Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Cluster Bed-Form Formation Over Uniform SedimentMasoud Karbasi, Mohammad H. Omid, Javad FarhoudiProblem statement: Cluster microforms are a type of small scale bed-form found in the surface layer of some gravel bed rivers. These bed-forms are comprised of discrete, organized groupings of particles that sit above the average elevation of the surrounding bed. As part of the structural organization of the bed, clusters are believed to impact the local dynamics of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn in vitro Assessment on the Efficacy of Clay-Based Formulated Cells of Pseudomonas Isolate UTAR EPA2 for Petrol DegradationA. S.Y. Ting, M. T. Fang, C. S. TeeProblem statement: Application of free-cell forms is usually impractical to achieve satisfactory bioremediative effect because the microbes are encumbered by the biotic and abiotic stresses from the environment. Approach: In this study, a hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium (Pseudomonas isolate UTAR EPA2) was formulated with various combinations of formulative materials, comprising of clay-based carrier materials such as Bentonite (B) and Kaolin (K), enrichment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Aug 2010 · 7,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Signal Detection of Sensor Array Units Using 5-3-1 Rule Based Matched Filter Algorithm with Intelligent IdentifiersMahmoud Z. IskandaraniA novel approach to signal detection and identification was developed and tested. The new algorithm was based on provision of tagging a Matched Filter (MF) with identifiers to recognize the source signal with and without noise, so that classification can be carried out. The algorithm was applied successfully to chemical Sensor Array Units (SAU). Problem statement: Signals obtained from chemical … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Dynamics Studies of Human β-GlucuronidaseIbrahim Ali Noorbatcha, Ayesha Masrur Khan, Hamzah Mohd SallehProblem statement: The enzyme β-glucuronidase is being used as a reporter molecule in the area of genetic engineering, as a component of prodrug therapy in cancer treatment and in the scouring process of cotton fabrics. However, a detailed understanding of the factors responsible for the stability and the activity of this enzyme is still not available. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy and Characteristics of different Methods of Coccidiosis Infection in Broiler ChickensM.A. Elmusharaf, H.E. Mohamed, A. Alhaidary, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: Different methods of experimental infection of broiler chickens with Eimeria species have been described in the literature. These methods had not been compared and contrasted so as to contribute to the selection of the most appropriate model of coccidiosis in broiler chickens. Identifying such a model was important to speed up the screening of potential coccidiostatics. Approach: In … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Roots Response to Mechanization in Bernam Series SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Field practices involving the use of mechanization in oil palm plantations could result in soil compaction which alters the soil physical properties. The gradual deterioration of soil physical conditions could restrict the growth and function of roots. This study was carried out to evaluate the response of oil palm roots to changes in soil physical properties due to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Rice Yield and Apparent Electrical Conductivity of Paddy SoilsM.H. Ezrin, M.S.M. Amin, A.R. Anuar, W. AimrunProblem statement: Understanding the relationships between rice yield and soil properties such as bulk electrical conductivity is of critical importance in precision farming. The apparent Electrical Conductivity of soil (ECa) is influenced by a combination of physico-chemical properties including soluble salts, clay content and mineralogy, soil water content, bulk density, organic matter and soil temperature. Accordingly, ECa is considered as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model of Pulpit Conservation and Revitalization Using Community Participation of Phu-Thai People in Northeast ThailandBunkoet Laomi, Songkoon Chantachon, Niyom WongphongkhamProblem statement: This thesis aimed to examine the following issues of the pulpits: (1) background of the model and structure, (2) current conditions and problems of pulpit construction using participation of Phu-thai people in northeast Thailand and (3) model of conservation of revitalization of pulpits by participation of Phu-thai people. Approach: Data were collected from documents and field study in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHyperspectral Remote Sensing for Tropical Rain ForestKamaruzaman Jusoff, Kasawani IbrahimProblem statement: Sensing, mapping and monitoring the rain forest in forested regions of the world, particularly the tropics, has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years as deforestation and forest degradation account for up to 30% of anthropogenic carbon emissions and are now included in climate change negotiations. Approach: We reviewed the potential for air and spaceborne hyperspectral … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response of Soybean (Glycine max) to Foliar Application of Methanol Under Different Soil MoisturesFarzad Paknejad, Mojtaba Mirakhori, Majid Jami Al-Ahmadi et al.Problem statement: Many cultivated area are situated in arid zone, where crop photosynthesis and productivity has limited by drought. Thus any treatment, such as methanol, that improve plant water relation and reduce stress impacts, could be benefit. Approach: In order to investigate effects of methanol application on some physiological properties of soybean under low water stress, a factorial experiment was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,150 accessesView PDFCite
