Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Variations of n-6: n-3 Ratios and Fatty Acid Compositions in Foot and Tissue of Chiton lamyi in a High Primary Productivity AreaNooshin Sajjadi, Peyman Eghtesadi-Araghi, Shahla Jamili et al.Problem statement: Fatty acid content and composition in mollusks is a function of their feeding diversity. Chabahar bay located in the northern part of Oman sea in Indian ocean provides high rates of primary productivity and a diverse food source for mollusks in this area. Identification of fatty acid compositions of Chiton lamyi and study their seasonal changes in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,195 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrimary Pollutants Monitoring and Modeling Using Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) Around Fahaheel Residential AreaS. M. Al-Salem, A. A. Al-Haddad, A. R. KhanFour major sources of air pollution were identified and modeled using Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) around a residential area. The sources were identified as MAA refinery, downtown area, upstream facilities and main highway road. The sources were analyzed using a series of concentration roses (unfiltered and filtered) executed from the data collected. Data collected included primary and secondary pollutants levels … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,742 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Analysis of Recent Changes in Relative Humidity in JordanAhmed A. Abu-Taleb, Ameen J. Alawneh, Mahmoud M. SmadiThis study examines recent changes in annual and seasonal relative humidity variations in Jordan. The analysis indicates an increasing trend in relative humidity at different stations. The analysis shows a significant increasing trend at Amman Airport Meteorological (AAM) station with a rate of increase 0.13% per year. These increasing trends are statistically significant during summer and autumn seasons. Finally, a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,503 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObserved Abrupt Changes in Minimum and Maximum Temperatures in Jordan in the 20th CenturyMahmoud M. SmadiThis study examines changes in annual and seasonal mean (minimum and maximum) temperatures variations in Jordan during the 20th century. The analyses focus on the time series records at the Amman Airport Meteorological (AAM) station. The occurrence of abrupt changes and trends were examined using cumulative sum charts (CUSUM) and bootstrapping and the Mann-Kendall rank test. Statistically significant abrupt changes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,925 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractWLHP Systems in Commercial Buildings: A Case Study Analysis Based on a Dynamic Simulation ApproachGiovanni Barone, Annamaria Buonomano, Cesare Forzano, Adolfo PalomboIn this study, the results of the performance analysis of a WLHP system applied to a large mall building located close to Naples (South Italy) is presented. The investigation was carried out through a purposely developed dynamic simulation model conceived for building-WLHP systems analyses. Through such computer tool, hourly, daily and seasonal system energy, economic and environmental assessments can obtained. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 26 Sep 2016 · 8,208 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Tourist Arrivals Using Time Series Analysis: Evidence From AustraliaGurudeo AnandTularam, Victor Siew Howe Wong, Seyed AbdelhamidShobeiriNejadAustralian tourism has a logistic trend as Butler’s model shows. The stagnation has not been reached so opportunities exist to increase tourism. The logistic model predicts 7.2 million tourists in 2015 but time series models of ARIMA and VAR improve the prediction and explain the data. The ARIMA (2, 2, 2) fits well while the VAR lead to Granger causalities … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 10 Sep 2012 · 7,857 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Analysis of How the Electrical Training Center Site is Affected by Air PollutionBassam A. Al-HelouThe study has come to the result that the monitoring site at the Electrical Training Centre (ETC) at Al-Hashimyeh town is exposed to grave pollution that goes beyond Jordanian standards of the ambient air. It has, indeed, shown that Sulfur dioxide (SO2) exceeds the limits and its seasonal concentration matches forward with the average wind speed. SO2 concentration reaches its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 3 Sep 2012 · 7,111 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation and Analysis of Output Gap: An Application of Structural Vector Autoregression and Hodrick-Prescott-FmethodsSaeed Dehghan Khavari, Seyed Hossein MirjaliliIn this study we examined output gap in the Iranian economy. The main question of the study is that how much is seasonal output gap in Iranian Economy and which factor affects gap variation. The other question is that whether using HP-F as a statistical based method for estimating output gap, provide different result than using SVAR as theory based … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,896 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract3-Unit System Comprising Two Types of Units with First Come First Served Repair Pattern Except When Both Types of Units are Waiting for RepairAmit Goyal, Gulshan Taneja, D. V. SinghProblem statement: In this study we investigated the probabilistic analysis of a three unit system working in a sugar Mill, wherein one unit is big and the other two units are small and identical, is examined. Upon failure of the big unit, both small units are made operative and failed unit is undertaken for repair immediately. Priority for operation is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,407 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Water Properties and Geostrophic Currents in Fiji Waters Before and After Tropical Cyclone GeneShivneel Prasad, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: Water properties influence ocean primary production and drive the ocean food chain. This study depicts changes in temperature and salinity and its effects on geostrophic currents near Fiji before and after Tropical Cyclone (TC) Gene.
