Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Post-Mating Progesterone Supplement on Pregnancy and Lambing Rates of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Jomana F. HijaziThe objective of this experiment was to determine whether post-mating progesterone (P4) supplement improves pregnancy and lambing rates in ewes bred during the seasonal anestrous period. In June, 39 synchronized to estrus Awassi ewes were allowed with four harnessed fertile rams immediately following CIDR-G device removal (day 0 and 0 hour). Five days following ram introduction, ewes were randomly assigned … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHandover Outage Time Optimization in Heterogeneous NetworksS. LouvrosHandover is a very critical parameter in Cellular Networks. The outage handover time is a drawback for Quality of Service in wireless voice applications and heterogeneous cellular wireless networks. Apart from existing handover technique, a novel approach has been developed known as Network Assisted Handover improving the outage handover time and the fluctuations of data throughput. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSide Effects and Complications of Dental Materials on Oral CavityZahra Atai, Mohammad AtaiDevelopment of dental materials has had a great impact on the modern dentistry. The materials ranging from polymers to metals have different applications in dentistry. Besides their important role in healing or improving the function of oral tissues, the materials may show side effects which may, in some cases, lead to severe lesions. In this review the side effects have … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmploying New Mathematical Models and Equations to Evaluate Risk-Benefit Criteria of Clinical TherapeuticsDa Yong Lu, Ting Ren Lu, Jian DingCurrent preclinical and clinical evaluation of a drugs or therapy is at first to find out a maximum toxicity tolerance, which is overall fixed. The potential therapeutic dosage will be ranged just lower or within the periphery of these maximum tolerant data. A hidden acceptance among general researchers lies as the toxicity concentration of a drug is always the same … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Factors Affecting Environmental Behavior of Urban Residents: A Case Study in Tehran City- IranKhalil Kalantari, Hossein Shabanali Fami, Ali Asadi, H. Movahed MohammadiEnvironmental problems such as air and water pollution, urban garbage and climate changes in urban areas are the results of human behavior. Only change in human behavior can reduce these environmental problems. Thus studying attitude and behavior of people is a precondition to change this situation. So the main objective of this study was to find out individual and social … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRange Image Segmentation by Randomized Region Growing and Bayesian Edge RegularizationSmaine Mazouzi, Mohamed BatoucheWe presented and evaluated a new Bayesian method for range image segmentation. The method proceeds in to stages. First, an initial segmentation was produced by a randomized region growing technique. The produced segmentation was considered as a degraded version of the ideal segmentation, which should be then refined. In the second stage, image pixels not labeled in the first stage … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Aided Transient Stability AnalysisNihad M. Al-Rawi, Afaneen Anwar, Ahmed M. Abdul-MajeedA program for handling and improving the transient stability of the Iraqi Super Grid electrical network was developed. The idea was demonstrated by applying it to the outages of the main generating units. The methodology was built upon a state of increasing power transfer through the healthy portion of network during disturbances. There were three parts concerned; the first part … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTracking Error Analysis of a Rotation-Elevation Mode HeliostatOmar Aliman, Ismail Daut, Muzamir Isa, Mohd Rafi AdzmanFor the past few years, great efforts have been done in improving the tracking accuracy of a newly proposed rotation-elevation tracking mode heliostat. A special simulation program has been developed to systematically analyze the image movement and to find out the error of the parameters. In the simulation program, ray-tracing method was applied to work out the central point position … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Improvement and Deadlock Prevention for a Distributed Fault Diagnosis AlgorithmThabit S. MohammedThis research presents an overview to the issue of fault diagnosis in distributed systems and an evaluation study to some of the algorithms proposed in literature for performing distributed fault diagnosis. One algorithm was chosen and adopted for implementation in a simulator for investigation. A strategy for improving the performance of this algorithm and preventing deadlock was proposed in this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 6,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Ski Center Services in Greece based on the Multiattribute Measurement Model of AttitudesTheophilos Masmanidis, Chris Vassiliadis, John MylonakisThe scope of this study was to evaluate ski center services in Greece. Our research sample consists of n=1,614 visitors in 11 of the largest ski centers in Greece. The 22-item SERVQUAL standard questionnaire has been used, with each item classified based on five quality-assessment dimensions. In order to assess ski center offered services, the Multiattribute Attitude Measurement Model has … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
