Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Use of Rice Bran Compost for Eco-friendly Weed Control in Organic Farming SystemsM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.Rice bran compost (RC) was evaluated under greenhouse and field conditions for eco-friendly weed control of vegetable crops in organic farming systems. RC was applied 7 days before spinach seed sowing, at the rate of 0% (control), 10%, 20% and 30% of soil (v/v) in the greenhouse and 2 kg m-2 under field conditions. RC significantly controlled the number and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,930 accessesView PDFCite

El-EmaryMulticast Ad-Hoc on-Demand Distance Vector (MAODV) protocol keeps sending control packets within static periods whether there was sending of data packets or not, and it was not concerned with the amount of these data packets. Based on this, many people found out that there are a high number of control packets in the short-lived connection. The main idea of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Pre-processing of USF and MIAS Mammogram ImagesAyman A. AbuBaker, R. S. Qahwaji, Musbah J. Aqel et al.High quality mammogram images are high resolution and large size images. Processing these images require high computational capabilities. The transmission of these images over the net is sometimes critical especially if the diagnosis of remote radiologists is required. In this paper, a pre-processing technique for reducing the size and enhancing the quality of USF and MIAS mammogram images is introduced. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Relationships Among the Adoption Parameters of Computers and Internet in Agriculture: An Application of Probit ModelAnastasios MichailidisThe main reason for carrying out this study was to determine possible relationships among several adoption parameters of computer use, internet usage and internet access in agriculture. The key options for determining relationships (apart from non-parametric correlation techniques) are canonical correlation analysis, probit models and logit models. Canonical correlation analysis is generally seen as a weaker statistical technique than probit … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,527 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of HIV-1 Infection in Addictive Behavior: A Study of a HIV-1 Transgenic Rat ModelSulie L. Chang, Michael VigoritoEpidemiological research indicates that drug abuse is prevalent among individuals infected with HIV-1. Evidence from preclinical research also suggests that drugs of abuse exacerbate the progression of neuropathological changes in the HIV-1 infected brain probably through common mechanisms of neuronal injury. The effects of HIV-1 on the efficacy and abuse potential of controlled drugs such as morphine, however, has not … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Indexing Technique for Information Retrieval Systems Using Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST)Muhammad Shoaib, Abad Ali ShahEffective information retrieval requires an efficient indexing technique. With the availability of huge volume of information, it has become necessary to capture the semantic of the document, which is almost impossible with the existing techniques. Moreover in the existing technique the weights once assign are remains unchangeable through out the cycle. In this paper an indexing technique assignment using Rhetorical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,413 accessesView PDFCite
