Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Econometric Model for Water Sector in JordanMohammed Issa ShahateetProblem statement: This study argued that there is an economic approach to reduce water problems faced by Jordan. The study took into consideration the increasing population size, the declining rainfall, a deepening shortage of supply and increasing demand for water, the production of agricultural and industrial sectors, price of unit exports, and lack of financial resources. Approach: The framework for … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Both a Probabilistic Evolutionary Graph and the Evidence Theory for Color Scene AnalysisNassim Ammour, Abderrezak Guessoum, Daoud BerkaniIn this research, we introduce a new color images segmentation algorithm. The color scene analytic method is based on the progress of a probabilistic evolutionary graph. The strategy consists in making grow an evolutionary graph, which presents the scene elements in an unsupervised segmented image. The graph evolution development is based on the computation of the belonging probabilities to the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCase Study: A Strategic Research MethodologyKhairul Baharein Mohd NoorThis research reviews the literature on case study as a strategic qualitative research methodology. Although case studies have been criticised by some authors as lacking scientific rigour and do not address generalizability, this research, however, reiterated its appropriateness when dealing with a process or a complex real-life activities in great-depth. Case study has been commonly used in social science fields … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 51,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method for Optimal Harmonic Meter PlacementA. Ketabi, S.A. HosseiniIn this research, a new method based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed to solve the problem of optimal placement of meters for static estimation of harmonic sources in a power system. Also, the Binary Genetic Algorithm (BGA) is used to solve the problem of optimization. IEEE 14-bus test system is provided to validate the measurement placement algorithm. It … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformation Protection in Academic Campuses: A Scalable FrameworkD. S. Bhilare, A. K. Ramani, S. TanwaniProblem statement: Most institutions recognize the critical role that information security risk management plays in supporting their missions and objectives. Often, institutions do not pay enough attention towards assessing effectiveness of existing security measures. They are also unable to respond to new security threats in reasonable time. Furthermore, new laws are also forcing institutions to manage security risk more closely … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Green House Gases (GHG) Emissions from Oil Production Facilities at Northern Kuwait Oilfields: Simulated ResultsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gaseous emissions from flaring at various despised points. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis and Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Emission Mitigation Options in the Cement IndustryMohammed Ba-Shammakh, Hernane Caruso, Ali Elkamel et al.The cement industry is responsible for approximately 5% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions emitting nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000 kg of cement produced. Effective control strategies to mitigate these emissions are discussed and a mathematical programming model able to suggest the best cost effective strategy is outlined. Control costs consisting of operating and investment costs along … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Simulation Tool to Model the Ground Level Concentrations of Green House Gases Emitted by Flaring in Petroleum Production in Kuwait OilfieldsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gas emissions from flaring at well heads. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized as … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Robust Decentralized Control for UPFC Controller Based on Structured Singular ValueSeyed Abbas Taher, Shahabeddin Akbari, Ali Abdolalipour, Reza HemattiNew approach based on structured singular value (µ-synthesis) was proposed for the robust decentralized unified power flow controller (UPFC) design. To achieve decentralization, using the Schauder fixed point theorem the synthesis and analysis of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control system translated into a set of equivalent multi-input single-output (MISO) control system. Power systems similar to other industrial plants contain different kinds … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Inducible System for the Identification of Target Genes for a Regulator in MycobacteriaShruti Jain, Garima Khare, Pushplata Tripathi, Anil K. TyagiWe described principle and application of an inducible system for identification of target genes of a given mycobacterial protein with a regulatory function. This vector system, a promoterprobe vector, carries (i) promoterless lacZ as the reporter gene and (ii) the mycobacterial gene encoding the regulatory protein under the transcriptional control of the promoter of highly inducible mycobacterial gene encoding acetamidase. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,249 accessesView PDFCite
