Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Air Entry Values on Hysteresis of Water Retention Curve in Saline SoilS. Konyai, V. Sriboonlue, V. Trelo-GesProblem statement: The saline soil in Northeast Thailand is caused by saline groundwater rise in unsaturated zone to accumulate as salt at soil surface. Approach: This problem had been exacerbated in the last few decades by human activities e.g., deforestation and salt mining. This salinity problem can be solved by capillary rise control of saline groundwater flow. Results: The soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Accuracy and Coverage of Data Mining Systems that are Built from Noisy Datasets: A New ModelLuai A. Al ShalabiProblem statement: Noise within datasets has to be dealt with under most circumstances. This noise includes misclassified data or information as well as missing data or information. Simple human error is considered as misclassification. These errors will decrease the accuracy of the data mining system so it will not be likely to be used. The objective was to propose an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,820 accessesView PDFCite
