Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccess to Higher Education among High School Students: Challenges and SolutionsCarol M. Trivette, Jennifer Wilson-Kearse, Carl J. Dunst, Deborah W. HambyProblem statement: Although there have been increases in student enrollment in tertiary (university) educational settings in many countries, there continues to be students who experience challenges bridging secondary (high school) and university education. Approach: This study includes a description of strategies used in a Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduates Program (GEAR UP) that assisted students whose parents did … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 10 Mar 2012 · 9,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Potential Sites for Runoff Water Harvesting using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems-Based Modeling in SinaiHossam H. Elewa, Atef A. Qaddah, Ayman A. El-FeelProblem statement: Sinai is increasingly suffering from an overwhelming water crisis. Runoff Water Harvesting (RWH) could be a solution for this problem. The determined promising drainage basins for RWH could be used by the decision makers to propose appropriate controlling systems to overcome the problem of water scarcity and for implementing runoff farming and rain-fed agriculture. Approach: Remote sensing, geographic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2012 · 8,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAttitudes of High School Students toward Physical Education and Their Sport Activity PreferencesHoward Z. Zeng, Michael Hipscher, Raymond W. LeungProblem statement: Identifying and understanding correlates of school children’s physical education activity participation are critical to promoting current and lifelong physical activity participation of children. Among other factors, children’s attitudes are considered to be a key element influencing physical activity participation. Children who have more positive attitudes toward physical activity are reported to be more likely to participate in physical … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 15 Aug 2011 · 19,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTensiomyographic Characteristics of Rectus Femoris after a Single Bout of Intense ExerciseLuis Carrasco Paez, Borja Sañudo Corrales, Moises de Hoyo Lora, Gabriela OchianaProblem statement: It is not well known how local fatigue can impair the contractile properties of skeletal muscle, so the aim of this study was to determine the Tensiomyographic (TMG) characteristics of Rectus Femoris (RF) after a single bout of intense exercise. Approach: Twelve healthy male volunteers (mean±SEM; age, 24.16±0.62 years, height 172.02±1.21 cm, body mass 71.84±2.19 kg, BMI 24.42±0.70 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 8,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndividualization Training of Players on Positions at the Level of Handball Junior TeamsPitigoi GabrielProblem statement: Starting from the observation that for the handball players, who finished the junior state in hard to integrate in senior teams due to a low level of preparation. I hypothesized that at this level we can use all organizational forms of individual training (frontal relation, group level, individual).Using individual records, performance behavior characteristics of the players to positions, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2011 · 7,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Parametric Deduction for Material Removal Rate OptimizationTian-Syung LanProblem statement: A general optimization scheme without equipment operations for CNC (computer numerical control) finish turning is deemed to be necessarily developed. Approach: In this study, four parameters (cutting depth, feed rate, speed, tool nose runoff) with three levels (low, medium, high) were considered to optimize the Material Removal Rate (MRR) based on L9(34) orthogonal array. Twenty-seven fuzzy control rules … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParametric Deduction Optimization for Surface RoughnessTian-Syung LanProblem statement: Surface roughness is a major consideration in modern Computer Numerical Control (CNC) turning industry. Most existing optimization researches for CNC finish turning were either accomplished within certain manufacturing circumstances, or achieved through numerous equipment operations. Therefore, a general deduction optimization scheme is deemed to be necessary for the industry. Approach: In this study, four parameters (cutting depth, feed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
