Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics of a Novel Highly Thermostable and Extremely Thermophilic Alkalitolerant Amylase from Hyperthermophilic Bacillus Strain HUTBS71Farouk Al-Quadan, Hazem Akel, Rasha NatshiProblem statement: This study reported the purification and characterization of a novel highly thermostable alkaline amylase from a newly isolated Bacillus strain HUTBS71. Approach: The enzyme was purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Results: Maximum amylase activity (72 U mL-1) was obtained at 100°C after 10 min of incubation. The enzyme was purified 24 fold … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,400 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterface Micromotion of Cementless Hip Stems in Simulated Hip ArthroplastyMohammed Rafiq Abdul Kadir, Nazri KamsahProblem statement: The design of hip prostheses has evolved over time due to various complications found after hip replacement surgery. The currently commercially available cementless femoral stems can be categorized into one of three major types, straight cylindrical, tapered rectangular and anatomical. Each type proposes a unique concept to achieve primary stability-a major requirement for bone healing process. Virtual analyses … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,321 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Bio-Oil: A By-Product from Slow Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesK. H. Khor, K. O. Lim, Z. A. ZainalProblem statement: Oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are abundant biomass in Malaysia. Studies about production of biofuels using slow pyrolysis of EFB are still lacking. So, this study was aimed to understand the physical and chemical properties of the bio-oil and its simple blends. Approach: EFB was slow pyrolysed with internal heating at terminal temperature of 600°C in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn situ Shear Tests of Soil Samples with Grass Roots in Alpine EnvironmentE. Comino, A. DruettaProblem statement: The presence of vegetation increases the soil burden stability along slopes and reduces soil erosion. Its contribution is due to mechanical (reinforcing soil shear resistance) and hydrologic controls on streambank and superficial landslides. This study presented the results carried out from experimental in situ test focused to study the increased shear resistance of soil blocks due to root-reinforcement. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Organoclay from Sodium Montmorillonite and Fatty Hydroxamic AcidsWisam H. Hoidy, Mansor B. Ahmad, Emad A. Jaffar Al Mulla, Nor Azowa Bt IbrahimProblem statement: Sodium Montmorillonite (Na-MMT) has been modified via cation exchange reaction using Fatty Hydroxamic Acids (FHAs) synthesized from palm oil as a surfactant to produce organoclay which is used to prepare polymer nanocomposites. Approach: Basal spacing, functional groups identification and thermal stability of this Organo-Montmorillonite (OMMT) were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 9,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpedance Analysis of Heat Treated Polyethylene Oxide Polymeric Material for a Neural Storage ApplicationMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: From the early days of, researchers have developed electronic models of neurons designed to emulate neural behavior with electrical signals that mimic in some ways the measured potentials of biological neurons. Researchers interested in fabricating artificial neurons have long sought a simple and techniques to produce devices that efficiently store synaptic weights, which is behind holding a particular … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Existence, Uniqueness and Error Bounds of Approximation Splines Interpolation for Solving Second-Order Initial Value ProblemsAbbas Y. Al Bayati, Rostam K. Saeed, Faraidun K. Hama-SalhProblem statement: The lacunary interpolation problem, which we had investigated in this study, consisted in finding the six degree spline S(x) of deficiency four, interpolating data given on the function value and third and fifth order in the interval [0,1]. Also, an extra initial condition was prescribed on the first derivative. Other purpose of this construction was to solve the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Simplified Fast Transversal Filter Type Algorithm for Adaptive FilteringMadjid Arezki, Ahmed Benallal, Daoud BerkaniProblem statement: In this study, we proposed a new algorithm M-SMFTF for adaptive filtering with fast convergence and low complexity. Approach: It was the result of a simplified FTF type algorithm, where the adaptation gain was obtained only from the forward prediction variables and using a new recursive method to compute the likelihood variable. Results: The computational complexity was reduced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Performance of Latent Root-M based RegressionHabshah Midi, Lau Ung HuaProblem statement: In the presence of multicollinearity, the estimation of parameters in multiple linear regression models by means of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is known to suffer severe distortion. An alternative approach was to use the modified OLS which was based on the latent roots and latent vectors of the correlation matrix of the independent and dependent variables. This procedure … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of UPFC-Based Stabilizer and PSS Performances on Damping of Power System OscillationsM. R. Meshkatoddini, M. Majidi, M. Sadeghierad, H. LesaniThis paper establishes the linearized Phillips-Heffron model of a power system equipped with UPFC and demonstrates the application of the model in analyzing the damping effect of the UPFC and designing UPFC based stabilizer to improve power system oscillation stability.
