Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Euro: Future Prospects and Consideration for Non-Euro CountriesFarhad Ghannadian, Irina PenovskaProblem statement: Many more Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) have decided to adopt the euro. Given the attraction and uncertainties associated with moving into a common currency, the potential gains and losses of a currency adoption was of academic and political interest. The economic impact of implementing a common currency was examined by studying the before and after of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2011 · 6,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective Queue Management Scheme for Data CommunicationSheela Thavasi, Nityanandam NatarajanProblem statement: The growth in the needs of Internet applications that transmit massive amount of data has led to the emergence of Effective Queue Management. Approach: Queues were used to smooth spikes in incoming packet rates and to allow the router sufficient time for packet processing. When the waiting time is less a better queue management is ensured thereby resulting … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Cooling and Supplemental Bovine Somatotropin on Milk Production relating to Body Glucose Metabolism and Utilization of Glucose by the Mammary Gland in Crossbred Holstein CattleSiravit Sitprija, Somchai Chanpongsang, Narongsak ChaiyabutrProblem statement: The low milk yield and shorter persistency of lactation of dairy cattle is the major problem for the dairy practices in the tropics. High environmental temperatures and rapid decline of plasma growth hormone level can influence milk production. Regulation of the milk yield of animals is mainly based on the mechanisms governing the quantity of glucose extracted by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach for Cooling Electronics Using a Combined Heat Pipe and Thermoelectric ModuleBanjerd Saengchandr, Nitin V. AfzulpurkarThe development of effective cooling systems for microprocessors, specifically for CPU and other computer chips, is greatly important due to growth of high speed performance chips, which operate at elevated heat rates. The same issues apply for adjacent units including RAM and HDD also contributing to overall generation of heat inside computer. Problem statement: Conventional cooling system for desktop PC … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeed Germination and Seedling Survival of Spartina alterniflora LoiselPatrick D. Biber, John D. CaldwellSpartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) is a widespread intertidal salt marsh plant that is frequently used in coastal restoration projects. Seeds collected in 2004 were tested for seed germination and seedling survival after 6 months of cold seed storage to determine differences among collection locations (experiment 1). Seeds collected in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, were tested for seed germination and seedling … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeatment of Work Camp Wastewater Using a Sequencing Batch Reactor Followed by a Sand FilterA. Rezaee, A. Khavanin, M. AnsariWork camps, have to be established quickly, are a transient nature and located in environmentally sensitive areas. Wastewater treatment systems located in the work camps often perform poorly. In response to these deficiencies and the need to provide for reliable, cost effective, high efficiency wastewater treatment, the research team designed a sequence batch reactor (SBR)/ sand filter system that is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,706 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 · 7,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Nutritive Value of Wastewater Grown Barley and its Utilization in Fish FeedA.M. Snow, A. E. GhalyThe feasibility of using wastewater grown barley plants as a component of fish feed was evaluated. The barley plants were grown in a hydroponics system on wastewater from a recirculating aquaculture facility. The effects of wastewater application rate on plant growth and pollution potential reduction were investigated. At the end of the experiment, the average crop heights and yields were … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublicly Funded Education and Human Capital in the Presence of a Convex-Concave Education FunctionBinh Tran-Nam, Công Nghê TruongThis study investigates an aggregative optimal growth model in which short-lived individuals obtain their labour skill through education. The process of human capital formation is described by an increasing, convex-concave education function relating the success rate to the educational expenditure per student. The cost of education is publicly funded by an income tax imposed on adult workers. Despite the apparent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 7 Dec 2005 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPattern of Survival and Mortality of Mangrove Populations Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Ibrahim AldjainThe life table and fecundity schedule were produced for [Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh] populations of four habitat types at Al-Jubail area, KSA. These types are sand mounds, salt flats, shoreline and intertidal sites. Survivorship (lx) was least in sand mounds and similar in all other sites. Age-specific-mortality rates (qx) where parallel in the flower bud, flower, fruiting and seedling stages … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
