Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Jiben Seeds Extract to Manufacture Soft White CheeseMohamed A. Talib, M. M. Abubakar, I. A. Jideani, Ahmed HassanRennet substitute was applied for preparation of white cheese with Jiben (Solanum dubium seeds extract). Time effect 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120 and 150 days was studied at 30°C on the prepared cheese, kept at room temperature as well as in the refrigerator at 5±1°C. Cheese analysis includes pH and the percentage content of moisture, salt, fat … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Moment Features Extraction for Recognizing Handwritten Arabic LettersGheith Abandah, Nasser AnssariProblem statement: Offline recognition of handwritten Arabic text awaits accurate recognition solutions. Most of the Arabic letters have secondary components that are important in recognizing these letters. However these components have large writing variations. We targeted enhancing the feature extraction stage in recognizing handwritten Arabic text. Approach: In this study, we proposed a novel feature extraction approach of handwritten Arabic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow Does The Bone Shaft Geometry Affect its Bending Properties?Kaveh PourAkbar Saffar, Nima JamilPour, Seyed Mohammad RajaaiIn this research, ten fresh specimens of sheep tibiae were provided from slaughtered animals. Whole bone specimens were loaded in three-point bending according to standard wet bone test protocols. Mechanical properties were determined and compared with the results which were obtained from two dry bone tests. The results showed that fracture bending moment and bone extrinsic stiffness had significant relations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Multinomial Logit Based Evaluation of the Behavior of the Life Insureds in RomaniaCristian Dragos, Simona DragosThe Romanian life insurance market is in full expansion. There exists competition between insurance companies as well as between different products of the same company. In this article we describe a study using data that we collected from clients of a Romanian insurance company. We have observed two types of variables: attributes of the insurance products (e.g., profitability, risk), as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New System to Analyze Pulsatile Flow Characteristics in Elastic Tubes for Hemodynamic ApplicationsAfshin Anssari-Benam, Mohammad Tafazzoli-Shadpour, Nasser Fatouraee et al.In this research, we present a new designed experimental setup for study of characteristics of pulsatile flow in elastic tubes, aiming to simulate arterial blood flow. This system includes four major components: (1) a pulsatile pump producing original arterial flow, (2) an elastic element to simulate coupling of the heart with the arterial system, (3) an elastic tube with mechanical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,012 accessesView PDFCite

To investigate and simulate the intake port gas flow heat transfer profile of compression ignition engine is using GT-Power engine model were developed in this research. GT-Power is sub-system menu … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of an Optimal Fuzzy Logic Controller Using Genetic AlgorithmS. Khan, S. F. Abdulazeez, L. W. Adetunji et al.All control systems suffer from problems related to undesirable overshoot, longer settling times and vibrations while going form one state to another state. Most of relevant techniques had been in the form of suggesting modification and improvement in the instrumentation or interfacing part of the control system and the results reported, remain suffering from shortcomings related to hardware parameter dependence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 8,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransforming Spatio-Temporal Yield Maps to Classified Management Zone Maps for Efficient Management of Oil PalmAbdul Rahim Anuar, Kah Joh Goh, Tee Bee Heoh, Osumanu Haruna AhmedOne of the major challenges in oil palm plantations today is proper interpretation of yield maps for site-specific management and development of classified management zone maps for its efficient management. A study was conducted on an on-going fertilizer response trial in Sabah, Malaysia to examine the possibility of converting spatio-temporal yield maps of oil palm to classified management zone maps … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPattern of Survival and Mortality of Mangrove Populations Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Ibrahim AldjainThe life table and fecundity schedule were produced for [Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh] populations of four habitat types at Al-Jubail area, KSA. These types are sand mounds, salt flats, shoreline and intertidal sites. Survivorship (lx) was least in sand mounds and similar in all other sites. Age-specific-mortality rates (qx) where parallel in the flower bud, flower, fruiting and seedling stages … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,868 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 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite
