Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolitical Stability and Economic Growth in AsiaMuhammad Younis, Xu Xiao Lin, Yahya Sharahili, Santhirasegaram SelvarathinamThis study investigates the effects of various factors of political instability on economic growth in selected ten Asian economies during 1990-2005. Our empirical findings show a close relationship between political stability and economic growth. We have analyzed the data by using ordinary least squire econometrics methods, which conclude that 32.35 scores increasing of index of political stability leads to one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeographic Distribution and Genetic Analysis of Physiological Racesof Setosphaeria turcica in Northern ChinaJingao Dong, Yongshan Fan, Xiumei Gui et al.Five hundreds and forty-six isolates of Setosphaeria turcica, the causal agent of Northern Corn Leaf Blight, were collected in 61 corn-growing locations throughout six provinces of Northern China during 2000-2002, to determine their pathogenicity on two sets of host differentials: OH43/Huangzao4, OH43Ht1Huangzao4Ht1, OH43Ht2/Huangzao4Ht2, OH43Ht3/Huangzao4Ht3 and OH43HtN/Huangzao4HtN. The isolates were grouped into 13 different physiological races (0, 1, 12, 3, 13, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSulfur Dioxide (SO2) Accumulation in Soil and Plant's Leaves around an Oil Refinery: A Case Study from Saudi ArabiaM. O. Al-Jahdali, A. S. Bin BisherThe accumulative levels of SO2 in soil and plant's leaves around an oil refinery were monitored. Four different sites around the refinery area were chosen; west, south east, north east and the northern side. The refinery southern side was not accessible. In addition to the soil samples, leaves samples of the dominant plants species Myoporum pictum were randomly collected from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,797 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Low Frequencies on Three Phase Induction Motor Performance Operating in Close Proximity to Rated SpeedQazem Jaber, Qais Naman, Mahdi ShamaseenVariable speed drives (VSD) are adhered to induction motors in most of the present industrial applications. And since the world has become more conscientious to energy saving, inverters established them selves in domestic buildings and industry. Square wave inverters generate dominant harmonics of the 5th, 7th, 11th and 13th order. Inverters based on PWM strategy produce much higher harmonic order … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,519 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of AODV in Wireless Ad Hoc NetworksZeyad M. Alfawaer, GuiWei Hua, Nidal A. HamdehAODV is a mature and widely accepted routing protocol for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), it has low processing and memory overhead and low network utilization, and works well even in high mobility situation. We modified AODV to use these dominating sets, resulting in the AODV-DS protocol. Our contribution in addressing the fragility of a minimum connected dominating set in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of AP-1 Antagonism in Growth Inhibition of Cervical Cancer Cell Lines by RetinoidsShennan Lu, Doris M. BenbrookRetinoid compounds induce multiple molecular effects that need to be taken into consideration in the development of theses agents as pharmaceuticals for cancer chemoprevention. Inhibition of cancer cell growth by retinoids is thought to occur through at least two mechanisms of transcriptional regulation resulting from direct binding of retinoids to nuclear retinoid receptors (RARs and RXR’s). First, the nuclear receptors … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRe-organization Impact on the Telekom Malaysia's International Division ProductivityAhasanul Haque, Ali Khatibi, Khaizura KarimInternational Divisions' productivity was perceived to incline towards a downward trend which was contravened in 1996 re-organization objective of Telekom Malaysia. This study aims to analyze the root causes of this setback and recommend the solutions to improve the company's productivity. The method to diagnose the root cause was done through surveys and interviews. The data collection was carried out … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing User Trust to Improve Web UsabilityPunam Bedi, Hema BanatiThe technological advancement has significantly influenced the style of human-computer interaction, especially for World Wide Web. The users can now afford to choose amongst multiple websites offering similar services. The website which provides a usable interface along with requisite services, scores over its competitors. User interaction with a website is driven by two major factors- the performance factors associated with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from TurkeyBerrin Gencer, Thomas M. ShinnickTo survey the circulating strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Turkey, all clinical isolates (381 patients) recovered in laboratories in six cities during one-month periods were collected and typed by IS6110-DNA fingerprinting and spoligotyping. Drug susceptibilities were also determined. About 23% of the isolates were resistant to one or more drugs and about 4% were multidrug resistant (i.e., resistant to at … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Iterative Algorithms with Accelerate Convergence for Solving Implicit Difference EquationsQing-Fu Liu, Wei-Jun Zhong, Mancho ManevThis study focuses on the solution of implicit difference equations, which are very difficult to compute in parallel for the diffusion equation. For improving the convergence rates and the properties of gradual-approach convergence of Segment-Classic-Implicit-Iterative (SCII) and Segment-Crank-Nicolson-Iterative (SCNI) algorithms realizing efficient iterative computation in parallel by segmenting grid domains, SCII and SCNI algorithms with accelerated convergence are studied and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 6,801 accessesView PDFCite
