Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementing Environmental Management Systems in a Cluster of Municipalities: A Case StudySerena Botta, Claudio ComoglioLocal authorities are showing an increasing interest in implementing Environmental Management Systems (EMS) according to ISO 14001/EMAS as a tool for better dealing with their environmental issues. However, to improve the status of an environmental component or the efficiency of an environmental service often exceeds the boundaries and the competences of a single municipality; furthermore EMS implementation can require significant … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 20 Sep 2013 · 7,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Study Between Volume and Overall Acceptability of Cake with Properties of Hard Wheat FlourHanee Al-DmoorThe most important factor in cakes making is the availability of soft wheat flour. Sometimes cake flour is producing by milling hard wheat because the shortage of soft wheat flour. The aim of this study is to identify a specification for production cake flour from hard wheat which gives a high quality of cake products. Protein %, ash %, wet … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 6 Jul 2013 · 7,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAttitudes Towards Linkage Mechanism Researh of Agricultural Research and ExtensionAhmad Al-Rimawi, Mohammad Tabieh, Hussein Al-QudahThe aim of this study is to examine how linkages between the actors in the research and extension system in Jordan can be improved to enhance their effectiveness. Likert scales were used as tools for data collection to measure attitudes towards management, organizational and universities linkages using a convenient sample of 121 extension agents and researchers. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2013 · 7,782 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Robust Recognition System for Pecan Weevil using Artificial Neural NetworksSaleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Pecan Weevil is a widely found pest among pecan trees and these pests are known to cause significant damage to the pecan trees resulting in enormous annual losses to pecan growers. Traditional identification techniques for pecan weevil include traps with pheromones to detect the infestation of these pests. However, these traditional methods require expensive labor hours to set-up … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Star Topology based Multicast Key Management AlgorithmK. Saravanan, T. PurusothamanProblem statement: Secure group communication is very important for many applications such as internet pay sites. It provides efficient delivery of identical data to only the customers in the group. In large and dynamic multicast groups, the group keys of members have to be changed frequently whenever the member leaves or joins. A common method is to apply a symmetric … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Processing of Constraints based Spatial Join using R-TreesR. Parvathi, S. PalaniammalProblem statement: This study focuses on the spatial join effects with the constraints-based spatial data without any extra cost and Finding the minimum execution time of the spatial query and spatial selection method. Approach: Spatial joins are used to combine the spatial objects. The efficient processing depends upon the spatial queries. The execution time and I/O time of spatial queries … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 29 Oct 2011 · 6,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRural Students’ Skills and Attitudes Towards Information and Communication TechnologyHairulliza M. Judi, Hazilah M. Amin, Nor A.M. Zin, Rodziah LatihProblem statement: Despite various initiatives and programmes by the government to incorporate ICT in education, not much research has been done to evaluate the achievement of these initiatives and programmes, including ICT proficiency among students. This study fills in the gap of lack of current information pertaining to the Malaysian secondary school students’ ICT competencies, knowledge on internet and attitudes … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 7,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLogo Recognition System Using Angular Radial Transform DescriptorsOmar Mohammed Wahdan, Khairuddin Omar, Mohammad Faidzul NasrudinProblem statement: The shape-based logo recognition systems have been developed to automate the logo registration process. The logo recognition operation faces many challenges such as having to recognize logos that might be scaled, rotated, translated and added with noises. Different types of logo’s shapes further add to the complex nature of this problem. Approach: We developed a logo recognition system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 26 Jul 2011 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign For Test Technique for Leakage Power Reduction in Nanoscale Static Random Access MemoryN. M. Sivamangai, GunavathiProblem statement: As technology scales down, the integration density of transistors increases and most of the power is dissipated as leakage. Leakage power reduction is achieved in Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells by increasing the source voltage (source biasing) of the SRAM array. Another promising issue in nanoscaled devices is the process parameter variations. Due to these variations, higher … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 6,509 accessesView PDFCite
