Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeta Architecting: Towered a New Generation of Architecture Description LanguagesAdel Smeda, Tahar Khammaci, Mourad OussalahThe techniques of meta-modeling and meta-levels have become a mature concept and have been largely used to solve real problems in programming languages, distributed environments, knowledge representation, or data bases. In this article it is shown how the same techniques can be applied in component-based software architecture. It also shown the need to propose mechanisms of reflexivity within the domain … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple Antibiotic Resistances of Vibrio Isolates from Coastal and Brackish Water AreasS. Manjusha, G. B. Sarita, K. K. Elyas, M. ChandrasekaranAn experiment was designed to assess the occurrence of multiple antibiotic resistances in Vibrio spp. from different (brackish and marine) environments. Water samples from nine marine landing sites and two coastal inland aquaculture farms were screened for the Vibrio spp. and assessed their resistance to twenty-two different antibiotics, which are commonly encountered in the aquatic ecosystem. Tissue samples (shrimp, mussel … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChromium (III) Removal and Recovery from Tannery Wastewater by Precipitation ProcessAbass Esmaeili, Alireza Mesdaghi nia, Reza VazirinejadChromium (III) salts are the most widely used chemicals for tanning processes, but 60-70% of total chromium salts reacts with the hides. In the other word, about 30-40% of the chromium amount remains in the solids and liquid wastes (especially spent tanning solutions). Therefore, the removal and recovery of the chromium content of these wastewaters are necessary for environmental protection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 8,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification, Characterization and Quantification of Elastomeric/Plastomeric Waste for Sustainable Waste MinimizationKajal Yadav, Sangita, A. ChandraThe present study focuses on the importance of characterization of waste/post consumer polymers. In recent years sophisticated instrumental techniques played an important role in identification and characterization of polymers. Advances in computer techniques have been combined with analytical instruments to give analytical speed, resolution and minimal sample requirements unimagined a few years ago. The present study deals with the development … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndustrial Wastewater Treatment Using Local Natural Soil in Abu Dhabi, U.A.EH. A. Tayim, A. H. Al-YazouriLocal soil from the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirate is investigated for its efficiency in removing heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Eight different industrial water effluents from different industries were treated. Pb, Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn were removed from industrial wastewaters yielding treated water with heavy metal concentrations well below the maximum limits enforced by environmental protection … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSearching of Main Cause Leading to Severe Influenza A Virus Mutations and Consequently to Influenza Pandemics/EpidemicsGuang Wu, Shaomin YanThe unpredictable mutations in the proteins from influenza A virus lead to the great difficulty in prevention of possible outbreak of bird flu and pandemic/epidemic of influenza. This unpredictability is due to the fact that we know little about the causes that lead to the mutations. In three of our recent studies on the hemagglutinins from influenza A virus, we … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDelftia Acidovorans Bacteremia in an Intravenous Drug AbuserRocco J. Perla, Eric L. KnutsonDelftia acidovorans (Comamonas acidovorans) is an aerobic, non-fastidious, non-fermentative gram-negative bacillus classified in the Pseudomonas rRNA homology group III that is generally regarded as an environmental organism found in soil and water and as a non-pathogen. We report the first case of systemic D. acidovorans infection in a patient without a long-term immunosuppressive condition where D. acidovorans has been recovered … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,307 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation and Situation of Timber Harvesting Mechanization of Turkey and the Usage of Tractors in Timber ExtractionMurat Demir, Tolga OzturkIn this study is to summarize usage of tractors in timber extraction and major problems of mechanized timber harvesting in Turkey. Timber harvesting in Turkey is still carried out by manual methods due to economical, social and environmental constraints. Almost 80% of harvesting activities are mechanized in many developed countries while this value is only 5% in Turkey. Overall ratio … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,585 accessesView PDFCite
