Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParticle Swarm Optimization Approach for Optimal Design of Switched Reluctance MachineMahadevan Balaji, Vijayarajan KamarajProblem statement: Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are widely used in various applications due to their inherent simplicity and rugged construction In SRM, torque output and torque ripple are sensitive to stator and rotor pole arcs and their selection is a vital part of SRM design process. In this study Particle Swarm Optimization technique is proposed for determining optimum pole arc … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Efficiency of Trichoderma harzianum and Aneurinobacillus migulanus in the Control of Gladiolus Corm Rot in Soil-Less Culture SystemNosir Walid, McDonald Jim, Woodward SteveProblem statement: Gladiolus is cultivated commonly for cut flower production, frequently as a protected crop. The glasshouse or polytunnel environment, providing excellent conditions for flower production, also make conditions more favorable for disease to develop. Approach: The pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. gladioli causes wilt diseases in a wide range of economically important plants and can have devastating effects on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGermination Ecology of Rhanterium epapposum Oliv.Sameeha Zaman, Shyamala Padmesh, Harby TawfiqProblem statement: Rhanterium epapposum, locally called Arfaj is the national flower of Kuwait. The current situation of Rhanterium epapposum is quite critical in most areas of Kuwait. In fact it has completely disappeared from most parts of the country due to a combination of overgrazing, collecting for firewood and off road driving. Approach: Rhanterium epapposum is an excellent species for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,623 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorpus-Based Analysis on Cross-Domain Experiments in Classification-and-Ranking GenerationAida Mustapha, Md. Nasir Sulaiman, Ramlan Mahmod, Mohd. Hasan SelamatProblem statement: Overgeneration-and-ranking architecture works well in written language where sentence is the basic unit. However, in spoken language where utterance is the basic unit, the disadvantage becomes critical as spoken language also render intentions, hence short strings may be of equivalent impact. Approach: In classification-and-ranking, response was deliberately chosen from dialogue corpus rather than wholly generated, such that it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Oil Contamination on Geotechnical Properties of Basaltic Residual SoilZulfahmi Ali Rahman, Umar Hamzah, Mohd. Raihan Taha et al.Problem statement: Oil contamination due to accidental spillage or leakage brings hefty damage to the environments. It percolates steadily into subsurface environments and contaminates the soil and water system. Hydrocarbon contamination has not just affected the quality of the soil but will also alter the physical properties of oil-contaminated soil. Approach: This study presented the geotechnical properties of oil-contaminated soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 10,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMachine Translation of Noun Phrases from Arabic to English Using Transfer-Based ApproachOmar Shirko, Nazlia Omar, Haslina Arshad, Mohammed AlbaredProblem statement: Any Arabic to English Machine Translation (MT) system should be capable of dealing with word order which Arabic exhibits. This poses a significant challenge to MT due to the vast number of ways to express the same sentence in Arabic. The ordering features are very important and should be carefully applied to ensure the generation of sentence in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWireless Communication with a Microprocessor Based Ultrasonic Meter for Flow MeasurementsMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Although the traditional metering system and method for controlling flow is generally safe, reliable and robust, it does suffer certain drawbacks, such as limited accuracy and the ability to implement complex reactive rate designs. Hence, there is a need for a circuit and method of increasing metering accuracy, as well as the position control accuracy for variable flow … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Composition of Propolis from Different Regions in Java and their Cytotoxic ActivitySyamsudin, Sudjaswadi Wiryowidagdo, Partomuan Simanjuntak, Wan Lelly HeffenProblem statement: Propolis samples from tropical zones, such as Java (Indonesia) with its vast biodiversity, have become a subject of increasing scientific and economic attention. The association of the chemical composition of propolis from different geographic regions with cytotoxic activities lead to the identification of active principles, a fundamental tool to achieve standardization of this bee product. Approach: The purpose … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fragile Watermarking Scheme for Image Authentication with Tamper Localization Using Integer Wavelet TransformP. MeenakshiDevi, M. Venkatesan, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: In recent years, as digital media are gaining wider popularity, their security related issues are becoming greater concern. Method for authenticating and assuring the integrity of the image is required. Image authentication is possible by embedding a layer of the authentication signature into the digital image using a digital watermark. In some applications tamper localization is also required. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
