Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Breeding Seasonality in Rusa Deer (Rusa timorensis) Stags via Serum Testosterone ProfilingWan Nor Fitri Wan Jaafar, Abd Wahid Haron, Rosnina Hj Yusoff et al.Breeding seasonality in mammals is influenced by the environmental changes and the endocrine response of the animals to that changes. Comprehension in breeding seasonality enables better reproductive management consequently maximizing the reproductive potential of the stags. Despite that, the study in breeding seasonality in Rusa deer (Rusa timorensis) is still scarce. Five healthy and matured stags were selected for this … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2017 · 8,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling 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 accessIn the abstractA Passive Opportunity for Improving Air Quality in the Schools Environment: A Real-World Scale TestingPierpaoli Mattia, Fava GabrieleCan passive technology effectively enhance the indoor air quality? To improve classroom indoor air quality, an increase in ventilation and/or air purifiers are often suggested. In this study, a short-term intervention was implemented and investigated to evaluate the effects of a passive adsorbent surface on the pollutant deposition velocity and to improve the overall classroom air quality. We found that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2016 · 7,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMODELING ISOSTERIC HEAT OF BANANA FOAM MAT USING NEURAL NETWORK APPROACHPreeda Prakotmak, Hataitep Wongsuwan, Somchart Soponronnarit, Somkiat PrachayawarakornInformation on the adsorption isotherm and the thermodynamic properties can assist in optimizing food processing operations such as drying, packaging and storage in the assessment of the quality of food. In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for modelling the water activity/Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH) of banana foam mat under a range of values of the Experimental … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 13 May 2014 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimatic Severity Victims of Upstream Water Piracy Strongly Evidencing Inland Water-depletion Caused Global Warming vis-a-vis CoolingMiah M. Adel, Mahmood R. Hossain, Saiyeeda F. HossainSince the 80’s, the northwestern and the southwestern parts of the tropical Bangladesh located in the downstream Ganges basin have been having summer temperature above 109°F and winter temperature as low as 37°F. Every year people, particularly, the infants die from heat-and cold-related diseases and hospitals become packed-up with the victims of severe climatic condition. The objective of this research … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2014 · 7,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPPLYING SEASONAL CLIMATE TRENDS TO AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN TANJUNG KARANG, MALAYSIAMohd Ekhwan Toriman, Lee Qiao Yun, Mohd Khairul Amri Kamarudin et al.The North West Selangor Integrated Agriculture Development Agency (NWS-IADA) is the most productive agricultural part in Selangor, Malaysia. This is partly because of the inherent high fertility of the soils and the moderate variable climate. However, with increasing global concern about climate impacts, this article examines relative importance of climate influences on the paddy production rate over 28 years (1980-2008). … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2014 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlobal Solar Radiation Studies Due to Sunshine Hours and Other Meteorological ParametersMfon David Umoh, Sunday O. Udo, Ye-Obong N. UdoakahMultiple linear regression models were developed to estimate the monthly daily Sunshine Hours using four parameters during a period of eleven years (1997-2007) for locations in South Eastern Nigeria. These locations include Uyo (Latitude 5°18'53.7"N), Calabar (Latitude 5°16'07.6"N), Port Harcourt (Latitude 4°56'26.2"N), Warri (Latitude 5°34'21.0"N), Enugu (Latitude 6°27'42.42"N), Owerri (Latitude 5°38'05.1"N). The parameters include Relative Humidity, Maximum and Minimum temperatures, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPartial Least Squares Regression Based Variables Selection for Water Level PredictionsNoraini Ibrahim, Antoni WibowoFloods are common phenomenon in the state of Kuala Krai, specifically in Kelantan-Malaysia. Every year, floods affecting biodiversity on this region and also causing property loss of this residential area. The residents in Kelantan always suffered from floods since the water overflows to the areas adjoining to the rivers, lakes or dams. Months, average monthly rainfall, temperature, relative humidity and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Apr 2013 · 6,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Climate Change Upon Winter RainfallNuman Shehadeh, Sabah AnanbehClimatic models that project the impact of climate change upon rainfall in the Eastern Mediterranean region predict that the negative impact will be more pronounced upon winter rainfall rather than Fall or Spring rainfall where instability conditions become more pronounced. Those models, also, predict that, due to the great geographical diversity, projected rainfall trends in the above region will show … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2013 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrying Characteristics of the Borneo Canarium odontophyllum (Dabai) FruitDayang Fredalina Basri, Ahmad Fudholi, Mohd Hafidz RuslanThe quality and shelf-life of an underutilized fruits are compromised by the conventional method of drying. We therefore proposed using hot-air chamber to develop the drying curves of Canarium odontophyllum (dabai) fruit. Present study provides evidence of the best mathematical model to demonstrate the drying characteristics of this indigenous fruit and thus, may generate or add to the existing database. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 5 Sep 2012 · 8,946 accessesView PDFCite
