Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Leaf Total Nitrogen Content for Nitrogen Management in a Malaysian Paddy Field by Using Soil Plant Analysis Development Chlorophyll MeterA. Gholizadeh, M. S. M. Amin, A. R. Anuar, W. AimrunProblem statement: Laboratory plant testing is usually time-consuming and high-costing. Hence, plant nutrient variability must be measured rapidly and the information made known to the farmers before the new season starts. Site-specific crop management, well-established in some developed countries, is now being considered in other places such as Malaysia. Approach: The application of site-specific management principles and techniques to diverse … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Concentrations of Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorophyll-a in the Coastal Waters of BabolsarSiamak Jamshidi, Noordin Bin Abu Bakar, Marzieh YousefiProblem statement: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) are two vital requirements for marine ecosystems. Nowadays, discharge of large amounts of industrial, agricultural and urban wastes threats the Caspian Sea (CS) environment. With regard to the elevation of nutrient contents, average of DO concentrations in the deeper layers of the CS is reducing. On the other hand, increased amounts of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Growth and Inhibition Studies of Monosodium Urate Monohydrate Crystals by Different Herbal ExtractsBharat B. Parekh, Sonal R. Vasant, Kashmira P. Tank et al.Problem statement: A large number of people in the world have been suffering from gout for centuries. Gout is the term given to a metabolic condition in which the signs and symptoms results from the deposition of crystals of Monosodium Urate Monohydrate (MSUM) in various connective tissues. Approach: It was quite difficult to grow good quality large MSUM crystals because … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 10,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Tunnel Boring Machine Advancement on the Bologna-Florence Railway LinkM. Cardu, P. Oreste, T. CicalaProblem statement: The high-velocity railway link between Bologna and Firenze (Italy) is today under construction and several tunnels have to be excavated for this purpose, some of these using TBMs. A small diameter tunnel, named Cunicolo ginori, was realized by TBM parallel to a large railway tunnel (Vaglia), at the distance of only 35 m. Approach: The Vaglia tunnel had … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Technology Transfer Factors on Performance: An Empirical Study of Libyan Petroleum IndustryA. S. Mohamed, S. M. Sapuan, M.M.H. Megat Ahmad et al.Problem statement: In Libya, like most petroleum producing countries, attempts began to develop the petroleum industry through several frames of Technology Transfer (TT). The realization of TT is progressively more forecasted with a starting point of essential factors mainly government support, Knowledge base, environment, Willingness to learn and anticipated to rely more on these factors further in the future. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Removal of Methyl Red from Aqueous Solutions Using Banana Pseudostem FibersMas Rosemal H. Mas Haris, Kathiresan SathasivamProblem statement: The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of methyl red, a mutagenic monoazo dye, from various aqueous solutions using banana pseudostem fibers of the size 212-350 micron. Approach: The parameters studied were the effect of pH, amount of adsorbent, contact time, concentration of adsorbate and agitation speed. Results: Equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeltability and Stretchability of White Brined Cheese: Effect of Emulsifier SaltsKhaled Abu-Alruz, Ayman Suliman Mazahreh, Ali F. Al-Shawabkeh et al.Problem statement: This study was based on the hypothesis that by adding low concentrations of emulsifier salts, may specifically act on the cross linking bonds of the protein matrix, to the original brine (storage medium) it would be possible to induce meltability and stretchability in white brined cheese. Approach: A new apparatus for measuring the actual stretchability was designed and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,093 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Accuracy of Effort Estimation through Fuzzy Set Representation of SizeCh. Satyananda Reddy, KVSVN RajuProblem statement: The precision and reliability of the effort estimation is very important for the competitiveness of software companies. The uncertainty at the input level of the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) yields uncertainty at the output, which leads to gross estimation error in the effort estimation. Fuzzy logic-based cost estimation models are more appropriate when vague and imprecise information was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
