Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Pan Evaporation for Kuwait using Multiple Linear Regression and Time-Series TechniquesJaber AlmedeijThis study attempts to model evaporation for Kuwait under arid conditions by using a wide range of monthly evaporation data, varying from 0.1 to 40 mm/day, from January 1993 to July 2015. Owing to the reason that the well-known theoretical evaporation models presented in the literature have been justified for a much shorter data range, the paper adopts empirical approaches … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 8 Jun 2016 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Stochastic and Deterministic Methods for Mapping Environmental Noise from Opencast QuarriesDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariAn accurate mapping of the acoustic spatial variability generated by quarrying plants constitutes an important step in the assessment of the environmental compatibility of the extraction site with the surrounding area. This paper refers to the results of a study comparing performances obtained by stochastic and deterministic methods to determine the acoustic climate of the areas surrounding opencast quarries. To … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,394 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Key Dependent Encryption Algorithm Based on Multiple Bitwise-Shuffling and XOR Variable-Length PartitionsAbdelfatah Aref TamimiThis new algorithm employs shuffling procedures combined with variable-length key-dependent XOR and S-box substitutions to perform lossless image encryption. This algorithm was implemented and tested by performing different permutations of shuffling, XOR encryption and S-box substitution. Empirical analysis using different types of test images of different sizes showed that this new algorithm is effective and resistant to statistical attacks. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2016 · 7,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPACT OF THE ANTECEDENT FACTORS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF MALAYSIAN EXPORT COMPANIESSaad Dubayyan Alshammari, Rabiul IslamThe study aimed at investigating the impact of the antecedent factors on the performance of exporting companies in Malaysia through the mediating influence of marketing mix adaptation. In order to provide deep and rich investigation, the impact of the antecedent factors on the marketing mix adaptation was examined. A questionnaire was used as the instrument of the study and the … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2014 · 7,383 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Anthropometric and Metabolic Variables with Cardiovascular Disease among Urban and Rural OriginBadaruddoza, Kushal Gill, Raman KumarProblem statement: We have examined the prevalence and association of cardiovascular diseases with respect to obesity and metabolic risk factors clustering among urban and rural Punjabi males aged 20-55 years. Obesity has been defined by increased Waist Circumference (WC), Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR). Metabolic traits such as increased total cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins have also … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Pollution Hazards of Shallow Well Water in Abeokuta and Environs, Southwest, NigeriaE. O. Orebiyi, J. A. Awomeso, O. A. Idowu et al.Problem statement: Pollution of well water, either from point or non-point sources, has become a thing of health concern both in urban and rural areas. Approach: This study aim at assessing the pollution hazards of groundwater resource by sampling some shallow wells from urban and peri-urban area of Abeokuta. Collected samples were analyzed for water quality parameters using standard procedures. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Enhancing Urea-Humic Acid Mixture with Refined Acid Sulphate SoilMohd Taufik Mohd Yusuff, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Acid Sulphate Soil (ASS) is a problem soil partly because of its high acidity. This low pH could be exploited to reduce ammonia loss from urea by reducing soil microsite pH. The use Humic Acid (HA) to control ammonia loss from urea has been reported but the cost of this material is high. This laboratory study compared the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Converting Secondary Forest to Oil Palm Plantation on Peat Soil Carbon and Nitrogen and other Soil Chemical PropertiesMakilan Muniandy, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohd Khanif YusopProblem statement: Peatlands are natural sequesters of carbon and nitrogen. Once they are disturbed the tendency to lose carbon and nitrogen to the environment is very high. This study investigated the effect of converting peat land forest into oil palm plantation on soil chemical properties with particular emphasis on carbon and nitrogen storage. Approach: Soil samples were collected randomly at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Robust Rescaled Moment Test for Normality in RegressionMd. Sohel Rana, Habshah Midi, A.H.M. Rahmatullah ImonProblem statement: Most of the statistical procedures heavily depend on normality assumption of observations. In regression, we assumed that the random disturbances were normally distributed. Since the disturbances were unobserved, normality tests were done on regression residuals. But it is now evident that normality tests on residuals suffer from superimposed normality and often possess very poor power. Approach: This study … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThickness Analysis of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) Slab Compacted Using a Newly Developed Roller CompactorR. Muniandy, F.M. Jakarni, S. Hassim, A.R. MahmudPavement mix design procedures and specifications are usually derived from laboratory experiments. Therefore, laboratory experiments should be able to simulate to a high degree the conditions in the field, especially in term of compaction procedures. Based on literature reviews and analysis of past studies, it can be concluded that there are no exact method for laboratory compaction that can simulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
