Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Productivity and Human Capital in the Japanese Software Industry: The View of Service InnovationKazunori Minetaki, Toshihiko TakemuraProblem statement: It has been pointed out the weak competitiveness of Japanese software industry. The industrial characteristic of the software industry in Japan is the subcontract system. There are numerous pieces of anecdotal evidence suggesting that the Japanese software industry suffers from low productivity growth on a par with that of other non-manufacturers particularly those in the services sector. In … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPractical and Novel Sterilization Approach for the Pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus BacteriaRaftari Mohammad, Azizi Jalilian Farid, A.S. Abdulamir et al.Problem statement: Decontaminating meat surfaces has been the big concern of meat industry. Thus, various intervention strategies have been studied to reduce the level of bacteria on animals’ carcass surfaces. Approach: Mixture of different concentrations 1, 1.5 and 2% of acetic, lactic, propionic and formic acids at 1:1 ratio were spray washed on inoculated meat to evaluate their efficacy in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution onto a Low-Cost Natural Jordanian TripoliAtef S. ALzaydienProblem statement: It is well documented that lead is one of contaminants of industrial wastewaters and its pollution exists in the wastewater of many industries. As a result, recent research has focused on the development of cost effective alternatives using various natural sources and industrial wastes. In this setting, the use of low-cost agricultural materials, waste and residues for recovering … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Evaluation Techniques of Processing the ECG SignalMikhled Alfaouri, Khaled DaqrouqIn this research, methods to detect and evaluate the main parameters of the ECG signal are presented in order to improve its clinical properties. Two techniques are addressed in this research, Piecewise method and the Analytical Approach. These techniques are used to determine such as: percent (rms) difference (PRD), signal-noise-ratio (SNR) and the compression ratio (CR) which are used to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical Character Recognition System for Arabic Text Using Cursive Multi-Directional ApproachMansoor Al-A'ali, Jamil AhmadThis paper presents a novel new technique based on feature extraction and on dynamic cursor sizing for the recognition of Arabic Text. The most challenging area in Arabic OCR (AOCR) research is the segmentation of words into their sub-words and their individual characters. Several rules are defined that govern the size and movement of the cursor through each segment. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHemisphere Sizing from Linear Intercept MeasurementWilfried GilleThe stereological problem of unfolding the hemisphere radius distribution from the chord length distribution is analyzed. Let a stationary isotropic process of hemispheres be given. The hemispheres have random diameters and are isotropically uniformly randomly orientated in space. A straight line probe yields a process of intercepts. The inverse problem of re-obtaining the size distribution of the hemispheres in terms … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Stability of a Certain Class of Linear Time-Varying SystemsM. De la SenThis study firstly considers the exponential stability of unforced linear systems of slowly time-varying dynamics. Possible switchings of the system structure to unstable dynamics during certain finite time intervals are admitted. The maintenance of global exponential stability does not necessarily require at most a finite number of switchings in the dynamics while infinitely many switches can also lead to stability. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,935 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Difference Solution for Precooling Process of Fish PackagesK. A. Abbas, F. A. Ansari, A. S. Mokhtar et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure convection heat transfer in slab shaped fresh water fish pieces. A generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form and an optimized scheme of the solutions was worked out. A fully explicit finite difference scheme, an implicit finite difference scheme and different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
