Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Several Antibiotics on Lactococcus garvieae Isolated from Jordanian Dairy ProductsNizar Issa AlrabadiThis study investigated the antibiotic resistance profile of the L. garvieae isolated strains from Jordanian dairy products. Disk diffusion method was used. In particular, different antibiotics were tested against L. garvieae; the antibiotic disks were Trimethoprim (5 µg), Clindamycin (2 µg), Nitrofurantoin (300 µg), Erythromycin (15 µg), Ampicillin (15 µg), Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (1.25/23.75 µg Polymyxin B (300U) and Tetracycline (30 µg). … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2012 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDo Companies’ Characteristics Play Key Roles in the Level of their Environmental Disclosures?Hafez Abdo, Ali Al-DrugiAfter reviewing the literature, we noticed that the vast majority of studies in the field of environmental accounting and disclosure have focused on developed countries such as Western Europe, America and Australia, while neglected developing countries. This study investigates the relationship between the level of environmental disclosure and company’s characteristics. The researchers identified a number of characteristics that associate with … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 11 Jul 2012 · 8,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntervened 2-Tier Poisson Distribution for Understanding Hospital Site InfectivityR. ShanmugamProblem statement: Whether it is a surgical site or medical treatment at a hospital site, the nurses in particular and the entire medical team including surgeons/physicians in general undergo a risk of being infected ironically by the patients whom they intend to disinfect. There are 2-tiers of patients at the site. One type consists of patients who are internally and … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2012 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-Loss Hand-Made Demultiplexer using Transparent Color Filter in WDM-POF Network for Short-Haul Communication SystemMohd Syuhaimi Ab. Rahman, L. S. Supian, Hadi Guna et al.Problem statement: Polymer optical fiber has advantages compared to other alternatives communication media such as copper, coax cable and glass fiber. POF has bigger bandwidth compared to wireless communication network and POF is also free from electromagnetic disruption. Since POF is suitable for communication system up to distance of 100 m with data speed of 400 Mbps using polymer step-index … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,087 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShape Retrieval through Angular Distance with Shortest Augmenting Path AlgorithmD. Chitra, N. Devarajan, T. ManigandanProblem statement: The shape of an object is very important in object recognition. Shape matching is a challenging problem, especially when articulation and deformation of a part occurs. These variations may be insignificant for human recognition but often cause a matching algorithm to give results that are inconsistent with our perception. Approach: We proposed a customized approach to measure similarity … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 21 Oct 2011 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective Queue Management Scheme for Data CommunicationSheela Thavasi, Nityanandam NatarajanProblem statement: The growth in the needs of Internet applications that transmit massive amount of data has led to the emergence of Effective Queue Management. Approach: Queues were used to smooth spikes in incoming packet rates and to allow the router sufficient time for packet processing. When the waiting time is less a better queue management is ensured thereby resulting … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 7,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynchronization of Chaos Systems Using Fuzzy LogicMohammad Ababneh, Issa Etier, Mahmoud Smadi, Jasim GhaebProblem statement: This study presented a new and systematic method to robustly synchronize uncertain chaos systems. It was derived based on the observer approach for synchronization, where error dynamics was made asymptotically stable around the zero to accomplish synchronization. Approach: This method viewed the synchronization problem as a control problem in order to make use of the literature available in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Partial Oxidation and Carbon Dioxide Reforming Process: A Thermodynamic StudySompop JarungthammachoteProblem statement: CO2 reforming is one of the methods to utilize a greenhouse gas to produce syngas, an important feed for methanol and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. However, CO2 reforming is strong endothermic reaction requiring large amount of supplied energy. Partial oxidation, an exothermic reaction, is combined with CO2 reforming to serve the energy requirement. Thus, the optimum ranges of O2 and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,527 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Tropical Peat Swamp Forest Clearing on Soil Carbon StorageAhmad Shukri Mat Nuri, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidAbstract: Problem Statement: Forest clearing in Tropical Peat Swamp Forest (TPSF) will affect forest soil carbon storage. Thus this study is essential to determine whether the effect of clearing of forest does to the nature of soil forest concentrating on soil carbon storage. The objectives of this study were to analyze carbon storage values in logged and clear cut TPSF … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of the Effect of Lossy and Lossless Block Based Binary Plane Techniques on Medical ImagesNalla Subhash Chandra, Mahaboob Basha Shaik, A. Govardhan, M. BalrajuProblem statement: The general and medical images in specific contain different regions holding information of different significances. To elaborate medical information, the doctor prefers to focus on certain selected region (s) of interest. So for medical images the diagnostically important regions must be preserved at high quality, whereas the rest of the image is required only in a contextual sense. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,380 accessesView PDFCite
