Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpecting the Unexpected Macroeconomic Volatility and Climate PolicyGajendra Singh ChauhanProblem statement: Analysts have been comparing a policy scenario with a baseline scenario of future economic conditions without the policy, to estimate the emissions reductions and costs of a climate policy. Both scenarios required assumptions about the future course of numerous factors such as population growth, technical change and non-climate policies like taxes. Approach: The purpose of this study was … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Soil Structures Using Pseudo Static MethodB. Munwar Basha, G.L. Sivakumar BabuProblem statement: This study presented a method to evaluate the internal stability of reinforced soil structures against tension and pullout modes of failure using pseudo-static method for earthquake conditions. Approach: Using limit equilibrium method and assuming the failure surface to be logarithmic spiral, analysis was conducted to maintain internal stability against both tensile and pullout failure of the reinforcements. For … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity Analysis of the Gohilwari Breed of Indian Goat (Capra hircus) Using Microsatellite MarkersSubodh Kumar, S. P. Dixit, N. K. Verma et al.Problem statement: Gohilwari breed of goat is a multipurpose goat mainly for milk and meat purposes and best suited in its harsh climatic condition. This breed is inadequately characterized till now at DNA level. So the present study was undertaken for population genetic analysis at molecular level to exploit the breed for planning sustainable improvement, conservation and utilization, which subsequently … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Removal of Methyl Red from Aqueous Solutions Using Banana Pseudostem FibersMas Rosemal H. Mas Haris, Kathiresan SathasivamProblem statement: The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of methyl red, a mutagenic monoazo dye, from various aqueous solutions using banana pseudostem fibers of the size 212-350 micron.
