Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Manufacturing of a Custom Skull ImplantJuan Felipe Isaza Saldarriaga, Santiago Correa Vélez, M.D. Adolfo Cumplido Posada et al.Problem statement: Cranioplasty is defined as a neurosurgical procedure to cover an injured bone in the skull. This procedure is carried out in order to protect and restore intracranial structures and to restore the appearance and psychological stability of the patient. Advances in medical imaging, such as MRI and CT, have allowed the 3D reconstruction of anatomical structures for several … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2011 · 9,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeeking an Alternative Modality to the Management of Nigeria's Fertilizer Subsidy Scheme-An Empirical Approach to the Case Study of Ondo State (1976-1996)Victor O. Asekunowo, Grace T. Olutunla, Adebiyi G. DaramolaProblem statement: The objective of Nigeria’s fertilizer subsidy scheme was to make inorganic fertilizers readily available to farmers at affordable prices in order to boost food production in the country. Shortly into the scheme, farmers complained that fertilizers were not received at the time of need and in sufficient quantities. Approach: Using Ondo State, Nigeria as a case study, to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of the Effect of Infilled Brick Walls on Behavior of Eccentrically Braced Frames Using Explicit Finite Elements MethodAmir Saedi Daryan, Masood Ziaei, Ali Golafshar et al.Problem statement: Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are usually infilled by masonry walls, but in common design, the stiffness and lateral resistance of these walls is ignored. Considering the results of carried out tests and studies, it seems that infilled masonry walls have a significant influence on the stiffness and the strength of EBFs. Since experimental test of total frame with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of the Calculation and Measurement Techniques of Earth Resistance ValuesN. Mohamad Nor, R. Rajab, K. RamarMuch research has been published in the literature on the mathematical approaches to obtain the most accurate earth resistance and resistivity values. However, the published research only conducted the comparisons among the mathematical/computational techniques and so far none has conducted validation tests of these mathematical/computational methods against the real earth resistance measurement at real field sites. Thus, the main contribution … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Impacts of Sustainable Dairy Farming in Char Areas of Northern BangladeshJasim Uddin Ahmed, Shankar Kumar Raha, Md. Habibur RahmanThis study was conducted to evaluate the potential impacts of sustainable dairy farming in Char areas of Northern Bangladesh. A total of 600 poorest dairy farming households were selected out of 1323 households, taking 200 households from each Upazila of Sariakandi, Islampur and Belkuchi of Bogra, Jamalpur and Sirajganj districts, respectively using simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 2 Nov 2017 · 8,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA DC-DC Circuit Using Boost Converter for Low Voltage Energy Harvesting ApplicationNurul Arfah Che Mustapha, A.H.M. Zahirul Alam, Sheroz Khan, Amelia Wong AzmanA DC-DC step-up voltage converter is designed to convert a very low voltage supply, 35 mV such as from the thermal energy source from body heat. The converter can generate an output voltage up to 210 mV, approximately six imes its initial input voltage over a frequency of 36 GHz. The effect of switching transistors, inductor current, rise and fall … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 9 Jun 2015 · 6,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF PUERPERAL METRITIS ON HOLSTEIN COWS PRODUCTIVE, REPRODUCTIVE VARIABLES AND CULLING RATESA. Dawod, Byeng R. MinThe objective of the study was to determine the effect of puerperal metritis prevalence in high yielding Holstein cows on productive (305 days, actual milk yields), reproductive (days to first estrus, days open and services per conception) variables and culling rates. Throughout the study, 2885 dairy records were collected from high yielding private Holstein dairy farm (average milk yield was … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Zones of Peruvanthanam and Valiyathodu Sub-Watersheds of Manimala River BasinVadakkepurakkal Rekha, Aikara Varkey George, Rita MendezGroundwater is a dynamic and replenishable natural resource. But in hard rock terrains, its availability is of limited extent. In sub-watershed studies, remote sensing and GIS techniques have the advantages of spatial, spectral and temporal data, covering large and inaccessible areas within a short span of time. Thus this technique has become a very handy tool in assessing and monitoring … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2013 · 7,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWorldviews in Isan-Thai StoriesJaruwan Thammawat, Pathom Hongsuwan, Wajuppa TossaProblem statement: This study aimed to investigate two-fold: To present worldviews in Isan-Thai Stories and to explain the connections between the worldviews and their societal contexts. Approach: Following the methodology of folklore studies, both oral and written versions of Isan-Thai stories were analyzed in order to find out their structures, contents, motifs and contexts. The 76 stories which were chosen … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Light-Weight Service Discovery Protocol for Ad Hoc NetworksRanwa Al Mallah, Alejandro QuinteroProblem statement: In mobile ad hoc networks devices do not rely on a fixed infrastructure and thus have to be self-organizing. This gives rise to various challenges to network applications. Existing service discovery protocols fall short of accommodating the complexities of the ad-hoc environment. However, the performance of distributed service discovery architectures that rely on a virtual backbone for locating … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,336 accessesView PDFCite
