Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Cost Comparison Between Conventional and Formwork System: A Case Study of Four-storey School Buildings in MalaysiaNuzul Azam Haron, Ir. Salihuddin Hassim, Mohd. Razali Abd. Kadir, Mohd Saleh JaafarThe Malaysian construction industry is undergoing a transitional change from an industry employing conventional technology to a more systematic and mechanized system. This new system is now known as the Industrialized Building System (IBS). This new method of construction can increase productivity and quality of work through the use of better construction machinery, equipment, materials and extensive pre-project planning. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 9,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical and Biological Warfare: Should Rapid Detection Techniques Be Researched To Dissuade Usage? A ReviewMark R. Hurst, Ebtisam WilkinsChemistry, microbiology and genetic engineering have opened new doorways for the human race to propel itself to a better future. However, there is a darker side to Bioengineering. One element of this is the manufacture and proliferation of biological and chemical weapons. It is clearly in the interest of humankind to prevent the future use of such weapons of mass … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,861 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Investigation of the Relationship among Analyst Following, Managerial Ownership and Firm Valuation: From the Perspective of Agency TheoryI. J. ChenIn this study, the relationship among analyst following, managerial ownership and firm valuation is investigated from the perspective of agency theory by using a nonlinear simultaneous equation model. The data from the Taiwan stock market verify the proposed hypotheses with a nonlinear three-stage least-square procedure. The empirical results show that managerial ownership (serving an internal monitoring function) and number of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Finite-Sample Bias of the Autoregressive Parameter Under Rank-based EstimationSteven CookMonte Carlo simulation is employed to examine the finite-sample properties of the estimated autoregressive parameter associated with the Dickey-Fuller and rank-based Dickey-Fuller unit root tests. While the downward bias associated with estimator under the Dickey-Fuller test has long been noted in the literature, the corresponding properties for the rank-based test have not been considered previously. The results presented show that … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Role of PKCδ in Apoptosis Induction of Mouse ThymocytesC. Lutz-Nicoladoni, T. Letschka, M. Leitges et al.The family of protein kinases C (PKCs) has been implicated in signal transmission leading to apoptosis induction and/or survival. These effects are cell type and tissue dependent. Numerous studies employing phorbol ester, a pleiotropic PKC activator, strongly implicated PKC in apoptosis induction of thymocytes. However, phorbol esters activate both, the conventional PKCs (PKCα, β, γ) as well as the novel … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrong Dependence at the Long Run and the Cyclical Frequencies in the Specification of the US Unemployment RateL. A. Gil-AlanaThis study deals with the presence of long range dependence at the long run and the cyclical frequencies in the specification of the US unemployment rate. We use a parametric procedure that permits us to test unit and fractional roots in raw time series. The results show that both the long run and the cyclical structures present a component of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractED-XRF Analysis of Total Suspended Particulates from Enamelware Manufacturing IndustryJ. A. Sonibare, F. A. Akeredolu, O. Osibanjo, I. LatinwoConcentration and elemental composition of the total suspended particulates (TSP) emitted due to manufacturing activities of an enamelware industry in Lagos, Nigeria were investigated. Gravimetric method was used in mass concentration determination and an energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) analyzer was employed in the multi-elemental analysis. The Federal Ministry of Environment (FMENV, Nigeria's environment regulating body) set limit of 250 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Cellulase from Oil Palm Biomass as Substrate by Solid State BioconversionMd. Z. Alam, Nurdina Muhammad, Mohd E. MahmatSolid state bioconversion (SSB) of lignocellulosic material oil palm biomass (OPB) generated from palm oil industries as waste was conducted by evaluating the enzyme production through filamentous fungus in lab-scale experiment. OPB in the form of empty fruit bunches (EFB) was used as the solid substrate and treated with the fungus Trichoderma harzianum to produce cellulase. The results presented in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
