Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Doping Position on the Active Silicon-on-Insulator Micro-Ring Resonator Based on Free Carrier InjectionB. Mardiana, Sahbuddin Shaari, P. Susthitha Menon et al.Problem statement: Metal interconnects have become significant limitation on the scaling of CMOS technologies in electronics integrated circuit. Silicon photonics has offers great potential to overcome this critical bottleneck due to the advantages of optical interconnects. Silicon-based optical micro-ring resonator is promising basic element of future electronic-photonic integrated circuits because of its wide applications on photonic devices such as modulator, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 9 Aug 2012 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiometric Correction of Multitemporal Satellite ImagerySeema Gore Biday, Udhav BhosleProblem statement: Repeated observation of a given area over time yields potential for many forms of change detection analysis. These repeated observations are confounded in terms of radiometric consistency due to changes in sensor calibration over time, differences in illumination, observation angles and variation in atmospheric effects. Also major problem with satellite images is that regions below clouds are not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestment, Taxes and the Cost of Capital: An Euler Equation Specification TestHuntley SchallerProblem statement: Previous studies (primarily employing goodness-of-fit tests) have found it difficult to provide clear and direct evidence that taxes and the interest rate have a strong influence on investment. Approach: The objective of this study was to test whether the cost of capital, which includes taxes and the interest rate, affects investment. This study used the Euler equation for … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotted Plants on Flat Roof as a Strategy to Reduce Indoor Temperature in Malaysian ClimateAsmat Ismail, Muna Hanim Abdul Samad, Abdul Malek Abdul RahmanProblem statement: The phenomenon of global warming or climate change has led to many environmental issues including higher atmospheric temperatures, intensive precipitation, increase greenhouse gaseous emission and of course increase indoor discomfort condition. Researchers worldwide collectively agreed that one way of reducing the impact of global warming is by implementing green roof technology which integrates vegetation, growing medium and water … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on the Effect of Allylisothiocyanate Formulations on Three Lepidopterous Insect Larvae, the Diamond Back Moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), the Small Cabbage White Butterfly, Pieris rapae (L.) and Tobacco Cut Worm, Spodoptera litura FabrE. M. Eltayeb, Guo-An Zhang, Jiu-Gao Xie, Feng-Yu MiProblem statement: The toxicity of seven of Allylisothiocyanate (AITC) formulations, AITC pure and in mixture with cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos, was evaluated using spray application and fumigation method against the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), the small cabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae (L.) and the tobacco cut worm, Spodoptera litura Fabr. Approach: Response varied according to insect species, specific formulation and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Simulation of Microelectromechanical System Capacitive Shunt SwitchesHaslina Jaafar, Othman Sidek, Azman Miskam, Shukri KorakkottilProblem statement: RF MEMS switch is one of MEMS area that creates devices that have great potential to improve the performance of communication circuits and systems and enables the realization of micro size mechanical switches embedded in electronics devices. The low voltage switches are necessary due to their compatibility of standard IC technology in RF application and microelectronics systems. In … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,718 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Potassium and Calcium Hydroxide, Compost and Humic Acid from Sago (Metroxylon sagu) WasteC. P. Auldry, O. H. Ahmed, A.M. Nik Muhamad et al.Problem statement: Agriculture waste such as Sago Waste (SW) has a potential to cause pollution when the waste is discarded into rivers. In order to add value to SW, a study was conducted to produce potassium and calcium hydroxide, compost and Humic Acid (HA) from SW. Approach: The SW was air-dried and some grinded. The grinded SW was incinerated at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,588 accessesView PDFCite
