Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulticultural Upper Secondary School Life in Denmark: Identifications, Solidarity and CitizenshipYvonne MørckEducation has played an important role in the development of the Nordic welfare states. As in other European countries, present day Denmark wrestles with the problem of finding ways to handle the increased diversity of its population in terms of, for instance, ethnicity, religion and language. Hence, negotiations and contestations about how to operationalize different forms of multiculturalism on all … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards Two-tier Universalism? A Discussion of the Welfare PrincipleCatharina Juul KristensenIn this study the common political discourse on the ‘challenge of immigration’ to the Danish welfare state is turned on its head. Instead of focusing on the costs and difficulties of immigration, the focus is first upon the challenge that recent policies on immigration and integration constitute to the principle of universalism; and second upon the ability of the principle … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Variation and Relationship Between Turkish Flint Maize Landraces by RAPD MarkersA. OkumusA comparative characterization of 17 flint maize landraces (Zea mays L.) was carried out using RAPD markers. Fourteen primers giving reliable and consistent polymorphic bands amplified 125 fragments (89%) with an average of 8.90 fragment per primer. Genetic variation in 17 maize landraces was characterized based on dissimilarity matrix by UPGMA dendogram which has no association into distinct grouping with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,977 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoftware Process Modeling Using Role and CoordinationAtil Fadila, Ghoul Said, Bounour NoraThe term software process joins all activities that have to be achieved in order to develop software. It has been shown that modeling such processes is difficult and expensive task. It's confirmed by diversity of software processes modeling approaches which are however, not satisfactory. This study deals with an area of growing importance and presents a role- and coordination- based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Presence of Cascading Effect in the Key Expansion Mechanism of Rijndael-The AESY. Talwar, C.E. Veni Madhavan, Navin RajpalRijndael-The AES is 128-bit block cipher based on an elegant algebraic structure over F28. This cipher employs a simple approach to its substitution, permutation (SP) operations. We take a close look on the Key Expansion Mechanism of Rijndael - The AES. This study highlights on the presence of the cascading effect in its key expansion mechanism. Thus, lowering the brute-force … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Maintenance Scheduler for Near Optimum Utilization of Oil TanksFawaz S. Al-Anzi, Khaled Al-ZamelDue to the entry of Kuwait into WTO and the expected liberalization of petroleum management, the oil market is to become more competitive. However, the space limitation and public increasing awareness of environmental protection issues and stricter regulation passed by Environmental Public Authority (EPA) in Kuwait make the need for full utilization of oil tanks a prime requirement of a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandom Amplified Polymorphic Dna-PCR Typing of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Isolated from Local Cockles (Anadara granosa)Lesley Maurice Bilung, Son Radu, Abdul Rani Bahaman et al.Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used in this study to examine the genetic relatedness among the Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains. In the analysis by RAPD-PCR, the size for RAPD fragments ranged from 0.25 to 10.0 kb with average number of ten bands. The RAPD profiles revealed a high level of DNA sequence diversity within the Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains tested. Hence, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 8,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVegetation Dynamics in the Tafileh Woodlands of Southern JordanSaleh Al-Qura'nWoodland vegetation in the Tafileh highlands of southern Jordan was investigated and quantitatively surveyed to determine the patterns of vegetation dynamics associated with altitude and topography. Three tree species (Juniperus phoenicea L. (evergreen needle-leaved woodland resistant to cold), Pistacia atlantica Desf. and Quercus aegilps L. (cold-deciduos broad-leaved woodland) and five shrubs (Colutea istria Miller, Gomphocarpus sinaicus R. Br., Thymelaea hirsute … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,929 accessesView PDFCite
