Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Biological Treatment of Low Level Pesticide WastewaterAbdel E. Ghaly, Deepika DavePesticides are chemical substances intended to protect food crops and livestock from pests in order to pro-mote agricultural productivity and protect public health. Contamination of soil, air and water and threat to human and animal health are the major constraints in the use of pesticides. Treatment of pesticide contaminated water is, therefore, paramount. Biological treatment provides the most economical option … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 4 Jul 2012 · 8,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCustomers’ Attitude towards Diminishing Partnership Home Financing in Islamic BankingDzuljastri Abdul Razak, Muhamad AbduhProblem statement: Diminishing partnership or musharakah mutanaqisah contract in home financing is recently introduced by the Islamic banking industry as an alternative of the bay bi’thaman ajil contract which has received many criticism from shariah scholars as mimicking conventional loan. This study aims to examine customers’ attitude upon diminishing partnership home financing and their intention to subscribe into the financing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2012 · 7,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Polymorphism at the Insulin Like Growth Factor-I Gene in Mazandaran Native Chicken using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism MethodHossein Ali Abbasi, Mohsen KazemiProblem statement: Molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in chickens. The Insulin like Growth Factor-I (IGF1) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. Approach: In the present study polymorphism of the promoter and 5' untranslated region of IGF-1 gene of Mazandaran … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 Aug 2011 · 7,627 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Analysis of a Two Dissimilar-Unit Cold Standby Redundant System Subject to Inspection and Random Change in UnitsG. S. Mokaddis, C. H. MattaProblem statement: This study deled with the cost analysis of a two dissimilar unit cold standby redundant system subject to inspection and random change in units. In this system each unit works in two different modes normal and total failure. Assuming that the failure, repair, post repair, interchange of units and inspection times are stochastically independent random variables each having … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethod of Fingerprint IdentificationSurachai PanichProblem statement: The main task of this study was finding out an effective algorithm in order to match two fingerprints taken from database. The fingerprint identification techniques used in a small database in order to find out an effective algorithm to develop the accuracy in matching process. Higher-level application of this proposed algorithm was determined. Approach: The main objectives in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 24 Aug 2010 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompare Between Two-Unit Cold Standby and Warm Standby Outdoor Electric Power Systems in Changing WeatherG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Entesar Al-EsayehProblem statement: This study presents the reliability analysis of two mathematical models representing electric power systems operating in fluctuating outdoor weather (i.e., normal and stormy weather) and compared between two models. Approach: Model I deals the reliability analysis of a single-server two-unit cold standby, Model II deals the reliability analysis of a single-server two-unit warm standby, for two systems with … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWorldviews in Isan-Thai StoriesJaruwan Thammawat, Pathom Hongsuwan, Wajuppa TossaProblem statement: This study aimed to investigate two-fold: To present worldviews in Isan-Thai Stories and to explain the connections between the worldviews and their societal contexts. Approach: Following the methodology of folklore studies, both oral and written versions of Isan-Thai stories were analyzed in order to find out their structures, contents, motifs and contexts. The 76 stories which were chosen … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Thyristor Control Series Capacitor Neuro-Controller for Damping OscillationsM. Magaji, M. W. MustafaThis study applies a neural-network-based optimal TCSC controller for damping oscillations. Optimal neural network controller is related to model-reference adaptive control, the network controller is developed based on the recursive "pseudo-linear regression". Problem statement: The optimal NN controller is designed to damp out the low frequency local and inter-area oscillations of the large power system. Approach: Two multilayer-perceptron neural networks … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Optical Properties of ZnO-TeO2 Glass SystemH. A.A. Sidek, S. Rosmawati, Z. A. Talib et al.Problem statement: Systematic series of ZnO-TeO2 glasses with mole fraction of 0.10-0.40 ZnO content with an interval of 0.05 were studied to obtain their physical and optical properties. Approach: All the glass samples were synthesized by rapid melting quenching method under controlled conditions, while their refractive indices (n) were measured by the EL X-02C high precision ellipsometer. The room temperature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 14,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneralization Aspect of Neural Networks on Upgrading Assimilation Structure into Accommodating SchemeWaleed, A. J. Rasheed, Hamza A. AliProblem statement: Generalization feature enhancement of neural networks, especially feed forward structural model has limited progress. The major reason behind such limitation is attributed to the principal definition and the inability to interpret it into convenient structure. Traditional schemes, unfortunately have regarded generalization as an innate outcome of the simple association, referred to by Pavlov and had been modeled by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,149 accessesView PDFCite
