Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehavior of Stabilized Peat Soils in Unconfined Compression TestsWong Leong Sing, Roslan Hashim, Faisal Haji AliProblem statement: Deep stabilized peat columns were known to be economical at forming foundations to support highway embankments constructed on deep peat land. However, failure in the formation of the columns with adequate strength was often attributed to unsuitable type and insufficient dosage of binder added to the soil. Organic matter in peat was known to impede the cementing process … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFarmers' Use of Integrated Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management Practices for Sustainable Crop Production: A Field-level Study in BangladeshM. Golam Farouque, Hiroyuki TekeyaProblem statement: The most pressing problem for Bangladesh agriculture is the current state of gradual decreasing of soil fertility, stagnating crop yields and declining productivity in a range of food crops. According to crop production scientists, Integrated Soil Fertility (ISF) and Nutrient Management (NM) is an advanced approach that can serve as a remedy to improve crop yields and to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementing a Large Data Bus VLIW MicroprocessorWeng Fook Lee, Ali Yeon Md ShakaffMicroprocessors have grown tremendously in its computing and data crunching capability since the early days of the invention of a microprocessor. Today, most microprocessors in the market are at 32 bits, while the latest microprocessors from IBM, Intel and AMD are at 64 bits. To further grow the computational capability of a microprocessor, there are two possible paths. One method … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method for Optimal Harmonic Meter PlacementA. Ketabi, S.A. HosseiniIn this research, a new method based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed to solve the problem of optimal placement of meters for static estimation of harmonic sources in a power system. Also, the Binary Genetic Algorithm (BGA) is used to solve the problem of optimization. IEEE 14-bus test system is provided to validate the measurement placement algorithm. It … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Unequal Error Protection Using Maximum A- posteriori Probability Algorithm and Modified MAP in Additive White Gaussian Noise and Fading ChannelT. Gnanasekaran, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: In this study we propose a method to improve the performance of Maximum A-Posteriori Probability Algorithm, which is used in turbo decoder. Previously the performance of turbo decoder is improved by means of scaling the channel reliability value. Approach: A modification in MAP algorithm proposed in this study, which achieves further improvement in forward error correction by means … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater Using Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce And Parrot’s FeatherA. M. Snow, A. E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot’s feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot’s feather yields were 83, 51 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiochemical Properties of Sago Starch Modified by Acid Treatment in AlcoholP.H. Yiu, S.L. Loh, A. Rajan et al.Sago starch is usually chemically modified to overcome and improve the unstable properties of native sago starch during processing. In this study, sago starch was treated in hydrochloric acid in the presence of methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol at 450C for 1 hour. Granule size, granular structure and solubility of the modified starch were investigated. Results showed that recovery yields of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Distance Based Route Maintenance Strategy for Dynamic Source Routing ProtocolMuhammad F. Sjaugi, Mohamed Othman, Mohd. Fadlee A. RasidAlthough DSR can respond a route quickly, it yields a long delay when a route is rebuilt. This is because when source node receives RERR packet, it will try to find alternative routes from the route cache. If alternative routes are not available, the source node, then, will enter route discovery phase to find new routes. We introduced a new … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Hydroponically Grown Macrophytes for Their Suitability as Fish FeedA. M. Snow, Abdel E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly in the hydroponics system and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Assessment of Hydroponically Grown Cereal Crops for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater and the Production of Fish FeedA. M. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, A. SnowHydroponically grown wheat, barley and oats were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. Wheat, barley and oats seeds were germinated in water in a hydroponics system. The seedlings then received wastewater from an aquaculture system stocked with Arctic charr. During the experiment, the crops grew rapidly and fairly uniformly and showed no signs of mineral deficiency … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,167 accessesView PDFCite
