Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Architectural Outer Shape and Function of Buildings: Behaviour Study on Building Constructed in ChinaISSA. A.M. Al-Kahtani, Suhaib Yahya Kasim Al-DarziThe present study attempted to investigate the behaviour of some projects designed and constructed in China during the last decades from an architectural view point and their compatibility with respect to the relationship between the outer shape and function of the building. The study includes different groups of architectural works including; Culture architecture, Education architecture, Office architecture and Hotel architecture … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetals Concentrations in Tissues of Tilapia gallier, Crarias lazera and Osteoglossidae Caught from Alau Dam, Maiduguri, Borno State, NigeriaG.A. Dimari, F.I. Abdulrahman, J.C. Akan, S.T. GarbaAn analysis of intestine, liver, stomach and gill tissue concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Co, Pb, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cd and Zn) in three commercially important fish species (Tilapia gallier, Crarias lazera and Osteoglossidae. caught within Alau Dam between the periods of January to August, 2007. These heavy metals were determined using Perkin-Elmer AAnalyst 300 Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation, Selection and Assessment of Guidelines for Chemical Stabilization of Tropical Residual SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Asmidar Alias, Azlan Abdul AzizSoil stabilization has been widely used as an alternative to substitute the lacking of suitable materials on site. Guidelines and standards have been developed to assist practitioners in designing structures such as road by mean of stabilization. This paper presents the results of an investigation aimed at evaluating and assessing the suitable guidelines for the stabilization of tropical residual soils. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Estimation of Logistic Probability Model of Binomial Data: Simulation ComparisonZaki. J. Al- Sarraf, Faris M. Al- Athari, Hilmi F. KittaniProperties of various types of estimators of the regression coefficients in linear logistic regression models were considered. The estimators include those based on maximum likelihood, minimum chi-square and weighted least squares. The results of a large scale simulation investigation evaluating the moment properties of the estimators are presented for the case of logistic model with a single explanatory variable. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,694 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValorization of Drinking Water Treatment Sludges as Raw Materials to Produce Concrete and MortarR.M. Ramirez Zamora, O. Ceron Alfaro, N. Cabirol et al.The purpose of this work was to assess the technical feasibility to valorize sludges, generated and stored at the Los Berros drinking water facility (PPLB), as raw material to produce building products (mortar and concrete) for the construction industry. The experimental study was divided into three stages: 1) sampling and characterization of PPLB sludges to determine their potential as raw … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Structure Interaction between Two Adjacent Buildings under Earthquake LoadMahmoud Yahyai, Masoud Mirtaheri, Mehrab Mahoutian et al.In some cases, tall buildings are located in geotechnically unsuitable places, due to their high ratio of height to width; there is risk of uplift and other effects such as overturning and reduction structure serviceability during earthquake. This research is aimed to evaluate the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on seismic behavior of two adjacent 32 story buildings such as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 9,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Tactile Sensor for Detection of Skin Surface Morphology and its Application in Telemedicine SystemsRoozbeh Khodambashi, Siamak Najarian, Ali Tavakoli Golpaygani et al.We proposed a new type of tactile sensor that is capable of determining the surface morphology of skin lesions. The sensor consists of a brass cylinder with an axial bore. Three peripheral bobbins were machined in the cylinder around which three coils have been wound. An iron core can easily move inside the bore. One of the coils acts as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 9,474 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoric Acid Levels in Fresh Noodles and Fish BallPang-Hung Yiu, Jian See, Amartalingam Rajan, Choon-Fah J. BongBoric acid (H3BO3) is detrimental to human health if consumed in excess.
