Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCTSS: A Tool for Efficient Information Extraction with Soft Matching Rules for Text MiningA. Christy, P. ThambiduraiThe abundance of information available digitally in modern world had made a demand for structured information. The problem of text mining which dealt with discovering useful information from unstructured text had attracted the attention of researchers. The role of Information Extraction (IE) software was to identify relevant information from texts, extracting information from a variety of sources and aggregating it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Determinants of Agricultural Production and Profitability in Akoko Land, Ondo-State, NigeriaFasoranti Olayiwola OlujenyoThe study considered the determinants of agricultural production and profitability with special reference to maize production in Akoko North East and South West Local Government Areas of Ondo-State. Data collection was through well structured questionnaire administered on 100 respondents selected through random sampling technique. The methods of analysis used were descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis and production function analysis using … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Training on Skill Development of Agricultural Extension Workers in Bangladesh: A Case Study in Four Upazilas (Sub-district) Under Kishoreganj DistrictMohammad Jiaul Hoque, Koichi UsamiThis study was conducted to identify the contributing Off-the-Job Trainings (Off-JT) and determinant On-the-Job Training (OJT) for developing Agricultural Extension Workers' (AEWs) extension skills. Data on AEWs' skill levels on selected four extension skill areas (namely, working with group, organizing and running a demonstration, assessing farmers' problems, and work planning), attendance of Off-JT, and OJT practices were collected from 90 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProstate cancer incidence in Golestan province, Iran (2004)Abdoljalal Marjani, Mohammad Javad KabirProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men and therefore represents a major problem in public health.The aim of this study was to find and evaluate province-specific estimate of incidence in males by age groups for prostate cancer in Golestan province, Iran. The data used in this study were collected in a cancer registry program that was conducted by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,804 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Compressive Size Effect of Plane Concrete Using Combination of Micro-Plane Damage Based Model and 3D Finite Elements ApproachM. Labibzadeh, S. A. Sadrnejad, M. NaisipourIn recent years, the material behavior dependence of laboratory concrete specimens built with the same concrete mixture under the same load conditions to their geometrical sizes is well established. This phenomenon which is observed not only in concrete but also in most quasi-brittle materials such as rock, ceramic or composite materials is now called as size effect. Many of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollapsibility and Volume Change Behavior of Unsaturated Residual SoilAzlan A. Aziz, Faisal H. Ali, chioong F. heng et al.Residual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. In these places, the soil forming processes are still very active and the weathering development is much faster than the erosive factor. Most residual soil exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The absence of positive pore … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element and Experimental Serviceability Analysis of HSC Beams Strengthened with FRP SheetsSeyed Hamid Hashemi, Reza Rahgozar, Ali Akbar MaghsoudiThe use of externally bonded composite sheets or laminates is by now a diffuse technique to strengthen existing RC structures. However, some aspects of flexural condition still need experimental and numerical analysis; furthermore, especially for serviceability checks, there is a lack of code provisions. Six reinforced high strength concrete (HSC) beams strengthened with FRP sheets were fabricated and tested, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Agricultural Extension Workers’ Perceptions of Off-the-Job Training and On-the-Job Training to the Development of Their SkillsMohammad Jiaul Hoque, Koichi UsamiThis study was conducted to identify the contributing perceptions of Agricultural Extension Workers (AEWs) regarding off-the-job training and on-the-job training (OJT) for developing their extension skills. Data on AEWs’ skill levels on selected four extension skill areas, their perceptions of Off-JT and OJT were collected from 90 AEWs using structured questionnaires. AEWs’ skill levels on four extension skill areas ranged … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Flight Control Design for a Turn Coordination System with Parameter UncertaintiesAri Legowo, Hiroshi OkuboThis paper presents a method of robust control system design for aircraft flight control systems with the existence of uncertainty parameters such as stability and control derivatives resulted by parameter identification process using real flight test data. A nonlinear model of aircraft turn coordination system is considered where the problem is to find the optimal controller by using the H∞ … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Pathology of Alzheimer Disease Elicits an In Vivo Immunological ResponseDavid J. Bonda, Kate M. Webber, Sandra L. Siedlak et al.The mechanism(s) responsible for the loss of neurons that characterizes Alzheimer disease is incompletely understood. Nonetheless, there is considerable evidence suggestive of immune abnormalities coupled to alterations in blood-brain barrier permeability that likely play a key role in both the etiology and progression of the disease. To examine these issues further, this study was designed to examine the presence of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,115 accessesView PDFCite
