Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordApplication of Direct Current and Temperature Stresses of Low-Voltage ZnO Based Varistor CeramicsM. G.M. Sabri, B. Z. Azmi, Zahid Rizwan et al.Problem statement: The stresses to humidity, DC and AC bias, multiple impulse voltages and high temperatures are known to affect the varistor performance and it is also interesting to know the effect of both DC bias and temperature stresses at the same time. Approach: Here, the simultaneous DC and temperature stresses degradation was investigated to see the changes of nonlinear … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 8,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSoil Erosion Prediction Based on Land Use Changes (A Case in Neka Watershed)Karim Solaimani, Saeid Modallaldoust, Sedigheh LotfiProblem statement: Land use change has transformed a vast part of the natural landscapes of the developing world for the last 50 years. Land is a fundamental factor of production and though much of the course of human history, it has been tightly coupled with economic growth. Soil erosion by water is one of the most important land degradation processes … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSkew Detection and Correction Technique for Arabic Document Images Based on Centre of GravityAtallah Mahmoud Al-Shatnawi, Khairuddin OmarProblem statement: Skew detection and correction is the first step process in the document analysis and understanding processing steps. Correction the skewed scanned document image is very important, because it has a direct effect on the reliability and efficiency of the segmentation and feature extraction stages. The noises and the deviation in the document resolution or types are still the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 30 May 2009 · 7,419 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNeural Networks Based Time-Delay Estimation using DCT CoefficientsSamir J. Shaltaf, Ahmad A. MohammadThis study dealt with the problem of estimating constant time delay embedded into a received signal that was noisy, delayed and damped image of a known reference signal. The received signal was filtered, normalized with respect to the peak value it achieved and then transformed by the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) into DCT coefficients. Those DCT coefficients that were most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordClassification of Pressure Range Based on the Characterization of Escherichia coli Cell Disruption in High Pressure HomogenizerRamakrishnan Nagasundara Ramanan, Beng Ti Tey, Tau Chuan Ling, Arbakariya B. AriffProblem statement: High pressure Homogenizer was used for cell disruption in many studies. But no work was carried out to study the characteristics of cell disruption in a wide range of pressure. Approach: The characteristics of Escherichia coli cell disruption was studied in Avestin small scale homogenizer by varying the operating pressure (50-1500 bar), cell concentration in the feed (1.39-12.51 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordChemical and Physical Characteristics of Cocopeat-Based Media Mixtures and Their Effects on the Growth and Development of Celosia cristataYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem statement: Cocopeat is considered as a good growing media component with acceptable pH, electrical conductivity and other chemical attributes but it has been recognized to have high water holding capacity which causes poor air-water relationship, leading to low aeration within the medium, thus affecting the oxygen diffusion to the roots. Incorporation of coarser materials into cocopeat could improve the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 19,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Heapify Based Parallel Sorting AlgorithmM. A.A.A. Hija, A. Zabian, S. Qawasmeh, O. H.A.A. HaijaQuick sort is a sorting algorithm whose worst case running time is θ(n2) on an input array of n numbers. It is the best practical for sorting because it has the advantage of sorting in place. Problem statement: Behavior of quick sort is complex, we proposed in-place 2m threads parallel heap sort algorithm which had advantage in sorting in place … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHydrophobic, Polar and Hydrogen Bonding Based Drug-Receptor Interaction of TetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinonesV.K. Sahu, A.K.R. Khan, R.K. Singh, P.P. SinghAnti-HIV drug discovery has been increasingly focusing on HIV-1-RT (reverse transcriptase) as a potential therapeutic target. Tetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinone (TIBO) belongs to non-nucleoside group of reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). A computational chemistry study has been performed on a series of tetrahydroimidazo-benzodiazepinones as HIV-1-NNRT inhibitors. Problem statement: In order to search out new drug of desired activity from the lead compounds, there was … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,837 accessesView PDFCite
