Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Entomopathogenic Fungi as Biopesticides to Manage Insect Pest: A ReviewAnthony Emaru, Jane Gesimba Nyaanga, Saidi MwanarusiEntomopathogenic Fungi (EPF) biopesticides are more environmentally friendly and are an alternative to toxic synthetic chemicals. Due to EPF's pathogenic nature to various arthropod pests, it is thus considered a primary candidate for an integrated biological approach due to its numerous invaluable effects. However, an urgent need is to develop an environmentally safer, more sustainable, and practical approach to managing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 12 Jul 2024 · 8,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAltered Reproduction in Clarias gariepinus Exposed to Industrial EffluentsAdeogun Aina Olubukola, Chukwuka Azubuike VictorProblem statement: Reproductive success is a key factor in determining species survival and the unregulated discharge of industrial effluents into rivers and streams in a developing country like Nigeria, can impair reproductive ability in non-target organisms like fish. Fish, generally accumulate contaminants from their environment in their tissues and these can be transmitted through the yolk lipids to the eggs. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioDARA: Data Summarization Approach to Extracting Bio-Medical Structuring InformationChung Seng Kheau, Rayner Alfred, Joe Henry ObitProblem statement: Due to the ever growing amount of biomedical datasets stored in multiple tables, Information Extraction (IE) from these datasets is increasingly recognized as one of the crucial technologies in bioinformatics. However, for IE to be practically applicable, adaptability of a system is crucial, considering extremely diverse demands in biomedical IE application. One should be able to extract a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2011 · 7,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Modeling of Transient Temperatures in a Small-Caliber ProjectileM. Brian Thomas, Leon DozierProblem statement: Future generations of intelligent munitions will use Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) for guidance, fuzing logic and assessment of the battlefield environment. The temperatures fund in a gun system, however, are sufficient to damage some materials used in the fabrication of MEMS. The motivation of this study is to model the dynamic temperature distribution in a typical small-caliber projectile. Approach: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Analysis of the Risk Factors of the Major Epidemic Disease Among Residents of Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis (STMA)A. J. Turkson, X. J. WangProblem statement: This study focused on statistical analysis of risk factors of the major disease among residents of STMA. The objectives of the study were to find the predominant diseases affecting residents in the catchments area. The study was also meant to identify risk factors associated with the incidence of the predominant disease. Approach: Purposive sampling technique was used to … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mobile Robot Path Planning Using Genetic Algorithm in Static EnvironmentIsmail AL-Taharwa, Alaa Sheta, Mohammed Al-WeshahIn this study we present our initial idea for using genetic algorithms to help a controllable mobile robot to find an optimal path between a starting and ending point in a grid environment. The mobile robot has to find the optimal path which reduces the number of steps to be taken between the starting point and the target ending point. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 20,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards Persistence Framework-Based Rapid Application Development Toolkit for Web Application DevelopmentChoon H. Choo, Sai P. LeeSoftware systems must be delivered quickly in order to respond to today's rapid changing business environments. Persistence framework was introduced to overcome the problem of object-relational impedance mismatch, occurred in most enterprise applications that need access to a relational database. However, most of these persistence frameworks are difficult to configure and use, thus do not really contribute much to the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInverse Kinematics (IK) Solution of a Robotic Manipulator using PYTHONR. Venkata Neeraj Kumar, R. SreenivasuluPresent global engineering professionals feels that, robotics is a somewhat young field with extremely ruthless target, the crucial one being the making of machinery/equipment that can perform and feel like human beings. Robot kinematics deals with the study of motion of linkages which includes displacement, velocities and accelerations of a robot manipulator analytically. Deriving the proper kinematic models for an … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 10 Sep 2019 · 13,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simulation Study of Enhanced Distillation Using Ultrasound Waves for the Separation of Azeotropic MixturesTaha Mahdi, Ammar Emad Al-KawazThe potential of ultrasound waves to enhance distillation system for azeotropic mixture is examined through process flowsheeting using Aspen Plus. Since sonication is not a standard feature in the software library, a mathematical model of the proposed distillation system is developed based on first principles in Aspen Custom Modeler and later exported to Aspen Plus environment for process simulation and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2018 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite
