Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow (Un)biased are Airport Security Screening Procedures? A Social-Cognitive ExperimentPoornima Madhavan, Jeremy R. BrownProblem statement: This research examined the role that social-cognitive biases such as gender biases and racial biases play in decision making processes during the screening of carry-on luggage at airports. This research is unique in that no research so far has addressed the social-psychological underpinnings of airport security screening procedures. Approach: Participants (n = 36) performed a computer simulated task … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMineralogy and Chemistry of Coronadite from Middle Cambrian Manganese Deposits at Wadi Dana, Southern JordanAhmad Al-Malabeh, Tayel El-HasanCoronadite was reported from the upper-most horizons of the Middle Cambrian sediments at two locations in Wadi Dana, central Wadi Araba and Jordan. The unit is composed of dolomite, limestone and shale. Geochemical investigations show appreciable variations in Mn, Pb, Fe, K and Ba contents in the coronadite between the two studied sites. Pb was found to increase downward in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Simulated Annealing For Optimal Operation of Multi-Reservoir SystemsF. Khodabakhshi, A. R. Ghirian, N. KhakzadThe need to optimize the operation of water reservoirs is an issue that is becoming increasingly a concern for water resources planners in developing countries. This issue particularly becomes more significant in large systems with multiple reservoirs where operation of one reservoir has an impact on the others. In other word, the set of reservoirs in these systems act like … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength and Ductility of Randomly Distributed Palm Fibers Reinforced Silty-Sand SoilsS.M. Marandi, M.H. Bagheripour, R. Rahgozar, H. ZareThis paper investigates the resultant strength and ductility behavior when randomly distributed palm fibers are used to reinforce silty-sand soils. The composite soils were tested under laboratory conditions and examined for unconfined compression strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and compaction test. The results indicated that; the maximum and residual strengths, orientation of surface failures, ductility and the stress-strain relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,857 accessesView PDFCite
