Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrganizations and Activities of a New Leading Farmer Extension Model in TurkeyGürel AydinWith this study, the organization and the activities of four leading farmer association established in Thrace Region of Turkey in 1986, in the center of Tekirdag and in Muratli, Corlu and Malkara districts of Tekirdag, were discussed as the result of the common studies between Turkish Agricultural Chamber Union (TZOB) and German agriculture unit (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft, DLG), German Agricultural Technical … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Transcript Labeling Techniques and Development of a Membrane-based Parallel Gene Expression AssayMark A. Fisher, Bonnie B. Plikaytis, Thomas M. ShinnickAn inexpensive alternative to micro arrays was developed to examine the expression of small sets of genes in parallel and used to compare direct and indirect transcript labeling methods. Psoralen-biotin direct labeling was ~10-fold less sensitive than reverse transcriptase-biotin-dUTP labeling, but the enzymatic method generated higher levels of background noise in miniarray hybridizations. The reproducibility of hybridization intensities was the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,875 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Modulation Scaling Scheme for Quality of Services Ensurance in Wireless Sensor NetwoksYong Yuan, Zongkai Yang, Jianhua HeEnergy consumption has been a key concern of data gathering in wireless sensor networks. Previous research works show that modulation scaling is an efficient technique to reduce energy consumption. However, such technique will also impact on both packet delivery latency and packet loss, therefore, may result in adverse effects on the qualities of applications. In this study, the problem of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of a New, Rapid, Amperometric Immunosensor for the Detection of Low Concentrations of Bacteria Part II: Optimization of the System for Escherichia coliEric Carnes, Ebtisam WilkinsThe optimization of a flow-through immunoassay system was conducted to achieve rapid detection of low concentrations of E. coli bacteria. The system includes a new immunosensor that uses newly developed, disposable immunofiltration membranes to yield a system that is sensitive as well as simple. Comparison of the performance of this system with conventional immunoassays demonstrated a significantly shorter time for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effectiveness of Quality Circle Participation in Industrial and Service Organizations in MalaysiaT. R. Abo-Alhol, M. Y. Ismail, S. M. Sapuan, M. M. HamdanQuality Circle (QC) proponents suggest a wide array of positive results when this participation technique is used either in manufacturing or in service sector. This study is to determine whether QCs in one sector are performing more effectively than the other. This assessment includes technical aspects, length of participation, training, members' feelings about QCs, job satisfaction and job commitment. The … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2005 · 7,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelective Lymphocyte Activation and Inhibition of In Vitro Tumor Cell Growth by Novel MorphinansRicardo Gomez-Flores, Kimberly R. Vietti, William J. Dunn et al.Opioids can suppress immune functions and increase susceptibility to developing cancer and infectious diseases. Recently, novel opioid compounds have been synthesized that lack immunosuppressive effects. We evaluated the effects of morphinans with substituted pyrimidine (methyl, phenyl, hydroxy, and amino groups) and pyrazole groups on in vitro rat thymic lymphocyte and splenic macrophage functions, and tumor cell growth. We observed that … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2005 · 7,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrong Dependence at the Long Run and the Cyclical Frequencies in the Specification of the US Unemployment RateL. A. Gil-AlanaThis study deals with the presence of long range dependence at the long run and the cyclical frequencies in the specification of the US unemployment rate. We use a parametric procedure that permits us to test unit and fractional roots in raw time series. The results show that both the long run and the cyclical structures present a component of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Degradation Risk Prediction Integrating RUSLE with Geo-information Techniques, the Case of Northern Shaanxi Province in ChinaMushtak T. Jabbar, Xiaoling ChenThis research integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) with RS, GIS and GPS techniques to quantify soil erosion risk and the northern part of Shaanxi province in China was taken as a case. A system was established for rating soil erodibility, slope length/gradient, rainfall erosivity and conservation practices. The rating values served as inputs into a modified Revised … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Ecological Criteria of Noise Control With Application of AbsorbentsM. A. Al-NawaflehThe operation conditions of the industrial equipment, acoustic parameters essentially depend on type of the sound field (free, diffuse or mixed). Besides the effect of the noise control of the machine itself, the field type also important, which in turn depends on the degree and quality of acoustic preparation of the workshop. The criteria is an estimation of applicability broadband … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,807 accessesView PDFCite
