Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHands-On Fire Extinguisher Training Apparatuses: Expert Evaluations of Two Propane Fire Simulators and Air-Pressurized Water ExtinguishersAwwad Dababneh, Abdul Jaleel Hamad Majeed, Rami H. FouadTwenty-two expert firefighting professionals were used in evaluating four methods for fire extinguisher hands-on training. Two different fire simulators were put into service along with two conditions for the fighting distance; keeping a distance of 2.44 m (8ft.) away from the base of the fire and having no restriction on getting closer to the fire. The fire simulators both utilized … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2017 · 7,660 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnt Colony Optimization Approaches in Wireless Sensor Network: Performance EvaluationHusna Jamal Abdul Nasir, Ku Ruhana Ku-Mahamud, Eiji KamiokaWireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been widely implemented in large sectors such as military, habitat, business, industrial, health and environment. WSN is part of a distributed system where elements such as routing, load balancing, energy efficiency, node localization, time synchronization, data aggregation and security need to be addressed to improve its efficiency, robustness, extendibility, applicability and reliability. Despite multiple approaches … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 24 Jun 2017 · 8,533 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Key Technology for Instant Sea Cucumber Processing through Fuzzy Evaluation and Response Surface MethodologyJianfeng Sun, Tianshu Yang, Qian Liu, Zhaoping SunThe original flavor of instant sea cucumber products can be retained and these products consequently show good market potential. In this study, the key processing technique for instant sea cucumber was optimized on the basis of single factor through Box-Behnken response surface test method by using collagen and polysaccharide contents and fuzzy mathematics sensory score as response values. Results showed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 23 Jun 2017 · 8,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransfer Function-Noise Modeling of the Dynamic Relationship between Botswana's Monthly Maximum Temperature and EvaporationOliver Moses, Edward Lungu, Bhagabat Prasad ParidaIn Botswana, the rate of evaporation over open water surfaces is high because the country is characterised by hot and semi arid climatic conditions. The purpose of the study is to investigate the correlation between Botswana's monthly maximum temperature and evaporation and between monthly maximum wind speed and evaporation, for the stations Gaborone, Francistown and Maun and to fit transfer … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2017 · 7,604 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling Pan Evaporation for Kuwait using Multiple Linear Regression and Time-Series TechniquesJaber AlmedeijThis study attempts to model evaporation for Kuwait under arid conditions by using a wide range of monthly evaporation data, varying from 0.1 to 40 mm/day, from January 1993 to July 2015. Owing to the reason that the well-known theoretical evaporation models presented in the literature have been justified for a much shorter data range, the paper adopts empirical approaches … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 8 Jun 2016 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleField Evaluation of Sugarcane Orange Rust for First Clonal Stage of the CP Cultivar Development ProgramDuli Zhao, R. Wayne Davidson, Miguel Baltazar, Jack C. ComstockConsistent development of high-yielding sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) cultivars with resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses is critical to commercial sugarcane production. Currently, orange rust (caused by Puccinia kuehnii E.J. Butler) is a big challenge for the sugarcane production in Florida, USA. A better understanding of sugarcane genotypic variability in response to orange rust disease … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2015 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
