Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Oil Contamination on Geotechnical Properties of Basaltic Residual SoilZulfahmi Ali Rahman, Umar Hamzah, Mohd. Raihan Taha et al.Problem statement: Oil contamination due to accidental spillage or leakage brings hefty damage to the environments. It percolates steadily into subsurface environments and contaminates the soil and water system. Hydrocarbon contamination has not just affected the quality of the soil but will also alter the physical properties of oil-contaminated soil. Approach: This study presented the geotechnical properties of oil-contaminated soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 10,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSkin Images SegmentationAli El-ZaartProblem statement: Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many applications of image processing. Skin cancer has been the most common of all new cancers detected each year. At early stage detection of skin cancer, simple and economic treatment can cure it mostly. An accurate segmentation of skin images can help the diagnosis to define well the region of the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Jul 2010 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSusceptibility of Candida Species Isolated From HIV Infected and Newborn Candidaemia Patients to Amphotericin BSaikat Basu, Debasrita Chakraborty, Satadal DasProblem statement: HIV infected and neonatal candidaemia is a serious condition where proper selection of the antifungal agent is the key factor in the prognosis of the disease. Thus in this study susceptibility of Candida species to Amphotericin B was explored in such patients. Approach: Forty different Candida isolates obtained from blood culture of such candidaemia cases were tested for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,469 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeuristic Lemmatization for Arabic Texts Indexation and ClassificationFaten Khalfallah Hammouda, Abdelsalam Abdelhamid AlmarimiProblem statement: This study proposed a system based on a heuristic lemmatization for Arabic text indexation and classification. This research is needed for a lot of NLP applications such as the research of information and automatic abstract. This system was not related to any linguistic rule. The proposed method was limited to five different domains: Sports, medicine, politics, economics and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Signal Detection of Sensor Array Units Using 5-3-1 Rule Based Matched Filter Algorithm with Intelligent IdentifiersMahmoud Z. IskandaraniA novel approach to signal detection and identification was developed and tested. The new algorithm was based on provision of tagging a Matched Filter (MF) with identifiers to recognize the source signal with and without noise, so that classification can be carried out. The algorithm was applied successfully to chemical Sensor Array Units (SAU). Problem statement: Signals obtained from chemical … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFull Model Wind Tunnel Study on the Xia-Zhang Bridge Under Operation StageAyad Thabit Saeed, Zhang Liang Liang, Yang Zhuan Yun et al.Problem statement: Long-span cable-stayed bridges under service and particular construction conditions are very susceptible to wind action due to their great flexibility, so the aerodynamic stability is becoming a major concern in the design and construction phrases. Cable-stayed bridges may exhibit wind-induced vibration phenomena such as flutter, buffeting and vortex oscillation under wind excitation. The study concentrated on the issues … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Heterogeneity in Phase II Clinical TrialsChristopher N. Barnes, Shesh N. RaiProblem statement: The common assumption in non-randomized Phase II clinical trials is a homogeneous population with homogeneous response. This assumption is at odds with many trials today; a heterogeneous response due to the existence of subgroups. Approach: In order to examine the effects of heterogeneity on the trial outcome, a systematic platform is developed to quantify the range and classes … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrity Classification Algorithm of Images obtained from Impact Damaged Composite StructuresMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Many NDT systems used for damage detection in composites are difficult to apply to complex geometric structures, also, they are time-consuming. As a solution to the problems associated with NDT applications, an intelligent analysis system that supports a portable testing environment, which allowed various types of inputs and provided sufficient data regarding level of damage in a tested … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,972 accessesView PDFCite
