Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Applying IT and E-Learning in Economic Information SystemsJihad A.A.Abu Al SondosThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of using the E-learning approach as well as IT technologies in the teaching process of Economics Information System (EIS) course to graduate students. Also, this study concentrates on two trends, the first one related to the befits of using E-learning approach in teaching EIS. The benefits of this approach are: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Chemical Admixtures on the Engineering Properties of Tropical Peat SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Thamer A. Mohamed, Shukri MaailThis research describes a study on the effect of chemical (cement and lime) admixtures on the index and engineering properties (compaction and unconfined strength) of tropical peat soils. The ordinary Portland cement and hydrated lime were used. The amounts cement and lime added to the peat soil sample, as a percentage of the dry soil mass was in the range … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 8,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparedness for the Introduction of E-learning in Higher Education-The Case of OmanZ. A. Al-Khanjari, N. S. Kutti, A. S.S. DorvloThe use of Web-based instruction (WBI) and with the availability of well-structured Course Management Tools there seems to be a prospectus of improving both the classroom and distance educations using e-Learning principle[1,2]. As the instructor community plays a central role in all education processes we are motivated to study the level of their cooperation with respect to applying WBI through … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm for Assigning Cells to Switches in Wireless NetworksMatthieu Andr, Gilles Pesant, Samuel PierreThe problem of assigning cells to switches in wireless networks consists of minimizing the total operating cost, that is, the cost of linking cells to switches and the cost of handover from one cell to another, by taking into account factors such as network topology, switch capacity and traffic load in the entire network. Such a problem is well known … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,748 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Parameters Influencing the Purity of Potassium Sulfate Fertilizer Produced from Jordanian Raw MaterialsMousa GougazehThe general objective of the present investigation was to make a contribution towards improving the purity of the produced potassium sulfate from (KCl, Arab Potash Company-Dead Sea) and (H2SO4, Jordanian Phosphate Company). The process parameters influencing the contamination of the poisoning chlorine within the product were experimentally investigated. The experiments were performed in a small-scale batch reactor equipped with a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing Effectiveness of IDS to Improve Security in IntranetUmesh Kumar Singh, A. K. Ramani, Narendra S. Chaudhari, Vandana GuptaToday Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are becoming one of the most important tools for intranet security. Research regarding Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) has become more active with the recent increases in illegal accesses to computer systems. Many researchers focus only on the techniques or mechanisms for detecting intrusions automatically, without considering the security of IDSs themselves. When an intruder attacks … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of the Ozonation Pre-treatment for Biodegradation of Aqueous Solutions of Methyltert-Butyl EtherM. Sadeghi, A. Mesdaghinia, A. Badkoubi et al.The effectiveness of ozone treatment for improving the biodegradability of recalcitrant pollutants has been proved by investigating the ozonation reaction of Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) a bioresistant gasoline oxygenate. Laboratory scale experiments have been carried out, at room temperature, by bubbling, for 120 min, ozonated air (3.4 ppm min-1 ) into 3 liter of an alkaline (pH=11.5) aqueous solution (100 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
