Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Cost Effective and User Friendly Approach to Design Wireline Formation TestsClara Bertolini, Giuseppe Tripaldi, Elena Manassero et al.Problem statement: Wireline formation testing (also named Mini-DSTs) are gaining more and more popularity as a possible alternative to conventional well testing especially where there are major environmental and economical constraints. The increased offshore exploration activity, which often implies highly risky and huge operational costs, makes the conventional well testing less attractive in favor of other technologies that can provide … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling of Biological Processes by Using Membrane Computing FormalismRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. ZinProblem statement: Membrane computing has structural resemblance with the cell structure. This characteristic provides the versatility in the modeling of biological processes. Approach: This study was carried to discuss the membrane computing formalism in modeling biological processes by analyzing two examples: Photosynthesis in chloroplast and Sodium-Potassium exchange pump. Results: The modeling of these two examples showed membrane computing formalism has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Health Risk of Formaldehyde to Human BeingsS. Norliana, A. S. Abdulamir, F. Abu Bakar, A. B. SallehProblem statement: Formaldehyde was classified as a potential human carcinogen, identified by the US Environmental Protection Agency and International Agency for Research on Cancer as a Class 2A carcinogen. It also can cause irritation to human. However, formaldehyde present in biological fluids or tissues and environment as a result of natural processes or from man-made sources and can be emitted … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 15,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCSCW for Preparing Formal Software Specifications: Issues and ImplementationMohamed A. Sullabi, Zarina ShukurIn this study, we concern with how a group of rectifiers can be worked on preparing and producing correct formal software specification and how can they communicate with each other. To address these subjects, we come into view of two different issues, collaborative issues and formal specification issues. Each of these issues is taken into consideration when we propose the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimizing Nano-silver Formation by Fusarium oxysporum PTCC 5115 Employing Response Surface MethodologyM. Karbasian, S. M. Atyabi, S. D. Siadat et al.Fusarium oxysporum was grown in medium containing malt, yeast extracts and glucose on shaker at 25±1°C and180 rpm for 96 h. The mycelia were used to convert silver nitrate solution into nano-silver. The bioconversion was optimized through response surface methodology-central composite design .The factors which affected the process were pH, temperature, agitation rate, concentration of silver nitrate, time of reaction … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Recurrence Formula for Computing the Derivative of Composition of FunctionsA. A. TaaniA new recursion formula for computing the n-th derivative of the composition of two functions has been introduced in this contribution. The importance of this new formula is associated with its counterpart; Leibniz rule for finding the n-th derivative of the product of two functions. Furthermore the process of computing this formula has been presented in algorithmic format herein. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTen Common Misunderstandings, Misconceptions, Persistent Myths and Urban Legends about Likert Scales and Likert Response Formats and their AntidotesJames Carifio, Rocco J. PerlaA recent article by Jamieson in Medical Education outlined some of the (alleged) abuses of "Likert scales" with suggestions about how researchers can overcome some of the (alleged) methodological pitfalls and limitations[1]. However, many of the ideas advanced in the Jamison article, as well as a great many of articles it cited, and similar recent articles in medical, health, psychology, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 53,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFormal Validation of the Safety Property of Sack Protocol Using Theorem Proving TechniqueZ. Shukur, N. Alias, M. H. Mohamed Halip, B. IdrusThis paper demonstrates the formal validation process of safety properties of Selective ACKnowledgment (SACK) protocol. SACK is a complex communication protocol as it is used in various types of distributed computer systems and networks. This acknowledgment mechanism is used with sliding window protocol that allows the receiver to acknowledge packets received out of order, but within the correct sliding window. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAtomic Absorption Spectrometric Determination of Certain Fluoroquinolones in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and in Biological FluidsH. Salem, W. Khater, L. FadaSimple, accurate, sensitive and selective methods are described for the quantitative determination of ten fluoroquinolones (amifloxacin, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, difloxacin hydrochloride, enoxacin, enrofloxacin, lomefloxacin hydrochloride, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin and pefloxacin mesylate). The methods are based on precipitation of the ion associates formed from the reaction of the cited drugs with silver nitrate, copper acetate and ferric chloride. The formation and solubility … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Slope Assessment Systems for Predicting Landslides of Cut Slopes in Granitic and Meta-sediment FormationsSuhaimi Jamaludin, Bujang B.K. Huat, Husaini OmarIn Malaysia, slope assessment systems (SAS) are widely used in assessing the instability of slope or the probability of occurrence and the likely severity of landslides. These SAS can be derived based on either one particular approach or combination of several approaches of landslide assessments and prediction. This study overviews four slope assessment systems (SAS) developed in Malaysia for predicting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,912 accessesView PDFCite
