Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstructing Longest Lifetime Route in Mobile Ad-hoc NetworksFredrick Mtenzi, Yingyu WanA mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system consisting of mobile hosts connected by wireless links. Every host can move in any direction at any speed and time. This leads to a dynamic topology as hosts move constantly. MANET broadcast messages to each hosts, the transmission of one host can be heard by all hosts in its communication … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 4,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRevisiting Overflow in Integer MultiplicationEyas El-Qawasmeh, Ahmed DalalahInteger multiplication is a very common operation that is executed in many applications. However, some of these applications suffer from the overflow problem caused by the multiply operation of two operands. The overflow occurs whenever the multiplication of any two-integer numbers exceeds the maximum limit available for the result. Many programming languages ignored this problem; therefore, the programmer has to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Different Doses of Irradiation on Oxidant and Antioxidant Systems in the Brain of Guinea PigsYildiz Guney, Ayse Bilgihan, Ayse Hicsonmez et al.The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of oxidative stress in the damaged brain tissue, irradiated with two different dose levels, a single dose of 8 and 15 Gy. In addition, the histological findings caused by ionizing radiation in the early period was investigated. The levels of MDA, GSH, SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and selenium were estimated in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improvement Method for Swell Problem in Sulfate Soils that Stabilized by LimeM. JahanshahiIn this research low plasticity clay (CL) has to be mixed by varying percents of gypsum and after that this mixture would be treated with different amounts of lime, in two methods: regular application and Double application. The swell examinations would be done on these samples; and the influence of sulfates and mixing method on different quantities of swell will … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractERCP Related SepsisIffet Palabıyıkoglu, Emin Tekelı, Derya Aysev et al.Endoscopic procedures performed worldwide have increased considerably in recent years. In addition to diagnosis, many cases previously necessitating surgery now often can be carried out by endoscopic techniques. However, endoscopy has introduced its own infection risk. Most reports of gastrointestinal endoscopy-associated infection describe sepsis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with biliary tract obstruction. During this study, which was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRevisiting Share Market Efficiency: Evidence from the New Zealand Australia, US and Japan Stock IndicesChristopher Gan, Minsoo Lee, Au Yong Hue Hwa, Jun ZhangThis study aims to re-examine the market efficiencies in New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZSE) and Australia Stock Exchange (ASX) stock indices to investigate whether Groenewold’s[1] findings still hold in the period after the financial liberalization (January 1990-January 2003). In addition, the study also examines whether the larger US NYSE and Japanese NIKKEI stock indices have any influence on the NZSE … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,966 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 abstractChemical and Biological Warfare: Should Rapid Detection Techniques Be Researched To Dissuade Usage? A ReviewMark R. Hurst, Ebtisam WilkinsChemistry, microbiology and genetic engineering have opened new doorways for the human race to propel itself to a better future. However, there is a darker side to Bioengineering. One element of this is the manufacture and proliferation of biological and chemical weapons. It is clearly in the interest of humankind to prevent the future use of such weapons of mass … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBy-pass Devices as Effective Means of Protection from the Hydraulic HammerKhalid S. Al-RababaSwitching-off the parallel working pump units causes sudden discharge changes in parallel pipe lines, as a result of that hydraulic shocks takes place. The damping of these shocks can be achieved by the installation of the by-pass devices between the parallel lines of the piping system. The analytical calculations demonstrate that the reduction in hydraulic shocks reaches 40% and considerable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,912 accessesView PDFCite
