Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction and Purification of Collagenase Enzymes: A Critical ReviewSaid M Daboor, Suzanne M Budge, Abdel E Ghaly et al.Problem statement: Enzymes have vital roles in several industrial processes (foods, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals) due to their highly selective nature and high activity at very low concentrations. Recent efforts to identify new sources of useful enzymes have been concentrated on the marine environment because of the potential to make use of processing wastes. About 35-50% of the mass of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 14,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Performance of Backpropagation Neural Network Algorithm for Image Compression/Decompression SystemOmaima N.A. AL-AllafProblem statement: The problem inherent to any digital image is the large amount of bandwidth required for transmission or storage. This has driven the research area of image compression to develop algorithms that compress images to lower data rates with better quality. Artificial neural networks are becoming attractive in image processing where high computational performance and parallel architectures are required. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 26 Oct 2010 · 8,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidence-Based Study on Performance Evaluation of Social Education Institutions with Balanced ScorecardSen-Kuei Liao, Su Fen ChenProblem statement: Based on the concept of Balanced Scorecard (BSC), this study was intended to assist the establishment of performance evaluation system for social education institutions in transforming phase. Approach: An evidence-based analysis was processed to examine the objectivity of the indicators and the weights of key factors of the current performance evaluation. Results: Based on the concept of BSC, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Epoxidized and Non-Epoxidized Fatty Diethanolamides by High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas ChromatographyChoy Sin Lee, Song Cang LeeProblem statement: This study was carried out for the characterization of epoxidized and non-epoxidized fatty diethanolamides by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC). Approach: The fatty diethanolamides were synthesized by reacting 40% (w/w) of Epoxidized Palm Olein (EPOo) with 60% (w/w) Refined Bleached Deodorized Plam Kernel Olein (RBDPKOo) with Diethanolamine (DEA) at 110°C for 5 h. Results: … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiarrhea in Pre-Weaned Calves: Relative Risk Rates for Morbidity and Mortality in 13 Commercial Farms of Hot Arid ZoneM. A. Razzaque, T. Al-Mutawa, S. A. MohammedProblem statement: In many hot arid countries, pregnant Holstein Friesian heifers are imported for herd replacement. The calves obtained from exotic cows are exposed to adverse climate in feedlot system resulting in very high morbidity and mortality rates. Diarrhea, dehydration and deaths are causing a major loss to the producers. This study examines the Risk Rates (RR) for morbidity and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel Predictive Approach to Precision Contouring Control for Feed Drive SystemsM.A. El Khalick, N. UchyiamaProblem statement: High precision machining requires high capability of multi-axis feed drive systems to follow specified contour accurately. Although each feed drive axis is controlled independently in many industrial applications such as X-Y tables and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, machining precision is evaluated by error components orthogonal to desired contour curve. Contouring controller design is required for precision machining, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Navigation to Support the Blind Person Using True Pathway within the MapAbbas M. Ali, Md Jan NordinProblem statement: Map creation remains a very active field in the robotics and AI community, however it contains some challenge points like data association and the high degree of accuracy of localization which are seems to be difficult in some cases, more than that, most of these study focus on the robot navigation, without any consideration for the semantic of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency Decomposition with Enhancing Russell Measure in Data Envelopment AnalysisTien-Hui Chen, Chiao-Pin Bao, Chi-Ming Huang, I-Chiang WangProblem statement: Most studies about the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) follow the concept of radial and non-radial efficiency measures. Because of some difficulties with the measure of weights, Russell measure utilizes the mean of all input/output efficiency measurements as the efficiency score of a specific business unit. However, this may render bias. Approach: This study provided a reasonable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVision Based Reconstruction Multi-Clouds of Scale Invariant Feature Transform Features for Indoor NavigationAbbas M. Ali, Md Jan NordinProblem statement: Navigation for visually impaired people needs to exploit more approaches for solving problems it has, especially in image based methods navigation. Approach: This study introduces a new approach of an electronic cane for navigation through the environment. By forming multi clouds of SIFT features for the scene objects in the environment using some considerations. Results: The system gives … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCamel's Milk Protects Against Cadmium Chloride-Induced Hypocromic Microcytic Anemia and Oxidative Stress in Red Blood Cells of White Albino RatsMohammad DallakProblem statement: Cadmium is a heavy metal of wide occupational and environmental contamination.
