Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhen is Inflation Harmful? Estimating the Threshold Effect for GhanaJoseph Magnus Frimpong, Eric Fosu Oteng-AbayieProblem statement: Is inflation harmful? At what level? For all countries, both developed and developing, one of the fundamental objectives of macroeconomic policy is macroeconomic stability. In Ghana monetary and fiscal policies are aimed at sustaining high economic growth rates together with low inflation (price stability). Approach: This study estimated the threshold effect of inflation in Ghana for the period … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Inositol on Growth, Feed Utilization and Blood Biochemical Parameters for Juvenile Barramundi (Lates calcarifer Bloch)Shi-Qiang Diao, Zhong Huang, Shui-Sheng Chen et al.Problem statement: The utilization of inositol was detected for growth performance and erum biochemical parameters of juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer). Approach: A 56 day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of inositol on growth, feed utilization and serum biochemical parameters for juvenile barramundi Lates calcarifer (initial size 5.51±0.07g). Six experimental fish meal-based isonitrogenous (42% crude protein) and isolipidic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Replacement of Soybean meal by Dried Tomato Pomace on Rumen Fermentation and Nitrogen Metabolism in Beef CattleC. Yuangklang, K. Vasupen, S. Wongsuthavas et al.Problem statement: Dried tomato pomace may be considered as an alternative feedstuff in ruminant nutrition. The limited literature data that are available so far may be interpreted as indirect and suggestive evidence for diminished ruminal fermentation and bacterial synthesis after substitution of dried tomato pomace for soybean meal. Approach: Rumen-fistulated beef steers were used to address the questions whether the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBheri-A Unique Example of Biological Complex SystemIndranil Mukherjee, Pranami Bhaumik, Madhusmita Mishra et al.Problem statement: This study is a unique attempt to characterize Bheri (shallow flat bottom waste water fed fishery) as a complex biological system. Approach: The characterization was done both at the qualitative and the quantitative levels. The diverse microbial community and the associated emergent behaviors resulting in integrated resource recovery by the Bheris were analyzed under the lens of complexity … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Gene Expression in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Following Exposure to Gaseous Diffusion Plant Effluent and Effluent Receiving Stream WaterBen F. Brammell, Andrew J. WiggintonProblem statement: The expression of six genes known to serve as bioindicators of environmental stress were examined using real-time quantitative PCR in liver tissue extracted from zebrafish (Danio rerio, Hamilton) exposed to effluent and effluent containing stream water associated with the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP). Approach: The PGDP, the only active uranium enrichment facility in the US, is located … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWave Characteristics in Sabah WatersEjria Saleh, Jessie Beliku, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: This study was conducted to identify and compare the wave characteristics in Sabah waters at five different key locations so as to determine the effects of the Northeast Monsoon (NEM) and the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) along the east and west coasts of Sabah. Approach: Monthly wave height and wave period data for 8 years covering offshore areas of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,749 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Biodiesel by Enzymatic Transesterification: ReviewA.E. Ghaly, D. Dave, M.S. Brooks, S. BudgeProblem Statement: The research on the production of biodiesel has increased significantly in recent years because of the need for an alternative fuel which endows with biodegradability, low toxicity and renewability. Plant oils, animal fats, microalgal oils and waste products such as animal rendering, fish processing waste and cooking oils have been employed as feedstocks for biodiesel production. In order … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 21,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Supplemental Lysine and Methionine on Growth Performance and Body Composition for Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)Hui Jun Yang, Yong Jian Liu, Li Xia Tian et al.Problem statement: The utilization of crystalline amino acids was detected for growth performance and body composition of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Approach: L-Lysine sulphate and Methionine Hydroxy Analog-Ca (MHA-Ca) were selected for determination. Two diets were formulated with or without amino acids supplementation. Each diet was assigned to 10 tanks in a completely randomized design for 8 weeks. Results: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Feeding Strategy and Carbohydrate Source on Carbohydrate Utilization by Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)L.X. Tian, Y.J. Liu, S.S.O. Hung et al.Problem statement: Feeding strategy is the important factor in aquaculture. Feeding strategy not only could affect the growth performance of grass carp and feed efficiency, but also could affect the quality and environment of water resource. We have proved that glucose was more suitable than starch as the carbohydrate source for grass carp under the restricted feeding frequency. While different … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Cycocel and Irrigation Regimes on Some Physiological Parameters of Three Olive CultivarsMaisam Nejadsahebi, Noorollah Moallemi, Ahmad LandiProblem statement: The water deficiency is one of the serious problems, in the arid zones. Cycocel by increasing the stomata resistance and decreasing transpiration can help to water use efficiency.
