Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Process of Getting Identity in Turkish Society: Kemalist EducationNihat AycanEducation has different meanings according to the structure of the society and it works as to the structure. In one hand, it prepares the members of a society to the world standards changing rapidly and on the other hand, by designating the future form of the societies, increases its significance day by day. As Atatürk indicates education has an important … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards a Scalable File System on Computer Clusters Using DeclusteringVu Anh Nguyen, Samuel Pierre, Dougoukolo KonaréThis study addresses the scalability issues involving file systems as critical components of computer clusters, especially for commercial applications. Given that wide striping is an effective means of achieving scalability as it warrants good load balancing and allows node cooperation, we choose to implement a new data distribution scheme in order to achieve the scalability of computer clusters. We suggest … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPressure-sensitivity Effects on Toughness Measurements of Compact Tension Specimens for Strain-hardening SolidsAbdulhamid A. Al-AbduljabbarThe path-independent J-integral is used as a fracture prediction criterion for loading beyond the elastic limit as Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) cannot be applied. While J was originally defined from an energy perspective, it was demonstrated that it could be inferred from load-displacement diagrams. Therefore, the Compact Tension (CT) specimen testing is used to compute J for materials. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphing Mechanisms Part 1: Using Iterative Learning Control to Morph Cam Follower MotionNonglak Phetkong, Meng-Sang Chew, Richard W. LongmanThis study introduces the concept of morphing mechanisms. Mechanisms are normally designed for specific operating conditions and once they are built one may wish to use them under different operating conditions. In some cases, a mechanism may be imperfectly fabricated and one would like to get the intended ideal performance. In these cases, instead of designing, fabricating and replacing the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Reconstructed Basins Using Pattern Spectrum ProcedureP. RadhakrishnanSeveral classical and Fractal binary shapes, which are akin to geophysical shapes such as basins, lakes, and pore-grain spruce, are analyzed and characterized by employing various mathematical morphological transformations, and methods. By employing rhombus, square and octagon structuring elements, these shapes are decomposed into their skeletal networks and their corresponding skeletal network subsets are dilated to the respective degree by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFirms and their Responsibility towards NatureJerome Ballet, Damien BazinCorporate social responsibility is increasingly discussed in economics and management studies today. Corporate leaders often make use of this concept, which finds its origins in philosophy, to analyse the normative behaviour of their companies. But what exactly is corporate responsibility? Is it a mere concept currently in vogue, or is it a new structural approach which could indeed take responsibility … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach for Authentication TechniqueAlaa H. Al-Hamami, Saad A. Al-AniOne of the serious problems is how to authenticate the passport document for its holder. The major factor of this authenticity is the corresponding of the Passport's photo with its holder. Most of the Passport document contains a holder's signature in addition, of course, to the full name. We propose a firm authentication method by extracting some features for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaterno-Foetal Transmission of Murine Toxoplasmosis after Oral InfectionJamal Hafid, Bahrie Bellete, Pierre Flori et al.The effect of maternofoetal transmission of T. gondii as measured by the mortality rate in the mother, the foetus and the neonate were studied in the mouse model OF1. Ninety six female mice divided into two groups of 48 were infected with the Prugniaud strain before or after mating. When the time of mating was near the day of infection … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2005 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExergoeconomic Analysis of a Refrigeration CycleDurriye Bilge, Galip TemirThe exergoeconomic theory is applied to a two stage vapour compression refrigeration cycle. An exergy-aided cost analysis, taking into account pressure drops and heat gain/loss for all of the components in the refrigeration system as well as the pipe connections, has been made. Exergoeconomic factors, showing whether the monetary expenditures mostly originate from capital investment and Operating and Maintenance (O&M) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
