Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Diffusion Coefficient using Reversed-Flow Gas Chromatography-A ReviewKhalisanni Khalid, Rashid Atta Khan, Sharifuddin Mohd. ZainProblem statement: Since the earliest publication on the technique, Reversed-Flow Gas Chromatography (RF-GC) has been used to determine physicochemical properties by measuring the value of one in the presence of another. The method is precise, accurate and simple compared to other conventional techniques. Approach: The experimental setup consists of a small modification of a commercial gas chromatograph, so that it … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,223 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Computable General Equilibrium Model of Southern Region in Taiwan: The Impact of the Tainan Science-Based Industrial ParkChun-Chu Liu, Chia-Yon ChenThe primary modeling tools used to analyze regional economic issues include econometric forecasting models, fixed price Input-Output (I-O) multi-sector models, Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models. CGE models combine the advantages of econometric, I-O models and SAM strengthening the theoretical basis of the modeling effort and thus enabling more precise policy analysis. The current CGE literature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout the Space RobotsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuToday, robots help us more than ever in all major operations, everyday life and become a daily reality, making it an integral part of major human projects.

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Inadequacy of Pertinent Capacities for Urban Flood Risk Management in the Developing CountriesNkwunonwo Ugonna Chimnonyerem, Chiemelu Emmanuel Ndukwe, Nkwunonwo Ugochi AdannayaOf all the widespread natural hazards with large scale human, economic and environmental impacts, flooding surpasses. In the urban areas, the threats of this hazard are substantial and call for ever more attention, which, within the contexts of sustainable human and urban development, is increasingly an important problem in social science research. Urban flooding is a relatively new hazard phenomenon, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2016 · 7,828 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Working Integrated Model for the Diffusion of Construction InnovationAhmad Rahman Songip, B.H. Lau, Kamaruzaman Jusoff, Hayati Nor RamliConstruction industry is said to be low in innovation and adoption of innovations is necessary to gain competitive advantage in a liberalized and globalized marketplace. This study investigated the factors that influenced the diffusion of construction innovations and developed an integrated framework to improve the diffusion process. A conceptual model was developed to guide the study and the modification of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 9 Feb 2013 · 8,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameter Estimation for the Double Pareto DistributionFaris M. Al-AthariProblem statement: The double Pareto distribution appeared most often as model for variety of fields, including archaeology, biology, economics, environmental science, finance and physics. The distribution exhibits Paretian power-law behavior in both tails. The family of double Pareto distributions has recently been proposed for modeling growth rates such as annual gross domestic product, stock prices, foreign currency exchange rates and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2011 · 8,674 accessesView PDFCite
