recovery from the crisis, two countries took the opposite approaches. The Korean Government adopted the plans from the IMF and received a rescue fund, but the Malaysian Government adopted the independent recovery plans. With strong fundamentals, a generally liberal and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,820 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrade-GDP Nexus in Iran: An Application of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) ModelMosayeb Pahlavani, Ed Wilson, Andrew C. WorthingtonThis study employed annual time series data (1960-2003) and unit root tests with multiple breaks to determine the most likely times of structural breaks in major factors impacting on the trade-GDP nexus in Iran We found, inter alia, that the endogenously determined structural breaks coincided with important events in the Iranian economy, including the 1979 Islamic revolution and the outbreak … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 8,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of A.C. Impedance Spectroscopic and Cyclic Voltammetric Behavior of Some Heterocarbonyl Compounds in Both Aprotic and Aqueous MediaFarouk A. RashwanThe electrochemical behavior of eosin, isatin and alloxan in aqueous KNO3 and NaClO4 solutions on the Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode [HMDE] and in aprotic DMF and CH3CN on the Pt-disk electrode at 298 K was investigated using the Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and the Electrochemical Impedance Techniques (EIS). In the CV experiment, the electroreduction of eosin in both aqueous and non-aqueous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrong Convergence Theorems for Fixed Points of Asymptotically Nonexpansive Mappings in Uniformly Smooth Banach SpacesOlusegun Olawale OwojoriIn this work, we establish strong convergence of the improved modified three-step iteration methods for asymptotically nonexpansive operators in uniformly smooth and convex Banach spaces. Our results generalize the previous results of Schu [10], Osilike and Aniagbosor [5], Xu and Noor [13], as well as Owojori and Imoru [7] among others. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 5,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDelftia Acidovorans Bacteremia in an Intravenous Drug AbuserRocco J. Perla, Eric L. KnutsonDelftia acidovorans (Comamonas acidovorans) is an aerobic, non-fastidious, non-fermentative gram-negative bacillus classified in the Pseudomonas rRNA homology group III that is generally regarded as an environmental organism found in soil and water and as a non-pathogen. We report the first case of systemic D. acidovorans infection in a patient without a long-term immunosuppressive condition where D. acidovorans has been recovered … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,307 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

The sample con-sisted of 3150 students, with 44.1% were male and 55.9% female students. Their mean age was 15.75 yrs (SD=1.61) ranging from 13 to 24 years chosen from 150 schools in South Africa. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemi Strongly E-Convex FunctionsE. A. Youness, T. EmamIn this study a new class of functions, called semi strongly E-convex functions, and generalized semi strongly E-convex functions are defined .We discuss some their basic properties and obtain sufficient optimality criteria for nonlinear programming problems involving these functions. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe immunological aspects of Acanthamoeba infectionsNaveed A. KhanAcanthamoeba is a protozoan pathogen that is responsible for two recognized diseases; i) a blinding keratitis, most commonly associated with contact lens wear, and ii) a rare but fatal granulomatous encephalitis that usually is limited to immunocompromised patients. The fact that Acanthamoeba infections are generally limited to avascular cornea or immunocompromised patients suggests that the normal immune responses may be … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,325 accessesView PDFCite
