Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater and Food Security for Poverty AlleviationRabiul Islam, Chamhuri SiwarProblem statement: This study considered the issue of water security and food security for the poor towards sustainable livelihoods. Involvement of water organization to scarceness mitigation means that it stands an essential for movements that type water more manageable for poor people. Pro-poor water and food authority, enhanced contact towards worth water and sustenance services, pro-poor financial development and maintenance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2012 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffectiveness of Agricultural Extension ActivitiesAli AL-Sharafat, Mohammad Altarawneh, Ebraheem AltahatProblem statement: Jordan’s agricultural extension service is seriously under-staffed and its effectiveness is consequently compromised. Reservations are being expressed about the performance and capability of the agricultural extension system in Jordan. The performance of this sector has been disappointing and has failed to transfer agricultural technology to the farmers. The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 5 Apr 2012 · 9,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Sine and Cosine Components in Love Waves and Rayleigh Waves for Energy Hauling during EarthquakeZainal Abdul Aziz, Dennis Ling Chuan ChingProblem statement: Love waves or shear waves are referred to dispersive SH waves. The diffusive parameters are found to produce complex amplitude and diffusive waves for energy hauling. Approach: Analytical solutions are found for analysis and discussions. Results: When the standing waves are compared with the Love waves, similar cosine component is found in both waves. Energy hauling between waves … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Genetic Correlations on Sweet Corn Inbred Lines Using SAS Mixed ModelPedram Kashiani, Ghizan SalehProblem statement: Genetic correlations among traits refer to the extent of relatedness among them due to genetic causes. Estimating genetic correlations for quantitative traits is tedious if done manually. Approach: However, the use of the computer software SAS, applying mixed-model analysis of variance has facilitated many recent studies in evolutionary quantitative genetics. Results: In this two-way statistical model, the variance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach in Design and Operating Principle of Silicone Tactile SensorBakri Ali, Rozaini Othman, Rasdi Deraman, Muhammad Azmi AyubProblem statement: Research and development in tactile sensor are escalating due to the fact that advanced robot needs to interact with surrounding environments which is very complex, dynamic, uncontrolled and difficult to perceive reliably. Recent research has been focusing in development of new tactile sensor that takes advantage of advances in materials, Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) and semiconductor technology. To date, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Multi-Centroid Moment Invariants in Thermal-Based Face Identification SystemKhairul Hamimah Abas, Osamu OnoProblem statement: Current paramount methods and approaches in face identification field rely on facial characteristics; such as location of eyes, length of nose and mouth, regardless the type of medium used to acquire the facial images. The visibility of these facial characteristics varies significantly with environmental factors (e.g., lighting elements). Various researches have been devoted to develop methodologies for addressing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneralization Aspect of Neural Networks on Upgrading Assimilation Structure into Accommodating SchemeWaleed, A. J. Rasheed, Hamza A. AliProblem statement: Generalization feature enhancement of neural networks, especially feed forward structural model has limited progress. The major reason behind such limitation is attributed to the principal definition and the inability to interpret it into convenient structure. Traditional schemes, unfortunately have regarded generalization as an innate outcome of the simple association, referred to by Pavlov and had been modeled by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,149 accessesView PDFCite

GodioGround Probing Radar (GPR) devices is adopted for the analysis of thickness and the mechanical properties (density) of the snow cover in some test site in Alps, in Northern Italy. The performances of standard radar systems for the snow cover characterisation are analysed, the main aim is to assess the reliability of the method to estimate the snow density, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling, Simulation and Group Control of Distributed Static Series CompensatorsPoria Fajri, Saeed Afsharnia, Daryoush Nazarpour, Mohammad Ali TavallaeiThis study investigates the new concept of Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC); a small, light weight cylinder that clamps directly onto the transmission line conductor and has the ability to alter the impedance of the power lines in order to increase power transfer capability and maximize economic value of the transmission system. A graphic-based simulation model of the DSSC is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2008 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasmid-mediated Detoxification of Mycotoxin Zearalenone in Pseudomonas Sp. ZEA-1Abdullah D. AltalhiThe Pseudomonas sp. Strain ZEA-1 was isolated from rhizosphere of corn plant by an enrichment technique showed capability of utilizing zearalenone as the sole source of carbon. The bacterium rapidly utilized zearalenone beyond 200 µg/ml and showed prolific growth in a minimal medium containing 100 µg/ml zearalenone source. The course of ZEA degradation as well as the formation of its … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,854 accessesView PDFCite
