Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effectiveness of Quality Circle Participation in Industrial and Service Organizations in MalaysiaT. R. Abo-Alhol, M. Y. Ismail, S. M. Sapuan, M. M. HamdanQuality Circle (QC) proponents suggest a wide array of positive results when this participation technique is used either in manufacturing or in service sector. This study is to determine whether QCs in one sector are performing more effectively than the other. This assessment includes technical aspects, length of participation, training, members' feelings about QCs, job satisfaction and job commitment. The … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2005 · 7,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrong Dependence at the Long Run and the Cyclical Frequencies in the Specification of the US Unemployment RateL. A. Gil-AlanaThis study deals with the presence of long range dependence at the long run and the cyclical frequencies in the specification of the US unemployment rate. We use a parametric procedure that permits us to test unit and fractional roots in raw time series. The results show that both the long run and the cyclical structures present a component of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractED-XRF Analysis of Total Suspended Particulates from Enamelware Manufacturing IndustryJ. A. Sonibare, F. A. Akeredolu, O. Osibanjo, I. LatinwoConcentration and elemental composition of the total suspended particulates (TSP) emitted due to manufacturing activities of an enamelware industry in Lagos, Nigeria were investigated. Gravimetric method was used in mass concentration determination and an energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) analyzer was employed in the multi-elemental analysis. The Federal Ministry of Environment (FMENV, Nigeria's environment regulating body) set limit of 250 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReplacement Heifer Selection in A Beef Cattle HerdAkin Pala, Roger McCrawThe relationship between a heifer's weaning weight and her fertility and weaning weight of her calves was studied. Also investigated was the effect of dam amount of fat (DAF=dam weaning weight/weaning height) on heifers' ability to breed and rebreed. This is similar to Body Mass Index (BMI) calculated for humans. The relationship of dam's average daily gain from birth to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation of Cellulosic Membrane Containing Pyrrolidone Moiety Via Radiation Induced Grafting and its Application in Wastewater TreatmentA. S. Aly, H. H. Sokker, A. Hashem, A. HebeishRadiation induced grafting of vinyl pyrrolidone onto cellulose wood pulp was carried out in heterogeneous and homogenous media using gamma radiation. Cellulose wood pulp was used in different forms; a) in a homogenous solution by dissolving the wood pulp in N,N- dimethylacetamide/Lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl) mixture , b) in a membrane form, by precipitating the cellulose solution in water and c) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy and Carbon Flux Coupling: Multi-ecosystem Comparisons Using Artificial Neural NetworkAssefa M. Melesse, Rodney S. HanleyA multi-ecosystems carbon flux simulation from energy fluxes is presented. A new statistical learning technique based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) back propagation algorithm and multi-layer perceptron architecture was used in the CO2 simulation. Four input layers (net radiation, soil heat flux, sensible and latent heat flux) were used for training (calibration) and testing (verification) of model outputs. The 15-days … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling of Wastewater Oxidation under Microgravity ConditionsBoyun Guo, Donald W. Holder, David S. SchechterVolatile removal assembly (VRA) is a module installed in the International Space Station for removing contaminants (volatile organics) in the wastewater produced by the crew. The VRA contains a slim pack bed reactor to perform catalyst oxidation of the wastewater at elevated pressure and temperature under microgravity conditions. Optimal design of the reactor requires a thorough understanding about how the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution of Biomicrofacies and Cement Types in the Changxing Formation (Upper Permian), Western Hubei-eastern Sichuan Provinces, South ChinaMutwakil Nafi, Xia WenchenThe Changxing formation is subdivided into lower, middle and upper parts. Four types of microfacies were recognized in the Changxing formation. They include SMF-3, SMF-6, SMF-7 and SMF-19. The Changxing Formation is composed of deep basin margin, platform margin and open restricted platform environments. The lower, middle and upper parts are dominated by deep basin margin facies, platform margin facies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
