Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Adsorption of the Lead (II) by the Nonliving Biomass Spirogyra neglecta (Hasall) KutzingModher A. Hussain, Aishah Salleh, Pozi MilowProblem statement: Conventional techniques for removing dissolved heavy metals are only practical and cost-effective when applied to high strength wastes with heavy metal ion concentrations greater than 100 ppm. The possibility of using a nonliving algal biomass to solve this problem was carried in this study. Lead (II) was used in this study because it had been reported to cause … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Divalent Ions (A = Ca, Ba and Sr) Substitution in La-A-Mn-O Manganite on Structural, Magnetic and Electrical Transport PropertiesK. P. Lim, S. W. Ng, S. A. Halim et al.Problem statement: Microstructure of the grain will influence the properties of a polycrystalline manganites when different dopant is introduced. In this work, an effort had been made to investigate the influence of Ca, Ba and Sr substitution in La site. Approach: Polycrystalline manganites compound of La0.67A0.33MnO3 where A = Ba, Sr and Ca had been prepared via conventional solid-state reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Contractor Perception Towers Industrialised Building System Risk in Construction Projects in MalaysiaSalihudin Hassim, Mohd Saleh Jaafar, Saiful Azri Abu Hasan SazalliThe use of IBS (Industrialised Building System) has attracted a lot of countries like Singapore, Sweden, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom. This system can replace the conventional building system which is labour oriented. However, since the first project of IBS in year 1964 till today, IBS in Malaysia is not well accepted by the construction parties because of failure … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSomatic Chromosomes of the Bornean Sambar Deer and Rusa Deer Interspecific HybridsIsmail Idris, Saidi MoinProblem statement: Hybridization has potential benefits to the Malaysian farmed deer industries in terms of increased growth rate and increased proportion of muscle and an improved alignment of feed supply and annual energy requirement. Species or subspecies of different chromosome constitution could mate to produce healthy hybrid offspring in a normal ratio of males and females. If any of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Geomechanical Properties of Tropical Organic Soils and PeatBujang B.K. Huat, Afshin Asadi, Sina KazemianProblem statement: Organic soils and peat were believed to be geotechnically problematic due to their very high compressibility, very low shear strength and difficult accessibility. Although conventional soil mechanics theory could be applied to the soils, it was found that important anomalies existed which required special considerations. Correlations between geomechanical parameters for the soils were known to be important for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWastewater Treatment Using Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed WetlandS. Sarafraz, Thamer Ahamad Mohammad, Megat J. Megat M. Noor, A. LiaghatThe last few decades witnessed sharp focus on environment pollution and its impact on life in nature. Wetlands can be used for biological treatment of wastewater. Problem statement: Scarcity of water is considered as a global problem and Iran is one the countries which is facing water shortage problem. Pollution of water bodies restrict the availability of water for various … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepatitis B Diagnosis Using Logical Inference and Self-Organizing MapGhumbre Shashikant Uttreshwar, A.A. GhatolDespite all the standardization efforts made, medical diagnosis is still regarded as an art owing to the fact that that medical diagnosis requires an expertise in handling the uncertainty which is unavailable in today's computing machinery. Though artificial intelligence is not a new concept it has been widely recognized as a new technology in computer science. Numerous areas such as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite

HashimIn this study, Convolutional coder software implementation using Viterbi decoding algorithm for bitstream that had been encoded using forward error correction was presented. It discussed the detailed description and steps involved in simulating a communication channel using convolutional encoding with Viterbi decoding. The steps involved generating random binary data, convolutionally encoding the data, passing the encoded data through a noisy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Average Contour of Thais Skulls for Design of ImplantsKhemachit Sena, Surasith PiyasinIn this study, 100 dry skulls of Thais collected at the Srinagarind Hospital in Khon Kaen, Thailand were CT scanned and served for the investigation of the geometric average contour of Thais skulls. Moreover, measurements of distances between landmark points on skulls (cranial anthropometry) were made with this set of skulls for future standardization of skull implants. Thus the main … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Hierarchical Diff-EDF Schedulability over Heterogeneous Real-Time Packet NetworksMoutaz Saleh, Zulaiha Ali OthmanPacket networks are currently enabling the integration of traffic with a wide range of characteristics that extend from video traffic with stringent QoS requirements to the best-effort traffic requiring no guarantees. QoS guarantees can be provided in conventional packet networks by the use of proper packet scheduling algorithms. As a computer revolution, many scheduling algorithms have been proposed to provide … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,530 accessesView PDFCite
