Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrganic Alternative for Breaking Dormancy in Table Grapes Grown in Hot RegionsConsuelo Corrales-Maldonado, Miguel Angel Martinez-Tellez, Alfonso A. Gardea et al.Problem statement: In warm-winter regions, the need for intervention of chemical means to break bud rest becomes a dominant factor for maintaining economic production of table grapes. However, the problem is more acute when farmers want to grow organic table grapes in the absence of environmentally-friendly budbreak promoters. Approach: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a mix of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,753 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScalp Induction Rate Responses to Cytokinins on Proliferating Shoot-Tips of Banana Cultivars (Musa spp.)Siamak Shirani, Meon Sariah, Wahab Zakaria, Mahmood MaziahProblem statement: The effect of cytokinins on scalp induction from in vitro propagating shoot tips of different banana (Musa spp. AAA and AAB) cultivars was studied. Approach: Proliferation rate increased with an increasing concentration of Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) up to 22.2 µM while, lower level of BAP (11.1 µM) increased scalp induction. Results: Kinetin induced a lower number of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Compaction and Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Yield in a Clay Textured SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem Statement: The impacts of soil compaction on crop yields have been studied extensively by soil scientists due to declining soil productivity associated with mechanisation. However, a relationship between machine-induced soil compaction and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) yield is unclear. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of mechanization on soil physical properties and the influence … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredict Location(s) of Apis dorsata Nesting Sites Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System in Melaleuca ForestiM. M. Saberioon, M. Mardan, L. Nordin et al.Problem statement: The Asiatic Giant honeybees (Apis dorsata) are seasonally abounded throughout the upland and lowland rainforests in South East Asia. The colonies of A. dorsata are found to nest in aggregates on tall bee trees (tree emergent) in the open, as well as, nesting singly in concealed locations when nesting low, especially in the submerged forest of Melaleuca cajuputi … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory and In vivo Antiplasmodial Activities of Propolis ExtractsSyamsudin, Rita Marleta Dewi, KusmardiProblem statement: Malaria caused by various species of prozoan parasites, Plasmodium. The exact mechanism of humoral immunity in eliminating Plasmodium is not completely understood. However, an antimalarial antibody is strongly suspected to play important role in immunity. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the immunomodulator and antiplasmodial activities of Indonesian propolis extracts. Approach: Thirty male BALB/c mice weighing … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,801 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Salivary Glands α-amylase In Wheat Bug Eurygaster maura (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae)Mohammad Mehrabadi, Ali R. Bandaniα-amylase activity in the salivary glands of Eurygaster maura was determined by biochemical experiments. Some of adult insect was collected and their salivary glands isolated and characterized. Enzyme samples from salivary glands of adults were prepared by the method of Cohen with slight modifications. α-Amylase activity was assayed based on Bernfeld method by the dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) procedure. The activity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing of α-Amylase Activity of Midgut in Wheat Bug Eurygaster mauraMohammad Mehrabadi, Ali R. BandaniTo determine of α-amylase activity in the midgut of Eurygaster maura, some of adult insect was collected and their gut isolated and characterized. Enzyme samples from midguts of adults were prepared by the method of Cohen with slight modifications. α-Amylase activity was assayed based on Bernfeld method by the dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) procedure. The activity of α-amylase in midgut was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Investigation of Elastoplastic Deformation of a Sandwich Beam on the Elastic FoundationMoh’d Ishaq Abu HalawaElastoplastic bending of a sandwich beam with a rigid compressible filler on an elastic base has been studied. To describe kinematics of asymmetrical across thickness pack in the bearing layers the Bernoulli hypotheses have been accepted. Displacements in the filler vary linearly over thickness. The distributed superficial loading simulates the hydrostatic effect of the ambient liquid. The reaction of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemantic Web on Scope: A New Architectural Model for the Semantic WebHaytham T. Al-Feel, Magdy Koutb, Hoda SuororProblem Statement: Current web contains billions of documents and has many administrative problems and limitations; in addition to that the web content is still accessible only to humans. The solution to these problems is the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web is considered to be the extension for the current web. But there are problems facing the Semantic Web now, such … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValorization of Drinking Water Treatment Sludges as Raw Materials to Produce Concrete and MortarR.M. Ramirez Zamora, O. Ceron Alfaro, N. Cabirol et al.The purpose of this work was to assess the technical feasibility to valorize sludges, generated and stored at the Los Berros drinking water facility (PPLB), as raw material to produce building products (mortar and concrete) for the construction industry. The experimental study was divided into three stages: 1) sampling and characterization of PPLB sludges to determine their potential as raw … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
