Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSocio-Demographic Factors Affecting Attitude towards Information and Communication Technology UsageMusa Abu Hassan, Bahaman Abu Samah, Hayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril, Jeffrey Lawrence D’SilvaProblem statement: Rural development through ICT has been the focus of the Malaysian government. ICT is an important tool nowadays and in order to be a developed community, the community especially those in the rural areas must use it wisely. Besides the numerous benefits offered by the ICT, it would be helpful to know whether the rural community especially their … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 8,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNumerical Modeling of Laterally Loaded PilesS.T. Kok, Bujang B.K. HuatDesign of laterally loaded piles due to soil movement relies on a number of theoretical and numerical approaches. However, the magnitude of soil movement is difficult to estimate with reasonable confidence and accuracy. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) offers an excellent alternative to study pile-soil interaction and pile’s response under lateral loading due to soil movement. This research presents published analytical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Reality of Palestinian Prisoners in Israeli Jails: Haytham Jaber's Novel "The Captive" as a ModelDr. Amal Abu HanishThe theme of prisons, torture and absence of freedoms is part of the discourse of the Palestinian narrative, specifically those written by the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, making prison descriptions and the colors of torture and humiliation both enjoyable and disturbing. There is a precise description of the violence and brutality of torturers in the cells of prisons and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2018 · 7,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsENERGY PSYCHOLOGY-PRACTICES AND THEORIES OF NEW COMBINATIONS OF PSYCHOTHERAPYDaniel J. BenorEnergy Psychology (EP) includes a spectrum of practices in which people tap on their bodies while focusing their minds on problems they want to change. EP therapies often are very rapidly effective. This article examines varieties of explanations for how EP works, including: Cognitive changes, psychological conditioning, expectation effects, distraction techniques, tapping on acupuncture points, shifts in other biological energies, … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 12 Jul 2014 · 16,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Efficient Algorithm for Mining Spatially Co-located Moving ObjectsG. Manikandan, S. SrinivasanMining co-location patterns from spatial databases may disclose the types of spatial features which are likely located as neighbors’ in space. Accordingly, we present an algorithm previously for mining spatially co-located moving objects using spatial data mining techniques and Prim’s Algorithm. In the previous technique, the scanning of database to mine the spatial co-location patterns took much computational cost. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 2 Mar 2013 · 6,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Increased Physiological Arousal on Upper Extremity Positional Awareness in Healthy Young AdultsChristopher Kovacs, Tamara BoriesProblem statement: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of increased physiological arousal on the ability to perceive upper extremity positional awareness in healthy young adults. Approach: Thirty-eight participants were pre- and post-tested for upper extremity positional awareness using a manual kinesthesiometer. Participants in the experimental group underwent a combination of the Stroop color-word task and timed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSpatial Variability of Irrigation Water Percolation Rates and Its Relation to Rice ProductivityW. Aimrun, M.S.M. Amin, A. GholizadehProblem statement: Study on spatial variability of vertical saturated hydraulic conductivity or percolation loss was conducted within a plot of an area of 1.2 ha paddy plot to find out the relationship between percolation rate and rice productivity. A paddy soil condition that permits percolation rate of 10-20 mm irrigation water day-1 was recommended in order to get high yield … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMass Structure Deformation Monitoring using Low Cost Differential Global Positioning System DeviceRamin S. Azar, Helmi Z.M. ShafriIn this study, a technique for monitoring bridge deformation with the simplest GPS device available was demonstrated. The accuracy of these observations was evaluated and the best approach for this purpose was suggested. The device used was the low cost GS20 Leica single frequency GPS, which is a basic GPS receiver for this study. This study was done during March, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsField Behavior of A High Anchored Reinforced Earth WallFaisal Hj Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Chee HaiSince the invention of Reinforced Earth by the French architect Hendri Vidal in 1966, numerous reinforced soil walls have been designed and constructed all over the world. In this study the focus was on a particular type of reinforced wall called Nehemiah wall which differed from the Vidal type in the sense that instead of steel strips, the reinforcing elements … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Rodent Model of Autism: Intraventricular Infusions of Propionic Acid Increase Locomotor Activity and Induce Neuroinflammation and Oxidative Stress in Discrete Regions of Adult Rat BrainDerrick F. MacFabe, Karina Rodríguez-Capote, Jennifer E. Hoffman et al.Innate neuroinflammatory changes, increased oxidative stress and disorders of glutathione metabolism may be involved in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Propionic acid (PPA) is a dietary and gut bacterial short chain fatty acid which can produce brain and behavioral changes reminiscent of ASD following intraventricular infusion in rats. Adult Long-Evans rats were given intraventricular infusions of either PPA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 12,613 accessesView PDFCite
