Planted in Soils Containing Sewage SludgeParisa Ahmadpour, Azmi Mat Nawi, Arifin Abdu et al.Problem statement: The chemical pollution of soil has become a major source of concern and has posed serious health problems within the last few years in many developed nations. A variety of organic and inorganic pollutants, including heavy metals, are being mixed in with the cultivated soil and water. Sewage sludge was one of the major sources of enrichment of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 10,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Kinetic Parameters of a Super Heavy Chisel Plow Under Various Operating ConditionsS. A. Al-Suhaibani, A. Al-Janobi, A. E. GhalyProblem statement: Tillage is a process of creating a desirable soil condition for seed germination and growth. The tillage of soil is considered to be one of the biggest farm operations as the tillage operation requires the most energy on the farm. Chisel plow is widely used by farmers as a primary tillage tool. Performance data for chisel plow operation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,659 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 abstractAdvanced Information Technology of Slot-Switching Network Schemes for on All-Optical Variable-Length PacketSoung Yue Liew, Edward Sek Khin Wong, Choong Kwai FattProblem Statement: The purpose of this paper was to investigate all optical packet switching, because it was the key to the success of the future Internet. It can meet the stringent bandwidth requirement of future Internet applications, such as real-time video streaming. Due to the lack of optical Random Access Memory (RAM), however, the all-optical schemes studied in the literature … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Distance and Heterosis through Evaluation Index in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.)Ebrahim Talebi, G. SubramanyaProblem statement: Synthesis of new-gene combinations by genetic manipulation is one of the powerful tools in exploiting the commercial qualities of plants and animals. Hybrid performance is evaluated from extensive yield trials that are costly and time consuming. Approach: Four silkworm races belonging to two different voltine groups (two multivoltine races namely Pure Mysore and Nistari and two bivoltine races … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmbedding Malaysian House Red Ant Behavior into an Ant Colony SystemZ. A. Othman, H. M. Rais, A. R. HamdanProblem statement: Ant Colony System (ACS) is the most popular algorithm used to find a shortest path solution in Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Several ACS versions have been proposed which aim to achieve an optimum solution by adjusting pheromone levels. However, it still has a room on an improvement. This research aims to improve the algorithm by embedding individual Malaysian … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Hidden Layer Neurons on the Classification of Optical Character Recognition Typed Arabic NumeralsNidal F. Shilbayeh, Mahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: The effect of varying the number of nodes in the hidden layer and number of iterations are important factors in the recognition rate. In this paper, a novel and effective criterion based on Cross Pruning (CP) algorithm is proposed to optimize number of hidden neurons and number of iterations in Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural based recognition system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Criteria for Slab Compaction of Laboratory Roller Compactor (Turamesin)R. Muniandy, F.M. Jakarni, S. Hassim, A.R. MahmudLaboratory experiments should simulate to a high degree the conditions in the field, especially in term of compaction procedures. Presently available laboratory compaction methods do not seem to be able to produce specimens that can truly represent the mixtures as it exists in the field, especially for Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixtures. SMA is highly dependent on the method of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
