Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Leakage Current to Predict Insulator Flashover Using Artificial Neural NetworkN. Narmadhai, A. Ebenezer JeyakumarProblem statement: The phenomenon of flashover in polluted insulators has been continued by the study of the characteristics of contaminating layers deposited on the surface of insulators in high voltage laboratories. In the literature, Experimental investigations have been carried out on a real insulator or a flat plate model of insulators under high voltage application. This study proposed the Equivalent … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGermination Ecology of Rhanterium epapposum Oliv.Sameeha Zaman, Shyamala Padmesh, Harby TawfiqProblem statement: Rhanterium epapposum, locally called Arfaj is the national flower of Kuwait. The current situation of Rhanterium epapposum is quite critical in most areas of Kuwait. In fact it has completely disappeared from most parts of the country due to a combination of overgrazing, collecting for firewood and off road driving. Approach: Rhanterium epapposum is an excellent species for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Cluster Bed-Form Formation Over Uniform SedimentMasoud Karbasi, Mohammad H. Omid, Javad FarhoudiProblem statement: Cluster microforms are a type of small scale bed-form found in the surface layer of some gravel bed rivers. These bed-forms are comprised of discrete, organized groupings of particles that sit above the average elevation of the surrounding bed. As part of the structural organization of the bed, clusters are believed to impact the local dynamics of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of High Altitude on Blood Hormones in Male Westar Rats in South Western Saudi ArabiaFahaid H. Al-HashemProblem statement: Living in high altitude areas results in chronic hypoxia, which induces complex metabolic and endocrine adaptations. The current study investigated the endocrine responses of male Westar rats chronically exposed to high altitude-induced hypoxia in Abha City, in Southwestern Saudi Arabia. Approach: The rats were separated in to 2 groups of 10 rats. The first group was kept at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Effects of Drought and Salt Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Pennisetum divisum (Gmel.) Henr.Wafa’a A. Al-TaisanProblem statement: Water stress due to drought and salinity is probably the most significant abiotic factor limiting plant and also crop growth and development. Salinity and drought stresses are physiologically related, because both induce osmotic stress and most of the metabolic responses of the affected plants are similar to some extent. Water deficit affects the germination of seed and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 27,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Toxic Effects of Dihydroartemisinin on the Vital Organs of Wistar Albino RatsA. U. Utoh-Nedosa, P. A. Akah, T. C. Okoye, C. O. OkoliProblem statement: The current surge in the use of Artemisinin based Combination Therapy (ACT) in the treatment of falciparium resistant malaria in the tropics and the potentials of Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a member of the artemisinin family, to produce toxic effect in the vital organs (such as the liver, heart, lungs, intestine, spleen kidney and blood cells) necessitated this research. Approach: … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPore Water Pressure Contribution to Debris Flow MobilityChiara DeangeliProblem statement: Debris flows are very to extremely rapid flows of saturated granular soils. Two main types of debris flow are generally recognized: Open slope debris flows and channelized debris flows. The former is the results of some form of slope failures, the latter can develop along preexisting stream courses by the mobilization of previously deposited debris blanket. The problem … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Causal Agent of Sunflower Head and Stem Rot Disease, by Use of Soil borne Actinomycetes IsolatesF. Baniasadi, G. H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: High level of biosafety and non adverse effects on the environment of biocontrol strategies of pest management, are priorities of tomorrow's world agriculture. Actinomycetes are active biocontrol agents due to their antagonistic properties against wide range of plant pathogens particularly fungi. Fungal pathogens are liable for a big part of damages in agriculture economy. Approach: In the present … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 11,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity of Red Chittagong Cattle Using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA MarkersMohammad Masud Rana Mufti, Mst. Parvin Mostari, Gautam Kumar Deb et al.Problem statement: Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) is a potential genetic resource in Bangladesh having dairy potentialities, high resistance to disease and survive harse environmental condition while require low input supply. This resource is now disappearing due to indiscriminate crossing with other local and exotic cattle. To conserve this resource, find out the genetic diversity of RCC is prime concern. Approach: … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2009 · 8,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Metals Co-Toxicity in Hard Body Structures of Liza klunzingeri (Mugilidae: Perciformes) Mullet FishA.H. Bu-Olayan, B.V. Thomas, S.M.H. Al-HusainiThe possibility of inorganic pollutants causing stress to the marine ecosystem instigated us to conduct eco-toxicological tests on the predominant trace metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and V) in commercial important fish. Among the four metals, V had the lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC: LC15) at 6.3 µg L-1. Toxicity tests (96 h) using Multi factor Probit analysis revealed V (6.3 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,514 accessesView PDFCite
