Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Diurnally Cyclic Temperature on the Performance of a Continuous Mix Anaerobic DigesterAbdel E. Ghaly, Mariam T. Al HattabProblem statement: Concentrated livestock production is a major contributor to environmental problems through the production of large quantity of husks on relatively small land area. Anaerobic digestion represents a valuable means of cover by these husks into methane while reducing manure pollution problems. Methodology: An experimental apparatus, including data acquisition and control system, was developed and used to investigate the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Jan 2012 · 9,226 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal Option Method and Escalation of Commitment in the Evaluation of Investment ProjectsMehrdad Karami, Farshid Ahmadi FarsaniProblem statement: This study applies an experimental method to find out whether using the real option method along with the discounted cash flow techniques can reduce the decision-makers’ Escalation of Commitment (EC hereafter) or their desire to keep up their commitment to a failed project. Approach: The real option method used for the evaluation of long-term projects also measures the … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2011 · 7,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Boundary Detection of Wall Motion in Two-dimensional Echocardiography ImagesFaten Abed Ali Dawood, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.Problem statement: Medical image analysis is a particularly difficult problem because the inherent characteristics of these images, including low contrast, speckle noise, signal dropouts and complex anatomical structures. An accurate analysis of wall motion in Two-dimensional echocardiography images is “important clinical diagnosis parameter for many cardiovascular diseases”. A challenge most researchers faced is how to speed up the clinical decisions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 8,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRational Mix Design Approach for High Strength Concrete Using Sand with very High Fineness ModulusKwan Wai Hoe, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Production of concrete is always deal with inconsistency. Sources of variation like materials from different geographical basis, mix design method, fineness of aggregates and so on will attribute to different level of achievement of the concrete. Even though researcher had verified that higher fineness modulus of sand would yield better performance for the concrete, but so far there … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotted Plants on Flat Roof as a Strategy to Reduce Indoor Temperature in Malaysian ClimateAsmat Ismail, Muna Hanim Abdul Samad, Abdul Malek Abdul RahmanProblem statement: The phenomenon of global warming or climate change has led to many environmental issues including higher atmospheric temperatures, intensive precipitation, increase greenhouse gaseous emission and of course increase indoor discomfort condition. Researchers worldwide collectively agreed that one way of reducing the impact of global warming is by implementing green roof technology which integrates vegetation, growing medium and water … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Novel Fidelity Digital Watermarking Based on Adaptively Pixel-Most-Significant-Bit-6 in Spatial Domain Gray Scale Images and RobustMehemed Bashir Aliwa, Tarek El-Ahmady El-Tobely, Mahmood M. Fahmy et al.The digital watermarking technology is a way to apply digital information hiding techniques and prevent malicious and non-malicious attacks to detect hidden information. Problem statement: The problems in digital watermarking is that the three requirements of imperceptibility, capacity and robustness that are must be satisfied but they almost conflict with each other, accordingly there are tradeoff between fidelity and robustness. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteraction of Soil Static and Dynamic Stiffness and Buried Pipeline Under Harmonic VibrationAlireza Mirza Goltabar Roshan, Hossein Khalilpasha, Mohsen GhorbaniProblem statement: When earthquake is occur, many damages were occurred in pipelines that San Francisco (1906) and Manson (1908), Kobe (Japan) and ate are samples of this topic. So many researchers studied on the pipelines and dynamic forces. Approach: Determine static and dynamic performance parameters of the pipeline and the surrounding soil such as static stiffness, dynamic stiffness, damping and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach of Adaptive Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System Modeling in Laser Processing-A Graphical User Interface (GUI) BasedSivarao, Peter Brevern, N. S.M. El-TayebProblem statement: The power of Artificial Intelligent (AI) becomes more authoritative when the system is programmed to cater the need of complex applications. MATLAB 2007B, integrating artificial intelligent system and Graphical User Interface (GUI) has reduced researchers' fear-to-model factor due to unfamiliarity and phobia to produce program codes. Approach: In this study, how GUI was developed on Matlab to model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDigital Video Watermarking in the Discrete Cosine Transform DomainSadik Ali M. Al-Taweel, Putra Sumari, Saleh Ali K. Alomari, Anas J.A. HusainProblem statement: Nowadays, digital watermarks have recently become recognized as a solution for protecting copyright of the digital multimedia. For a watermark to be useful, it must be perceptually invisible and robust against any possible attack and image processing by those who seek to corsair the material, researchers have considered various approaches like JPEG compression, geometric distortions and noising. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Kinetic Correction Coefficient of Fluid Flow Using a Generic Multiple Orifice Physical Scale Model StructureEmmanuel M. AdigioProblem statement: Diesel particulate filters are fast becoming integral parts of diesel engines, light and heavy duty, due to their potential in the reduction of particulate matter from exhaust gases and their noise muffling property. Consequently, several researchers are developing mathematical models for the study of fluid flow through the filter substrate and in the aiding of filter systems design. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
