Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Optimization of a 1.55 µm Waveguide Based on Silicon Planar Photonic CrystalsR. Bchir, A. Bardaoui, M. Machhout et al.Background: Silicon based Planar Photonic Crystals (PPC) are used for the design of a 1.55 µm waveguide. Line defects are then formed in the PPC structures, by removing rows of holes, to obtain a Planar Photonic Crystal Waveguide (PPCW). Objective: First, we varied the thickness of the Silicon slab and the pore radius in order to obtain optimum design parameters … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of L-Leucine Supplementation on Growth Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Grower-Broiler Chickens Fed Low Protein DietsE. Erwan, A. R. Alimon, A. Q. Sazili et al.Problem statement: Supplementation of broiler diets with cristalline amino acids (i.e. lysine, ethionine and threonine) may support equal broiler growth and improve overall amino acids balance and enable a reduction in CP level of diets. Approach: A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental L-leucine in diets containing recommended levels and low crude protein (20 and 18%, respectively) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti Microkernel Operating Systems for Multi-Core ProcessorsRami MatarnehProblem statement: In the midst of the huge development in processors industry as a response to the increasing demand for high-speed processors manufacturers were able to achieve the goal of producing the required processors, but this industry disappointed hopes, because it faced problems not amenable to solution, such as complexity, hard management and large consumption of energy. These problems forced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecretary IgA Concentrations and plasma Cell Count Changes Associated with the Estrous Cycle in EwesMorteta H. AL-Medhtiy, A. B.Z. Zuki, M. M. Noordin, S. AgungpriyonoProblems statement: The level of uterine Secretory-IgA (S-IgA) and numbers of plasma cells was measured to observe the differences between two stages of estrous cycle (follicular and luteal phase) in the healthy cycling non pregnant ewes. Approach: Twelve ewes were used in this study and they were divided into two groups of 6 animals each according to the stages of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSerum Levels of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I, Thyroid Hormones and Skeletal Muscle Fiber Size in Castrated Lambs with and Without Androgen TreatmentBani Z. Ismail, O. M. AL-Ababneh, M. B. AL-ZghoulTwelve, intact male lambs, 1-2- weeks old, were divided into 3 groups, Group W (4 lambs) were castrated at age less than 1 month, group WT (4 lambs) were castrated at the same age and treated with testosterone and group R (4 lambs) were left intact and served as control. Testosterone Propionate replacement was administered intramuscularly at a dose of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow Does The Bone Shaft Geometry Affect its Bending Properties?Kaveh PourAkbar Saffar, Nima JamilPour, Seyed Mohammad RajaaiIn this research, ten fresh specimens of sheep tibiae were provided from slaughtered animals. Whole bone specimens were loaded in three-point bending according to standard wet bone test protocols. Mechanical properties were determined and compared with the results which were obtained from two dry bone tests. The results showed that fracture bending moment and bone extrinsic stiffness had significant relations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehavior of Stabilized Peat Soils in Unconfined Compression TestsWong Leong Sing, Roslan Hashim, Faisal Haji AliProblem statement: Deep stabilized peat columns were known to be economical at forming foundations to support highway embankments constructed on deep peat land. However, failure in the formation of the columns with adequate strength was often attributed to unsuitable type and insufficient dosage of binder added to the soil. Organic matter in peat was known to impede the cementing process … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Organic and Inorganic Chromium Supplementation on Meat Quality of Heat-Stressed Broiler ChicksMajid Toghyani, Ali Khodami, Abbas Ali GheisariThis study examined the effect of different levels of dietary organic and inorganic chromium (Cr) on meat quality of broiler chicks reared under heat stress condition. Four hundred and twenty Ross male chickens in heat stress condition (33±3°C) were allocated to seven treatments in a completely randomized design. Treatments were supplemented with 0 (control), 500, 1000 or 1500 µg kg-1 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Characterization in Steel Casting and Recycling Opportunities in EuropeSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara Zanetti, Barbara RuffinoThe wastes coming from a steel foundry located in Italy, producing about 600,000 t/y of steel slabs, are considered in this work. The plant produces about 143,000 t/y of wastes, made of furnace and ladle slags (84%), pelletized dust (8%) and oxidised shaving (8%). The waste materials have been characterised by means of particle-size and chemical analyses, and some reuse/recycle … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
