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 abstractA Modular Architecture for Anaphora ResolutionAllaoua RefoufiAnaphora resolution attempts to determine the correct antecedent of an anaphor (the term pointing back). In what follows, we propose an algorithm for the resolution of anaphoric pronouns that relies on lexical and syntactic knowledge incorporated in a modular approach based on constraints and preferences. Our objective was to find the correct antecedent to the following subject pronouns (il, ils, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,072 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransducer for Tension Force Measuring of Strip MaterialsEmad Said AddasiIn winding-up motor drive systems, such as that used in textile industry, it is very important to get a constant tension force for the winding strip material (thread) and to reduce its oscillations. This study recommends a transducer with a special design to be used in the mentioned motor drive systems. By using a piston damper, spring, levers, slider and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,967 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
