Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Fertilization and Clipping of Phlomis fruticosa L. on a Phryganic Ecosystem: The Case of Thesprotia, Northwest GreeceCh. Roukos, K. Papanikolaou, E. Nikolaou et al.This study examined the effectiveness of various shrub control treatments (N+P fertilization, clipping of Phlomis fruticosa and clipping combined with N+P fertilization), to reduce shrub cover and encourage the growth of palatable herbaceous vegetation. Dry matter production and Crude Protein (CP) content of palatable herbaceous vegetation were determined annually from 2004 to 2006. Experimental plots received rains of 691.7, 532.9 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGamma Radiosensitivity Study on Chili (Capsicum annuum)Shairul Rizdiyandi Omar, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Shaharudin Saamin, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidInduced mutation by gamma irradiation has been found to be a very useful technique for crop improvement. Apart from this, the proper use of induced mutation in plant breeding has become a profitable approach. This investigation was carried out to determine the LD50 and effect of gamma rays on germination, plant height, survival percentage, root length, root dry weight and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 9,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping QTLs Linked to Physio-Morphological and Plant Production Traits under Drought Stress in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the Target EnvironmentS. Michael Gomez, S. Satheesh Kumar, P. Jeyaprakash et al.Drought stress is a major constraint for rice (Oryza sativa L.) production and yield stability in rainfed ecosystems. Identifying genomic regions (QTLs) contributing in drought resistance will help to develop rice cultivars suitable for water-limiting environments through marker-assisted breeding. QTLs linked to physio-morphological and plant production traits under drought stress in the field were mapped by evaluating 177 F6 recombinant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 14,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Diagnosis on Discrete Event SystemsSihem Kechida, Nasr Eddine DebbacheThe modern technology advances to a point where it is possible and extensively desirable to improve reliability and the technical process safety. This is achieved by computer implanted FDI procedures (Fault Detection and Isolation). However, the malfunction of actuators, sensors and of the process components, as well as erroneous actions of human operators can have some disastrous consequences in high … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite

A development technology concentrates on minimizing the total costs and provides extended opportunities for improvement of network operation, from the initial planning stage. The study illustrate the mathematical and the algorithm of the branch and bound method with an example to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMethod of Efficiency Improvement in District Heating SystemsAndrey Gennadiievich Batuhtin, Maxim Stanislavovich Bass, Sergey Anatoljevich Ivanov et al.The article determines application potential of solar energy in conditions of sharply continental climate. It presents an energy-efficient solar energy recovery scheme in district heating systems, allowing to reduce capital costs and maintenance charges and to increase degree of substitution of conventional sources of heat. Versatility of systems using this method results in its multi-zone application: From a cottage-type house … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2016 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRegeneration of Lyes for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) Processes in Dairies: Comparison of Recycled Potash and Soda Solutions Cleaning PropertiesMarie Furic, Anne Elain, Walid Blel, Olivier SireThe regeneration of lyes for their integration in the dairy CIP was investigated applying an original process combining adsorption/coagulation and flocculation operations. Solutions of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and caustic soda (NaOH) soiled with 1% (v/v) of whole milk were submitted up to twenty successive regeneration cycles. The multiple recycling of the regenerated solutions was found to modify their physicochemical characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 6 Jul 2015 · 6,624 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPotential Plant Species for Live Pole Application in Tropical EnvironmentSasan Mafian, Bujang B.K. Huat, Nordin A. Rahman, Harwant SinghProblem statement: Slope instability causing landslides, a major geologic hazard, is a risk common to most regions. Among all categories of landslides, shallow slope failures which affect many hill slopes and earthwork projects are the most wide spread and pose the most costly maintenance problem. One of the soil improvement methods that seem suitable for preventing shallow slope failures is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
