Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation into Waste Management on Construction Sites in South Western NigeriaO. O. Akinkurolere, S. O. FranklinThis study aims to report investigation into the problem of waste management on construction sites in South Western Nigeria and to unveil inherent dangers material wastage poses to the construction Industry. In the construction industries, materials are very vital in building sites, but not all the materials delivered are used for the purposes for which they have been ordered and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical Properties Analysis of Frictional Winding Mechanism with Bobbin Elastic SupportMohammed A. Alnawafleh, Faisal M. Al-GhathianA mathematical model of the Frictional Winding Mechanism (FWM) with bobbin elastic supports for a search of optimal structural and physical parameters for developing new and updating existing FWMs has been carried out. The model was derived from bobbin equipped with pendulum suspension for forming cylinder shaped packages. In the derivation method it was considered that the model corresponds the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,879 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Challenge of the Hospitals and Health Care Systems in Preparation for Biological and Chemical Terrorism AttackEldo Ermenegildo Frezza MDIn the present study a few aspects of planning for terrorism events that expose large numbers of people to contamination are discussed. Many issues were considered as an absolute requirement for implementation of NBC response: 1) policy, 2) plan and 3) emergency department response to surge capacity. Key elements of the healthcare facility response plan include prompt recognition of the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemi Strongly E-Convex FunctionsE. A. Youness, T. EmamIn this study a new class of functions, called semi strongly E-convex functions, and generalized semi strongly E-convex functions are defined .We discuss some their basic properties and obtain sufficient optimality criteria for nonlinear programming problems involving these functions. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a New Network-enabled Solver for the Assignment Problem in Computer-aided EducationAndreou Dimitrios, Paparrizos Konstantinos, Samaras Nikolaos, Sifaleras AngeloThis study present a new learning tool developed for the visualization of an algorithm for the assignment problem. We show how the teaching of an algorithm can be greatly enhanced and the tutor's effort decreased with a visualization tool that provides an interactive and animated view of the subject being taught to the students. This tool makes use of the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Reconfiguration of IP Domain Middleware Stacks to Support Multicast Multimedia Distribution in a Heterogeneous EnvironmentKevin Curran, Gerard ParrSeamless connectivity to multiple wireless networks independently of a fixed point is becoming increasingly important for mobile devices however wireless networks differ in bandwidth, size and access costs each requiring protocol functions to enable devices to communicate efficiently. In addition, due to the divergence of users and applications, traditional stacks are frequently enriched with additional functionality such as transport protocol … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Geosta Addition on Cement-stabilised Chicoco Mud of the Niger DeltaOlujide OmotoshoChicoco is a very soft and extremely compressible organic marine mud found extensively and to considerable depths within the saline tidal flat or mangrove swamp of the Niger delta in southern Nigeria. Natural chicoco is highly undesirable, barely able to support a human of average weight but air-dried chicoco has been used successfully by the indigeneous people for shore protection, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotovoltaic Technology of Electricity Generation for Desert CampingShafiqur Rehman, Ali A. Shash, Omar S. Baghabra Al-AmoudiThis study presents a case study on the utilization of global solar radiation data on horizontal surface to perform economical feasibility of using Photovoltaic (PV) panels with battery backup to meet a small load for a camping site in Saudi Arabia. The analysis considers three scenarios with daily average energy demands of: (i) full load, (ii) 75% load and (iii) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of (E) 10-Hydroxy-8-octadecenoic Acid with Lyophilized Microbial CellsA. Bódalo, J. Bastida, M.F. Máximo et al.Lyophilized non-proliferating microbial cells of Pseudomonas sp. 42A2 showed their ability to catalyze the bioconversion of oleic acid into (E)-10-hydroxy-8-octadecenoic acid (MHOD) and (E)- 7,10-dihydroxy-8-octadecenoic acid (DHOD). The reaction conditions were optimized in order to produce the maximum amount of MHOD. At 30°C and using phosphate buffer (0.1 M and pH=8), an initial substrate concentration of 10 mg mL-1 and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Modulation Scaling Scheme for Quality of Services Ensurance in Wireless Sensor NetwoksYong Yuan, Zongkai Yang, Jianhua HeEnergy consumption has been a key concern of data gathering in wireless sensor networks. Previous research works show that modulation scaling is an efficient technique to reduce energy consumption. However, such technique will also impact on both packet delivery latency and packet loss, therefore, may result in adverse effects on the qualities of applications. In this study, the problem of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
