Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecreational Viagra Use and Sexual Risk among Drug Abusing MenDennis G. Fisher, Robert Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Until recently, the Viagra connection to HIV was anchored in older adults. However, CDC investigation showed stability in 50+ HIV diagnoses on the heels of upward trends in risk indicators among men who have sex with men (MSM) and substance abusing populations. Signs have increasingly pointed to recreational drug use among younger populations, to which Viagra is being added to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,605 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOverview of Certification Methodologies for Sustainable Constructions of Brazilian BuildingsVanessa Silva Pugliero, Lorenzo Campos Coiado, Lia Lorena Pimentel et al.The terms “sustainable” and “environmentally-friendly” have been used in the construction industry field as a marketing appeal. The methodology to judge in which level a building is sustainable in Brazil is incipient, without orientation and hardly ever there is a diffusion of these methods inside Brazilian territory. Almost all developed countries have their appropriate certification methodology for sustainable constructions. Some … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 25 May 2015 · 6,915 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom &#34Foreign&#34 Language Education to Plurilingualism: Challenges for Language Education Policy in a Multilingual JapanTeja OstheiderProblem statement: With a 41% increase in foreign residents over the last 10 years, the long-neglected issue of domestic multiculturalism and multilingualism cannot be ignored anymore in Japan. Nevertheless, there is still a deep gap between common images created by mass media and education regarding “internationalization” or “globalization” and the actual condition of Japan as a migrant country. By discussing … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2012 · 8,650 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWellbore Surveying While Drilling Based on Kalman FilteringMahmoud ElGizawy, Aboelmagd Noureldin, Jacques Georgy et al.Problem statement: Oil and gas are global fuels obtained primarily from drilling wells in underground terrestrial reservoirs. Vertical drilling is preferred because of its simplicity and therefore low cost, but subsurface targets can often be procured only by directing the wellbore along predefined non-vertical trajectories. For instance, directional drilling must be employed to reach locations inaccessible to the drilling rig, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,577 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Based Middleware for Grid ComputingS. Muruganantham, P. K. Srivastha, KhanaaProblem statement: "Grid" computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications and, in some cases, high-performance orientation. The role of middleware is to ease the task of designing, programming and managing distributed applications by providing a simple, consistent and integrated distributed programming environment. Essentially, middleware is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,339 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength and Ductility of Randomly Distributed Palm Fibers Reinforced Silty-Sand SoilsS.M. Marandi, M.H. Bagheripour, R. Rahgozar, H. ZareThis paper investigates the resultant strength and ductility behavior when randomly distributed palm fibers are used to reinforce silty-sand soils. The composite soils were tested under laboratory conditions and examined for unconfined compression strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and compaction test. The results indicated that; the maximum and residual strengths, orientation of surface failures, ductility and the stress-strain relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,857 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Partial Orientation in [100] Direction on the Magnetic Properties of Co-Ferrite Prepared from Nano ParticlesH. M. El-SayedChemical co-precipitation method was used for the preparation of Co-ferrite nano particles. The particle size was about 18 nm. A magnetic anisotropy of Co-ferrite could be increased by applying an external magnetic field during the pressing of the nano particles before the final sintering. This anisotropy enhanced the squareness and the coercivity of investigated samples. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordClose Range Photogrammetry and Neural Network for Facial RecognitionRami Al-Ruzouq, Shatha KadhimRecently, there has been an increasing interest in utilizing imagery in different fields such as archaeology, architecture, mechanical inspection and biometric identifiers where face recognition considered as one of the most important physiological characteristics that is related to the shape and geometry of the faces and used for identification and verification of a person's identity. In this study, close range … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 13 Aug 2012 · 7,319 accessesView PDF Cite
