Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePHENOTYPICAL AND MASS SPECTRAL ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF SOME CONTAGIOUS MASTITIS PATHOGENSA. El Behiry, Rasha Nabil Zahran, Eman Marzouk, Musaad Al-DabibMastitis is one of the most economic disease affecting dairy cows worldwide. Identification of mastitis pathogens still depends principally on culture and phenotypical method, which is a difficult and time-consuming. Newly, microbiologists have focused their attention on the use of Mass Spectrometry (MS) for microbial identification, especially Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-Of-Flight (MALDI-TOF). Therefore, this study was designated to … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 29 May 2014 · 8,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDRYING METHODS AND THEIR IMPLICATION ON QUALITY, QUANTITY AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF THE ESSENTIAL OIL OF LAURUS NOBILIS L. FROM MOROCCOKhadija Dahak, Hafida Bouamama, Fatiha Benkhalti, Moha TaourirteThe effects of various methods of drying on the chemical quality and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Laurus nobilis were studied. The most prominent component in the air-dried, fresh leaf and microwave-dried leaf oils is 1,8 Cineole (58,8, 35.62 and 42,9% respectively). The essential oil has undergone significant chemical transformation in its monoterpenoids when the leaves of plant … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2014 · 7,550 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKRYLOV’S SUBSPACES ITERATIVE METHODS TO EVALUATE ELECTROSTATIC PARAMETERSMario Versaci, Alessandra Jannelli, Giovanni Angiulli, Francesco Carlo MorabitoMost of the electromagnetic problems can be stated in terms of an inhomogeneous equation Af = g in which A is a differential, integral or integro-differential operator, g in the exitation source and f is the unknown function to be determined. Methods of Moments (MoM) is a procedure to solve the equation above and, by means of an appropriate choice … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 Jan 2014 · 7,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVolatile Organic Compounds Removal Methods: A ReviewAydin Berenjian, Natalie Chan, Hoda Jafarizadeh MalmiriVolatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are among the most toxic chemicals which are detrimental to humans and environment. There is a significant need of fully satisfactory method for removal of VOCs. There are several methods including physical, chemical and biological treatments available to remove VOCs by either recovery or destruction. The aim of the present study is to summarize the available … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 24,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Common Maintenance Methods for Flexible PavementsAsma T. Ibraheem, Suda M. GaniProblem statement: With the increasing use and awareness of pavement management systems and the growing emphasis on asset management of pavement infrastructure, it is important to strengthen the maintenance components of these systems and particularly the preventive maintenance component. Iraqi Roads don’t receive an effective and proper maintenance during their service life until they reach the state of major failure … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2011 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWeighted Centroid Modified Simplex and Linear Constrained Response Surface Optimization Methods for the Xbar-R Chart Variable DeterminationPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Although economic Xbar-R chart designs do guarantee the minimal operating cost, they typically have poor levels of statistical performance measures. The obvious limitation of the economic design is that the Type I error rate seems to be very high for many situations and will cause a large number of false alarms. This situation leads to an investigation of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Legal Status of Eco-Labels and Product and Process Methods in the World Trade OrganizationJasper SteinProblem statement: The award of eco-labels to environmental friendly products or production and process methods of products is a measure to protect the environment by supporting environmental friendly products. WTO members award eco-labels to combine trade restrictions which are based on environmental protection and the general provisions of the WTO. Approach: This study examined the different types of Eco-labels and … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMethods of Utilizing Tropical Peat Land for Housing SchemeYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper discusses some of the methods and recent technologies in utilizing cheap marginal land such as tropical peat for housing scheme. Buildings on peat are usually suspended on piles, but ground around it may still settle.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Crosslinker and Monomer to the Polymerization of Polymethacrylamide Gel Dosimeters by Direct and Indirect MethodsElias Saion, A. H. Shaari, M. Z.A. Rahman et al.Radiation-induced polymerization in Polymethacrylamide Gels (PMAAGs) potentially used for 3D dose verification in radiotherapy has been studied using both Raman spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) method. The dosimeters are composed of aqueous Methacrylamide (MAA) monomer and N, N’ methyelene-bis-acrylamide (BIS) crosslinker at various concentrations from 2 to 6% (w/w) and gelatin at 6% (w/w). The dosimeters were irradiated to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDifferent Methods for Pion-nucleus Optical PotentialS. A.E. Khallaf, A. A. IbrahimElastic and inelastic cross-sections for pion scattering on 12C at pion kinetic energy ranging from 50 to 260 MeV are computed using three independent methods of π± -nucleus optical potential, the 3α-particle model of the nucleus, the equivalent local Kisslinger potential and the Laplacian one.
