Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Gate to Gate Assessment of Environmental Performance for Production of Crude Palm Kernel Oil Using Life Cycle Assessment ApproachS. Vijaya, A. N. Ma, Y. M. ChooProblem statement: The oil palm industry is an export orientated industry which heavily relies on the world market. In 2007 alone the total export earnings reached RM 45.1 billion. It is essential that the oil palm industry is ready to meet the higher expectation of its overseas customers on the environmental performance of the industry. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibitory Effect of Ginger Extract on Candida albicansZahra Atai, Manijeh Atapour, Maryam MohseniProblem statement:The fungal infections could be life-threatening in immunocompromised patients. Candida albicans is the most frequent fungi in the oral cavity. Approach: The first step for treatment could be done using topical antifungal agents. Nystatine is a choice for mentioned usage but there are some problems in its using including: unfavorite taste, frequency of usage, etc. Finding better replacements is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLife Long Learning: Seniors in Second Life ContinuumC. D. Seals, W. Moses, J. Nyagwencha et al.Senior citizens represented the fastest growing demographic worldwide. As indicated in the Year 2000 US Census, there were 35 million people 65 or older in the US and by 2030, it was estimated that there were about 70 million older adults in the US alone. With the older population growing rapidly and being increasingly exposed to computers and technology, it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands via Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Tabu SearchZ. Ismail, IrhamahThis study considers a version of the stochastic vehicle routing problem where customer demands are random variables with known probability distribution. A new scheme based on a hybrid GA and Tabu Search heuristic is proposed for this problem under a priori approach with preventive restocking. The relative performance of the proposed HGATS is compared to each GA and TS alone, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Performance of the Milling Process Of Malaysian Palm Oil Using The Life Cycle Assessment ApproachVijaya Subramaniam, Ma An Ngan, Choo Yuen May, Nik Meriam Nik SulaimanMalaysia is currently the world leader in the production and export of palm oil. This study has a gate to gate system boundary. The inventory data collection starts at the oil palm fresh fruit bunch hoppers when the fresh fruit bunch is received at the mill up till the production of the crude palm oil in the storage tanks at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArithmetic Encoding Based Dynamic Source Routing for Ad-Hoc NetworksAjay Koul, R. B. Patel, V. K. BhatAn ad hoc network is a collection of mobile stations forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized coordinator. Routing messages are an essential component of Mobile Adhoc Networks, as each packet needs to be passed quickly through intermediate nodes from source to destination. Internal threats due to changes in the node behaviour that target the routing discovery … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,604 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Filtering Algorithm for Duplicate Document Based on Concept AnalysisAhmad M. HasnahData bases and web pages contain currently a huge number of duplicate document. It is then fundamental to have a filter which can be embedded, for instance, within an information retrieval system like a search engine in order to prohibit the redundant documents references to appear on the screen as a reply to the user's query. This filter can save … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmpirical Analysis and Mathematical Representation of the Path Length Complexity in Binary Decision DiagramsA. Assi, P. W.C. Prasad, B. Mills, A. ElchouemiInformation about the distribution of path-lengths in a Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) representing Boolean functions is useful in determining the speed of hardware and software implementations of the circuit represented by these Boolean functions. This study presents expressions produced from an empirical analysis of a representative collection of Boolean functions. The Average Path Length (APL) and the Shortest Path Length … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrigin and Trend of Distance Education in UgandaBbuye Juliana, Mango M. JohnDistance education has been in existence in Uganda since the 1960s, and it has grown steadily since that time. It is however a neglected area in terms of data collection and research. The courses that were running between 1960 and 1980s have scanty documentation. What can be traced include the upgrading course for teachers which upgraded 1000 teachers from vernacular … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
