Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandom Amplified Polymorphic Dna-PCR Typing of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Isolated from Local Cockles (Anadara granosa)Lesley Maurice Bilung, Son Radu, Abdul Rani Bahaman et al.Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used in this study to examine the genetic relatedness among the Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains. In the analysis by RAPD-PCR, the size for RAPD fragments ranged from 0.25 to 10.0 kb with average number of ten bands. The RAPD profiles revealed a high level of DNA sequence diversity within the Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains tested. Hence, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 8,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis, the Causal Agent of Root Rot Disease of Greenhouse Cucurbits in Kerman Province of IranSara Shafii Bafti, Gholam H.S. Bonjar, Sonia Aghighi et al.Antagonistic activity of 178 soil actinomycete isolates was assayed against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis Schlecht, Emend (Snyde and Hansen) cause of root rot and fusarium wilt of greenhouse cucurbits in Kerman Province, southeast of Iran. From tested isolates, Streptomyces olivaceus (strain 115) showed anti-fusarium activity revealed through screening and bioassays by agar disk and well-diffusion methods. The active strain … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Successful Industrial Academic Cooperation, Development of Closed-cell Metallic FoamsSheng-Chung Tzeng, Chu-Wei Lin, Wei-Ping MaThis investigation proposes a successful case of industrial-academic cooperation between the Chienkuo Technology University and J. King Aluminum Inc. This study was proposed by the rotating machinery and heat transfer laboratory. They studied the optimal heat transfer and structural strength of closed-cell aluminum porous material.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsidering Environmental Externalities in Technology Selection: the Case of Urban Buses for AthensDimitrios A. GeorgakellosThe present study proposes a procedure for considering the environmental externalities in technology selection decision-making, based on the outcome of Life Cycle Assessments. Currently, even if there are several methods available for technology selection and purchasing, almost all of them seem to ignore the external cost associated with the candidates. The main features of the proposed model are its simplicity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite

MaThis study discusses a successful case of industrial-academic cooperation involving the technical university and the Ford Motor Company in Taiwan. The cooperation involved the exchange technical skills via industry-academic cooperation. Both sides have been cooperating since 1991. This study describes the process of how the cooperation was initiated with a small project, the interactions between the two parties and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDuration Modeling in Undergraduate Econometrics Curriculum via ExcelIsmail H. GencThe main goal of an Econometrics course is to prepare students for more advanced levels of study and make them able to cope with the empirical problems they are likely to face. In recent years, there has been a tendency to purge merely theoretical topics from the econometric textbooks by including only time honored methods. Survival analysis, however, has so … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Outlier Detection in Linear RegressionNethal K. Jajo, Xizhi WuNew methodology of robust outlier detection based on Robustly Studentized Robust Residuals (RSRR) examination is well established in linear regression analysis. Two new robust location estimators of linear regression parameters are developed in simple and multiple cases. Based on these robust estimators we obtain RSRR. We used RSRR to derive a new measure of distance to be used in outlier … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFurther Improvements in Temperature Calculation During Cooling of Fish PackagesF. A. Ansari, K. A. Abbas, J. Bakar et al.In an earlier study, it was demonstrated that the empirical approach used to calculate the surface film conductance resulted into a higher value compared to those obtained from the other methods available in the literature. During further investigations, surface film conductance values were found to gradually decrease with a fall in temperature. When this non-linear variation was used to develop … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,848 accessesView PDFCite
