Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProspects of Wind Farm Development in AlgeriaY. Himri, A. Boudghene Stambouli, B. DraouiThis study utilized wind speed data over a period of almost 10 years between 1977 and 1988 from three stations, namely Adrar, Timimoun and Tindouf in order to assess the energy output for a 30 MW installed capacity wind farm at each site in Algeria, in terms of gross energy, renewable energy delivered, specific yield and wind farm capacity factor. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Concentration Levels from the Mina Al-Fahal Refinery in Oman Using Artificial Neural NetworksSabah A. Abdul-Wahab, Saleh M. Al-AlawiIn this investigation, two Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were applied for predicting ground-level sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the Sultanate of Oman in order to provide an early warning advisory for the protection of public health. The objective of the first model (Model I) was to use ANN to predict sulfur dioxide (SO2) levels at certain receptors from the Mina … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Trends in Ozone and Particle Concentrations in the Sydney (Australia) AirshedMerched Azzi, Hiep DucAn overview is presented of changes in ground level ozone and atmospheric fine particles determined using ambient monitoring data collected at selected locations in Sydney, Australia. After removing seasonally, auto-regressive and moving average dependence from the selected time series, the trend of a selected series was modelled using the fractional long-term dependent component. The selected technique was able to detect … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransforming Spatio-Temporal Yield Maps to Classified Management Zone Maps for Efficient Management of Oil PalmAbdul Rahim Anuar, Kah Joh Goh, Tee Bee Heoh, Osumanu Haruna AhmedOne of the major challenges in oil palm plantations today is proper interpretation of yield maps for site-specific management and development of classified management zone maps for its efficient management. A study was conducted on an on-going fertilizer response trial in Sabah, Malaysia to examine the possibility of converting spatio-temporal yield maps of oil palm to classified management zone maps … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Temporal Yield Trend of Oil Palm as Influenced by Nitrogen Fertilizer ManagementAbdul Rahim Anuar, Kah Joh Goh, Tee Bee Heoh, Osumanu Haruna AhmedOne of the major challenges in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations today is proper interpretation of yield maps for site-specific management and identification and understanding of the causal factors influencing the variability of oil palm yields. A study was conducted to examine the structural yield variation in order to assess the spatial and temporal yield trends so as to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInclusion Identification by Inverse Application of Boundary Element Method, Genetic Algorithm and Conjugate Gradient MethodMahmud Khodadad, Mohsen Dashti ArdakaniCharacterization of the interior of an inhomogeneous body using displacement measurements obtained by conducting a simple tension test was investigated. A homogeneous elastic solid body is assumed to have another solid body with arbitrary shape hidden inside it. The shape and physical properties of this inclusion were unknown. The Boundary Element Method (BEM) coupled with a mete heuristic Genetic Algorithm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Serviceability Considerations of HSC Heavily Steel Reinforced Members under BendingAli Akbar Maghsoudi, Yasser SharifiTo investigate the serviceability conditions of High Strength Concrete (HSC) beams, the total number of 6 beams (L = 2 m, b = 0.2 m, h = 0.3 m) heavily reinforced with different ratios of ρ and ρ' were cast and tested under bending load. During the test the concrete and steel strains, deflection and crack width are measured at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeed Germination and Seedling Survival of Spartina alterniflora LoiselPatrick D. Biber, John D. CaldwellSpartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) is a widespread intertidal salt marsh plant that is frequently used in coastal restoration projects. Seeds collected in 2004 were tested for seed germination and seedling survival after 6 months of cold seed storage to determine differences among collection locations (experiment 1). Seeds collected in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, were tested for seed germination and seedling … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioinhbition of Diarrhogenic Gram-negative Bacteria using the Tukey-HSD TestAdenike A.O. Ogunshe, J.O. OlaomiA variety of probiotics show promise as effective therapies in the control of diarrhoea, however, diets and geographical locations affect probiotic therapy. In this pilot study, four indigenous probiotic candidates, Lactobacillus acidophilus AAOOL4, L. reuteri AAOOCH1, L. plantarum AAOO25NN and L. delbrueckii AAOOT20 were investigated for their in vitro bactericidal effects on bacterial pathogens implicated in infantile diarrhoea using the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Thermal Contact using Nonlinear System Identification ModelsM.H. Shojaeefard, K. Goudarzi, A.R. Noorpoor, M. FazelpourOne interesting application of system identification method is to identify and control the heat transfer from the exhaust valve to the seat to keep away the valve from being damaged. In this study, two co-axial cylindrical specimens are used as exhaust valve and its seat. Using the measured temperatures at different locations of the specimens and with a semi-analytical method, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
