Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Characteristics of Camel’s Urine as an Inhibitor for Mild Steel in 1.5 M H2SO4 Acid SolutionEhteram A. Noor, Azza A. Al-Ghamdi, Aisha H. Al-MoubarakiProblem statement: The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1.5 M H2SO4 by Camel’s Urine (CU) addition was evaluated at five different temperatures in the range from 30-70°C by weight loss measurements. CU acts as a good inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in 1.5 M H2SO4. The value of inhibition efficiency increases with increasing both inhibitor concentration and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Enhancement and Disease Reduction of Soybean by 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Deaminase-Producing PseudomonasEdi Husen, Aris Tri Wahyudi, Antonius Suwanto, GiyantoProblem statement: 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate (ACC) deaminase-producing bacteria have been known to ameliorate the inhibition-effect of increase concentration of ethylene in higher plants, which can be triggered by high concentration of indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) and/or by the presence of plant pathogens. This study examined the potential use of Pseudomonas isolates producing ACC deaminase as well as IAA to enhance soybean growth and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Performance of Multivariate Bernoulli Model based Documents Clustering Algorithms using Transformation TechniquesPerumal Pitchandi, Nedunchezhian RajuProblem statement: Document clustering is the most important areas of data mining since they are very much and currently the subject of significant global research since such areas strengthen the enterprises of web intelligence, web mining, web search engine design and so forth. Generative models based on the multivariate Bernoulli and multinomial distributions have been widely used for text classification. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,284 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoric Acid Toxicity Trials on the Wood Borer Heterobostrychus aequalis Waterhouse (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae)Daljit Karam Singh, Faizah Abood, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.Abstract: Problem statement: The Heterobostrychus aequalis Waterhouse was a serious pest lumber of timber heveawood. The H. aequalis infest and tunnel along the wood grain, depositing eggs, which concomitantly turn into larvae and reduces the wood starch to a soft powder. The objectives of the study were to establish a suitable method for preservative trials on the wood borer and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 10,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSummarizing Relational Data Using Semi-Supervised Genetic Algorithm-Based Clustering TechniquesRayner AlfredProblem statement: In solving a classification problem in relational data mining, traditional methods, for example, the C4.5 and its variants, usually require data transformations from datasets stored in multiple tables into a single table. Unfortunately, we may loss some information when we join tables with a high degree of one-to-many association. Therefore, data transformation becomes a tedious trial-and-error work and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Mixing Ratio and Size of Egg-Shell on Boiling and Compression Test of Mixed CharcoalBopit Bubphachot, Rujipas Seeladlao, Songchai WiriyaumpaiwongProblem statement: The use of waste material is one of the options to add value to the residue. Nowadays, solid fuel development is necessary in current situation due to high price fossil fuel and the reduction of resource. Wood charcoal is widely used in the country which has abundant of forest. Becoming charcoal, it needs to be burnt under optimum … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,647 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicity Testing and the Effect of Landfill Leachate in Malaysia on Behavior of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758; Pisces, Cyprinidae)Jaffar Y.M. Alkassasbeh, Lee Yook Heng, Salmijah SurifProblem Statement: Landfill leachate had been implicated in environmental pollution, developmental anomalies, birth defect and surface and groundwater pollution worldwide. This study has been conducted to determine the toxicity of landfill leachate from three different landfills in Malaysia on fry common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758; Pisces, Cyprinidae) in combination with some physico-chemical parameters analysis. Approach: Leachates were collected from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChilling Injury in Mamey Sapote Fruit (Pouteria sapota): Biochemical and Physiological ResponsesGuillermo O. Pérez-Tello, Miguel Ángel Martínez-Téllez, Irasema Vargas-Arispuro, Gustavo A. González-AguilarProblem statement: Cold storage is needed in order to delay senescence and achieve a longer commercial life of tropical fruits like mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota), therefore, the physiological and biochemical responses of this fruit to cold storage were evaluated. Approach: Samples from different storage temperature (20, 10 and 2°C) were taken at five-day intervals and Chilling Injury Index (CII), decay … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Computational Optimized Extended Model for Mineral Potential Mapping Based on WofE MethodZiaii Mansour, Pouyan Ali, Ziaei MahdiThe multivariate fuzzy-c-means classifier is used to model extended weight of evidence (WofE) considering predictor maps. Approaches to mineral potential mapping based on WofE modeling generally use binary maps, whereas, real-world geospatial data are mostly multi-class or fuzzy-class in nature. The consequent reclassification of fuzzy-class maps into binary maps is a simplification that might result in a loss of information. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,571 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoad Transport Congestion Costs Calculations Adaptation to Engineering ApproachMarjan Lep, Beno MesarecThe article represents so called "engineering" approach for computing the total road transport congestion costs. According to economic welfare theory, the total costs of transport congestion are defined as dead weight loss (DWL) of infrastructure use. With a set of equations DWL could be formulated in a mathematical way. Because such form of equation is not directly applicable for concrete … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
