Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Crude Oil and Spent Oil on Clarias garipinus: A Typical Marine FishA. M. Gbadebo, A. M. Taiwo, O. B. OlaProblem statement: Petroleum hydrocarbon and petroleum residue (i.e., spent oil) remains the foremost pollutants to the fish communities in various aquatic media-ponds, streams, rivers, creeks, coastal and marine environments through indiscriminate disposal of oil contaminated drilling muds, cutting and oil spillages. Approach: Also, the spent oil enters into aquatic media through run-off following unguided disposal. Both the petroleum hydrocarbon and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycete) Isolates and their Effects on Subterranean Termite Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)Pik-Kheng Hoe, Choon-Fah J. Bong, Kadir Jugah, Amartalingam RajanProblem statement: Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is a common termite pest found in oil palm plantation planted on peat. Currently, the control methods focus on using insecticides that lead to high cost and adverse effect to the environment. Approach: Biological control like the use of entomopathogens provides an alternative control method for termite infestation problem. However, several factors need to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 10,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Genetic Algorithm for the Segmentation of Known Touching ObjectsEdgar Scavino, Dzuraidah Abdul Wahab, Hassan Basri et al.Problem statement: Segmentation is the first and fundamental step in the process of computer vision and object classification. However, complicate or similar colour pattern add complexity to the segmentation of touching objects. The objective of this study was to develop a robust technique for the automatic segmentation and classification of touching plastic bottles, whose features were previously stored in a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach of Adaptive Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System Modeling in Laser Processing-A Graphical User Interface (GUI) BasedSivarao, Peter Brevern, N. S.M. El-TayebProblem statement: The power of Artificial Intelligent (AI) becomes more authoritative when the system is programmed to cater the need of complex applications. MATLAB 2007B, integrating artificial intelligent system and Graphical User Interface (GUI) has reduced researchers' fear-to-model factor due to unfamiliarity and phobia to produce program codes. Approach: In this study, how GUI was developed on Matlab to model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer-Aided Design Data Extraction Approach to Identify Product InformationMohamad Faizal Ab. Jabal, Mohd. Shafry Mohd. Rahim, Nur Zuraifah Syazrah Othman, Daut DamanProblem statement: Many approaches have been proposed in previous such as AUTOFEAT algorithm, feature recognition, Intelligent Feature Recognition Methodology (IFRM), a part recognition algorithm and graph theory-based approach in order to solve the integration issue between CAD and CAM. However, there is no direct connection from CAD database and machine database. Therefore, comparison among the approaches has been conducted because … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBorderline Personality Symptoms and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Risk in Alcohol and Other Drug Abusing Adolescent OffendersJessy G. Dévieux, Robert M. Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Problem statement: Incarcerated youth with borderline symptomatology represent a particularly at risk-population due to their enggement in risky behaviors. Five hundred twenty two adolescents were assessed for borderline symptomatology (MACI), engagement in risky behaviors and attitudes/knowledge. Approach:Adolescents were divided into two groups: low borderline (below the 60 scale score cutoff) and high borderline (subclinical and clinical range). Multivariate analyses were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Performance of Uncoated Tungsten Carbide Insert in End Milling Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al 4V through Work Piece PreheatingL. Turnad Ginta, Mohd Amri Lajis, A.K.M. Nurul AminProblem statement: Titanium alloys have been used widely in the aerospace, chemical and petroleum industry because of their high specific strength, fracture resistance and superior resistance to corrosion. Titanium alloys have a very high strength-to-weight ratio making them very suitable for aircraft engines and airframe manufacture. Approach: The use of titanium alloys as engine component materials is due to their … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,905 accessesView PDFCite
