Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn Vitro Prevention of Browning in Plantain CultureInnocent Chimereze Onuoha, Chinonye Jemimah Eze, Chibuikem I.N. UnambaProblem statement: The in vitro propagation of plantain (Musa paradisiaca) is still faced with lots of challenges such as blackening or browning of tissues prior to culture due to the oxidation of phenolic compound by polyphenolic oxidase enzyme present in the tissue when excised. Approach: Understanding browning processes in plantain and possible ways of minimizing it during excision of explants … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 15,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAuthenticated Broadcast in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks using Chinese Remainder Theorem AlgorithmKalyani Palanisamy, ChellappanProblem statement: The security in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is a critical issue due to the inherent limitations of computational capacity, storage capacity and power usage. Key management only makes sure the communicating nodes possess the necessary keys, at the same time protecting the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the communicated data. Approach: Proposed a RSA-CRT methodology for authenticated broadcast … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 6,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePlasma Thyroid Hormone Concentrations and pH Values of Some GI-Tract Segments of Broilers Fed on Different Dietary Citric Acid and Microbial Phytase LevelsRouhollah Nourmohammadi, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, Hamed Saraee, Alireza ArabProblem statement: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of microbial phytase supplementation and citric acid on thyroid activity, relative weight of lymphoid organs and pH values of some GI-tract segments in broiler chickens fed corn-soybean meal based diets. Approach: The data was analyzed using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement of 3×3, three levels of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,323 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstimating the Parameters of the Negative-Lindley Distribution using Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-ShannoNaushad Mamode KhanProblem statement: The Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) technique is the most efficient statistical approach to estimate parameters in a cross-sectional model. Often, MLE gives rise to a set of non-linear systems of equations that need to be solved iteratively using the Newton-Raphson technique. However, in some situations such as in the Negative-Lindley distribution where it involves more than one unknown … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Citric Acid and Microbial Phytase on Growth Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Broiler ChickensRouhollah Nourmohammadi, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, Homayoun FarhangfarProblem statement: The aim of this study was to investigated the effects of adding citric acid and microbial phytase supplementation (Natuphos®) on growth performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens fed corn soybean meal base diets. Approach: The experiment included nine treatments with 10 birds in each replicate using a 3×3 factorial design for two main factors of citric acid … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,301 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReliable and Efficient Broadcasting in Asymmetric Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using Minimized Forward Node List AlgorithmMarimuthu Murugesan, Ammasai KrishnanProblem statement: Network wide broadcasting is a fundamental operation in ad hoc networks. In broadcasting, a source node sends a message to all the other nodes in the network. Unlike in a wired network, a packet transmitted by a node in ad hoc wireless network can reach all neighbors. Therefore, the total number of transmissions (Forwarding nodes) used as the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2010 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Reproductive Tract of the Males of the Zoophytophagous Predator Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) with Different Diets and AgesWalkymario de Paulo Lemos, Rafael Coelho Ribeiro, Francisco de Sousa Ramalho et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is a common and important species for the biological control of defoliating Lepidoptera caterpillars. Although it has a predatory feeding habit, this species make use of plant resources, which are essential for the maintenance of its population in laboratory colonies as well as in the field during periods of prey shortage. Thus … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Enzyme Supplementation on Performance, Carcass characteristics, Carcass Composition and Some Blood Parameters of Broiler ChickenH. HajatiProblem statement: Endogenous enzymes of broilers cannot adequately digest nonstarch polysaccharides and subsequently the ingestion of high levels of soluble NSP leads to increased digesta viscosity and reduced nutrient digestibility and absorption. Supplementation of NSPs degrading enzymes may remove the anti nutritive effects of NSPs and release some nutrients (starch, protein) from these elements. Therefore, in a completely randomized design … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Supplemental Fat to Low Metabolizable Energy Diets on Cholesterol and Triglyceride Contents of Broiler MeatMansour Rezaei, Atena MonfarediProblem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Alternative Scaling Factor In Broyden's Class Methods for Unconstrained OptimizationMuhammad Fauzi bin Embong, Mustafa bin Mamat, Mohd Rivaie, Ismail bin MohdProblem statement: In order to calculate step size, a suitable line search method can be employed. As the step size usually not exact, the error is unavoidable, thus radically affect quasi-Newton method by as little as 0.1 percent of the step size error. Approach: A suitable scaling factor has to be introduced to overcome this inferiority. Self-scaling Variable Metric algorithms … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2010 · 7,696 accessesView PDFCite
