Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcceptance and Use of Strategic Processes in Developing CountriesAlev M. Efendioglu, A. Tugba KarabulutProblem statement: The concept of strategy has become a major process in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. These organizations have used the process to understand issues which they cannot control but have a significant impact on their success and use their limited resources and competencies to improve their competitive positions. The process was used in developed economies and primarily by businesses … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBinary Merge Coding for Lossless Image Data CompressionN. Subhash Chandra, M. Bala Raju, M. Arya bahanu et al.Problem statement: Image processing applications were drastically increasing over the years. In such a scenario, the fact that, the digital images need huge amounts of disk space seems to be a crippling disadvantage during transmission and storage. So, there arises a need for data compression of images. Approach: This study proposed a novel technique called binary merge coding for lossless … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 30 May 2009 · 6,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Satellite Data to Study the Impact of Land-Cover/Land-Use Change in Madison County AlabamaTomas Ayala-Silva, Garry Gordon, Robert HeathThe monitoring of land/use land cover changes along the northern part of Madison County Alabama are essential for the developers, planners, policy makers and management of government, public and private organizations. Remote sensing was used to analyze and study land-use/land-cover use changes impact on the environment of Madison County Alabama. This study area was selected because it is one of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTEC and Scintillation Study of Equatorial Ionosphere: A Month Campaign over Sipitang and Parit Raja Stations, MalaysiaM. Abdullah, A. F.M. Zain, Y. H. Ho, S. AbdullahProblem Statement: Ionospheric scintillations, which cause significant effects on satellite signals for communication and navigation, often takes place in equatorial region such as Malaysia. However, this disturbance are not fully understand due to few studies performed. This research reports the study and monitoring activity on Total Electron Content (TEC) and ionospheric scintillation in Malaysia using GPS measurements. Approach: One dual-frequency … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesigning for Comfort and Reliability in an Intelligent Car SeatD.A. Wahab, N.F. Adull Manan, M.A. Hannan et al.Today, intelligent safety systems are installed in modern cars in view of minimising road hazards. An intelligent air bag system for example, comprised several subsystems that are integrated to include the weight sensor system, image sensor system, crash sensor system and tyre pressure monitoring system. These systems when poorly positioned into the car seat, will certainly affect comfort and reliability … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Approach to Determine the Effects of MS Environment using the Portable GPS Receiver with Built-in AntennaWan Azlan Wan Zainal Abidin, Kiyotaka Fujisaki, Mitsuo TateibaCommunication impairment on the Mobile Satellite (MS) path for non-geostationary satellite is mainly due to effect of multipath and shadowing. In order to study the signal quality received by the MS user, a receiver system that has similar characteristics to the actual receiver used by the MS user should be used. This study presents a novel approach to determine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRat Cardiomyocytes Express a Classical Epithelial Beta-DefensinAnnika Linde, Gerald H. Lushington, Frank Blecha, Tonatiuh MelgarejoBeta-defensins (BDs) are classical epithelial antimicrobial peptides of immediate importance in innate host defense. Since recent studies have suggested that certain BDs are also expressed in non-traditional tissues, including whole heart homogenate, and because effector molecules of innate immunity and inflammation can influence the development of certain cardiovascular disease processes, we hypothesized that BDs are produced by cardiomyocytes as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompressive Load Resistance Characteristics of Rice GrainSumpun Chaitep, Chaiy Rungsiyakull, Pipatpong WatanawanyooInvestigation was made to observe the compressive load property of rice gain both rough rice and brown grain. Six rice varieties (indica and japonica) were examined with the moisture content at 10-12%. Compressive loads with reference to a principal axis normal to the thickness of the grain were conducted at selected inclined angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Image Component Transmission Approach to Improve Image Quality and Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor NetworksWei Wang, Dongming Peng, Honggang Wang, Hamid SharifDue to resource constraints, digital image transmissions are a significant challenge for image sensor based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In this paper, we propose a novel robust and energy-efficient scheme, called Image Component Transmission (ICT) in WSN by providing various levels of reliability during image transmissions. Different components in the embedded wavelet image bit stream are considered and essential components … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,247 accessesView PDFCite
