Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Influences of Connectors and Adaptors to Fiber-To-The-Home Network PerformanceMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Mastang, Kasmiran JumariProblem statement: The reliability of the entire communications network was dependent on the reliability of each single element. Connector was important devices that can affect the performance of the fiber communication. There were a large number of issues that affect the performance of fiber optic connectors in today’s networks. These factors were increasingly as data rates, the number of wavelengths … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 9 Dec 2011 · 7,183 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRain Events Detection using Energy Variation of Commercial Microwave Links AttenuationWend Yam Serge Boris Ouedraogo, Moumouni Djibo, Ali Doumounia et al.In this study, we propose a new method for detecting wet periods by using telecommunications Commercial Microwave Links (CML). The purpose of the study is to automatically find rain time slots. The attenuation of the microwave signal, propagating between a transmitting antenna and a receiving one, due to the variations of the climatic conditions over the link, is a non-stationary … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 20 Aug 2022 · 6,287 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetroleum Hydrocarbon Pollution of Mangrove Swamps: The Promises of Remediation by Enhanced Natural AttenuationF. A. Orji, A. A. Ibiene, O. C. UgboguProblem statement: The Remediation by Enhanced Natural Attenuation (RENA) is currently being used as a cleanup technology in polluted environments in the Niger Delta and other parts of the globe. The effectiveness of RENA as a remediation technology in the most recent time has been challenged by few authorities. The deleterious effects of pollutants on the environment have led to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 May 2012 · 8,225 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Atomic Number of Lead Sodium Borate Glass Systems at 662 keVP. Limkitjaroenporn, W. Chewpraditkul, J. Kaewkhao, S. TuscharoenMass attenuation coefficients of glass systems xPbO: 20Na2O: (80-x)B2O3 (x = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55% mol) were determined at 662 keV photon energy using gamma rays transmission method. The theoretical values of mass attenuation coefficients were calculated by WinXCom program. These coefficients were then used to determine the effective atomic numbers of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2012 · 8,300 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-Loss Hand-Made Demultiplexer using Transparent Color Filter in WDM-POF Network for Short-Haul Communication SystemMohd Syuhaimi Ab. Rahman, L. S. Supian, Hadi Guna et al.Problem statement: Polymer optical fiber has advantages compared to other alternatives communication media such as copper, coax cable and glass fiber. POF has bigger bandwidth compared to wireless communication network and POF is also free from electromagnetic disruption. Since POF is suitable for communication system up to distance of 100 m with data speed of 400 Mbps using polymer step-index … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,087 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis on 16-Channels Wavelength Division Multiplexing in Free Space Optical Transmission under Tropical Regions EnvironmentSalasiah Hitam, Siti Norziela Suhaimi, Ahmad Shukri Mohd Noor et al.Problem statement: Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing (WDM) is a promising technique for meeting the growing demand for increased bandwidth and various types of services in the optical access network. For wide area or metropolitan networks, fibers are deployed to provide huge bandwidth. In access networks, the fiber-to-the-home will partially solve the last mile problem. However, some environmentally sensitive area such as housing areas, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 2 Nov 2011 · 10,358 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary supplementation with Cyperus esculentus L (tiger nut) tubers attenuated atherosclerotic lesion in apolipoprotein E knockout mouse associated with inhibition of inflammatory cell responsesMohamed L. Salem, Mohsen Zommara, K. ImaizumiAtherosclerosis is a pathological process, where recruitment of mononuclear cells results in the growth of fibro-fatty plaques. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a legend for the uptake of lipoproteins, and deficiency of ApoE leads to the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein. Utilizing ApoE-/- mouse, which spontaneously develop atherosclerosis on low-fat chow diets, the present study showed that feeding these mice on a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,471 accessesView PDF Cite
