Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy and Characteristics of different Methods of Coccidiosis Infection in Broiler ChickensM.A. Elmusharaf, H.E. Mohamed, A. Alhaidary, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: Different methods of experimental infection of broiler chickens with Eimeria species have been described in the literature. These methods had not been compared and contrasted so as to contribute to the selection of the most appropriate model of coccidiosis in broiler chickens. Identifying such a model was important to speed up the screening of potential coccidiostatics. Approach: In … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Dielectric Model for Polyvinyl Alcohol-Water Hydrogel at Microwave FrequenciesYou Kok Yeow, Zulkifly Abbas, Kaida Khalid, Mohamad Zaki Abdul RahmanProblem statement: The study described rigorous dielectric modeling for Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)-water hydrogel mixture at microwave frequencies. Approach: A commercial open-ended coaxial sensor was used to measure the dielectric constant, loss factor and ionic conductivity, σ of PVA-water hydrogel mixture ranging concentration of 80-100% water content. Results: The sensor was operating between 0.13 and 20 GHz at and above of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 9,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Models for Hardened Properties of Self-Compacting ConcreteArabi N.S. Al Qadi, Kamal Nasharuddin Bin Mustapha, Hashem Al-Mattarneh, Qahir N.S. AL-KadiProblem statement: For predicting workability and hardened properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) no well known explicit formulation. Approach: Statistical models were carried out to model the influence of key mixture parameter (cement, water to powder ratio, fly ash and super plasticizer) on hardened properties affecting the performance of SCC. Such responses included compressive strength at 3, 7 and 28 days … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,140 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPore Water Pressure Contribution to Debris Flow MobilityChiara DeangeliProblem statement: Debris flows are very to extremely rapid flows of saturated granular soils. Two main types of debris flow are generally recognized: Open slope debris flows and channelized debris flows. The former is the results of some form of slope failures, the latter can develop along preexisting stream courses by the mobilization of previously deposited debris blanket. The problem … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,588 accessesView PDFCite
