Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeckle Suppression of Radar Images Using Normalized ConvolutionA. K. Helmy, G. S. El-TaweelProblem statement: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are becoming more widely used in remote sensing applications. SAR uses microwave radiation to illuminate the earth's surface. The coherent microwave illumination, however, suffers from fading effects result in generating a multiplicative speckle noise that corrupts SAR images. Approach: Through this study, scheme to reduce speckles was proposed, it was designed to accomplish … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 5 Aug 2010 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDegradation of High Voltage Polymeric Insulators in Arid Desert's Simulated Environmental ConditionsYasin KhanProblem statement: High Voltage (HV) polymeric insulators are replacing ceramic insulator commonly used for HV outdoor networks due to their ease of handling, reliability and cost. However, their long term performance and reliability are major concerns to power utilities. Approach: To investigate their performance in arid desert's conditions, two types of HV composite insulators were aged as per International Electrochemical … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Computer Use on Human Salivary Oxidant/Antioxidant Statusİmge B. Ergüder, İlker DurakComputers are widely used in recent years but their effects on human health completely are known. The aim of this study was to investigate possible effects of computer use on human salivary oxidant / antioxidant system. Ten subjects were included in the study. Three saliva samples were taken from the subjects. First was obtained before computer use, second and third … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,386 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview of Photochemical Smog Pollution in Jakarta Metropolitan, IndonesiaDollaris R. Suhadi, M. Awang, M. N. Hassan et al.An analysis of photochemical smog pollution in Jakarta was attempted using data from the existing air quality monitoring stations. Ground-level ozone potential is high in Jakarta due to the high traffic emissions of ozone precursors and the favorable surface meteorological conditions. Despite the frequent missing data during the 1996-1999 monitoring, which resulted in lower ozone values, ozone episodes were significantly … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordArif’s Shield; A Novel Method for Stabilizing Hazardous Radioactive Effects of Nuclear Fall-OutMetin CelalettinThis research proposes a technique to stabilize ionic radiation, caused by the unstable nuclei of radioactive isotopes. Ionic radiation can lead to various health hazards, including cancer, radiation sickness and genetic damage. It is essential to find ways to stabilize ionic radiation caused by the use of nuclear weaponry or where nuclear energy is utilized as part of the energy … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2023 · 6,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Effect of Air Pollution on Ozone Layer Thickness in Troposphere over the State of KuwaitH. O. Al Jeran, A. R. KhanTroposphere ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 19,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEFFECTS OF UV-B ON PHOTOSYNTHETIC PARAMETERS, LIPID PEROXIDATION, FLAVONOIDS AND GROWTH TRAITS OF CONOCARPUS LANCIFOLIUS (ENGL.)Patrice Suleman, Amina Redha, Mohamad Afzal, Redha Al-HasanConocarpus lancifolius is a perennial ornamental plant adapted to the semi-arid conditions of Kuwait. It accumulates most of its biomass during the stressful summer conditions which includes UV-B irradiation. The study evaluated equivalent UV-B irradiation intensities that plants would normally experience sometime during the course of a year in Kuwait. Leaf area, plant height, photosynthetic parameters, Lipid Peroxidation (LP) and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Effective Passive Solar Dryer for Thin Layer Drying of Poultry ManureA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldAnimal and poultry manures have been recognized for centuries as organic fertilizers providing essential nutrients to crops and improving soil structure due to their large input of organic matter. Increasing demand for poultry and egg products has led to intensification of the poultry rearing process, resulting in large amounts of poultry manure. Drying can be used to reduce the environmental … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2012 · 10,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDisplacement of Boron from the Silicon Crystal Nodes by Interstitial Si Atoms During Implantation and AnnealingM. Jadan, A. R. Chelyadinskii, V. Y. YavidThe process of boron displacement from the nodes into interstitial positions of interstitial Si atoms in silicon (Watkins effect) on the conditions of implantation and annealing has been investigated with the help of X-ray diffraction and electrical methods. It was revealed that the efficiency of the Watkins substitution is determined by the ion current density (level of ionization). With increasing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRadiation Hazards Due to Radon Concentrations in Dwellings of Kufa Technical Institute, 'Iraq'Ali Abid Abojassim Al-Hamidawi, Afnan Ali HusainRadon concentrations were measured in Kufa dwellings of the technical institute, Al-Najaf- Iraq using LR-115 type II plastic track detectors. Additionally, annual effective dose and the excess lifetime cancer risk for the aforementioned dwellings were calculated. The results demonstrate that the radon concentration ranged from 37.4±6.4 Bq/m3 to 55.7±12.0 Bq/m3 with an average of 46.2±8.2 Bq/m3. The latter is found … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 8,143 accessesView PDFCite
