Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosurfactan Production by Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Soils of Sirri IslandM. Ghayyomi Jazeh, F. Forghani, Deog-Hwan OhProblem statement: Biosurfactants are active surface components produced by some bacteria and fungi. These molecules reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. The most important application of biosurfactants is in oil industry to enhance oil quality and facilitate oil extraction. The aim of this study was to isolate biosurfactant producing bacteria and optimize the conditions like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering Privacy RevisitedSabah Al-FedaghiProblem statement: Information Privacy Engineering (IPE) is the field that studies the protection of privacy in information and communication systems. The theoretical, technological and applications aspects of IPE require a framework that provides a general view and a systematic structure for the discipline’s topics. This study discusses certain characteristics of such a framework and proposes enhancing and strengthening its structure. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 1 Nov 2011 · 7,059 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Application of Paraconsistent Artificial Neural Networks in Diagnosis of Alzheimer's DiseaseHelder F.S. Lopes, Jair M. Abe, Paulo A.M. Kanda et al.Problem statement: The visual analysis of Electroencephalogram (EEG) activity has shown useful as a complementary tool in Alzheimer Disease (AD diagnosis) when the diagnosis remains uncertain, in addition to be used in some clinical protocols. However, this analysis is subject to the inherent equipment imprecision, biological artifact, electrical records, and subjective physician interpretation of the visual analysis variation. The Artificial … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Oct 2011 · 12,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Cost Performance of Decoding Technique for Hybrid Subcarrier Spectral Amplitude Coding-Optical Code Division Multiple Access SystemR.K.Z. Sahbudin, M.K. Abdullah, M. Mokhtar et al.Problem statement: A hybrid technique combining subcarrier multiplexed and Spectral Amplitude Coding-Optical Code Division Multiple Access (SAC-OCDMA) deploying the Khazani-Syed code was proposed. It was proposed as a mean of increasing the maximum number of simultaneous active users by increasing the subcarrier and/or the SAC-OCDMA code word. Multiple Access Interference (MAI) is the most dominant cause of performance degradation in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,881 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPalm Oil Milling Wastes and Sustainable DevelopmentA.C. Er, Abd. Rahim Md. Nor, Katiman RostamProblem statement: Palm oil milling generates solid wastes, effluent and gaseous emissions. The aim of this study is to assess the progress made in waste management by the Malaysian palm oil milling sector towards the path of sustainable development. Sustainable development is defined as the utilization of renewable resources in harmony with ecological systems.
