Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEcological Capability Assessment for Multiple-Use in Forest Areas Using GIS- Based Multiple Criteria Decision Making ApproachSasan Babaie-Kafaky, Asadollah Mataji, Naser Ahmadi SaniProblem statement: A valuable Source of plant and animal various species in the west of Iran is Zagros forests that, misuses by foresters and local societies has caused severe degradation. In this study, forest areas ecological assessment was carried out with a (GIS)-based MCDM approach for multiple-use planning in order to reduce degradation and improving sustainability. Approach: All of possible … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDetecting Hornbeam Trees Phenological Characteristics of Mountain ForestSasan Babaei Kafaki, Asadollah Mataji, Seyed Armin HashemiProblem statement: Phenology is the study of the seasonal occurrence of developmental or life cycle events, such as bud break, flowering, or autumn leaf drop. The proposed study attempted to quantify changes in Carpinus betulus L. phenology of deciduous broad leaf forest between the years 2003-2006. Approach: Phenological studies were fulfilled during four years as from January 2003-December 2006 by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMonitoring Growing Season Length of Deciduous Broad Leaf Forest Derived From Satellite Data in IranSasan Babaei Kafaki, Asadollah Mataji, Seyed Armin HashemiProblem statement: Leaf phenology describes the seasonal cycle of leaf functioning and is essential for understanding the interactions between the biosphere, the climate and biogeochemical cycles. This study aimed to quantify changes in plant phenology of deciduous broadleaf forests between the years 1982-1999 and investigate the relationships between the onset dates of phenology and climatic factors. Approach: We studied the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesResidues of Complex Functions with Definite and Infinite Poles on X-axisAbbas Y. AL-Bayati, Sasan A. Al-ShwaniProblem statement: One of the most popular areas in the mathematics is the computational complex analysis. In this study several computational complex techniques were investigated and implemented numerically. Objective: This study produced new procedures to compute the residues of complex functions by changing their numerator from a constant number to either even or odd function. Approach: In this project we … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesKidney Function Indices in Mice after Long Intake of Agaricus brasiliensis Mycelia (=Agaricus blazei, Agaricus subrufescens) Produced by Solid State CultivationDalla Santa Herta Stutz, Rubel Rosália, Vitola Francisco Menino Destéfanis et al.Problem statement: Agaricus brasiliensis (=Agaricus blazei, Agaricus subrufescens) or Sun mushroom has widespread use for potential health benefits such anti-tumor and immunomodulatory effects. Studies detected that others edible mushrooms affected renal metabolism and despite the widespread use of A. brasiliensis there are no studies that address biological effects on the renal function indices after their oral administration. Therefore, this study … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesComparative Studies on the Performance of Low Power Transmitters for Wireless Sensor NodesT. Sasilatha, J. RajaProblem statement: Power consumption was one of the most challenging aspects to design low power wireless sensor nodes. The objectives of the study were to (i) Design low voltage, low power transmitters for wireless sensor nodes and (ii) Compare and analyze the performance of the transmitters. Approach: The transmitters employed direct digital modulation scheme to reduce the power consumption of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesComparison and Parametric Study of Flameless Oxidation in a Gas Turbine Using Two Kinetics MechanismsMohamed Hamdi, Hmaïed Benticha, Mohamed SassiThe so-called "Flameless Oxidation" is a novel combustion mode, in which combustion products are re-circulated and mixed into the fresh incoming fuel and air streams. This reduces the concentration of the reactants and thereby reducing the reaction rate through avoiding the formation of sharp high temperature zones in the combustion chamber. Flameless combustion has been acknowledged as one of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSulfur Recovery from Acid Gas Using the Claus Process and High Temperature Air Combustion (HiTAC) TechnologyMohamed Sassi, Ashwani K. GuptaSulfur-bearing compounds are very detrimental to the environment and to industrial process equipment. They are often obtained or formed as a by-product of separation and thermal processing of fuels containing sulfur, such as coal, crude oil and natural gas. The two sulfur compounds, which need special attention, are: hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). H2S is a highly corrosive … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 17,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesModified Hill Cipher for a Large Block of Plaintext with Interlacing and IterationV. U.K. Sastry, N. R. ShankarIn this research, we have developed a large block cipher by modifying the Hill cipher. In this, we have introduced interlacing of the binary bits of the plaintext as the primary concept leading to confusion. This process is strengthened by using iteration. The cryptanalysis and avalanche effect mentioned in this research clearly exhibit the strength of the cipher. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,150 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesModified Hill Cipher with Interlacing and IterationV. U.K.. Sastry, N. Ravi ShankarIn this research, we have developed a block cipher by taking a large key matrix of size nxn and a plaintext matrix containing n rows and two columns. In this, the plaintext column vectors, perated by the key matrix are thoroughly interlaced at each stage of the iteration. As a typical example, we have taken the key in the form … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
