Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Invariant Translation to Denoise Electroencephalogram SignalsJanett Walters-Williams, Yan LiProblem statement: Because of the distance between the skull and the brain and their different resistivity's, Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings on a machine is usually mixed with the activities generated within the area called noise. EEG signals have been used to diagnose major brain diseases such as Epilepsy, narcolepsy and dementia. The presence of these noises however can result in misdiagnosis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical Investigation and Electronic Polarizability of Nd3+ Doped Soda-Lime-Silicate GlassesP. Chimalawong, J. Kaewkhao, P. LimsuwanProblem statement: This study researched on different physical and optical properties of Nd3+ doped soda-lime-silicate glass. The glasses containing Nd3+ in (65-x)SiO2: 25Na2O: 10CaO: xNd2O3 (where x = 0.0-5.0 mol%) had been prepared by melt-quenching method. The density and molar volume increase with increasing of Nd2O3 concentration due to increasing of Non Bridging Oxygen (NBOs) in glass matrix. The optical … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Total Solid Contents on Biogas Yield from Cattle Manure Using Rumen Fluid InoculumBudiyono, I. N. Widiasa, S. Johari, SunarsoProblem statement: Anaerobic digestion was a biological method used to convert organic wastes into biogas and a stable product for land application without adverse environmental effects. The biogas produced could be used as an alternative renewable energy source. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of total solid contents on biogas yield from cattle manure using fluid … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 12,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Heterogeneity in Phase II Clinical TrialsChristopher N. Barnes, Shesh N. RaiProblem statement: The common assumption in non-randomized Phase II clinical trials is a homogeneous population with homogeneous response. This assumption is at odds with many trials today; a heterogeneous response due to the existence of subgroups. Approach: In order to examine the effects of heterogeneity on the trial outcome, a systematic platform is developed to quantify the range and classes … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on the Effect of Allylisothiocyanate Formulations on Three Lepidopterous Insect Larvae, the Diamond Back Moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), the Small Cabbage White Butterfly, Pieris rapae (L.) and Tobacco Cut Worm, Spodoptera litura FabrE. M. Eltayeb, Guo-An Zhang, Jiu-Gao Xie, Feng-Yu MiProblem statement: The toxicity of seven of Allylisothiocyanate (AITC) formulations, AITC pure and in mixture with cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos, was evaluated using spray application and fumigation method against the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), the small cabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae (L.) and the tobacco cut worm, Spodoptera litura Fabr. Approach: Response varied according to insect species, specific formulation and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Thermophilic Cellulase-Producing Bacteria from Empty Fruit Bunches-Palm Oil Mill Effluent CompostAzhari Samsu Baharuddin, Mohamad Nafis Abd Razak, Lim Siong Hock et al.Problems statement: Lack of information on locally isolated cellulase-producing bacterium in thermophilic compost using a mixture of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as composting materials. Approach: The isolation of microbes from compost heap was conducted at day 7 of composting process where the mixture of composting materials consisted of 45.8% cellulose, 17.1% hemicellulose and 28.3% … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 12,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA GA Based Transmission Network Expansion Planning Considering Voltage Level, Network Losses and Number of Bundle LinesS. Jalilzadeh, H. Shayeghi, M. Mahdavi, H. HadadianTransmission Network Expansion Planning (TNEP) was studied considering voltage level, network losses and number of bundle lines using decimal codification based genetic algorithm (DCGA).
