Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of Rice Husk and Rice Husk Ash for Phenol Removal in Aqueous SystemsA. H. Mahvi, A. Maleki, A. EslamiThe potential of rice husk and rice husk ash for phenol adsorption from aqueous solution was studied. Batch kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, phenol concentration, adsorbent dose and pH. Adsorption equilibrium of rice husk and rice husk ash was reached within 6 hours for phenolic concentration 150-500 μg/L and 3 hours … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 10,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMalaysian Service Sectors Adopt FEDI to Boost Exports and ImportsSaravanan MuthaiyahFinancial Electronic Data Interchange (FEDI) refers to making cash payments electronically rather than utilizing any form of traditional payment methods such as physical checks. The merger of two unique systems namely Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has brought about this new technology. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain how FEDI is currently being … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChildren Perception on TV Advertisement: The Impact of Age, Gender and Parental InfluenceAhasanul Haque, Ali KhatibiThis study examined two components of understanding TV advertising: the recognition of the difference between programmes and commercials and the comprehension of advertising intent. ANOVA analyses were performed to assess the effect on age, gender, parent-child interaction and parental control over children of TV programme watching. Research found that majority of children aged between five and eight have some understanding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Instabilities and Stochastic Pulsation at Laser-Plasma Interaction by Beam SmoothingFrederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThe key problem of direct drive laser fusion is the appearance of parametric instabilities, stochastic pulsation, self-focusing (filamentation) and other anomalies. During the long years studies, the empirical and intuitively developed methods for smoothing of the laser beam were rather successful but a transparent understanding of the physics has still to be found. The first theory how the instabilities are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRevisiting the Unit Root Hypothesis and Structural Break: Asia and Emerging Economies Foreign Exchange MarketsChristopher Gan, Sirimon Treepongkaruna, Hue Hwa Au YongThis study examines the stationary of ten Asian and for emerging Foreign Exchange (FX) rates during the 1990s. The paper employs the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test to the following FX rates: Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) Japanese Yen (JPY), South Korean won (KRW) new Taiwan dollar (TWN), Chinese Renminbl (CHR), Indonesia Rupiah (IDR), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Singapore Dollar (SGD), … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 6,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmall Business Critical Success/Failure Factors In Developing Economies: Some Evidences From BotswanaZelealem T. Temtime, J. PansiriAlthough the discovery of diamond has propelled Botswana from one of the poorest countries in 1966 to its current economic status as a middle-income country, the country still faces the problems of economic diversification, employment creation, income generation and distribution and poverty alleviation. Governmental and non- Governmental organizations have put many efforts on the development of small and medium Enterprises … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 9,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurface Roughness Prediction Model in Machining of Carbon Steel by PCD Coated Cutting ToolsYusuf Sahin, A. Riza MotorcuThe surface roughness model in the turning of AISI 1040 carbon steel was developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using response surface methodology. Machining tests were carried out using PVD-coated tools under different cutting conditions. The surface roughness equations of cutting tools when machining the carbon steels were achieved by using the experimental data. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 7,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariation in the Thickness of A Fluid Interface Due to Internal Wave Propagation: A Lattice Boltzmann SimulationJ.M. Buick, D.B. Hann, J.A. CosgroveThe change in the thickness of an interface between two immiscible fluids due to the propagation of an internal capillary-gravity wave along the interface is considered using a Bhatnagar, Gross and Krook (BGK) lattice Boltzmann model of a binary of fluid. The vertical thickness of the interface is recorded from the simulations since this is the most easily measured quantities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
