Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReducing the Environmental Impact of Olive Mill WastewaterAwni Khatib, Fathi Aqra, Nader Yaghi et al.Problem Statement: A research was needed to monitor the environmental impact of olive mill wastewater (OMW): production and relative production of olive mill waste. This was achieved by collecting data from 92 local olive mills in order to study the olive production yield, water consumption in olive washing and in oil recovery, wastewater generation relative to olive processed and oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotoacoustic Measurement of Thermal Diffusivity of Polypyrrole Conducting Polymer Composite FilmsM. Y. Lim, W. Mahmood Mat Yunus, A. Kassim, H.N.M.E. MahmudThe thermal diffusivity has been measured for the Polypyrrole-Polyethylene Glycol (PPy-PEG) composite films by the open photoacoustic method. The experimental data were analyzed for thermal diffusivity by fitting procedure. The different process parameters such as different concentrations of insulating polymer, monomer and electrolyte and the different voltages used to prepare the PPy-PEG composite films brought changes in thermal diffusivity. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCefepime Monotherapy is as Effective as Ceftriaxone Plus Amikacin in Pediatric Patients with Cancer and High-Risk Febrile Neutropenia: A Randomized ComparisonCarlos Alberto Pires Pereira, Antonio Sérgio Petrilli, Fabianne Altruda Carlesse et al.The empirical use of antibiotic therapies is widely accepted in patients with fever and neutropenia during cancer chemotherapy. The use of intravenous monotherapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics in patients with high-risk of complications is an appropriate alternative. However, few data are available in pediatric patients. We conducted a prospective, randomized, open study in patients with lymphoma or leukemia who had fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeparating Low Pass and High Pass Frequencies in the Image Without loosing informationZ. Alqadi, J. Musbah, A. L. MontengroGranulometries are morphological image analysis tools that are particularly useful for estimating object sizes in binary and grayscale images, or for characterizing textures based on their pattern spectra. There are many applications that morphology can be applied to. Some morphological operations like dilation, erosion and open-close are used in image and video processing, but with no application to pre-processing for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Effusivity Measurement of Virgin Coconut Oil-Methanol Mixtures using Photoacoustic TechniqueFiras Kamel Mohamad Al-asfoor, W. Mahmood Mat Yunus, Azmi Zakaria et al.Thermal effusivity of virgin coconut oil-methanol mixtures were measured using open photoacoustic cell technique. The samples were prepared by simply mixing virgin coconut oil and methanol using similar procedure applied for preparation of biodisel. Thermal effusivity of the sample was obtained by fitting the experimental data of photoacoustic amplitude signal to the expression of photoacoustic signal as a function of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Approach to Determine the Effects of MS Environment using the Portable GPS Receiver with Built-in AntennaWan Azlan Wan Zainal Abidin, Kiyotaka Fujisaki, Mitsuo TateibaCommunication impairment on the Mobile Satellite (MS) path for non-geostationary satellite is mainly due to effect of multipath and shadowing. In order to study the signal quality received by the MS user, a receiver system that has similar characteristics to the actual receiver used by the MS user should be used. This study presents a novel approach to determine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV/AIDS Prevention Knowledge among Youth in Cape Town, South AfricaKermyt G. Anderson, Ann M. BeutelHIV/AIDS knowledge is an important component of HIV/AIDS risk prevention strategies that may influence engagement in high risk behavior. This paper examines HIV/AIDS prevention knowledge among a representative sample of 4,174 youth living in Cape Town, South Africa. Data come from the Cape Area Panel Study (CAPS), and include black, coloured, and white respondents ages 14-22. Using an open-ended question, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Email Response in an Email Management System Using Natural Language Processing Based Probabilistic MethodsAbdulkareem Al-AlwaniEmail based communication over the course of globalization in recent years has transformed into an all-encompassing form of interaction and requires automatic processes to control email correspondence in an environment of increasing email database. Relevance characteristics defining class of email in general includes the topic of thee mail and the sender of the email along with the body of email. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVideo Retrieval using Histogram and Sift Combined with Graph-based Image SegmentationTran Quang Anh, Pham Bao, Tran Thuong Khanh et al.Problem statement: Content-Based Video Retrieval (CBVR) is still an open hard problem because of the semantic gap between low-level features and high-level features, largeness of database, keyframe’s content, choosing feature.In this study we introduce a new approach for this problem based on Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) feature, a new metric and an object retrieval method. Conclusion/Recommendations: Our algorithm is built … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 15 Mar 2012 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
