Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINVESTIGATING EFFECTS OF AMINE BASED MODIFIER ON RECYCLED ASPHALT SHINGLES BLENDINGGovinda Sedhay, Elham H. Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehA laboratory study was conducted to investigate the effects of Amine based modifier on rheological characteristics of particle filled viscous medium such as asphalt binder in presence of Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS). In this study, virgin asphalt binder (PG 64-22), three different percentages (20, 30 and 40%) of tear-off shingles and modifiers; Rediset, Evotherm and Bio-binder were used. The tear-off … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2014 · 8,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability of Hydraulic Conductivity Due to Multiple FactorsSanjit K. Deb, Manoj K. ShuklaSoil properties are greatly influenced by intrinsic factors of soil formation as well as extrinsic factors associated with land use and management and vary both in time and space. Intrinsic variability is caused by the pedogenesis and usually takes place at large time scales. The variability caused by extrinsic factors could take effect relatively quickly and could not be treated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 13 Aug 2012 · 10,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Relationship between Organizational Social Capital and Service Quality in Teaching HospitalsFereshteh Farzianpour, Abass Rahimi Fouroshani, Reza Gholi Vahidi et al.Problem statement: In modern age, the service quality and sensitivity towards better qualified service are among the priorities of the global community. Quality is defined as the customer’s desire and the customer’s perceptions and expectations constitute the key factor determining quality. The issue of quality is particularly important in healthcare service. Nowadays, alongside the human, financial and economic capitals, a … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 7,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural Network Based Model for Forecasting Sugar Cane ProductionO. O. Obe, D. K. ShangodoyinProblem statement: The global need for alternative energy source has necessitated the exploration of vast organic agricultural products with a view of processing them for the production of ethanol in commercial quantity. To ascertain a sustainable production of ethanol from processed sugar cane, a predictive model based on non-linearity nature of its production is imperative. This is due to unavailability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,268 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Sarawak Bario Rice Diversity Using Microsatellite MarkersS. C. Wong, P. H. Yiu, S. T. W. Bong et al.Problem statement: There are numerous claims on varieties of Bario rice cultivars in Sarawak. Many of them might be synonyms or homonyms. This preliminary study was to differentiate Bario Rice cultivars using microsatellite molecular markers. Approach: Microsatellite marker panels distributed on all 12 chromosomes on rice genome were employed to study 8 Bario rice cultivars in Sarawak. Results: Current study … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHost Plant Mediated Population Variations of Cotton Whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Aleyrodidae: Homoptera) Characterized with Random DNA MarkersYasodha Perumal, Murugan Marimuthu, Abida Puthenpeedikal Salim, Balasubramanian PonnusamyProblem statement: Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci is an important sucking pest of field, horticultural and ornamental plants causing feeding injuries besides spreading disease by acting as a vector of Gemini viruses. The polyphagous nature of the pest makes it as a highly complex species. Approach: The influence of host plants utilized by the species on the population differences at molecular level … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal Time Implementation of NARMA-L2 Control of a Single Link ManipulatorS.S. Mokri, H. Husain, W. Martono, A. ShafieNonlinearities and parametric uncertainties are unavoidable problems faced in controlling robot manipulator. A single link manipulator driven by a permanent magnet brushed dc motor is a nonlinear dynamics due to effects of gravitational force, mass of the payload, posture of the manipulator and viscous friction coefficient. Furthermore, uncertainties arise because of changes of the rotor resistance with temperature and random … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Temporal Yield Trend of Oil Palm as Influenced by Nitrogen Fertilizer ManagementAbdul Rahim Anuar, Kah Joh Goh, Tee Bee Heoh, Osumanu Haruna AhmedOne of the major challenges in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations today is proper interpretation of yield maps for site-specific management and identification and understanding of the causal factors influencing the variability of oil palm yields. A study was conducted to examine the structural yield variation in order to assess the spatial and temporal yield trends so as to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Variability of Soil Inorganic N in a Mature Oil Palm Plantation in Sabah, MalaysiaAbdul Rahim Anuar, Kah Joh Goh, Tee Bee Heoh, Osumanu Haruna AhmedThe identification and understanding of soil factors influencing yield variability of oil palm enable their efficient management. Soil samples were therefore collected from a fertilizer response trial on oil palm to study the spatial inorganic N distribution and some selected soil chemical properties as affected by long-term N fertilizer applications. The experiment was conducted on mature oil palms grown on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,686 accessesView PDFCite
