Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characterization and Variation in the Total Content of Reducing Sugars in Wild Populations of Agave angustifolia HawMartin Esqueda, Aldo Gutierrez, Guadalupe Palomino et al.Problem statement: Bacanora, a spirit, is distilled from wild populations of Agave angustifolia Haw. Loss of biodiversity must be taken into account when proposing sustainable management actions for this resource. In this study we identified the morphological variants of this species, as well as the weight and Total Content of Reducing Sugars (TRS) in the stem of the agave. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 8,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntrahydrogen Bonding and Transition States Between Enol and Enethiol Tautomers in β-ThioxoketonesBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. Elias, Ebraheem Abdu MusadProblem statement: Hydrogen bonding is one of the most important concepts in chemistry because it is crucial to understand many different interactions both in gas phase and in condensed media. A particular subset is presented by the intramolecular hydrogen bonds where two ends of the same molecule interact, resulting in a ringlike structure. Approach: The study involved theoretical investigation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSRBIR: Semantic Region Based Image Retrieval by Extracting the Dominant Region and Semantic LearningI. Felci Rajam, S. ValliProblem statement: The Semantic Region Based Image Retrieval (SRBIR) system that automatically segments the dominant foreground region, consisting of the semantic concept of the image, such as elephants, roses and does the semantic learning, is proposed. Approach: The system segments an image into different regions and finds the dominant foreground region in it, which is the semantic concept of that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 7,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplications of Conditional Value at Risk to Full Truckload Pricing Under Demand and Service Time UncertaintiesThitima Wonginta, Sompong SirisoponsilpProblem statement: Pricing is one of the fundamental management decisions required by a truckload carrier. Traditional pricing based on an average all relevant costs including fixed and variable costs is not capable of providing adequate margins that prevent losses during operation uncertainties inherent in truckload operation including demand variability and variation in service times. Approach: This study utilizes Conditional Value … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2011 · 8,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHealth Impacts Estimation of Mineralogical and Chemical Characterization of Suspended Atmospheric Particles over the East DesertU. Ali Rahoma, Elsayed EmaraProblem statement: The small size fraction of aerosols, measured as PM10 and PM2.5, rather than the larger particles, is considered to be responsible for most of the health effects. Such particles have a relatively long residence time in the atmosphere and can therefore travel over long distances. Hence, a large portion of ambient concentrations of PM10 and in particular of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIterative Channel Estimation Algorithm in Multiple Input Multiple Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing SystemsMona Nasseri, Hamidreza BakhshiProblem statement: The objective of this study is improving channel estimation accuracy in MIMO-OFDM system because channel state information is required for signal detection at receiver and its accuracy affects the overall performance of system and it is essential to improve the channel estimation for more reliable communications. MIMO-OFDM system was chosen in this study because it has been widely … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Information Overload on Brazilian E-ConsumersRafael Lucian, Salomão Alencar de FariasProblem statement: E-commerce is a reality; Companies must consider this media as an important trade channel without distances between products and consumers. A key issue of e-commerce is how companies are disclosing information to its customers. This study aims to measure if there is relationship between the information overload in the virtual environment and the response of satisfaction and confusion … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Average Contour of Thais Skulls for Design of ImplantsKhemachit Sena, Surasith PiyasinIn this study, 100 dry skulls of Thais collected at the Srinagarind Hospital in Khon Kaen, Thailand were CT scanned and served for the investigation of the geometric average contour of Thais skulls. Moreover, measurements of distances between landmark points on skulls (cranial anthropometry) were made with this set of skulls for future standardization of skull implants. Thus the main … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecreasing Overhead and Power Consuming in Ad-Hoc Networks by Proposal a Novel Routing AlgorithmA. Barati, A. Movaghar, H. Barati, A. Azizi MazreahAn Ad-Hoc network has been constructed from a fabric of mobile nodes intercom connected by temporary wireless links. Nodes located beyond a single hop are reached using intermediate neighbors to forward messages over long distances. The problem with this method of communication is that mobility causes the network topology to be unstable. Traditional solutions maintain routes by exchanging information when … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Fasteners Disposition on Behaviour of Timber-Framed Walls with Double Fibre-Plaster Coating BoardsM.Kuhta, M.PremrovThis paper provides experimental analysis of timber-framed walls, coated with double fibre-plaster coating boards fastened to the timber frame. As the walls under a horizontal load actually behave like a deep composite beam, the fasteners disposition is very important and directly influences bearing capacity and stiffness of the wall. Therefore, three different groups of test samples with staple distances of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
