Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFarmers' Use of Integrated Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management Practices for Sustainable Crop Production: A Field-level Study in BangladeshM. Golam Farouque, Hiroyuki TekeyaProblem statement: The most pressing problem for Bangladesh agriculture is the current state of gradual decreasing of soil fertility, stagnating crop yields and declining productivity in a range of food crops. According to crop production scientists, Integrated Soil Fertility (ISF) and Nutrient Management (NM) is an advanced approach that can serve as a remedy to improve crop yields and to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInclusion Identification by Inverse Application of Boundary Element Method, Genetic Algorithm and Conjugate Gradient MethodMahmud Khodadad, Mohsen Dashti ArdakaniCharacterization of the interior of an inhomogeneous body using displacement measurements obtained by conducting a simple tension test was investigated. A homogeneous elastic solid body is assumed to have another solid body with arbitrary shape hidden inside it. The shape and physical properties of this inclusion were unknown. The Boundary Element Method (BEM) coupled with a mete heuristic Genetic Algorithm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaximum Principles for Second Order Elliptic Equations in Nondivergence Form and ApplicationsMohammad Al-MahameedThe main objectives of this study were to introduce a maximum principle for second order elliptic equations in nondivergence form and to use a nondivergence technique called the ABP method to establish the maximum principles in small domains. The advantage of this work was that we obtain a maximum principle for equations with discontinuous coefficients of the leading terms and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAging Study and Lifetime Estimation of Transformer Mineral OilMohammad R. MeshkatoddiniProblem statement: Power transformer is the most expensive equipment in electrical network; and the mineral oil has the main roles of insulating and cooling in it. Oil is subjected to the degradation because of the ageing, high temperature and chemical reactions such as the oxidation. Then the oil condition has to be checked regularly and reclaimed or replaced when necessary, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 11,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpraying Effects on Goat Welfare in Hot and Humid ClimateNazan Darcan, Fatin Cedden, Okan GuneyHeat stress is one of the major factors adversely affecting animal welfare and thus economic benefits of farms. This study was designed to determine the effects of three different spraying methods on goats for reducing heat stress. Thirty goats divided into three groups for the trial (One time sprayed a day: OTS, Two times sprayed a day TTS and Non-sprayed: … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Architecture-An Alternative To Application-Specific Digital Signal Processing ArchitecturesN. Ramadass, S. Natarajan, J. Raja Paul PerinbamEmerging trends in design of real-time digital signal processing systems indicate that in the future, a significant amount of performance improvement can be achieved using dynamically reconfigurable embedded architectures consisting of reconfigurable, general-purpose components. Although embedded real-time systems have long been prevailing in our society, no firm scientific base has been established yet to handle timing requirements in a systematic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe International Law Classification as an Understanding of the Built of International LawMohammad M. Al-SwelmeenTalking about the structure of international law as part of interior system, for accuracy and determined its rules we have to classify the international law rules completely. The main problems which face the international law rules for the purpose of searching the modern international law's structure are being included in the similarity and the classification of regularity side, to permute … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParsimonious Var Models For Air Pollution Dynamic AnalysisFontanella lara, Granturco mariagraziaWe discuss a framework to obtain temporal predictions for an evolving spatial field regularly sampled in time at arbitrary spatial locations. Difficulties caused by large data sets and the modelling of complicated spatio-temporal interactions limit the effectiveness of traditional space-time statistical models. In this study, we propose the use of a flexible approach to deal with large and small time-scale … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublicly Funded Education and Human Capital in the Presence of a Convex-Concave Education FunctionBinh Tran-Nam, Công Nghê TruongThis study investigates an aggregative optimal growth model in which short-lived individuals obtain their labour skill through education. The process of human capital formation is described by an increasing, convex-concave education function relating the success rate to the educational expenditure per student. The cost of education is publicly funded by an income tax imposed on adult workers. Despite the apparent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 7 Dec 2005 · 7,869 accessesView PDFCite
