Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVIDENCE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL KUZNETS CURVE: IMPLICATIONS OF INDUSTRIAL TRADE DATAJamalludin Sulaiman, Azlinda Azman, Behnaz SabooriThis study examines the dynamic relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth in Malaysia for the period of 1980-2004. The evidence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is tested by including energy consumption, dirty export from Malaysia to China and dirty import from China to Malaysia based on the two and three-digit ISIC data which reflect pollution-intensive manufacturing. Using dirty … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Potentialof Renewable Energy: Using The Environmental Kuznets Curve ModelJamalludin Sulaiman, Azlinda Azman, Behnaz SabooriThis study examines the potential of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in reducing the impact of carbon emission in Malaysia and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, which leads to global warming. Using the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, this study analyses the impact of electricity generated using RES on the environment and trade openness for the period 1980-2009. Using the Autoregressive … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2013 · 14,772 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Development and Numerical Analysis of Honeycomb Core with Variable Crushing StrengthShabnam Sadeghi Esfahlani, Hassan Shirvani, Ayoub Shirvani et al.A honeycomb core with half-circular cut-away sections at the spine (the adjoining cell walls) is designed and developed and numerically tested under axial dynamic load condition. The parametric study is invoked to identify the effect of various circular cut-away dimensions. In one embodiment a half-circular shaped cuts are removed from the top of the cell where the cell is impacted … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2013 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Alternative Graph Cut Algorithm for Morphological Edge DetectionP. RadhakrishnanProblem statement: Image analysis has some basic importance of edge detection. Characterize the object boundaries are helpful for object segmentation, registration and identification in a scene. There are many methods for edge detection, but it can be identified by two major methods, search-based and zero-crossing based. Approach: Proposed method tries to follow searching the edge points by applying graph cuts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 29 May 2012 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeachers View on Social and Emotional Aspect of Pedagogical CompetenceInga Belousa, Skaidrite UzulinaProblem statement: Bologna process challenges European higher education area by comparability and compatibility of several issues including educators’ professional competence. However, through their educational philosophy and activity educators have discovered and shaped their own sense and meaning of pedagogical competence. During the time when teacher professional standard has been reexamined nationally, teachers’ voice in Latvia is still poorly considered. Therefore, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Feb 2012 · 8,513 accessesView PDFCite
