Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Early Score Validation of the Malaysian Educator’s Information Technology Attitude Scale (MEITAS)Wong Su LuanThe purpose of this study was to develop and provide initial validation evidence for an instrument to measure educators’ attitudes toward IT. Data were collected from 817 participants comprising both pre and in-service teachers in four phases. Two separate factor analyses were conducted for the pre-service teacher data and in-service teacher data. Principle component analysis, with varimax rotation, suggested three … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Innovative Technique of Texture Classification and Comparison Based on Long Linear PatternsV. Vijaya Kumar, B. Eswara Reddy, U. S.N. Raju, K. Chandra SekharanThe present paper proposes a method of texture classification based on long linear patterns. Linear patterns of long size are bright features defined by morphological properties: linearity, connectivity, width and by a specific Gaussian-like profile whose curvature varies smoothly along the crest line. The most significant information of a texture often appears in the occurrence of grain components. That’s why … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 28 Aug 2007 · 6,726 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCPI-1189 Protects against TNBS-induced Colitis in a Rodent ModelBeverley Greenwood-Van Meerveld, Karl TylerNitrone-related therapeutics (NRTs) represents a new class of molecules that may be effective in treating inflammatory conditions. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of CPI-1189 in a rat model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Colonic inflammation was induced by an enema of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Saline-enema treated rats served as controls. After 3 days colonic … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVibrio cholerae O1 Strains of Different Ribotypes have Similar hlyA RFLP Patterns but Different Vacuolating AbilityJorge E. Vidal, Paula Figueroa-Arredondo, Silvia Giono-Cerezo et al.Extensive cytoplasmic vacuolation on Vero and HeLa cells in vitro by the Vibrio cholerae pore forming toxin HlyA, has been previously reported by our group. Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1 pathogenic strains show differences in the potential to induce vacuolation, here we study occurring variations on vacuolating cytotoxic ability, related to changes in the nucleotide sequence of the hlyA-orf. A … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInoculation of a Poultry Isolate Salmonella enteritidis on Egg Vitelline Membrane: Survival and Growth in Egg Components after Different Refrigeration Storage TimesZ.R. Howard, R.W. Moore, I.B. Zabala Diaz et al.An in vitro study was designed to determine the extent of Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis survival and growth permissiveness in egg components isolated from shell eggs held at refrigeration temperature over an 8 week time period. Eggs were collected from a commercial laying facility at one-week intervals for eight weeks and stored at refrigeration temperature. After storage, eggs were dipped … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation and Recognition of Handwritten Numeric ChainsSalim Ouchtati, Mouldi Bedda, Abderrazak LachouriAutomatic reading of numeric chains has been attempted in several application areas such as bank cheque processing, postal code recognition and form processing. Such applications have been very popular in handwriting recognition research, due to the possibility to reduce considerably the manual effort involved in these tasks. In this study we propose an off line system for the recognition of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,639 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Implementation of Re-Sampling Technique for High Performance Multiple Classifier SystemsS. Sathiyabama, K. Thyagarajah, D. AyyamuthukumarDue to the large size of the database, the entire training dataset could not be used to construct the classifiers. One popular solution is to separate stream data into chunks, learn a base classifier from each chunk and then integrate all base classifiers to form Multiple classifier system (MCS). Sometimes this data streams does not include all the classes in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Coagulation Technology for Treatment of Grease Filter WashwaterAbdel E. Ghaly, A. Snow, B.E. FaberThe treatment of grease filter washwater by chemical coagulation and sedimentation using different dosages of aluminum sulfate was investigated. Pollutant removal efficiency was measured in terms of total solids, pH and optical density. The process was found to be effective at the room temperature and the filter washwater pH (9.5). The optimum aluminum sulfate dosage was 2 g/L. The treatment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Diloxanide Furoate and Metronidazole in Binary Mixture Using First Derivative of the Ratio-Spectra and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-UV MethodsNora H. Al-ShaalanTwo methods are presented for simultaneous determination of diloxanide furoate and metronidazole. The first method depends on first derivative of the ratio-spectra by measurements of the amplitudes at 242.5 and 285.5 nm for diloxanide furoate and 225.5 and 300 nm for metrinidazole. Calibration graphs were established for 2-100 μg mL-1 for diloxanide furoate and 1-50 μg mL-1 for metronidazole. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous ClusterNeeraj Nehra, R. B. Patel, V. K. BhatDistributed Dynamic load balancing (DDLB) is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to improve throughput and/or execution times of parallel computer in Cluster Computing. Instead of balancing the load in cluster by process migration, or by moving an entire process to a less loaded computer, we make an attempt to balance load by splitting processes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 8,732 accessesView PDFCite
