Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Performance of Replacement Heifers in Hot Arid Environment Under Intensive ManagementM. A. Razzaque, S. A. Mohammed, T. Al- Mutawa, M. BedairProblem statement: Imported Holstein Friesian dairy cattle are exposed to hot arid climate in feedlot management in Kuwait. Desert climate is extreme reaching high 45-50°C in summer and low -4ºC in winter at day and night respectively. High calf mortality, poor reproduction and milk yields were main constraints to viable dairying. The objectives of this study were to assess the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Learning Styles on Education and the Teaching ProcessIbrahim Yasar KazuProblem statement: It is of great importance that individuals actively participate in the learning process; that, starting from the early ages, their awareness be raised about the efficiency of the learning styles in developing their academic success and self-confidence; and that the learning styles they have be determined. For this reason, this study aimed to reveal the learning styles having … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 17,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Optimal Control for Rotary Inverted PendulumViroch Sukontanakarn, Manukid ParnichkunProblem statement: The rotary inverted pendulum system was a highly nonlinear model, multivariable and absolutely unstable dynamic system. It was used for testing various design control techniques and in teaching modern control. The objectives of this study were to: (i) Develop a real rotary inverted pendulum which derived the mechanical model by using Euler-Lagrange and (ii) Design controller algorithm for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Different Ages of a Rehabilitated Forest on Selected Physico-chemical PropertiesRajeswari A.P. Murugayah, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: This research was important because of still lack of information about rehabilitated tropical forest age effect on infiltration rate. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of age of forest on soil water infiltration rate and to evaluate the influence of forest age on the relationship between water infiltration rate, soil organic matter and soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Light-Weight Service Discovery Protocol for Ad Hoc NetworksRanwa Al Mallah, Alejandro QuinteroProblem statement: In mobile ad hoc networks devices do not rely on a fixed infrastructure and thus have to be self-organizing. This gives rise to various challenges to network applications. Existing service discovery protocols fall short of accommodating the complexities of the ad-hoc environment. However, the performance of distributed service discovery architectures that rely on a virtual backbone for locating … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,336 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulink Model of Direct Torque Control of Induction MachineH.F. Abdul Wahab, H. SanusiDirect torque control (DTC) is one of the most excellent control strategies of torque control in induction machine. It is considered as an alternative to the field oriented control (FOC) or vector control technique. These two control strategies are different on the operation principle but their objectives are the same. They aim to control effectively the torque and flux. Torque … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,865 accessesView PDFCite
