Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Innovative Farm Scale Biogas/Composting Facility for a Sustainable Medium Size Dairy FarmA.E. Ghaly, M. Al HattabApproach: The amount of energy related costs as a portion of the total farm operating cost can be as high as 29% and the continuing increase of the real cost of energy related farm input has been one of the major factors impacting the cost of agricultural production. However, agricultural has the potential of replacing some of the purchased energy … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2012 · 9,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSecurity Extensible Access Control Markup Language Policy Integration Based on Role-Based Access Control Model in Healthcare Collaborative EnvironmentsTeo Poh Kuang, Hamidah Ibrahim, Nur Izura Udzir, Fatimah SidiRecently research is focused on security policy integration and conflict reconciliation among various healthcare organizations. Problem statement: However, challenging security and privacy risk issues still arisen during sharing sensitive patient data in different large distributed organizations. Though eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) has a powerful capacity of expression, it does not support all the elements character of RBAC. Thus, … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2011 · 9,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDisposition of Human Resource Development Structure in Manufacturing Firms in MalaysiaAbdullah HaslindaProblem statement: Human Resource Development (HRD) is rapidly gaining importance in manufacturing firms in Malaysia, as there are strong driving forces such as legal, financial and infrastructural support from the Government. 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 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExistence and Uniqueness Conditions for the Maximum Likelihood Solution In Regression Models For Correlated Bernoulli Random VariablesDavid Todem, KyungMann KimWe give sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate in a class of multivariate regression models for correlated Bernoulli random variables. The models use the concept of threshold crossing technique of an underlying multivariate latent variable with univariate components formulated as a linear regression model. However, in place of their Gaussian assumptions, any specified distribution … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,838 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProtection against Lipopolysaccharide-induced Death by An Anti-Interleukin-6 Monoclonal AntibodyBailin Liang, Debra Gardner, Don Griswold, Xiao-yu R. SongSepticemia is frequently associated with serious complications and high mortality despite recent advances in treatment with antibacterial agents. Infectious organisms or their soluble products initiate septic shock through a complex cytokine cascade. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced excessive production of inflammatory cytokines is regarded as a model of septic shock. Experiments of LPS-induced excessive cytokine production were conducted in Balb/c mice for … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCirculating Granzymes are associated with Bloodstream Infection and Death in Febrile Medical PatientsAnnelies N. Tacx, Angela M. Wolbink, C. E. Hack, A.B. Johan GroeneveldPlasma levels of granzymes are specific markers for the activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells but the impact of activation of these cells on the course of bacterial infections is not well understood. We prospectively studied the implications of circulating granzyme A and B (GrA, GrB) levels in febrile, medical and hospitalized patients (n=284), during 3 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsReliability Evaluation of Distributed Computer Systems Subject to Imperfect Coverage and Dependent Common-Cause FailuresLiudong Xing, Akhilesh ShresthaImperfect coverage (IPC) occurs when a malicious component failure causes extensive damage due to inadequate fault detection, fault location or fault recovery. Common-cause failures (CCF) are multiple dependent component failures within a system due to a shared root cause. Both imperfect coverage and common-cause failures can exist in distributed computer systems and can contribute significantly to the overall system unreliability. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 28 Sep 2006 · 6,838 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation and Beneficiation of Feldspar from Arkosic Sandstone in South Jordan for Application in the Ceramic IndustryMousa GougazehThe main purpose of the present study was to investigate the beneficiation and upgrading processes of a Jordanian feldspar ores to be finally implemented in the ceramic industry. The experimental work was conducted to evaluate the role of particle size distribution, chemical composition, mineral content and the magnetic impurities (Fe2O3 +TiO2 contents). The beneficiation of the 500-45 μm fractions, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMultiple Antibiotic Resistances of Vibrio Isolates from Coastal and Brackish Water AreasS. Manjusha, G. B. Sarita, K. K. Elyas, M. ChandrasekaranAn experiment was designed to assess the occurrence of multiple antibiotic resistances in Vibrio spp. from different (brackish and marine) environments. Water samples from nine marine landing sites and two coastal inland aquaculture farms were screened for the Vibrio spp. and assessed their resistance to twenty-two different antibiotics, which are commonly encountered in the aquatic ecosystem. Tissue samples (shrimp, mussel … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsObject Detection using Circular Hough TransformMohamed Rizon, Haniza Yazid, Puteh Saad et al.In this study we propose a new system to detect the object from an input image. The proposed system first uses the separability filter proposed by Fukui and Yamaguchi (Trans. IEICE Japan J80-D-II. 8, 2170-2177, 1997) to obtain the best object candidates and next, the system uses the Circular Hough Transform (CHT) to detect the presence of circular shape. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
