Multi-species attributes as the condition for adaptive sampling of rare species using two-stage sequential sampling with an auxiliary variable
(
The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Assessing populations of rare species is challenging because of the large effort required to locate patches of occupied habitat and achieve precise estimates of density and abundance. The presence of a rare species has ...
Use of post-stratification in composite sampling for estimating mean
(
Springer
, 2011 , Article)
We show with the results of a study conducted in the Hamadan Province, Iran as to how the use of composite sampling for estimating mean zinc concentration in the soil can help reduce analytical costs by reducing the number ...
Characterization of bioactive compounds and ameliorative effects of Ceratonia siliqua leaf extract against CCl4 induced hepatic oxidative damage and renal failure in rats
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2011 , Article)
Ceratonia siliqua is a typical Mediterranean plant, mainly used in food and Tunisian traditional folk medicine. Among the tested extracts, the ethyl acetate fraction (EACs) exhibited the highest total phenolic and flavonoids ...

This study reports the results of a survey distributed to business professionals, educators and students at the State of Qatar. The most important industry in Qatar, according to our respondents, is oil and gas, followed ...
Optical investigation of a long throated Venturi conveying inert spherical particulate with size range similar to pulverised coal
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
This experimental and numerical calculation work demonstrates the behaviour of a two-phase gas-solid Venturi. The type of two-phase flow studied is that encountered in conveying coal to the furnaces in power stations - a ...
Video acquisition between USB 2.0 CMOS camera and embedded FPGA system
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we introduce the hardware implementation of video acquisition in a sensor node of wireless sensor network with the help of USB 2.0 interface. The USB 2.0 video acquisition is based on the CY7C67300 controller ...
Fun to learn: Project-based learning in robotics for computer engineers
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2011 , Article)
This article shares my experiences with the project-based methodology of teaching the same material that a standard text in robotics would teach and will comparatively elaborate the improvement observed in the group of ...
Approaching what we hope for and avoiding what we fear: A study of women's concern with visible signs of skin aging
(
SAGE
, 2011 , Article)
This paper proposes to examine how priming approach and avoidance goal orientations moderates consumer goal-directed preferences for products and services. These effects are studied in the context of women's concern with ...
Fuzzy prediction of complications in craniopathy
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical procedure in which part of the skull is removed to allow a swelling brain room to expand. It is a life-saving procedure used in the treatment of medically refractory intracranial ...
Geotechnical considerations on the design of piled rafts on rock
(
Research Publishing Services
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This research shows the effect of misestimating the pile spring constant (Kpl) and the modulus of subgrade reaction (Ksg) on design of piled rafts on rock. The high mass stiffness of rock contacting the base of such rafts ...
