Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensity Equation of Bio-Coal Briquettes and Quantity of Maize Cob in Phitsanulok, ThailandPatomsok WilaiponOne of the most important crops in Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, is maize. Base on the calculation, the quantity of maize cob produced in this region was approximately 220 kton year-1. The net heating value of maize cob was found to be 14.2 MJ kg-1. Therefore, the total energy over 874 TJ year-1 can be obtained from this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparisons of Phytotoxicity of Barley Parts Extracts in Three Growth Stages on Annual RyegrassKolahi Maryam, Kolahi MinaProblem statement: The importance of allelopathy in nature and in agroecosystem has attracted researcher's attention with the main goal of using the phenomenon in biological control of weeds. currently, active involvement of scientists from different disciplines made allelopathy a multidisciplinary subject, and transformed the research from basic to applied, enabling use of allelopathy in agriculture and forestry. Screening accessions of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,598 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIrrigated and Non-Irrigated Wheat Classification Based on Cultivation Calendar by IHS AlgorithmAshourloo Davood, Matkan Ali Akbar, Aghighi Hossain et al.In order to extract the wheat the bi-temporal Spot images were ordered based on cultivation calendar of wheat and other crops. As the crops reflection properties showed many variations, for precise classification many signatures are needed. Appropriate bands for classification were selected by divergence algorithm. These bands converted to IHS and for recognizing the reflection changes in the cultivated areas, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Hydroponic Production of Vegetables and Ornamental Pot-Plants in a Heated Greenhouse in Western Macedonia, GreeceIoannis I. Papadopoulos, Fotis Chatzitheodoridis, Christos Papadopoulos et al.In this research an evaluation-in terms of investments-of hydroponics greenhouses is carried out, as well as the possibility of the development of greenhouse crops cultivations, such as vegetables and flowers, in them is explored in Western Macedonia. The survey was realized between the years 2002-2006, in a model greenhouse, which was installed by the Public Power Corporation S.A., in soils … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Maturity Level in Laying Hen Manure by Chemical and Thermogravimetric AnalysisAlice Dall’Ara, Francesco Antolini, Laura Billi et al.This study aims at investigating maturity levels in manure from laying hens in order to encourage its agronomic re-utilization. In fact the use of unstable/insufficiently mature manure could potentially damage both soils and crops. Effective, easy to reproduce methods are needed in order to assess bio-stabilisation and maturity levels, particularly for biomass that has not undergone conventional composting. This study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength and Ductility of Randomly Distributed Palm Fibers Reinforced Silty-Sand SoilsS.M. Marandi, M.H. Bagheripour, R. Rahgozar, H. ZareThis paper investigates the resultant strength and ductility behavior when randomly distributed palm fibers are used to reinforce silty-sand soils. The composite soils were tested under laboratory conditions and examined for unconfined compression strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and compaction test. The results indicated that; the maximum and residual strengths, orientation of surface failures, ductility and the stress-strain relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Use of Rice Bran Compost for Eco-friendly Weed Control in Organic Farming SystemsM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.Rice bran compost (RC) was evaluated under greenhouse and field conditions for eco-friendly weed control of vegetable crops in organic farming systems. RC was applied 7 days before spinach seed sowing, at the rate of 0% (control), 10%, 20% and 30% of soil (v/v) in the greenhouse and 2 kg m-2 under field conditions. RC significantly controlled the number and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Main Object-oriented Projective Invariant Image Watermarking ApproachMalik F. AlamairehDigital Watermarking is a technology that enables to protect distributed digital content from unauthorized reuse. Robust watermarks must be able to survive a range of geometrical "attacks," such as image resizing, cropping, translation, rotation, scaling, smoothing, filtering, and simplification. In the current paper we extend existing approaches that are based partially on image invariant features; by introducing new image invariant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorpho-physiological Differences of the Spermatheca of Attini Ants (Hymenoptera: Myrmicinae)Gabriela Ortiz, Maria Izabel Camargo-MathiasThe insect's spermatheca store the spermatozoa from the time of copulation until the fertilization of the eggs and consists of a sac, usually associated to glands. The ant species Atta laevigata, Atta sexdens sexdens, Atta sexdens piriventris, Acromyrmex coronatus and Cyphomyrmex muelleri are considered pests, as they cause economics losses to several crops. The spermatheca of these species were examined … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractcDNA Microarray Genome Image Processing Using Fixed Spot PositionBasim Alhadidi, Hussam Nawwaf Fakhouri, Omar S. AlMousaComplementary DNA (cDNA) microarray is one of the most recent and important technology for exploring the genome. cDNA microarray Image analysis aims to measure the intensity for each spot in the scanned image and this intensity represents the amount of a specific gene in the studied cell. This paper presents a new algorithm that achieves an automated way for applying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 7,291 accessesView PDFCite
