Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObtaining Organic Poultry Breeding Products in Prevention of MycotoxicosisAlena Kapitonova, Makhabat Saginbayeva, Kulbaram Bayazitova et al.The article is devoted to the prevention of mycotoxicosis in poultry farming as one of the main components of effective management of the industry. Despite the step-by-step control, the synergy of mycotoxins has a detrimental effect on the bird's body, especially at the final stage of fattening. Growth inhibition, as well as sudden death syndrome, reduce the economic impact. We … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 28 Jul 2021 · 6,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sequence Based Validation of Gene Expression Microarray DataGerhard G. Thallinger, Eva Obermayr, Pornpimol Charoentong et al.Problem statement: Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is often used to validate microarray data. Previous studies show different levels of correlation, without further investigation of influencing factors. Approach: We compared expression levels of 381 genes obtained from microarray hybridizations and from TaqMan based RT-qPCR assays. Correlation of expression levels was determined by comparing: (i) single genes across samples, (ii) all … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2012 · 13,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Mathematical Programming Approach to DEA ModelsA. Azadeh, S.F. Ghaderi, Z. Javaheri, M. SaberiEvaluating the performance of activities or organizations by traditional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as efficiency frontier analysis models requires crisp input/output data. However, in real-world problems inputs and outputs are often imprecise. This study develops DEA models using imprecise data represented by fuzzy sets. An important outcome of assessing relative efficiencies within a group of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpherical and Improved Helmholtz Coil with High B1 Homogeneity for Magnetic Resonance ImagingSidi M. Ahmed Ghaly, Khalid A. Al-Snaie, Obaidullah Khan MohammadSeveral types of volume RF coils such as Helmholtz pair have been used for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. However, the field uniformity of a coil has always been suffering from a critical issue in imaging accuracy. The presented work is a study and design of spherical and improved radiofrequency Helmholtz coil which produces a high B1 magnetic field homogeneity. This coil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 22 Dec 2016 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of the Mechanisms of Faecal Coliform Removal from Algal and Duckweed Waste Stabilization Pond SystemsE. D.O. Ansa, E. Awuah, A. Andoh et al.The use of eco-technologies for wastewater treatment such as algal and duckweed-based pond systems is becoming popular in developing countries owing to its affordability and efficiency of pathogen removal in warm climates. The pathogen removal mechanisms of these treatment systems however is still not clearly understood and existing knowledge is also scattered in journals and books of different disciplines. The … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Apr 2015 · 8,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE RATE FUNCTION OF S-MIXING PROCESS AND ITS APPLICATION IN EVALUATING EMPIRICAL LIKELIHOOD TESTSXing WangIn this study we show that the rate function of S-Mixing stationary process with part of the hypermixing condition is equivalent to the Kullback-Leibler distance. This finding can be used to extend the result of the optimality of empirical likelihood test in i.i.d setting to weakly depended case, so that the Asymptotic Relative Efficiency (ARE) of the empirical likelihood test … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2013 · 6,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSCHOOL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN FOR MOBILE PHONESKelvinnicky Gunawan, Bens PardameanSchool Information System (SIS) is an academic information system developed and implemented for a private school with a purpose to improve the efficiency of information retrieval for students, parents and school authority. One of the initial problems with SIS implementation was that it depended on the availability of computers and internet access. With slow internet connections, authentication process could be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 7,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorn Response to Nitrogen Timing and Rate under Strip Tillage and Low-Yield Environment in Southeastern Coastal PlainsPawel Wiatrak, Ahmad Khalilian, Guihua ChenProblem statement: Insufficient rainfall under low yield environment may affect nitrogen management, plant growth indices and grain yields of corn (Zea mays L.). Approach: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of two N application timings (all at planting and as split application with N applied at planting and V6 stage) and five N fertilizer rates (0, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBenchmarking in the Academic Departments using Data Envelopment AnalysisMohammad Mahallati Rayeni, Faranak Hosseinzadeh SaljooghiProblem statement: The purpose of this study is to analyze efficiency and benchmarking using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in departments of University. Benchmarking is a process of defining valid measures of performance comparison among peer decision making units (DMUs), using them to determine the relative positions of the peer DMUs and, ultimately, establishing a standard of excellence. Approach: DEA can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugarcane Response to Water-Deficit Stress during Early Growth on Organic and Sand SoilsDuli Zhao, Barry Glaz, Jack C. ComstockProblem statement: Approximately 20% of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is grown on sand soils in south Florida, USA. Sugarcane yields in the region linearly increased in last 33 years on organic (muck) soils, but not on sand soils. Water deficit during the formative growth phase on sand soils probably limits sugarcane yields. Approach: A greenhouse study was conducted in 2009 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,263 accessesView PDFCite
