Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWinter Forage Program Benefitted Small-Scale Goat ProducersUma Karki, Lila Bahadur KarkiSmall and limited resource farmers are raising goats on pastures in the southeast USA. Nevertheless, many of these farms do not have productive and quality pastures to support the nutrient requirements of their animals. Information on forages that are suitable to improve goat pastures and sustainably grazing those pastures with goats is still lacking. Study objectives were to (1) find … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2017 · 8,350 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Uniform Truncated Negative Binomial Distribution and its PropertiesBahady I. Kamel, Shaban E. Abo Youssef, Mohamed G. SiefA new three parameters continuous distribution which is named the Uniform Truncated Negative Binomial (UTNB) distribution is introduced. It has the uniform and the Marshall-Olkin extended uniform distributions as sub-models. Some reliability and statistical properties of the new distribution are derived, including the shape behavior of the density and hazard rate functions, the mean residual life, moments and moment generating … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 29 Nov 2016 · 7,308 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) for Use in Flexible PavementAhmed Ebrahim Abu El-Maaty, Abdulla Ibrahim ElmohrDue to economical reasons and the need for environmental conservatism, there has been an increasing shift towards the use of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) materials in the pavement construction industry. The majority of HMA mixtures in Egypt are produced only from virgin materials although there are about 4 million tons per year of reclaimed asphalt materials, due to continuous pavement … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2015 · 9,213 accessesView PDF Cite

Gastrointestinal nematodes of small ruminants are one of the major causes of productivity loss. This study was carried out to determine the correlation between the prevalence, seasonal incidence and geographical distribution of abomasal worm infection of native sheep in Baneh Town of Iran, suitable for animal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2013 · 7,334 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification, Characterization and Quantification of Elastomeric/Plastomeric Waste for Sustainable Waste MinimizationKajal Yadav, Sangita, A. ChandraThe present study focuses on the importance of characterization of waste/post consumer polymers. In recent years sophisticated instrumental techniques played an important role in identification and characterization of polymers. Advances in computer techniques have been combined with analytical instruments to give analytical speed, resolution and minimal sample requirements unimagined a few years ago. The present study deals with the development … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,056 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSystem Availability in the Presence of Estimating Common-cause Time-varying Failure RatesM. A. El-Damcese, Kh. A. Abd AlttifThis study presents a method for calculating the availability of a system depicted by availability block diagram, with identically distributed components, in the presence of estimating common cause hazard, we use the Marshall and Olkin formulation of the multivariate exponential distribution. That is, the components are subject to failure by Poisson failure processes that govern simultaneous failure of a specific … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,732 accessesView PDF Cite
