Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance of the Red-Stripe Weevil Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Meridic DietsChoon-Fah J. Bong, Chin-Chin Er, Pang-Hung Yiu, Amartalingam RajanBiology and growth performance of Red Stripe Weevil, Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. were studied using meridic diets. The diets consisted of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) bagasse, copra (Cocos nucifera L.) cake and sago (Metroxylon sagus Rottb.) flour as main ingredients. Larvae or locally known as sagoworm, in copra cake diet exhibited the fastest growth with maximum weight gain of 1609 mg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,134 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. Leishmania cells expressing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Metoprolol and Felodipine in Binary Mixture Using Chemometric-Assisted Spectrophotometric and High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic-UV MethodsHesham Salem, Ola M. AbdallahFour methods were developed for simultaneous determination of metoprolol and felodipine without previous separation. In the first method both drugs were determined using first derivative UV spectrophotometry, with zero crossing measurement at 222 and 235 nm for metoprolol and felodipine, respectively. The second method depends on first derivative of the ratios spectra by measurements of the amplitudes at 250.1 nm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Modeling Approach for Collision Avoidance in Robotic SurgeryReza Ramezanifard, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheWe present a new system that can be used in combination with an array of ultrasonic piezoelectric sensors and has application in surgical navigation procedures. Using the proposed assembly, the maneuverability of the surgical tools can be enhanced and the incidence of potentially damaging contact with non-target tissue can be reduced. The emphasis of our work was based on controlling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Student-Centered Learning ModelMihyar Hesson, Kaneez Fatima ShadBased on the authors experience in applying different approaches of active learning and student-centered teaching, the main problem that prevented the achievement of the full advantages of these approaches is the lack of motivation of students for self-centered learning. A new model for a student-centered learning is presented in this work. This model is of teaching integrative thinking, based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Object Fragmentation and Replication Algorithm In Distributed Database SystemsAzzam Sleit, Wesam AlMobaideen, Samih Al-Areqi, Abdulaziz YahyaThis paper proposes an enhancement for the ADRW algorithm to achieve dynamic fragmentation and object allocation in distributed databases. The algorithm adapts to the changing patterns of object requests with the objective to dynamically adjust the allocation schemes of objects in order to minimize the total servicing cost of all requests. Objects may be replicated or fragmented depending on patterns … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhat Characterises the Nordic Welfare State ModelBent GreveThis article presents the main distinctive characteristics of the Nordic welfare states. These include, for example, full employment, high degree of equality, a high level of taxes and a high level of public spending on welfare. The article further presents data, which enables the reader to a comparison with welfare states in Europe and to analyse whether we are witnessing … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 17,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation and Recognition of Handwritten Numeric ChainsSalim Ouchtati, Mouldi Bedda, Abderrazak LachouriAutomatic reading of numeric chains has been attempted in several application areas such as bank cheque processing, postal code recognition and form processing. Such applications have been very popular in handwriting recognition research, due to the possibility to reduce considerably the manual effort involved in these tasks. In this study we propose an off line system for the recognition of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,636 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Main Methods for Utility Sharing in Joint Business: A DiscussionRafel Amer, Francesc Carreras, Antonio MagañaOne of the main purposes of any theory of joint business is to provide a convincing way for sharing the total utility available to the set of agents. The proportional rule is widely applied in practice but people using this method should be warned that it is not as innocent, effective, fair and consistent as it seems at first glance. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Diloxanide Furoate and Metronidazole in Binary Mixture Using First Derivative of the Ratio-Spectra and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-UV MethodsNora H. Al-ShaalanTwo methods are presented for simultaneous determination of diloxanide furoate and metronidazole. The first method depends on first derivative of the ratio-spectra by measurements of the amplitudes at 242.5 and 285.5 nm for diloxanide furoate and 225.5 and 300 nm for metrinidazole. Calibration graphs were established for 2-100 μg mL-1 for diloxanide furoate and 1-50 μg mL-1 for metronidazole.
