Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermining the Impact of Darkness on Highway Traffic Shockwave PropagationParameswary Sundara, Othman Che Puan, Mohammad Rosli HaininDuring darkness visibility diminishes resulting in reduced sight distances and drivers are subjected to anxiety that may give way to anger and frustration. However, the study is concerned with traffic shockwave propagation that could be associated with darkness on highways. Based on the hypothesis that darkness may induce temporary traffic shockwave propagation in the presence of substantial traffic volume, darkness … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,071 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Face Authentication with Convolutional Neural NetworkMohamed Sayed, Faris BakerMatching thermal face images as a method of biometric authentication has gained increasing interest because of its advantage of tracking a target object at night and in total darkness. Therefore, for security purposes, it has become highly favourable and has extensive applications, for instance, in video surveillance at night. The aim of this study is to present a simple and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 10 Dec 2018 · 7,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Bacterial Pathogens in Some Marine Fishes in EL-Mansoura, EgyptElsayed Mahmoud Ezzat, Essawy Mahmoud, Shabana Iman Ibrahim et al.A total of 200 marine fish of two different species (100 Tilapia zillii and100 Mugil capito) were randomly collected from different markets, during different seasons. Fish subjected to clinical, postmortem and bacteriological studies. The common clinical signs were darkness of the skin, hemorrhage in the fins base, eyes and different parts of the body, abdominal distention, congestion in gills and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2018 · 9,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Comparisons of Anchovy Drying using Centrifugal and Gravitational Fluidized Bed TechniquesWatcharin Dongbang, Rungtawan WiwattanasirikulThe present study investigated experimental comparisons of anchovy drying using centrifugal and gravitational fluidized bed techniques; in addition, drying models and thermal efficiency were also investigated. In the first stage, fresh anchovy was dried with solar energy to reduce the initial moisture content from 81±1%wb to around 65%±1wb. In the second stage, the anchovy was dried with a dryer from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 23 Apr 2015 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of the Mechanisms of Faecal Coliform Removal from Algal and Duckweed Waste Stabilization Pond SystemsE. D.O. Ansa, E. Awuah, A. Andoh et al.The use of eco-technologies for wastewater treatment such as algal and duckweed-based pond systems is becoming popular in developing countries owing to its affordability and efficiency of pathogen removal in warm climates. The pathogen removal mechanisms of these treatment systems however is still not clearly understood and existing knowledge is also scattered in journals and books of different disciplines. The … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Apr 2015 · 8,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnchovy Drying Using Infrared RadiationWatcharin Dongbang, Anirut MatthujakThe present study investigated the drying of anchovy using infrared radiation experimentally; in addition, the dimensionless heat transfer coefficient in terms of Nusselt’s number was also investigated. The anchovy was dried from 78±1%wb down to 20±1%wb. The drying conditions were infrared power range 400-800 W, hot air temperatures range 50-70°C and hot air velocity range 0.5-1.5 ms-1. The lowest drying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 14 Apr 2013 · 6,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeat Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: A Critical ReviewD. Dave, Abdel E. GhalyProblem statement: Extremely perishable meat provides favorable growth condition for various microorganisms. Meat is also very much susceptible to spoilage due to chemical and enzymatic activities. The breakdown of fat, protein and carbohydrates of meat results in the development of off-odors, off-flavor and slim formation which make the meat objectionable for human consumption. It is, therefore, necessary to control meat … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2011 · 54,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEntropyomics as the Blueprint of the Logic of Normal Cell Division and MalignancyKambiz AfrasiabiProblem statement: In this article I propose a blueprint based on one of the most fundamental laws governing the known universe, namely the second law of thermodynamics and I present support for its central role in initiation of mitosis and relationship of the other sub cellular compartments and their organization. Approach: Life is considered to be the most sophisticated antientropy … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 10,377 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFish Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: ReviewA. E. Ghaly, D. Dave, S. Budge, M. S. BrooksProblem statement: Spoilage of food products is due to chemical, enzymatic or microbial activities One-fourth of the world’s food supply and 30% of landed fish are lost through microbial activity alone. With the ever growing world population and the need to store and transport the food from one place to another where it is needed, food preservation becomes necessary in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 59,795 accessesView PDFCite
