This is because the Government believes that investment in human capital is key to the success of the country’s economy. However, this strategy may not be effective without the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,623 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Quality of Die off and Die Back Mangrove Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Wafa AltesanThe declining mangrove vegetation along the Arabian Gulf coast necessitates a thorough study for finding out the soil status and for rehabilitating the affected population. In this study, soil supporting die back/die off mangrove plants at Al-Jubail area was studied. Field experiments were also conducted to determine the success/failure ratio of the germinated seeds in both healthy and damaged soils. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLife Long Learning: Seniors in Second Life ContinuumC. D. Seals, W. Moses, J. Nyagwencha et al.Senior citizens represented the fastest growing demographic worldwide. As indicated in the Year 2000 US Census, there were 35 million people 65 or older in the US and by 2030, it was estimated that there were about 70 million older adults in the US alone. With the older population growing rapidly and being increasingly exposed to computers and technology, it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMining Fuzzy Weighted Browsing Patterns from Time Duration and with Linguistic ThresholdsTzung-Pei Hong, Ming-Jer Chiang, Shyue-Liang WangWorld-wide-web applications have grown very rapidly and have made a significant impact on computer systems. Among them, web browsing for useful information may be most commonly seen. Due to its tremendous amounts of use, efficient and effective web retrieval has become a very important research topic in this field. Techniques of web mining have thus been requested and developed to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,400 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShort-Term and Medium-Term Load Forecasting for Jordan's Power SystemI. Badran, H. El-Zayyat, G. HalasaSeveral electric power companies are now forecasting electric loads based on conventional methods. However, since the relationship between loads and factors influencing these loads is nonlinear, it is difficult to identify its nonlinearity by using conventional methods. Most of papers deal with 24-h-ahead load forecasting or next day peak load forecasting. These methods forecast the demand power by using forecasted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Barley for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater in a Hydroponics SystemA.M. Snow, A.E. GhalyBarley was examined for its ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. The effects of seed sterilization using ethanol and bleach and seed density on germination and plant growth were investigated. Surface sterilization of barley seeds had a negative impact on germination. Increasing the ethanol concentration and/or the bleach concentration reduced the germination percentage. Barley seeds were first germinated in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater Using Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce And Parrot’s FeatherA. M. Snow, A. E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot’s feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot’s feather yields were 83, 51 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Hydroponically Grown Macrophytes for Their Suitability as Fish FeedA. M. Snow, Abdel E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly in the hydroponics system and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat Balance Analysis During the Production of Jadomycin CT. J. Burdock, A. H. Giffin, M.S. Brooks, A.E. GhalyJadomycins are novel antibiotics that exhibit biological activity against bacteria and yeast and also demonstrate cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Jadomycin C was successfully produced from 10 L of fermentation media in a 19 L bioreactor using Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230 which was shocked with ethanol. The bioreactor temperature and pH were successfully maintained at 30°C and 7, respectively. The heat of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Evaporator Lengths and Ratio of Check Valves to Number of Turns on Internal Flow Patterns of a Closed-Loop Oscillating Heat-Pipe With Check ValvesS. Rittidech, P. Meena, P. TerdtoonA visualization study of the internal flow patterns of a closed-loop oscillating heat-pipe with check valves (CLOHP/CV) at normal operating condition for several evaporator lengths (Le), and ratio of check valves to number of turns (Rcv) has been conducted. This article describes the effects of varying Le, and Rcv on flow patterns. The CLOHP/CV used a Pyrex glass tube with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
