Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Early Score Validation of the Malaysian Educator’s Information Technology Attitude Scale (MEITAS)Wong Su LuanThe purpose of this study was to develop and provide initial validation evidence for an instrument to measure educators’ attitudes toward IT. Data were collected from 817 participants comprising both pre and in-service teachers in four phases. Two separate factor analyses were conducted for the pre-service teacher data and in-service teacher data. Principle component analysis, with varimax rotation, suggested three … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Web-based Interactive Real Laboratory for Process Engineering EducationMaher Chaabene, Kamel Mkaouar, Mohamed OualiAn online supervision and control of a laboratory designed for process engineering education was conceived. The principal aim was to minimise the time access of an operator when manipulating laboratory features. Hence, the Time delay due to Internet traffic was overcome by using a Web Embedded Server (WES). A human-computer interactive interface using JAVA Script was developed so as to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) On The Corrosion Resistance of Industrial and Laboratory Zinc CoatingsY. Hamlaoui, F. Pedraza, L. TifoutiIn this work, corrosion monitoring of Zn-based coatings is investigated through potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The first part of the study is devoted to galvanised coatings conventionally manufactured in the industry. The second part focuses on the corrosion resistance of a laboratory-made electrolytic coating. For such purpose, the corrosion behaviour is studied in NaCl media under various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,602 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression of Thioredoxin-Fusion Proteins of α-Gliadin, γ-Gliadin and Low Molecular Weight Glutenin, from Wheat Endosperm and their Domains in EnterobacteriaClaudia G. Benitez-Cardoza, Yves Popineau, Jacques GueguenWheat seed storage proteins play a determining role in the viscoelastic properties of wheat gluten. The genes encoding α-gliadin, γ-gliadin and Low Molecular Weight glutenin and their N-central-repetitive and C-terminal domains from wheat endosperm had been subcloned into a thioredoxin expression system (pET102/D-Topo) and produced as fusion proteins in E. coli. The expression levels for each of the proteins varied … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,748 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Return-Stroke of Lightning Current, Source of Electromagnetic Fields (Study, Analysis and Modelling)Dib Djalel, Haddouche Ali, Chemam FayçalIn this study we present and analysis of the return-stroke lightning current and described their models which existing in the literature by several authors for the evaluation of radiated electromagnetic fields and modelling the coupling with electrical systems based on the calculation of induced voltages. The objective of this work is to take part in the improvement of the coordination … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutonomic Middleware Services for Just-In-Time Grid Services ProvisioningWail M. Omar, A. Taleb-Bendiab, Yasir KaramThe advent of widespread distributed computing environment, such as information systems and computational grids computing has enabled a new generation of applications that are based on seamless access, aggregation and interaction. The dramatic side of the story is a strong presence of the plea that those decentralized Grids are potentially affected by a number of primitives derived from their anatomy, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Detection of 3-Phase VSI using Wavelet-Fuzzy AlgorithmM. Rozailan Mamat, M. Rizon, M. S. KhannicheThe good knowledge and information about the fault mode behaviour of the PWM voltage source inverter is important to improve system design, protection and fault tolerant control. This paper develops a real-time condition-monitoring algorithm for 3-phase Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter in fuzzy speed controlled induction machine. It is designed to detect and identify the transistor open-circuit fault and an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsumer Choice Prediction: Artificial Neural Networks versus Logistic ModelsChristopher Gan, Visit Limsombunchai, Mike Clemes, Amy WengConventional econometric models, such as discriminant analysis and logistic regression have been used to predict consumer choice. However, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying artificial neural networks (ANN) to analyse consumer behaviour and to model the consumer decision-making process. The purpose of this paper is to empirically compare the predictive power of the probability neural … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Chord Length Distribution Along an Edge: The Wedge Case and the Quadratic Rod CaseWilfried GilleThe analytic expression is given for the chord length distribution density f(l,b) along the edge of an infinitely long rectangular wedge and for a quadratic rod, both of constant breadth b. The general result is: A constant behaviour for 0 < l < b and a finite jump of size 2/b at l = b is an intrinsic feature of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFirms and their Responsibility towards NatureJerome Ballet, Damien BazinCorporate social responsibility is increasingly discussed in economics and management studies today. Corporate leaders often make use of this concept, which finds its origins in philosophy, to analyse the normative behaviour of their companies. But what exactly is corporate responsibility? Is it a mere concept currently in vogue, or is it a new structural approach which could indeed take responsibility … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
