Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReconciling the Bio Safety Protocol and the WTO Regime: Problems, Perspectives and PossibilitiesP. G. Gayathri, Reshma R. KurupProblem statement: The issue of regulation of international trade in Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) evokes a very unique, passionate and emotional debate between environmentalists and businesses. At the conceptual level itself, like most other multilateral environmental agreements, the Cartagena Protocol appears to be incompatible with the WTO Rules. Approach: Further, since there is precious little scientific certainty on the actual … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,782 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetically Modified Organism Trade Route and Biosafety-Is It a Failing Synthesis?Debdatta Dobe, Rohini SenProblem statement: GM regulations have spawned international conflicting reactions especially between US and EU, with countries requiring food aid caught midway. This article covers the following issues: Whether biotechnology policies of other countries affect the developing countries’ trade in agricultural crops?" Does unregulated GM expansion and contamination, render the system fallacious? Can there be synthesis between trade and environment? Approach: … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel of High-Temperature Diffusion of Interstitial Silicon Atoms in SiliconM. Jadan, A. R. Chelyadinskii, V. Yu. YavidProblem statement: Correct description of the anomalous phenomena determined by self-point defects in implanted silicon desires knowledge of their properties. Interstitial Si atoms themselves display anomalies in their behavior and firstly in existence of two very different values of the diffusion coefficient. Approach: We analyzed experimental results and proposed the model of diffusion of interstitial Si atoms in silicon in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructure, Ultrastructure of the Anther, Pollen Microsporogenesis and Morphology of Pollen Grains of Two Populations of Lygeum spartum L. in AlgeriaKatia Abdeddaim-Boughanmi, Meriem Kaid-HarcheProblem statement: The Lygeum spartum L. represented by a single species occupies several regions of the Mediterranean basin. This plant plays an important ecological role in the fight against desertification and economic development in the manufacture of paper pulp. Approach: However, the cytogenetic studies in mitosis in this species revealed the existence of two ploidy levels: 2n = 40 among … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Vegetation Dynamics using Long-Term Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Time-SeriesTamara Bellone, Piero Boccardo, Francesca PerezProblem statement: The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is the most extensively used satellite-derived index of vegetation health and density. Since climate is one of the most important factors affecting vegetation condition, satellite-derived vegetation indexes have been often used to evaluate climatic and environmental changes at regional and global scale. The proposed study attempted to investigate the temporal vegetation dynamics … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo-Step Robust Diagnostic Method for Identification of Multiple High Leverage PointsArezoo Bagheri, Habshah Midi, A.H.M. Rahmatullah ImonProblem statement: High leverage points are extreme outliers in the X-direction. In regression analysis, the detection of these leverage points becomes important due to their arbitrary large effects on the estimations as well as multicollinearity problems. Mahalanobis Distance (MD) has been used as a diagnostic tool for identification of outliers in multivariate analysis where it finds the distance between normal … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Agricultural Water Management Mechanisms in Zarindasht County, Fars Province, IranAli Asadi, Yaser Mohammadi, Hossein Shabanali FamiProblem statement: Both sequential droughts and lack of water optimal consumption in Zarindasht county, have created scarcity problem that caused agricultural yield’s loss in this county. So according to lack of optimal consumption of agricultural water in this county, the main purpose of this study was to investigate agricultural water management mechanisms in three fields of irrigation sources, water transfer … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIonospheric Total Electron Content Response to the December 26, 2004 North Sumatra EarthquakeA. Abdullah, A. F.M. Zain, M. H. Jusoh et al.Problem statement: Ionospheric precursors of earthquake have been studied by scientists and seismologists. This study aims at examining the relationship between the ionosphere and earthquake precursors. The effects of the anomalous electric field that penetrates the ionosphere on the electron concentration can be measured experimentally. This study reports on the variability of the Total Electron Content (TEC) during the December … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDisposition of Human Resource Development Structure in Manufacturing Firms in MalaysiaAbdullah HaslindaProblem statement: Human Resource Development (HRD) is rapidly gaining importance in manufacturing firms in Malaysia, as there are strong driving forces such as legal, financial and infrastructural support from the Government. This is because the Government believes that investment in human capital is key to the success of the country’s economy. However, this strategy may not be effective without the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,623 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTEC and Scintillation Study of Equatorial Ionosphere: A Month Campaign over Sipitang and Parit Raja Stations, MalaysiaM. Abdullah, A. F.M. Zain, Y. H. Ho, S. AbdullahProblem Statement: Ionospheric scintillations, which cause significant effects on satellite signals for communication and navigation, often takes place in equatorial region such as Malaysia. However, this disturbance are not fully understand due to few studies performed. This research reports the study and monitoring activity on Total Electron Content (TEC) and ionospheric scintillation in Malaysia using GPS measurements. Approach: One dual-frequency … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,506 accessesView PDFCite
