Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum) GermplasmHari Shanker Acharya, Vimal SharmaProblem statement: The medicinal value of opium poppy (2n = 22, Papaver somniferum L.) is due to presence of more than two dozen alkaloids. The genetic origin and diversity of cultivars used in the breeding collection is not fully known. To evaluate the genetic diversity of the 24 germplasm currently cultivated in the state to provide genetic information about heterogeneity, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputable General Equilibrium Techniques for Carbon Tax ModelingAl-Amin, Chamhuri Siwar, Abdul HamidProblem statement: Lacking of proper environmental models environmental pollution is now a solemn problem in many developing countries particularly in Malaysia. Some empirical studies of worldwide reveal that imposition of a carbon tax significantly decreases carbon emissions and does not dramatically reduce economic growth. To our knowledge there has not been any research done to simulate the economic impact of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,954 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo-Versions of Conjugate Gradient-Algorithms Based on Conjugacy Conditions for Unconstrained OptimizationAbbas Y. AL-Bayati, A.J. Salim, Khalel K. AbboProblem statement: (CG) algorithms, which we had investigated in this study, were widely used in optimization, especially for large scale optimization problems, because it did not need the storage of any matrix. The purpose of this construction was to find new CG-algorithms suitable for solving large scale optimization problems. Approach: Based on pure conjugacy condition and quadratic convex function two … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Probability of 2-within-Consecutive-(2, 2)-out-of-(n, m): F System for Special Values of mE. M.E.L. SayedProblem statements: In this research, the researcher aimed to discuses the system failure probability of the model 2-within-consecutive (2, 2) out of (n, m) system for special values of m. Approach: The basic idea for evaluating the failure probability was the usage of the number of configuration of k (k = 2, 3, 4) parallel columns each contained n components … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,469 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Information Overload on Brazilian E-ConsumersRafael Lucian, Salomão Alencar de FariasProblem statement: E-commerce is a reality; Companies must consider this media as an important trade channel without distances between products and consumers. A key issue of e-commerce is how companies are disclosing information to its customers. This study aims to measure if there is relationship between the information overload in the virtual environment and the response of satisfaction and confusion … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANN Based Prediction of Effect of Reinforcements on Abrasive Wear Loss and Hardness in a Hybrid MMCP. Sathyabalan, V. Selladurai, P. SakthivelProblem statement: The reinforcements added to an alloy lead to variation in properties. The content and size of the reinforcement influences the properties of composites. Very little research has been carried out in hybrid composites. Work on hybrid LM6 aluminium alloy metal matrix composites (MMC) with flyash and SiC has been initiated here. The effect of the four parameters, size … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Strongly Coupled Linear Elliptic Systems with Application to Otolith Membrane DistortionI.K. YoussefProblem Statement: In this research, the author discussed the problems associated with the approximation of the mixed derivative terms appearing in strongly coupled linear elliptic systems by the finite difference method over irregular domains. To avoid the appearance of mixed derivative terms the author introduced a reformulation for the system through introducing a new dependent variable which adds one supplementary … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,718 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Protein 3D Structure Prediction Accuracy using Dense Regions Areas of Secondary Structures in the Contact MapAmer F. Al-Badarneh, Mohammad A. Khalil, Mo'taz A. Al-HamiProblem Statement: The protein folding problem is a fundamental problem in structural molecular biology. This problem describes how a protein is transformed from its primary sequence (i.e., amino acid sequence) into the three dimensional structure (3D structure) for this sequence that determines the function of the protein. The 3D structure of a protein can be represented using a square symmetrical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Simulation of Projects with Petri NetsS. Kumanan, K. RajaTraditional project management tools and other revised tools are limited in representation of the problem and in dealing situation dynamically. This paper details the use of Petri nets as a graphical and mathematical modeling and simulation tool in project management. In this context, the benefits of Petri nets are indicated. A Petri net aided software, a PETRI-PM is developed to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemistry of Sediment in the Major Estuarine Mangrove Forest of Terengganu Region, MalaysiaB.Y. Kamaruzzaman, M.C. Ong, M.S.Noor Azhar et al.Surface sediments collected from seven estuarine mangrove forests of Terengganu region (100 sampling points) were anaylzed for Pb, Cu and Zn using the sensitive Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). The average concentration of Pb, Cu and Zn were 10.5±7.12 µg g-1 dry weights, 31.1±16.5 µg g-1 dry weights and 20.8±13.3 µg g-1 dry weights, respectively.
