Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesUse of the Nasal Speculum for Rat Endotracheal IntubationKhaled R. Alzaben, Sami A. Abu-Halaweh, Abdel Karim S. Aloweidi et al.One hundred and fifty athymic nude (rnu/rnu) rats were intubated by direct visualizion of the larynx using a nasal speculum with an attached otoscope as a light source. A blunt, plastic covered stylet was introduced between the vocal cords as guide for a 16-gauge intravenous catheter which was used as an endotracheal tube. Successful intubation was performed in 148 out … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of γ- ray, Microwave Heating and Solar Irradiation of Apple Juice on Organochlorinated Pesticides ResiduesK. Al-Ismail, S. Herzallah, H. DmoorThis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of solar radiation, microwave heating and γ-irradiation on the Organochlorinated Pesticide (OCP’s) in apple juice. The solar radiation caused a destruction of 20% after 20 hr exposure to sunlight compared to 12% reduction for the tested OCP’s after microwave heating for 10 min. On the other hand, the use of γ-irradiation leads … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,165 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA New Digital Signature Scheme Based on Factoring and Discrete LogarithmsE.S. Ismail, N.M.F. Tahat, R.R. AhmadProblem statement: A digital signature scheme allows one to sign an electronic message and later the produced signature can be validated by the owner of the message or by any verifier. Most of the existing digital signature schemes were developed based on a single hard problem like factoring, discrete logarithm, residuosity or elliptic curve discrete logarithm problems. Although these schemes … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGastroprotective Effects of Melastoma malabathricum Aqueous Leaf Extract against Ethanol-Induced Gastric Ulcer Iin RatsFouad Hussain, Mahmood Ameen Abdulla, Suzita Mohd Noor et al.The gastro-protective effects of the aqueous leaf extract of Melastoma malabathricum was investigated against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injuries in rats. There were four groups of adult sprague dawley rats, consisting of six rats per group. Macroscopically, oral administration of absolute ethanol to rats that had been pre-treated with only distilled water significantly produced extensive lesions of the gastric mucosa. Oral … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTraveling Salesman Approach for Solving Petrol Distribution Using Simulated AnnealingZuhaimy Ismail, Wan Rohaizad Wan IbrahimThis research presents an attempt to solve a logistic company's problem of delivering petrol to petrol station in the state of Johor. This delivery system is formulated as a travelling salesman problem (TSP). TSP involves finding an optimal route for visiting stations and returning to point of origin, where the inter-station distance is symmetric and known. This real world application … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInteractive and Automatic Query Expansion: A Comparative Study with an Application on ArabicGhassan Kanaan, Riyad Al-Shalabi, Sameh Ghwanmeh, Basel Bani-IsmailMuch attention has been paid to the relative effectiveness of Interactive Query Expansion (IQE) versus Automatic Query Expansion (AQE). This research has been shown that automatic query expansion (collection dependent) strategy gives better performance than no query expansion. The percentage of queries that are improved by AQE strategy is 57% with average precision equal to 43.2. Compared against AQE (collection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDeterminants of Success within an Integrated Business Curriculum Context: An Econometric AssessmentIsmail H. Genc, Selahattin BekmezThis paper studies an ongoing curriculum innovation at the College of Business and Economics at the University of Idaho, with junior level economics and business classes under one common team taught course, the Integrated Business Curriculum (IBC), instead of independent classes. In our study, there were six modules (classes) within IBC. The students were required to form teams, along with … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBlock Methods based on Newton Interpolations for Solving Special Second Order Ordinary Differential Equations DirectlyYap Lee Ken, Fudziah Ismail, Mohamed Suleiman, Suriah Md. AminThis study focused mainly on the derivation of the 2 and 3-point block methods with constant coefficients for solving special second order ordinary differential equations directly based on Newton-Gregory backward interpolation formula. The performance of the new methods was compared with the conventional 1-point method using a standard set of test problems. Numerical results were presented to illustrate the effectiveness … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSolving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands via Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Tabu SearchZ. Ismail, IrhamahThis study considers a version of the stochastic vehicle routing problem where customer demands are random variables with known probability distribution. A new scheme based on a hybrid GA and Tabu Search heuristic is proposed for this problem under a priori approach with preventive restocking. The relative performance of the proposed HGATS is compared to each GA and TS alone, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLeveling Process of Total Electron Content (TEC) Using Malaysian Global Positioning System (GPS) DataY. Norsuzila, M. Abdullah, M. IsmailThe signals from the satellites of the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) travel through the earth's ionosphere on their way to GPS receivers. However, ionospheric delay is one of the main sources of error in GPS. The magnitude of the ionospheric delay is influenced by the Total Electron Content (TEC) along the radio wave path from a GPS satellite to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,768 accessesView PDFCite
