Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Severity of Mitral Valvular Regurgitation with Doppler Echocardiography Using Proximal Flow Convergence MethodPinjari Abdul Khayum, M.N. Giriprasad, P.V. SrideviProblem statement: Valvular regurgitation is recognized as the central cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though the clinician can detect the presence of regurgitation by mere physical examination; diagnostic methods become inevitable while estimating the severity of valvular regurgitation and in the transformation of cardiac chambers as in reaction to the volume overload condition. Lately, a promising new technology, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPromotion of Coconut Shell Gasification by Steam Reforming on Nickel-DolomitePattaraporn Chaiprasert, Tharapong VitidsantBiomass gasification by the use of metallic nickel as active metal on dolomite support has been chosen as catalyst because of its activity in biomass steam gasification and tar reduction. The purpose of this study is to study the effects of critical parameters on product gas compositions such as temperature, steam to carbon ratio (S/C) and oxygen input. The results … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing on the Biological Degradation of Toluene under Aerobic ConditionsAbdel E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, K. MartinellThe effectiveness of in-vessel bioremediation in reducing the concentration of toluene in contaminated soil under continuous and intermittent mixing conditions using invessel composting system. The results showed that there was a startup period (60 h) during which the average temperature rose from 21 to 32 and 40°C (and then remained constant) for the bioreactors with continuous and intermittent mixing, respectively. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Reduced- Protein Diets at Constant Total Sulfur Amino Acids: Lysine Ratio on Pullet Development and Subsequent Laying Hen PerformanceFariborz Khajali, M. Faraji, Saeid Karimi DehkordiThe effect of using a low protein regime in pullet development and subsequent layer performance was studied. The experiment consisted of two periods of rearing and laying. Two hundred and sixty Hy-line W36 chicks were used. In the rearing period, dietary protein level and ME content series of the control group used during starter (18-42), grower (43-63) and developer (64-119d) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Digital Signature Scheme Based on Mandelbrot and Julia Fractal SetsMohammad Ahmad Alia, Azman Bin SamsudinThis paper describes a new cryptographic digital signature scheme based on Mandelbrot and Julia fractal sets. Having fractal based digital signature scheme is possible due to the strong connection between the Mandelbrot and Julia fractal sets. The link between the two fractal sets used for the conversion of the private key to the public key. Mandelbrot fractal function takes the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmobilization of Lipase from Candida Rugosa on Palm-Based Polyurethane Foam as a Support MaterialRoila Awang, Mohd Rafaei Ghazuli, Mahiran BasriLipase from Candida rugosa was immobilized onto palm-based polyurethane foam (PU), which the polymer was pre-soaked in co-immobilized agent. The activities of PU-immobilized lipase were tested by the esterification reaction of oleic acid and oleyl alcohol in hexane. The PU-immobilized lipase was then characterized in term of its thermal, operational and storage stability. The optimum temperature for native and PU-immobilized … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing PLC for Custom-design of a PID/PWM Program to Control a Heater TemperatureMohammad A.K. AliaThis is a practical approach to control a continuous-time process variable (temperature) using a discrete controller (PLC) and a custom-designed software control algorithm and hardware interface, in a closed-loop system. Unlike the conventionally known technique of transforming a digital control action into a proportional analogue one by a D/A converter followed by power amplifier, the control action was formed internally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison Between the New and the Old Versions of Jordan Seismic CodeM.A. MusmarThe study comes as a vital step to shed120 light upon the purport of the recently published version of Jordan Seismic code (JSC), and how the drawbacks of the old version are surpassed. The new JSC code oversteps the old provisions, in that input parameters now have pronounced and significant physical meanings. The study concludes that the conversion from service … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimplification of Sun Tracking Mode to Gain High Concentration Solar EnergyOmar Aliman, Ismail Daut, Muzamir Isa, Mohd Rafi AdzmanPower conversion from solar thermal energy to electrical energy is still very cost-intensive. Serious effort has to be given in the development of the concentrator or heliostat structure expenditure which contributing the most expensive component in a central receiver solar power plant. With current development to find alternatives and lower down the capital, a new mode of sun tracking has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Pre-processing of USF and MIAS Mammogram ImagesAyman A. AbuBaker, R. S. Qahwaji, Musbah J. Aqel et al.High quality mammogram images are high resolution and large size images. Processing these images require high computational capabilities. The transmission of these images over the net is sometimes critical especially if the diagnosis of remote radiologists is required. In this paper, a pre-processing technique for reducing the size and enhancing the quality of USF and MIAS mammogram images is introduced. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,167 accessesView PDFCite
