Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals and Anion Levels in Some Samples of Vegetable Grown Within the Vicinity of Challawa Industrial Area, Kano State, NigeriaJ. C. Akan, F. I.A. Abdulrahman, V. O. Ogugbuaja, J. T. AyodeleProblem section: Effluents from the surrounding industries such as tannery and textile are used by vegetable farmers for the irrigation of their crops. These effluents may contain some toxic metals which bioaccumulate along the food chain. Moreover the uptake of such toxic metals by crops is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such crops may accumulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of the Nasal Speculum for Rat Endotracheal IntubationKhaled R. Alzaben, Sami A. Abu-Halaweh, Abdel Karim S. Aloweidi et al.One hundred and fifty athymic nude (rnu/rnu) rats were intubated by direct visualizion of the larynx using a nasal speculum with an attached otoscope as a light source. A blunt, plastic covered stylet was introduced between the vocal cords as guide for a 16-gauge intravenous catheter which was used as an endotracheal tube. Successful intubation was performed in 148 out … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Accuracy and Coverage of Data Mining Systems that are Built from Noisy Datasets: A New ModelLuai A. Al ShalabiProblem statement: Noise within datasets has to be dealt with under most circumstances. This noise includes misclassified data or information as well as missing data or information. Simple human error is considered as misclassification. These errors will decrease the accuracy of the data mining system so it will not be likely to be used. The objective was to propose an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Steganography by Mapping Pixels to LettersMohammed A.F. Al-HusainyProblem statement: Steganography hides the very existence of a message so that if successful it generally attracts no suspicion at all. Using steganography, information can be hidden in carriers such as images, audio files, text files, videos and data transmissions. In this study, we proposed a new framework of an image steganography system to hide a digital text of a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDNA Code Word Design for DNA Computing with Real-Time Polymerase Chain ReactionMuhammad Faiz Mohamed Saaid, Zuwairie Ibrahim, Mohamad Shukri Zainal Abidin et al.Problem statement: A number of DNA computing models to solve mathematical graph problem such as the Hamiltonian Path Problem (HPP), Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), and the Shortest Path Problem (SPP), have been proposed and demonstrated. Normally, the DNA sequences used for the computation should be critically designed in order to reduce error that could occur during a computation. We have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Technical Review of Compressed Natural Gas as an Alternative Fuel for Internal Combustion EnginesSemin, Rosli Abu BakarNatural gas is promising alternative fuel to meet strict engine emission regulations in many countries. Compressed natural gas (CNG) has long been used in stationary engines, but the application of CNG as a transport engines fuel has been considerably advanced over the last decade by the development of lightweight high-pressure storage cylinders. Engine conversion technology is well established and suitable … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 17,475 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConvolution Coder Software Implementation Using VIiterbi Decoding AlgorithmO. O. Khalifa, T. Al-maznaee, M. Munjid, A. H.A. HashimIn this study, Convolutional coder software implementation using Viterbi decoding algorithm for bitstream that had been encoded using forward error correction was presented. It discussed the detailed description and steps involved in simulating a communication channel using convolutional encoding with Viterbi decoding. The steps involved generating random binary data, convolutionally encoding the data, passing the encoded data through a noisy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,747 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering Properties of Locally Manufactured Burnt Brick Pavers for Agrarian and Rural Earth RoadsEmmanuel Akintunde OkunadeThis study explored the possibility of employing burnt bricks produced locally by completely traditional methods as pavers on unpaved agrarian and rural earth roads in indigent communities. The pavers would eliminate the problems on such roads of being waterlogged and impassible during the rainy season months and those of environmental and health hazards from raised dust during the dry season … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Logic of Populist Discourse and its Cultural Frame in Korea: An Analysis of the Former President Roh Moo-Hyun's Reformist RhetoricManwoo LeeThis study was conducted to explain the discursive logic of populist politics and its cultural background in the former president Roh's Korean Government. It was divided into two parts of research results. In the first part, I articulated a reading of former Korean president Roh's discourses focusing on the populist dimensions of his rhetoric. His discourse was organized according to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Serviceability Considerations of HSC Heavily Steel Reinforced Members under BendingAli Akbar Maghsoudi, Yasser SharifiTo investigate the serviceability conditions of High Strength Concrete (HSC) beams, the total number of 6 beams (L = 2 m, b = 0.2 m, h = 0.3 m) heavily reinforced with different ratios of ρ and ρ' were cast and tested under bending load. During the test the concrete and steel strains, deflection and crack width are measured at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
