Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCadmium Exposure Via Food Crops: A Case Study of Intensive Farming AreaRaagheni Munisamy, Sharifah Norkhadijah Syed Ismail, Sarva Mangala PraveenaCadmium (Cd) is ubiquitous in environment and may enter food chain through intense application of phosphate fertilizers to agricultural crops. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Kuala Terla and Blue Valley farming villages, Cameron Highlands to determine cadmium concentration in vegetables and soil and to determine the health risks among respondents. A total of 87 respondents were selected based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 8,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiometric Correction of Multitemporal Satellite ImagerySeema Gore Biday, Udhav BhosleProblem statement: Repeated observation of a given area over time yields potential for many forms of change detection analysis. These repeated observations are confounded in terms of radiometric consistency due to changes in sensor calibration over time, differences in illumination, observation angles and variation in atmospheric effects. Also major problem with satellite images is that regions below clouds are not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Study for Evaluating a New Three Stages Procedure for Selecting the Right Multivariate Regression ModelAli Hussein AL-MarshadiProblem statement: This article considers the analysis of multivariate regression experiment that is used frequently in variety of applications research such as psychiatric epidemiologic studies. Our study concerned with multivariate regression model in which the responses were correlated in particular ways for both standard and non-standard multivariate model structures. Our objective is to find reliable procedure that can be used … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Composite Hardened Walls Subjected to Blast LoadsGirum S. UrgessaProblem statement: There is currently no standard design guideline to determine the number of composites needed to retrofit masonry walls in order to withstand a given explosion. Past design approaches were mainly based on simplified single-degree-of-freedom analysis. A finite element analysis was conducted for concrete masonry walls hardened with composites and subjected to short duration blast loads. Approach: The analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing the Strength of Standard Involute Gear Teeth with Novel Circular Root Fillet DesignV. Spitas, Th. Costopoulos, C. SpitasIn this study the idea of spur gear teeth with circular instead of the standard trochoidal root fillet is introduced and investigated numerically using BEM. The strength of these new teeth is studied in comparison with the standard design by discretizing the tooth boundary using isoparametric Boundary Elements. In order to facilitate the analysis the teeth are treated as non-dimensional … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Total Productivity PCA Model for Assessment and Improvement of Electrical Manufacturing SystemsAli Azadeh, Farid GhaderiThis study presents a framework for assessment of electrical manufacturing systems based on a total machine productivity approach and multivariate analysis. Furthermore, the total model is developed by Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and validated and verified by Numerical Taxonomy (NT) and non-parametric correlation methods, namely, Spearman correlation experiment and Kendall Tau. To achieve the objectives of this study, a comprehensive … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Soil Fertility Status of Rehabilitated Degraded Tropical RainforestAiza Shaliha Jamaluddin, Arifin Abdu, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.An assessment of forest rehabilitation program in relation to soil fertility status by using soil indices could provide fundamental information on soil suitability for species preferences and improve the effective technique for future rehabilitation program in tropical rainforests. This study was conducted in order to characterize the soil properties and identifying the soil fertility status of rehabilitated and secondary forests. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 19 Jul 2013 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Heterogeneity in Phase II Clinical TrialsChristopher N. Barnes, Shesh N. RaiProblem statement: The common assumption in non-randomized Phase II clinical trials is a homogeneous population with homogeneous response. This assumption is at odds with many trials today; a heterogeneous response due to the existence of subgroups. Approach: In order to examine the effects of heterogeneity on the trial outcome, a systematic platform is developed to quantify the range and classes … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydraulic Flow through Engineering Bentonite-Based Containment BarriersEric Wooi Kee Loh, Devapriya Chitral WijeyesekeraThis paper presents the use of software modelling as a tool to study the impact of hydraulic "resistivity" on the contaminant transport through bentonite-based containment barriers. A sensitivity analysis on the predicted data was carried out by varying the boundary conditions as well as the hydraulic resistance to flow through varying contaminant transport parameters. Accordingly, both advective and diffusive flow … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2015 · 6,703 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Pollution Hazards of Shallow Well Water in Abeokuta and Environs, Southwest, NigeriaE. O. Orebiyi, J. A. Awomeso, O. A. Idowu et al.Problem statement: Pollution of well water, either from point or non-point sources, has become a thing of health concern both in urban and rural areas. Approach: This study aim at assessing the pollution hazards of groundwater resource by sampling some shallow wells from urban and peri-urban area of Abeokuta. Collected samples were analyzed for water quality parameters using standard procedures. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,918 accessesView PDFCite
