Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHas The Sea Changed? Qualitative Analyses on the Views of Fishermen in the east coast zone of PeninsularHayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril, Bahaman Abu Samah, Jeffrey Lawrence D’Silva, Jegak UliProblem statement: Pressure from the uncontrolled human activities had caused damages to our environment. The sea, as one of the environment components has also suffered from these activities. Fishermen, whom depend on the sea for their income and sources of protein, can be one of the groups who are suffering the most. This study intends to discover the perception of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 2 Nov 2011 · 7,302 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnbalance Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Problem Reduction in Drug DesignD. Pugazhenthi, S. P. RajagopalanProblem statement: Activities of drug molecules can be predicted by Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) models, which overcome the disadvantage of high cost and long cycle by employing traditional experimental methods. With the fact that number of drug molecules with positive activity is rather fewer than that with negatives, it is important to predict molecular activities considering such an unbalanced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,704 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Green House Gases (GHG) Emissions from Oil Production Facilities at Northern Kuwait Oilfields: Simulated ResultsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gaseous emissions from flaring at various despised points. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,931 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformation Provided by Accrual and Cash Flow Measures in Determining Firms’ Performance: Malaysian EvidenceNorita Mohd Nasir, Shamsul Nahar AbdullahAccrual and cash flow measures have been argued to be able to evaluate firms’ performance, although the results are inconclusive throughout countries and time. This study examined the accrual and cash flow measures independently and jointly among Malaysian firms. The study predicted that the low cash flow subgroups (high income to cash flow firms) would show better results in operating, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,327 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow to Guide and Assess Risk Reduction using Risk Characterization IndicatorsPeter Borgen Sørensen, Rainer Brüggemann, Marianne Thomsen et al.Problem statement: The risk level predictions in risk assessment often suffer from uncertainties and may, thus, overlook some adverse effects. This problem can be reduced by using risk reduction strategies that continuously guide activities toward lowest possible risk. Approach: This study suggested a method to guide and assess such risk reduction strategies using multi-indicator risk characterization. It was a challenge … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,035 accessesView PDF Cite
