Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Plant Density on Flowering Date, Yield and Quality Attribute of Bush Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) under Center Pivot Irrigation SystemSamih AbubakerThis research evaluates six different planting densities (10∗30, 20∗30, 30∗30, 40∗30, 50∗30, 60∗30) of bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.), Bronco variety and their impacts on yield, earliness and quality attributes using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) under central pivot irrigation system in the southern part of Jordan during 2007 growing season. Although, the highest planting density (10∗30 cm) gave the highest … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtension Mechanisms to Support Sustainable Agriculture in Iran ContextMohammad Sadegh AllahyariSustainable agriculture, as a managerial philosophy has risen to meet environmental, economic and social complications. Agricultural extension as a source of information plays an important role for the achievement of sustainable forms of agriculture. In fact, conventional extension system cannot accomplish sustainability in agriculture. The objective of the study was to identify the most appropriate mechanism to support dimensions and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformation Protection in Academic Campuses: A Scalable FrameworkD. S. Bhilare, A. K. Ramani, S. TanwaniProblem statement: Most institutions recognize the critical role that information security risk management plays in supporting their missions and objectives. Often, institutions do not pay enough attention towards assessing effectiveness of existing security measures. They are also unable to respond to new security threats in reasonable time. Furthermore, new laws are also forcing institutions to manage security risk more closely … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Survey of Protein Fold Recognition AlgorithmsMohammed Said Abual-Rub, Rosni AbdullahProblem statement: Predicting the tertiary structure of proteins from their linear sequence is really a big challenge in biology. This challenge is related to the fact that the traditional computational methods are not powerful enough to search for the correct structure in the huge conformational space. This inadequate capability of the computational methods, however, is a major obstacle in facing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistological Features and ki-67 Index In Cervical Atypical LesionsD. Cabibi, L. Giovannelli, M. Cacciatore et al.One of the most frequent challenges in routine diagnostic assessment of cervical biopsies consists of some lesions in which histological features of HPV infection are either inconsistently present or only mildly/focally evident. We named them Atypical Lesions (AL) because differential diagnosis with metaplastic/reactive lesions and LSIL is difficult. It would be important to identify among them those lesions that are … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Resource Synchronizer Mutual Exclusion Algorithm for Wired/Wireless Distributed SystemsAhmed Sharieh, Mariam Itriq, Wafa DbabatA mobile host has small memory, relatively slow processor, low power batteries, and communicate over low bandwidth wireless communication links. Existing mutual exclusion algorithms for distributed systems are not enough for mobile systems because of several limitations. In this study, a mutual exclusion algorithm that is more suitable for mobile computer systems is developed. The algorithm tends to minimize the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAppraisal of Thermal Properties of Mud in the Ariake Sea, JapanM. Azizul Moqsud, Shigenori Hayashi, Yan Jun Du, Daisuke SuetsuguIn order to explore the thermal properties of the Ariake Sea mud and to find out the affecting factors which affect these values, a portable thermal properties analyzer was used. Thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity of the mud samples collected from both the tidal flat and inside the deep sea were measured in the laboratory. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Transformation T+m Due Gray and ClarkKacem BelghabaWe determine the values of the integer m for which the parametric transformation T+m due Gray and Clark is well conditionned. This process of acceleration being quasilinear transformation, we use an adequate definition of the condition numbers that apply to the real sequences of linear convergence. The results obtained for this set are enough meaning …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,541 accessesView PDFCite
