Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Assessment of Ambient Air Quality in Rabia Area for Years 2001 and 2004 in the State of KuwaitBader N. Al-Azmi, V. Nassehi, A. R. KhanThe hourly air pollutants concentrations were measured continuously by fixed ambient air stations located over the polyclinics in Rabia area in Capital Governorate in the State of Kuwait. The focus of this investigation is to determine the pollution levels of SO2, NO2 and O3 in year 2001 and 2004 to assess the pollution trends. The recorded data are used in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Diabetic Activity of a Fraction from Cissus verticillata and Tyramine, its Main Bioactive Constituent, in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic RatsCleide de Sousa Lino, Thiago de P. Sales, Patrícia B. Gomes et al.Cissus verticillata (syn. C. sycioides, fam. Vitaceae) is a medicinal plant popularly used in Brazil, for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The anti-diabetic activity of a fraction from leaves of Cissus verticilllata (MSF, methanol soluble fraction), as well as that of tyramine (TYR) were investigated, in the model of alloxan-induced diabetes, in male Wistar rats. The biochemical parameters studied were: … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNucleation and Crystal Growth Rates of Struvite in DTM Type Crystallizer with a Jet-Pump of Descending Suspension Flow in a Mixing ChamberJoanna Koralewska, Krzysztof Piotrowski, Boguslawa Wierzbowska, Andrzej MatyniaThe kinetic data concerning reaction-crystallization of struvite from diluted water solutions of Mg2+, NH4+ and PO43- ions in a continuous DTM-type liquid jet-pump crystallizer with internal circulation of suspension are presented and discussed. The measurements were performed with the assumption of minimal value of unit power of a jet-pump’s feeding stream, providing thus a minimal level of internal circulation intensity. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOpen Circuit Field Distribution and Induced Voltage of a Cylindrical Permanent Magnet Linear GeneratorWijono, Hamzah ArofThis paper deals with the analytical computation of the magnetic field of a cylindrical permanent magnet linear generator. It offers an alternative solution to the magnetic field problem. A new approach to solve Poisson equation using Struve function is introduced and it offers a simple but accurate analytical estimation to the calculation of the open circuit flux density and induced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Arabic Hand Written Text Recognition SystemIsmael Ahmad JannoudDespite of the decent development of the pattern recognition science applications in the last decade of the twentieth century and this century, text recognition remains one of the most important problems in pattern recognition. To the best of our knowledge, little work has been done in the area of Arabic text recognition compared with those for Latin, Chins and Japanese … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering Properties and Compressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat SoilYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper presents the engineering properties and compressibility behavior of various types of tropical peat soil collected from several locations in Malaysia. These soils represented fibric, hemic and sapric type of tropical peat with organic content ranging from 70% to 90%. The correlations of the various basic engineering properties of the tropical peat soils have been found to be close … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison of Different Image Sizes for Recognizing Unconstrained Handwritten Tamil Characters using SVMN. Shanthi, K. DuraiswamyThis study describes a system for recognizing offline handwritten Tamil characters using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Data samples are collected from different writers on A4 sized documents. They are scanned using a flat bed scanner at a resolution of 300 dpi and stored as grey scale images. Various preprocessing operations are performed on the digitized image to enhance the quality … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,012 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCholesterol Metabolism in Brain and Skin Fibroblasts from Sarda Breed Sheep With Scrapie-resistant and Scrapie-susceptible GenotypesAlessandra Pani, Claudia Abete, Claudia Norfo et al.Scrapie is a fatal spongiform encephalopathy of sheep, a transmissible form of prion disease caused by neuronal accumulation of the aberrantly conformed prion protein (PrPsc). Currently, no ante-mortem diagnostic tests are available to detect this untreatable disease in the pre-clinical stage, thus making difficult to control its spread. Recent evidence suggests that the production of PrPsc can be modulated by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeaching Computer Organization and Architecture Using Simulation and FPGA ApplicationsKasim M. Al-AubidyThis paper presents the design concepts and realization of incorporating micro-operation simulation and FPGA implementation into a teaching tool for computer organization and architecture. This teaching tool helps computer engineering and computer science students to be familiarized practically with computer organization and architecture through the development of their own instruction set, computer programming and interfacing experiments. A two-pass assembler has … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Performance of EPS Footing for Lightweight Farm Structure on Peat SoilMohammad Abdullah, Bujang B.K. Huat, Rezuwan Kamaruddin et al.The objective of this research project was to find a potential replacement for the conventional pile foundation principally for peat soil. It is fundamentally meant for lightweight and impermanent agricultural farm structures. Preceding the design and development of the foundation the physical characteristics of the in-situ peat such as; peat depth, soil consolidation, soil compressibility, water table, liquid limit, soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,244 accessesView PDFCite
