Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCTSS: A Tool for Efficient Information Extraction with Soft Matching Rules for Text MiningA. Christy, P. ThambiduraiThe abundance of information available digitally in modern world had made a demand for structured information. The problem of text mining which dealt with discovering useful information from unstructured text had attracted the attention of researchers. The role of Information Extraction (IE) software was to identify relevant information from texts, extracting information from a variety of sources and aggregating it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTraditional Aquaculture Practice at East Calcutta Wetland: The Safety AssessmentS. Raychaudhuri, M. Mishra, S. Salodkar et al.The current study is on East Calcutta Wetland (ECW) which is a model for multi-use resource recovery system with activities like pisciculture and agriculture. The entire city's soluble waste is disposed into the raw sewage canals which finally drains into the shallow, flat bottom fish ponds called Bheri. These sewage fed fisheries act simultaneously for the purification process like removal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 9,442 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Assessment of Hydroponically Grown Cereal Crops for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater and the Production of Fish FeedA. M. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, A. SnowHydroponically grown wheat, barley and oats were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. Wheat, barley and oats seeds were germinated in water in a hydroponics system. The seedlings then received wastewater from an aquaculture system stocked with Arctic charr. During the experiment, the crops grew rapidly and fairly uniformly and showed no signs of mineral deficiency … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Metal Mercury Levels in Residential Homes in KuwaitL. AL-Awadi, A. R. Khan, R. Al-KandariKuwait is an oil rich state on the northeastern corner of Arabian Peninsula and has faced the unprecedented man made environmental disaster in early 1991 of igniting over 600 oil wells those continually burnt for a period of over six months. The use of crude and heavy fuel oil in the power generating facilities has aggravated the pollution due to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Assessment of Ambient Air Quality in Rabia Area for Years 2001 and 2004 in the State of KuwaitBader N. Al-Azmi, V. Nassehi, A. R. KhanThe hourly air pollutants concentrations were measured continuously by fixed ambient air stations located over the polyclinics in Rabia area in Capital Governorate in the State of Kuwait. The focus of this investigation is to determine the pollution levels of SO2, NO2 and O3 in year 2001 and 2004 to assess the pollution trends. The recorded data are used in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal Emissions from Flaring in Kuwait OilfieldsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, A. R. KhanKuwait is a major oil producing country and its economy directly depends on its export of crude and refined products. Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is responsible for all exploration and production of crude oil in Kuwait. These activities result in the emission of gaseous pollutants to the atmosphere, particularly from the flaring of undesirable product and excess gases. For environmental … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 8,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal SO2 Emissions from Power Stations and Evaluation of their Impact in Kuwait Using a Gaussian Plume Dispersion ModelA.A. Ramadan, M. Al-Sudairawi, S. Alhajraf, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, most of the power stations use fuel oil as the prime source of energy. The sulphur content (S%) of the fuel used as well as other factors have a direct impact on the ground level concentration of sulphur dioxide (SO2) released by power stations into the atmosphere. The SO2 ground level concentration has to meet the environmental standards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Estimator-Based Wireless Traffic Control SchemesFrancis Joseph Ogwu, Mohammad Talib, Ganiyu Adesola AderounmuRecent works on Available Bit Rate (ABR) traffic control have generated efficient control schemes for ABR traffic on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. This study examines the improved performance envisaged if these control schemes adjust dynamically to the varying ABR bandwidth capacity in a stochastic manner instead of conventional deterministic approach .The performance difference between setting explicit rate deterministically for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmbient Levels of Primary and Secondary Pollutants in a Residential Area: Population Risk and Hazard Index Calculation over a Three Years Study PeriodS. Al-Salem, A. Al-FadhleeThis paper aims at presenting data collected over the period of three years (2004-2006) in a residential area in the state of Kuwait. The data collected include ambient levels of primary and secondary pollutants with a number of metrological parameters. A series of unfiltered and filtered concentration roses were plotted to determine the predominant sources as well as the prevailing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Aware Optimal Routing for Wireless Sensor NetworksS. Chandramathi, U. Anand, T. Ganesh et al.Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of autonomous devices with computational, sensing, and wireless communication capabilities. The sensor nodes are low cost, multi-functional devices that are densely deployed either inside the phenomenon or very close to it and are often powered by independent power sources. The lifetime of such sensor nodes show a strong dependence on lifetime of the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,649 accessesView PDFCite
