Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDead Sea Rate of EvaporationAbdelaziz L. AL-KhlaifatThe Dead Sea is exceptional by many standards. It is the saltiest and lowest lake in the world. Moreover it is a closed lake with very large variations in its water level caused by both man-made and natural oscillations of the components that make up the water balance. Most of the fundamental studies on the Dead Sea focused on the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimplified Block Matching Algorithm for Fast Motion Estimation in Video CompressionM. Ezhilarasan, P. ThambiduraiBlock matching motion estimation was one of the most important modules in the design of any video encoder. It consumed more than 85% of video encoding time due to searching of a candidate block in the search window of the reference frame. To minimize the search time on block matching, a simplified and efficient Block Matching Algorithm for Fast Motion … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA screen for Benzo(a)pyrene in Fish Samples From Crude Oil Polluted EnvironmentsChimezie Anyakora, Mohsen Arbabi, Herbert CokerSeveral studies have shown that exposure to Benzo(a)pyrene increases the risk of cancer. In this study several fish samples from Niger the Delta region of Nigeria were screened for the presence of Benzo(a)pyrene. The study was carried out using Gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometry detector. Benzo(a)pyrenes in the samples were identified through both retention time match with authentic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Study of Power Control Radio Resource Management Over WLANsZ. I. Dafalla, M. B.R. MurthyWireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) based on IEEE 802.11 standard have been rapidly growing. With limitations of the WLAN standard and rapid increase in wireless application demand, the air interface acts as bottleneck even in high-speed WLAN standards such as IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g with expected data transmission rates of up to 54 Mbps. To improve the overall performance of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
