Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForest Structure Assessment of a Rehabilitated ForestRoland Kueh Jui Heng, Nik Muhamad Abd. Majid, Seca Gandaseca et al.Problem Statement: Forest structure assessment provides information on forest succession, dynamics, biodiversity and health which are important but only few information is available on rehabilitated forest. The objective of this study was to assess the forest structure of selected age stands at a rehabilitated forest situated in Universiti Putra Malaysia Bintulu Sarawak Campus, Sarawak, Malaysia. Approach: Four 20×20) m plots … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 9,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForest Policy Impact Assessment in the Ouachita National Forest and the Valuation of Conserving Red-Cockaded WoodpeckersDifei Zhang, Michael M. Huebschmann, Thomas B. Lynch, James M. GuldinProblem statement: The Ouachita National Forest received approval in 1996 for an amendment to its Forest Plan that would allocate 10% of the Forest to long-rotation silviculture. The purpose of the new management area is to restore pre-European settlement forest conditions and recreate habitat for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. Approach: This study explored the effects of restoring an ecosystem, from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGermination Ecology of Rhanterium epapposum Oliv.Sameeha Zaman, Shyamala Padmesh, Harby TawfiqProblem statement: Rhanterium epapposum, locally called Arfaj is the national flower of Kuwait. The current situation of Rhanterium epapposum is quite critical in most areas of Kuwait. In fact it has completely disappeared from most parts of the country due to a combination of overgrazing, collecting for firewood and off road driving. Approach: Rhanterium epapposum is an excellent species for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Sag Mitigation in a Refinery with Induction Motors LoadsTarek I. El-Shennawy, Abdel-Mon’em Moussa, Mahmoud A. El-Gammal, Amr Y. Abou-GhazalaProblem statement: ANRPC is a refinery based in Alexandria, Egypt. The plant was subjected to several shutdowns due to tripping of large induction motors, either by under voltage or by over current relays, sometimes by the mechanical protection. The main cause for such unplanned shutdowns was voltage sags. The Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) has recently been introduced to protect the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Thermal Comfort: A Study at Closed and Ventilated Call CentreA. R. Ismail, N. Jusoh, N. K. Makhtar et al.Problem statement: The aims of study were to investigate the effects of environmental factors including the human physiology and thermal comfort during the cycle of process works in workplace. Approach: The selected production line was handling the restoration of trouble report. The environment examined was the relative humidity (%), wind speed (m sec-1), illuminance (lux) and air temperature (°C) of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Curvelet Thresholding Algorithm for Image DenoisingAl-Dahoud Ali, Preety D. Swami, J. SinghaiProblem statement: This study introduced an adaptive thresholding method for removing additive white Gaussian noise from digital images. Approach: Curvelet transform employed in the proposed scheme provides sparse decomposition as compared to the wavelet transform methods which being nongeometrical lack sparsity and fail to show optimal rate of convergence. Results: Different behaviors of curvelet transform maxima of image and noise … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Quality Improvement Using DVRC. Benachaiba, B. FerdiVoltage sags and swells in the medium and low voltage distribution grid are considered to be the most frequent type of power quality problems based on recent power quality studies. Their impact on sensitive loads is severe. The impact ranges from load disruptions to substantial economic losses up to millions of dollars. Different solutions have been developed to protect sensitive … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVegetation Dynamics Depending on Ecological Particularities of Bozanta Mare (Maramures County-Romania) Tailing Pound: Case StudyMonica Marian, Leonard Mihaly Cozmuta, Camelia Varga et al.The present study followed an ecological demarche of reintegration in the scenary through revegetation of an anthropic ground, consisting in a waste pond formed from the flotation activity of non-ferrous ores. Problem statement: To support the formation of a compact vegetal layer, having anti-erosion and a restoration role, a preliminary study was required regarding the spontaneous settlement of different vegetal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,361 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimate Polluting AgentsAbdelhani BoukroucheThe concentration estimation of hydrocarbons not burned emitted in smokes by a boiler during its beginning will be discussed in the present investigation. The objective is to verify if the boiler is conform to European norms; so that a recorded data processing has been achieved with a restoration method based on the use of two regularization parameters resulting in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of a Soluble Anti-HIV-1 factor (s) with IFN-γ, IL-10, and β-Chemokine Modulating Activity by an Influenza-Bacterial Polyantigenic MixtureJosé W. Rodríguez, Nat O. Pagan, Mar C. Ocasio et al.Partial immune restoration may be obtained with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but specific anti-HIV-1 immune responses do not appear to improve substantially. We have demonstrated that a soluble factor(s) induced by a mixture of inactivated influenza and bacterial vaccines called polyantigenic immunomodulator (PAI), possesses strong immunoregulatory and anti- HIV-1 activities. In the present study, we show that culture fluids … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
