Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Takeoff Angle of Bucket Type Energy Dissipater on Scour HoleNor Azlina Alias, Thamer Ahmed Mohamed, Abdul Halim Ghazali, Megat Johari Megat Mohd. NoorScour holes formed downstream of bucket type energy dissipater may affect the safety and stability of the structure. In this study, a physical model is employed to study the impact of takeoff angle of bucket type energy dissipater on the scour hole. The area of longitudinal profile of the scour hole is used to evaluate the seriousness of the scour … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 8,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGamma Radiosensitivity Study on Chili (Capsicum annuum)Shairul Rizdiyandi Omar, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Shaharudin Saamin, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidInduced mutation by gamma irradiation has been found to be a very useful technique for crop improvement. Apart from this, the proper use of induced mutation in plant breeding has become a profitable approach. This investigation was carried out to determine the LD50 and effect of gamma rays on germination, plant height, survival percentage, root length, root dry weight and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 9,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNecessary Geomorphologic Information For Roads Safety, With Emphasize Soleghan Road In West Of Tehran, IranEbrahim MoghimiThis paper review some of the aspects of necessary disciplines of geomorphology and roads, with emphasize Soleghan road. For building this road didn’t consider geomorphology process carefully. so the safety rang of the road is low and with consider to increasing traffic, the rang of danger is high. Specific subjects are related to the description of slops phenomena, including rock … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison Between Biological Treatment and Chemical Precipitation for Nitrogen Removal from Old Landfill LeachateLong Tengrui, Anas F. Al-Harbawi, He Qiang, Zhai JunThe study reports the results of a laboratory scale investigation aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of mature municipal landfill leachate treatment by a biological stage (used SBBR as a biological treatment) and Chemical precipitation (Used MAP precipitation (magnesium ammonium phosphate)) to study the nitrogen removal capabilities for treatment of sanitary landfill leachate containing high ammonia concentration, and the comparison between … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSociopolitical Instability and Economic Growth Empirical Evidence from Sri LankaChangsheng Xu, Santhirasegaram Selvarathinam, Wen Xing LiSociopolitical instability severely affects economic growth in short and long run. This study analyzes that sociopolitical instability measured by proxy measure; annual growth rate of tourist arrivals in Sri Lanka during 1960-2005 adversely affects economic growth. Our empirical findings based on ordinary lease square econometric estimation, show that sociopolitical instability negatively and significantly affect economic growth. Reduction of economic growth … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,879 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Economic Perspective of Kaesong Industrial Complex in North KoreaSeok YoonConstructing of Kaesong industrial complex in North Korea is led by private enterprises such as Hyundai group, under the agreement of two Korean governments. So far the constructing of Kaesong industrial complex operates well with the agreement of 'Inter-Korean Economic Cooperation Promotion Committee'. There are some grounds that should be preceded for Kaesong industrial complex in North Korea to get … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,366 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 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Flight Control Design for a Turn Coordination System with Parameter UncertaintiesAri Legowo, Hiroshi OkuboThis paper presents a method of robust control system design for aircraft flight control systems with the existence of uncertainty parameters such as stability and control derivatives resulted by parameter identification process using real flight test data. A nonlinear model of aircraft turn coordination system is considered where the problem is to find the optimal controller by using the H∞ … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrology and Origin of Ultramfic Xenoliths from North Eastern Jordan VolcanoesHassan Al-Fugha, Mazen AL-AmairehThe distribution of major, minor and trace elements in the Cenozoic alkali basalt from north-eastern Jordan indicates a homogeneous lava flow from a mantle source. These basaltic rocks contain abundant upper mantle xenoliths (spinal lherzolite, harzburgile and olivine- websterite). Theses xenoliths contain olivine, orthopyroxne, clinoporoxene and a few amounts of spinal. Their mineral assemblages, chemistry, texture and major elements abundances … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics of Nitrogen Removal from Old Landfill Leachate by Sequencing Batch Biofilm ReactorLong Tengrui, Anas F. Al-Harbawi, Lin Ming Bo et al.Municipal landfill leachate is a high strength wastewater characterized by high concentrations of organics and ammonia and potentially containing toxic materials.
