Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhilosophical ProstitutionAmihud GileadProblem statement: This research was needed because some philosophers were subject to a form of blindness concerning prostitution. This blindness was caused mainly by a lack of philosophical insights. The context of the work was that valid arguments without such insights must be blind. In the case of prostitution, I termed such blindness a philosophical prostitution: First of all, this … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,307 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Information Technology of Slot-Switching Network Schemes for on All-Optical Variable-Length PacketSoung Yue Liew, Edward Sek Khin Wong, Choong Kwai FattProblem Statement: The purpose of this paper was to investigate all optical packet switching, because it was the key to the success of the future Internet. It can meet the stringent bandwidth requirement of future Internet applications, such as real-time video streaming. Due to the lack of optical Random Access Memory (RAM), however, the all-optical schemes studied in the literature … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulated Annealing with Deterministic DecisionsTaisir EldosProblem statement: Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithms have been used in solving a wide range of discrete optimization problems for many years, with well know drawbacks like the computational time and difficulties related to the parameters settings. One of the other issues that open the door for research is the acceptance decision that provides for hill climbing; the standard SA algorithms … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrade and Precaution: Their Progressive InterlaceIsh Puneet SinghProblem statement: The principle of precaution has developed in International Law, as it has been present in either explicit or implicit forms in most of the celebrated international treaties dealing with the protection of the environment, over the past two decades. In spite of the huge recognition that this principle has got through incorporation, in the international order, this principle … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Article 27(3) (b) of TRIPs-the Content and Implications of the IP Protection on Plant VarietiesPratyush JhunjhunwalaProblem statement: Introduction of Intellectual Property Protection (IPP) to plant varieties has gone through some rough weather with objections being made not only with respect to their introduction but also with the type of protection to be accorded to the new varieties. Article 27(3)(b) of the TRIPs Agreement contains a lot of flexibilities as it allows WTO member states to … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Culture, Policy and Traditional Knowledge to Improve Engagement in Science CoursesLawrence K. Duffy, Catherine Hurt Middlecamp, Anna Godduhn, Cindy E. FabbriProblem statement: In our undergraduate science courses, we need to engage students by including the current issues and concerns of our students as well as recognizing the place-based context in which they learn. Including culture, policy and traditional knowledge when it intersects with a chemical principle and a challenging real world issue adds concreteness to the scientific process. Approach: Science … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecretary IgA Concentrations and plasma Cell Count Changes Associated with the Estrous Cycle in EwesMorteta H. AL-Medhtiy, A. B.Z. Zuki, M. M. Noordin, S. AgungpriyonoProblems statement: The level of uterine Secretory-IgA (S-IgA) and numbers of plasma cells was measured to observe the differences between two stages of estrous cycle (follicular and luteal phase) in the healthy cycling non pregnant ewes. Approach: Twelve ewes were used in this study and they were divided into two groups of 6 animals each according to the stages of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,194 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 abstractAn Ethical Appraisal of Hormesis: Towards a Rational Discourse on the Acceptability of Risks and BenefitsOrtwin RennIt is ethically mandated that potential beneficial aspects of low exposure to potentially hazardous material are incorporated in the risk-benefit balancing procedure. The potential harm done by pollutants does not justify the invocation of a categorical principle. Minimisation of risk is not required if health benefits are also at stake. Society needs to find an informed consent on the threshold … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Design Strategy for Volumetric Efficiency Improvement in a Multi-cylinder Stationary Diesel Engine and its Validity under Transient Engine OperationP. Seenikannan, V.M. Periasamy, P. NagarajThis paper proposes an approach to improve engine performance of volumetric efficiency of a multi cylinder diesel engine. A computer simulation model is used to compare volumetric efficiency with instantaneous values. A baseline engine model is first correlated with measured volumetric efficiency data to establish confidence in the engine model's predictions. A derivative of the baseline model with exhaust manifold, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
