Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighting Spatial Information in GIS for Copper Mining ExplorationFarhad Hosseinali, Ali Asghar AlesheikhExploration of new mines is vitally important for human life. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) can be effectively used in the gathering, weighting, analyzing and presenting spatial and attribute information to facilitate the mine exploration process. The success of mine exploration largely depends on: the identification of governing factors, the determination of their impacts and the selection of suitable models to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Password-Based Key Derivation Algorithm Using the KBRP MethodShakir M. Hussain, Hussein Al-BahadiliThis study presents a new efficient password-based strong key derivation algorithm using the key based random permutation the KBRP method. The algorithm consists of five steps, the first three steps are similar to those formed the KBRP method. The last two steps are added to derive a key and to ensure that the derived key has all the characteristics of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Approach to Compute Integral TransformsA. Adawi, F. AwawdehIntegral transforms find special applicability within scientific and mathematical disciplines. A powerful and efficient homotopy methodology in evaluating integrals arises in integral transforms was presented. The method depends on solving a related first order linear differential equation by homotopy analysis method HAM. The Laplace transform, Fourier transform and the moment generating function of the standard normal distribution were used as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,718 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectronic Energies in Delta Doped AlGaAs/GaAs HeterostucturesA. Meftah, H. Ajlani, A. Marzouki et al.The band bending of the potential at the AlGaAs/GaAs interface increases with the electrons concentration in the GaAs channel. This band bending is often ignored in the theoretical calculation of the electronic energies and a linear potential approximation was used. This led to imprecise energy values and occupied subband configurations. We have taken account of the band bending in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonparametric Analysis on System Availability: Confidence Bound and Power FunctionJau-Chuan Ke, Yunn-Kuang ChuIn this study we consider the steady-state availability, denoted A, of a system with distribution-free failure and repair time. In particular, we are interested in constructing a lower confidence bound and a testing framework for A. We first show that the natural estimator  of A, defined as the ratio of the failure time sample mean to the sum of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,696 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Discrete Time Markov Chain with Correlated Transition ProbabilitiesPeerayuth CharnsethikulThis study presents a computational procedure for analyzing statistics of steady state probabilities in a discrete time Markov chain with correlations among their transition probabilities. The proposed model simply uses the first order Taylor’s series expansion and statistical expected value properties to obtain the resulting linear matrix equations system. Computationally, the bottleneck is O(n4) but can be improved by distributed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreation of Tetracycline Regulatable Knockouts of ORFF Gene from the LD1 Locus of Leishmania donovaniBindu Sukumaran, Manju Jain, Peter J. Myler et al.The tetracycline repressor/operator system was adapted for use in Leishmania donovani. In order to investigate the possible importance and function of open reading frame F (ORFF) in Leishmania donovani strain AG83 that has a single copy of ORFF in the LD1 locus on chromosome 35, we have attempted to generate tetracycline regulatable single allele mutants of ORFF.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Determination of Buffering Capacity of Some Ruminant's Feedstuffs and their Cumulative Effects on TMR RationA. MoharreryTwo experiments have been conducted in order to investigate the buffering capacity of some ruminant's feedstuffs and their additivity to calculate ration buffering capacity as a tools for feed formulation. The first experiment was performed with different types (65 samples) of feedstuffs to determine the Buffering Capacity (BC) and Buffer Value Index (BVI). For investigation of cumulative effects of buffering … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
