Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Approach based on Winter's Model and Weighted Fuzzy Time Series for Forecasting Trend and Seasonal DataSuhartono, Muhammad Hisyam LeeProblem statement: In the literature, the most studied of fuzzy time series for the purpose of forecasting is the first order fuzzy time series model. In this model, only the first lagged variable is used when constructing the first order fuzzy time series model. Therefore, such approaches fail to analyze accurately trend and seasonal time series which is an important … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Consortia from Taptapani Hot Water Springs for Mining Effluent TreatmentPoonam Nasipuri, Gauri G. Pandit, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriProblem statement: Soluble sulfate load in effluent is a crucial problem from mining industries. The study involved isolation of efficient Sulfate Reducing Bacterial (SRB) consortium from hot water spring for bioremediatrion of sulfate contaminated waste water. Approach: The enriched bacterial consortium was isolated in medium DSMZ 16695. The sulfate reduction efficiency was measured by turbidometric method. The Km and Rmax … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCondoms-As Sources of Extracellular Enzyme Producing MicrobesMadhusmita Mishra, Poulomi Nandy, Sarvani Debsarma et al.Problem statement: Condoms are widely used birth control measures which are made of natural latex or synthetic materials like polyurethane or polyisoprene as matrix with lubricants added to make them ready to use commodities. Absence of sterilization method along with presence of lubricant like petroleum jelly (that are applied on the outer surface), prompted the investigators to look for microbes … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMisbehaving Node Detection in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks using Multi Hop Acknowledgement SchemeUsha Sakthivel, S. RadhaProblem statement: For any node in a Mobile Ad hoc Network conservation of battery power and bandwidth are the priority. Hence, they try to reduce the overload they would otherwise incur when they forward packets. This selfish behavior of a node affects the throughput of the network. The nodes may also choose a back off value of shorter duration. These … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination and Evaluation of Antioxidative Activity in Red Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) and Green Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia deliciosa)Normala Halimoon, Mardhiah Hayati Abdul HasanProblem statement: Dragon fruit or pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus), is believed to be a healthy source of vitamins, fiber and antioxidants, especially the red-fleshed varieties which contain lycopene. Approach:Compared to green kiwi fruit (Actinidia deliciosa), which already known contain high antioxidant activity. Results:The antioxidant capacity of Hylocereus undatus (H. undatus) and Actinidia deliciosa (A. deliciosa) in three different solvent extraction; ethanol, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 9,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHealth Impacts Estimation of Mineralogical and Chemical Characterization of Suspended Atmospheric Particles over the East DesertU. Ali Rahoma, Elsayed EmaraProblem statement: The small size fraction of aerosols, measured as PM10 and PM2.5, rather than the larger particles, is considered to be responsible for most of the health effects. Such particles have a relatively long residence time in the atmosphere and can therefore travel over long distances. Hence, a large portion of ambient concentrations of PM10 and in particular of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrivacy and Social Interaction in Traditional Towns to Contemporary Urban Design in IranSamira Ramezani, Shima HamidiPrivacy as an inherent feature of Iranian culture is evident in formation of Iranian traditional towns. Put differently, attention to the inside was one of the most desirable principles in Iranian traditional architecture as well as urbanism. However, privacy did not lead to isolation in Iranian culture and social contact was also of a great importance to Iranians. Problem statement: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Two Regimens of Nigella sativa Extract for Treatment of Subclinical Mastitis Caused by Staphylococcus aureusHamideh Ghodrati Azadi, Nima FarzanehProblem statement: Little research has focused on treatment of cows with subclinical mastitis during lactation. The seed of Nigella sativa Linn. (Ranunculaceae), commonly known as black seed or black cumin, is used in folk (herbal) medicine. Approach: Objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of Nigella sativa Extract (NSE) with two regimens for treatment of subclinical mastitis in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Predator Go for Size Selection or Preferential Toxic-Nontoxic Species Under Limited Resource?Joydeep Pal, S. Bhattacharya, J. ChattopadhyayProblem statement: Selectivity is common in predator-prey interaction but the selection mechanism is still unexplored and a debatable issue in modern theoretical and experimental ecology for numerous species across the globe. In present investigation we emphasized the hypothesis that the zooplankton is less inclined to opt the food based on size selectivity criteria than the preferential selectivity for the safe … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProfiling and Curing from Shigella Spp Isolated from Plasmid Diarrheal PatientsMunim R. Ali, Raad N. Hasan, Ali I. Mohammed, Ahmaed A. AbbasProblem statement: Shigellosis is a common infectious disease especially in underdeveloped countries. The bacteria are primarily transmitted through the faecal-oral route. The inflammatory process of acute Shigella infection affects the colon and is characterized clinically by fever, cramping abdominal pain with frequent loose stools that might contain mucus, pus and blood. Approach: This study determined the susceptibility of Shigella isolates … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,429 accessesView PDFCite
