Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram-Derived Radial Decision Trees: An Innovative Approach to Susceptibility Data DisplayRocco J. Perla, Paul P. BelliveauHospital antibiograms (ABGMs) are often presented in the form of large 2-factor (single organism vs. single antimicrobial) tables. Presenting susceptibility data in this fashion, although of value, does have limitations relative to drug resistant subpopulations. As the crisis of antimicrobial drug-resistance continues to escalate globally, clinicians need (1) to have access to susceptibility data that, for isolates resistant to first-line … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Flow Energy Dissipation over Different Stepped SpillwaysG. A. Barani, M. B. Rahnama, N. SohrabipoorIn this study, to investigate energy dissipation of flow overstepped spillways of different step shapes, a physical wooden model has been built in the Shahid Bahonar University’s hydraulics lab. This model with 41.41° slope has 84 cm height and 21 steps. Each step has 4 cm height, 4.5 cm width and 30 cm length. Experiments have been carried out for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPush-pull Strategy with Trap Crops, Neem and Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus for Insecticide Resistance Management in Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in CottonP. Duraimurugan, A. RegupathyInsecticide resistance in Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) is a major threat to cotton production in India. The virus infection was found to increase the susceptibility of H. armigera to the insecticides. But, use of Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV) on a larger scale and on cotton due to leaf alkalinity poses certain practical problems. Hence, studies were carried out to assess the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model of 4-Quadrant DC Electric Drive with 6-Pulse Dual ConverterKosmas ZdrozisMathematical model simulating the operation of DC electric drive hoisting mechanism has been developed. The study illustrates the capabilities of the developed model for investigation both normal and abnormal modes of operation of the converter and the supplying voltage. Large attention was given to the thyristor converter and its firing system so that fast-proceed micro-processes occurring in the converter can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison between Structural Element of Building Systems in MalaysiaM. R. Abdul Kadir, W. P. Lee, M. S. Jaafar et al.The Industrialized Building System (IBS) was introduced in Malaysia in 1966, but it failed to establish itself on a continuous basis though there has been a sustained large market for residential projects even since. One of the reasons behind this shortcoming is the lack of scientific data on labor productivity that could convince policy maker. Hence, the objective of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,070 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRevisiting Share Market Efficiency: Evidence from the New Zealand Australia, US and Japan Stock IndicesChristopher Gan, Minsoo Lee, Au Yong Hue Hwa, Jun ZhangThis study aims to re-examine the market efficiencies in New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZSE) and Australia Stock Exchange (ASX) stock indices to investigate whether Groenewold’s[1] findings still hold in the period after the financial liberalization (January 1990-January 2003). In addition, the study also examines whether the larger US NYSE and Japanese NIKKEI stock indices have any influence on the NZSE … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,972 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Gamma Irradiation on the Structure Diffusion Coefficient of Co-Zn Doped FerriteDalal Mohammed HemedaA series of the ferrite system Co0.6Zn0.4MnxFe2-xO4 with (x = 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1) were prepared by general ceramic method. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the formation of the cubic single phase structure. The lattice parameter and the crystal size increased after irradiation which was attributed to the formation of ferrous ions of larger radius than that of ferrous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of a Novel Concatenated FEC by RS and Irregular Turbo Codes on OFDM SystemsA. Shanmugam, A. R. Abdul Rajak, S. Vishwanath, R. UpendraCode Division Multiple Access (CDMA) performs well in a multi-cellular environment where a single frequency is used in all cells. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) has severe problems associated with multipath and Channel news. One possible problem is that the receiver may require a very large dynamic range in order to handle the large signal strength variation among users. Due … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel for Load Balancing On Processors in Parallel Mining of Frequent ItemsetsRavindra Patel, S. S. Rana, K. R. PardasaniThe existence of many large transactions distributed databases with high data schemas, the centralized approach for mining association rules in such databases will not be feasible. Some distributed algorithms have been developed [FDM, CD], but none of them have considered the problem of data skews in distributed mining of association rules. The skewness of datasets reduces the workload balancing between … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-shopping: Current Practices and Future Opportunities Towards Malaysian Customer PerspectiveAhasanul Haque, Ali KhatibiThe rapid diffusion on the internet widely documented high growth potential of Internet shopping in Malaysia, apparently there is still lack of understanding concerning the characteristics of Internet shopping in Malaysia and its potential impact on consumer marketing. Therefore, this study aims to establish a preliminary assessment, evaluation and understanding of the characteristics of Internet shopping in Malaysia. The results … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
