Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Cooperative Learning on Students' Mathematics Achievement and Attitude towards MathematicsEffandi Zakaria, Lu Chung Chin, Md. Yusoff DaudProblem statement: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cooperative learning on mathematics achievement and attitude towards mathematics. Approach: This quasi-experimental study was carried out on two form one classes in Miri, Sarawak. One class (n = 44) was assigned as an experimental group and the other (n = 38) was assigned as a control group. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2010 · 22,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSorting N-Elements Using Natural Order: A New Adaptive Sorting ApproachShamim Akhter, M. Tanveer HasanProblem statement: Researchers focused their attention on optimally adaptive sorting algorithm and illustrated a need to develop tools for constructing adaptive algorithms for large classes of measures. In adaptive sorting algorithm the run time for n input data smoothly varies from O(n) to O(nlogn), with respect to several measures of disorder. Questions were raised whether any approach or technique would … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,730 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetabolic Fingerprinting of Three Malaysian Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) Using Gas Chromatography-Mass SpectromertryH.J. Mahdi, R. Andayani, IshakProblem statement: There is a chemical variation among different ginger cultivars detected by previous studies including the volatile and non-volatile oleo-resins. In this study we try to determine whether these variations are related to a genetic factor rather than environmental or intrinsic factors. Approach: A comprehensive metabolic fingerprinting from the leaves of three micro-propagated ginger cultivars Bukit Tinggi, Tanjung Sepat … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCommunity Learning Center for Building Alternative Learning among the YouthSampan Rittidet, Sombat Rittidet, Prasopsuk Rittidet, Winyoo SataProblem statement: The research question arose from the youth’s problems, such as, playing truants, motorcycle racing and drug taking. The students, primary and secondary school levels, did poorly in classes or dropped out from school. The Thai society, therefore, took in poorly-prepared youth. The study aimed at building an alternative learning center for the Thai youth so that they could … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChange Detection Using Neural Network with Improvement Factor in Satellite ImagesM. A. Fkirin, S. M. Badwai, Sayed A. MohamedProblem statement: The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of using the neural network techniques in change detection of remotely sensed data. Approach: In addition, the tuning parameters of the network, such as encoding the output classes, adding the momentum term and learning rate, are investigated in order to achieve best network performance. Results: Neural network-based change … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Performance of Replacement Heifers in Hot Arid Environment Under Intensive ManagementM. A. Razzaque, S. A. Mohammed, T. Al- Mutawa, M. BedairProblem statement: Imported Holstein Friesian dairy cattle are exposed to hot arid climate in feedlot management in Kuwait. Desert climate is extreme reaching high 45-50°C in summer and low -4ºC in winter at day and night respectively. High calf mortality, poor reproduction and milk yields were main constraints to viable dairying. The objectives of this study were to assess the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Pre-Weaned Dairy Calves under Hot Arid Environment: Effects of Immunoglobulins and Age on Diseases and MortalityM. A. Razzaque, T. Al-Mutawa, S. Abbas, M. BedairProblem statement: A high mortality rate (crude mortality 43.6%) of pre-weaned dairy calves resulted in unavailability of replacement heifers in Kuwait. Dairy producers resorted to import pregnant heifers for herd replacement. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of dam vaccination and age, serum Immunoglobulin (Ig) on disease syndromes and mortality in pre-weaned calves. Approach: Late pregnant Holstein Friesian … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLandscape Change and Sandy Desertification Monitoring and AssessmentEltahir Mohd Elhadi, Nagi Zomrawi, Hu GuangdaoProblem statement: The objective of this study is to develop techniques for assessing and analyzing sand desertification in the northern part of Shaanxi Province, China. Approach: In order to reveal the process of land degradation, especially the latest situation of sandy desertification, a method integrating remote sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS) and field survey was employed to build a sandy … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractional Calculus for Certain Integral Operator Involving Logarithmic CoefficientsAabed Mohammed, Maslina Darus, Daniel BreazProblem statement: Some properties of certain integral operators on some subclasses were studied. Approach: Certain classes defined by integral operators were introduced. The well known definitions and preliminaries results were stated. Results: Having new integral operator, the characterization problems were discussed. Thus sufficient conditions were given. Conclusion: Therefore, by having new integral operators, sufficient conditions were determined. In fact, other … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,185 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtility-Based Policy Management System for Virtual OrganizationAnas J.A. Husain, Chan Huah YongProblem statement: Policy issues have become a challenge within Virtual Organizations (VOs) that integrate participants and resources, spanning multiple physical institutions. Each of the VO classes has different goals that hope to be achieved by providing policies. The main question in this regard is that "how such policies can help the entire VO participants achieve their goals". Approach: As a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,371 accessesView PDFCite
