Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Bruchid Beetles (Burchidius Arabicus Decelle) Infestation on the Germination of Acacia tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne) SeedsM. Al Jabr AhmedThe role of bruchid beetle infestation on seed germination of Acacia tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne) Mimosaceae under different incubation temperatures and degrees of scarification was studied under controlled conditions. Results indicate that seed germination was highest (96%) in scarified seeds at 25-35°C incubation temperature, whereas, it was only 28% in intact seeds. Seeds infected by bruchid beetles with one or two … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,296 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Applied Research Program on Water Desalination with Renewable EnergiesSergio M. Alcocer, Gerardo HiriartThe use of renewable energy for desalination might be quite different in many places of the world. In Mexico, specifically in Baja California, there is an abundance of "traditional" renewable resources like sun and wind but also some others like hot springs at the coast, tidal currents and tidal amplitudes of over six meters in the upper part of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Saving Mechanism in Clustered Ad-Hoc NetworksArwa Zabian, Ahmed IbrahimIn wireless Ad-Hoc networks, multihop transmission breaks the single hop path from a mobile node to another, into two or more hops, in a manner that the distances between transmitter and receiver are smaller than that in the direct transmission, which reduces the transmission power significantly. We have proposed the use of graph search algorithms to increase the power remaining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,117 accessesView PDFCite
