Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTree Based Test Case Generation and Cost Calculation Strategy for Uniform Parametric Pairwise TestingMohammad F.J. Klaib, Sangeetha Muthuraman, Noraziah Ahmad, Roslina SidekProblem statement: Although it is very important to test any system extensively it is usually too expensive to do so owing to the cost and the resources that are involved in it. Software testing is a very important phase of software development to ensure that the developed system is reliable. Some systematic approach for testing is essential to test any … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,343 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Effects of Drought and Salt Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Pennisetum divisum (Gmel.) Henr.Wafa’a A. Al-TaisanProblem statement: Water stress due to drought and salinity is probably the most significant abiotic factor limiting plant and also crop growth and development. Salinity and drought stresses are physiologically related, because both induce osmotic stress and most of the metabolic responses of the affected plants are similar to some extent. Water deficit affects the germination of seed and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 27,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Multi-Centroid Moment Invariants in Thermal-Based Face Identification SystemKhairul Hamimah Abas, Osamu OnoProblem statement: Current paramount methods and approaches in face identification field rely on facial characteristics; such as location of eyes, length of nose and mouth, regardless the type of medium used to acquire the facial images. The visibility of these facial characteristics varies significantly with environmental factors (e.g., lighting elements). Various researches have been devoted to develop methodologies for addressing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNatural Activities of 238U, 232Th and 40K in Manganese OreH. A. Abel-GhanyProblem statement: Manganese ore is widely used in much industries. Such as ore contain natural radioactive nuclides at various concentrations. If this ore contain high concentrations of natural radioactive nuclides, workers handling them might be exposed to significant levels of radiation. Therefore it is important to determine the radioactive nuclides in this ore. Approach: The natural radionuclides (238U, 232Th and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Nickel Exposure and the Level of Carcinoembryonic Antigen among Welders in an Automotive PlantChiang Lee Juan, Shamsul Bahri Mohd Tamrin, Syazwan Aizat Ismail et al.Background: Study on the effect of nickel exposure in the occupational setting and its association to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) had been studied before. Questions were raised whether the result from previous study would also show the same pattern of the urinary nickel concentration in this study. Objective: A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the association between urine nickel concentration … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,639 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSalicylic Acid Protects Nitrate Reductase Activity, Growth and Proline in Amaranth and Tomato Plants during Water DeficitC. E. Umebese, T. O. Olatimilehin, T. A. OgunsusiProblem statement: Seedlings of Amaranthus hybridus cv. NHAC-3 (large green, amaranth) and Lycopersicum esculentum cv. Roma (tomato) were subjected to 7 days water stress at Early Vegetative (EV), Late Vegetative (LV), Early Flowering (EF) and Late Flowering (LF) stages of growth to study the impact on leaf water potential (ψw), Nitrate Reductase Activity (NRA), growth (plant height, shoot and root … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 9,569 accessesView PDFCite
