Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Electronic Properties of Metal-Insulator-Metal Structures for Fabrication of Cold CathodesHossein Ghaforyan, Majid EbrahimzadehProblem statement: The electrical properties of thin film structures consisting of metalinsulator- metal sandwiches are important in electronic devices. Approach: The electrical properties of thin film structures consisting of metal-insulator-metal sandwiches are investigated in this experimental work. Results: We are discussed of the electroformed metal-insulator-metal structures Au-MgF2-Au and comparison with other Au-SiO/CeF3-Au, Cu-CeF3-Cu, Cu-SiO-Cu, Au-CeF3-Au specimens. There explains various properties … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 12 Aug 2011 · 7,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Dystonia: An OverviewSergio Machado, Oscar Arias-Carrion, Flávia Paes et al.Problem statement: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive procedure whereby a pulsed magnetic field stimulates electrical activity in the brain. Dystonia is characterized by several disabling symptoms for which effective, mechanism-based treatments remain elusive. Approach: Consequently, more advanced non-invasive therapeutic methods were required. A possible method to modulate brain activity and potentially viable for use in clinical practice … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2011 · 10,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Human Activities on River Bank Stability (Case Study)Mojtaba Yamani, Abolghasem Goorabi, Javad DowlatiProblem statement: Investigation of interaction of human activities and rivers has become a important problem because they have essential role on rivers morphology. So, in this study Atrak River in North-East of Iran has been considered. Approach: The aim of this research was to determine human impact on the Atrak River morphology in the past and estimation of future outcomes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 9,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Development Model in Education and Religion Management Process between Thailand and LaoSongkoon ChantachanProblem statement: The monks’ education was a foundation for national development. The objectives of this research were: (1) to study historical background and development of model and process of management in education and religion between Thai-Lao, (2) to study and compare the model of management in education and religion of Thai-Lao and (3) to find guidelines for collaboration in management … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Mar 2011 · 8,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Sustainability into Teaching and Research at the University of the South Pacific to Enhance Capacity for the Sustainable Development of Pacific Island CountriesKanayathu C. Koshy, Aliti Koroi, Neil Netaf, Cresantia Koya-Vaka'utaProblem statement: Pacific Island countries have been recognised globally as a ‘special case for environment and Sustainable Development (SD)’ because of their extreme vulnerability to a host of both external and internal development challenges such as: Narrow range of resources, high population density, limited export volume, impacts of climate change and natural disasters, trade, ICT and globalisation pressures. As part … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2010 · 9,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiometric Correction of Multitemporal Satellite ImagerySeema Gore Biday, Udhav BhosleProblem statement: Repeated observation of a given area over time yields potential for many forms of change detection analysis. These repeated observations are confounded in terms of radiometric consistency due to changes in sensor calibration over time, differences in illumination, observation angles and variation in atmospheric effects. Also major problem with satellite images is that regions below clouds are not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHealth Impacts Estimation of Mineralogical and Chemical Characterization of Suspended Atmospheric Particles over the East DesertU. Ali Rahoma, Elsayed EmaraProblem statement: The small size fraction of aerosols, measured as PM10 and PM2.5, rather than the larger particles, is considered to be responsible for most of the health effects. Such particles have a relatively long residence time in the atmosphere and can therefore travel over long distances. Hence, a large portion of ambient concentrations of PM10 and in particular of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugarcane Response to Water-Deficit Stress during Early Growth on Organic and Sand SoilsDuli Zhao, Barry Glaz, Jack C. ComstockProblem statement: Approximately 20% of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is grown on sand soils in south Florida, USA. Sugarcane yields in the region linearly increased in last 33 years on organic (muck) soils, but not on sand soils. Water deficit during the formative growth phase on sand soils probably limits sugarcane yields. Approach: A greenhouse study was conducted in 2009 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStroke Motion Learning for a Humanoid Robotic Ping-Pong Player Using a Novel Motion Capture SystemC. H. Lai, T.I. James TsayProblem statement: Human ping-pong players determine the stroke trajectory according to their experience before the ball enters their court. However, to enable a humanoid robot to select the appropriate stroke motion based on skills learned from 3D motion, important patterns must be generated to simplify the complex 3D motion. Approach: This study developed an effective strategy for teaching ping-pong skills … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Predator Go for Size Selection or Preferential Toxic-Nontoxic Species Under Limited Resource?Joydeep Pal, S. Bhattacharya, J. ChattopadhyayProblem statement: Selectivity is common in predator-prey interaction but the selection mechanism is still unexplored and a debatable issue in modern theoretical and experimental ecology for numerous species across the globe. In present investigation we emphasized the hypothesis that the zooplankton is less inclined to opt the food based on size selectivity criteria than the preferential selectivity for the safe … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
