Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving a PCR-Based Method for Identification of Ralstonia solanacearum in Natural Sources of West MalaysiaReza Khakvar, Kamaruzaman Sijam, Wong Mui Yun et al.Ralstonia solanacearum, a soil-borne plant pathogen, causes lethal wilting disease of more than 200 plants worldwide. This very wide host range covers both monocots and dicots, extending from annual plants to trees and shrubs. Although generally it’s considered as a plant pathogen, R. solanacearum behaves primarily as a saprophytic bacterium able to survive for long periods of time in various … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 9,469 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Risk Management Strategy Plan Using Nonparametric Estimation of Hazard RateAflaton Amiri, Ramin TabatabaeiEarthquake risk is defined as the product of hazard and vulnerability studies. The main aims of earthquake risk management are to make plans and apply those for reducing human losses and protect properties from earthquake hazards. Natural risk managers are studying to identify and manage the risk from an earthquake for highly populated urban areas. They want to put some … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,744 accessesView PDFCite

One of the areas of interest is slide capturing system for cervical cancer pre-screening program. An automated microscope with FireWire digital camera will be used to acquire the image and store in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlants Responses to Nutrients Follow the Saturation Kinetic Typical of Enzyme Systems: Biological, Economical and Environmental ImplicationsR.P. LanaAgricultural efficiency has been associated with high plant productivity. However, it is dependent on fertilizers, which are nonrenewable resources. Crop production response to fertilizers is hyperbolic, following the Michaelis-Menten model and the law of diminishing return. Data of crop production (barley, bean, corn, cotton, soybean and wheat) as a function of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Approach for Detecting Attacks in Mobile Adhoc NetworksV. Madhu Viswanatham, A. A. ChariThe security of data becomes more important with the increased use of commercial applications over wireless network environments. We presented an approach to handle various attacks for wireless networks. There were several problems of security in wireless networks due to intruders and different type of attacks such as Node Isolation, Route Disruption and Resource Consumption. There were better methods and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing on the Biological Degradation of Toluene under Aerobic ConditionsAbdel E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, K. MartinellThe effectiveness of in-vessel bioremediation in reducing the concentration of toluene in contaminated soil under continuous and intermittent mixing conditions using invessel composting system. The results showed that there was a startup period (60 h) during which the average temperature rose from 21 to 32 and 40°C (and then remained constant) for the bioreactors with continuous and intermittent mixing, respectively. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Low-Temperature Technology of Producing Calcium Feed Phosphate with MicroelementsJózef HoffmannThe possibility of producing feed calcium phosphates in a way ensuring a low physical water content in the product was investigated in laboratory conditions. For this purpose the process use of a phosphoric acid solution with a higher (than in conventional methods) P2O5 content (53-63% by wt. P2O5) with CaO (molar fraction of 0.5-0.8) and CaCO3 in the phosphoric acid … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Air and Groundwater Pollution from Continuous High Land Application of Cheese WheyA.E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, N.S. MahmoudExperiments were performed, using eighteen 280 cm deep soil columns with 20 cm inside diameter, to determine the relative amounts of nitrogenous compounds leached and volatilized from soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey during two seasons. Three soils (loamy sand, sandy loam and sandy clay loam) and two cheese whey application rates (560 and 840 kg-N ha-1), that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorpho-physiological Differences of the Spermatheca of Attini Ants (Hymenoptera: Myrmicinae)Gabriela Ortiz, Maria Izabel Camargo-MathiasThe insect's spermatheca store the spermatozoa from the time of copulation until the fertilization of the eggs and consists of a sac, usually associated to glands. The ant species Atta laevigata, Atta sexdens sexdens, Atta sexdens piriventris, Acromyrmex coronatus and Cyphomyrmex muelleri are considered pests, as they cause economics losses to several crops. The spermatheca of these species were examined … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredictive Autonomicity of Web Services in the MAWeS FrameworkEmilio P. Mancini, Massimiliano Rak, Roberto Torella, Umberto VillanoIn Web Services designs classical optimization techniques are not applicable. A possible solution to guarantee critical requirements is the use of an autonomic architecture, able to auto-configure and to auto-tune. This study presents MAWeS (MetaPL/HeSSE Autonomic Web Services), a framework whose aim is to support the development of self-optimizing predictive autonomic systems for Web service architectures. It adopts a simulation-based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
