Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Innovative Farm Scale Biogas/Composting Facility for a Sustainable Medium Size Dairy FarmA.E. Ghaly, M. Al HattabApproach: The amount of energy related costs as a portion of the total farm operating cost can be as high as 29% and the continuing increase of the real cost of energy related farm input has been one of the major factors impacting the cost of agricultural production. However, agricultural has the potential of replacing some of the purchased energy … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2012 · 9,324 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Fuzzy Neural Approach for Medical Image RetrievalC. Sriramakrishnan, A. ShanmugamImage retrieval based on a query image is necessary for effective and efficient use the information that is stored in medical image databases. Medical Image Retrieval is difficult as not only the localization and directionality of human visual system is to be considered but also the pathological condition. Image identification and segmentation for feature extraction pose a challenge to image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 8 Sep 2012 · 6,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLipid Profile and Antioxidant Enzymes in Normal and Stressed Rat Fed with Palm OleinEqbal M.A. Dauqan, Aminah Abdullah, Halimah Abdullah SaniProblem statement: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of Red Palm Olein (RPO) and Palm Olein (PO) on lipid profile and antioxidant enzyme in normal and stressed rat. Approach: Thirty six Sprague Dawley male rats which were randomly divided into six groups of 6 rats per group (tree normal groups and three stressed groups) were treated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 18 May 2012 · 6,882 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordControl Strategy for Discontinuous Conduction Mode Boost Rectifier with Low Total Harmonic Distortion and Improved Dynamic ResponseH.S. AthabDue to its simplicity, the discontinuous conduction mode boost rectifier is potentially the least expensive active line-harmonics reducing circuit. Problem statement: The line current however, shows considerable distortion when the peak input voltage is close to the output voltage, As a result, the input power factor is poor. This study proposes a simple, low-cost method to reduce the line harmonics. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,424 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTotal SO2 Emissions from Power Stations and Evaluation of their Impact in Kuwait Using a Gaussian Plume Dispersion ModelA.A. Ramadan, M. Al-Sudairawi, S. Alhajraf, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, most of the power stations use fuel oil as the prime source of energy. The sulphur content (S%) of the fuel used as well as other factors have a direct impact on the ground level concentration of sulphur dioxide (SO2) released by power stations into the atmosphere. The SO2 ground level concentration has to meet the environmental standards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,857 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIn Vitro Biological Profiles and Chemical Contents of Ethanolic Nest Entrance Extracts of Thai Stingless Bees Tetrigona apicalisTouchkanin Jongjitvimol, Sathirapong Kraikongjit, Pussadee Paensuwan, Jirapas JongjitwimolTetrigona apicalis is a species of stingless bees found in Lower Northern Thailand. They normally construct their nest entrances as an external structure for protecting themselves from enemies. Their biological properties have not well characterized yet. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the antibacterial, antifungal and anti-proliferative activities of their nest entrances. Samples were collected from four provinces … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 2 Nov 2020 · 6,784 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDigital Simulation, Design, Comparitive Analysis of Intelligent Controllers in Adjustable Speed Drives for PQ EnhancementA. Srikrishnan, B. Justus RabiProblem statement: This study deals with the analysis, design and comparison between fuzzy and genetic based adjustable speed drives with respect to the parameters which determines the quality of power. Approach: ASD system using fuzzy controllers provide ride-through capability during voltage sags, reduces harmonics, improves power factor and is highly reliable, whereas by using genetic algorithm optimized ASD systems, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Nov 2011 · 7,019 accessesView PDF Cite
