Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal-Mechanical Analysis of a Different Leadframe Thickness of Semiconductor Package under the Reflow ProcessS. Abdullah, M. F. Abdullah, A. K. Ariffin, A. JalarThe copper-based leadframe is practically proven effective in the thermal and reliability of a Quad Flat No Lead (QFN) three dimension (3D) stacked-die semiconductor package. Reducing the copper thickness is understood to present various thermal and reliability failure mode and mechanisms, such as die cracking and delamination. However, no in-depth study has been pursued in order to determine the capability … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite

In addition, it has focused on the dynamics of banking sector, electronic banking services and new courses especially with mergers that constitute most of these mechanisms. Approach: The study discussed this new activity and the extent of response level of services while … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Mathematical Modeling Approaches for Integrating Production and Transportation Decisions in the Process IndustryMohamed K. Omar, A. AjithaIn this study we focus on coordination of the production planning of finished products and intermediate products in the process industry. The problem consists of two manufacturing facilities with similar production environment, one producing the intermediates and the other producing end products that are separated by a distance. There is transportation between the facilities. The problem considered has been formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Deduced Protein Database Using Variable Bit Binary EncodingB. Parvathavarthini, B. Rajesh Kanna, L. RajeswarideviA large amount of biological data is semi-structured and stored in any one the following file formats such as flat, XML and relational files. These databases must be integrated with the structured data available in relational or object-oriented databases. The sequence matching process is difficult in such file format, because string comparison takes more computation cost and time. To reduce … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSexual Risk Intervention In Multiethnic Drug And Alcohol UsersDeborah L. Jones, Stephen M. Weiss, Ndashi Chitalu et al.An estimated 38.6 million persons globally are living with HIV, of whom over 1.1 million reside in Zambia. Of the 2 million cases in the US, 64% of new cases among women are among African Americans. Alcohol and drug use represents a significant risk factor for HIV transmission among both Zambians and African Americans. In addition, gender dynamics in both … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTask Load Balancing Strategy for Grid ComputingB. Yagoubi, Y. SlimaniWorkload and resource management are two essential functions provided at the service level of the Grid software infrastructure. To improve the global throughput of these environments, effective and efficient load balancing algorithms are fundamentally important. Most strategies were developed in mind, assuming homogeneous set of resources linked with homogeneous and fast networks. However for computational Grids we must address main … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Saturation Induction for Bi-Substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet Prepared Via Sol Gel TechniqueNoorhana Yahya, Goh Kah HeanY3.0-xBixFe5O12 samples (x = 0.2 and 0.4) were prepared via novel sol-gel and conventional solid-state techniques. The effect of bismuth in both techniques was investigated in terms of shrinkage, density, hysteresis and initial permeability. Sharp and clear diffraction XRD lines with highest peak appear at about 32° of the 2θ¸, for all the powders sintered at 900°C and 1250°C for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Relationships Among the Adoption Parameters of Computers and Internet in Agriculture: An Application of Probit ModelAnastasios MichailidisThe main reason for carrying out this study was to determine possible relationships among several adoption parameters of computer use, internet usage and internet access in agriculture. The key options for determining relationships (apart from non-parametric correlation techniques) are canonical correlation analysis, probit models and logit models. Canonical correlation analysis is generally seen as a weaker statistical technique than probit … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Economic Feasibility of Rebuilding Al-Isra University Tunnel — Mechanical FactorsBassam Al-HelouEconomic feasibility is the cornerstone in the decision making on an economic venture. The more positive the economic signs, the less the risk and foreseen losses. This study throws light on some economic advantages of rebuilding Al-Isra tunnel, especially in terms of shortening the car/bus trip by six kilometers go and fro, and in terms of reducing the trip schedule … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Architecture for Improving Location Management in PCS NetworksHaidar Safa, Samuel PierreThis study proposes a new architecture for improving the location management in PCS networks. The proposed architecture employs several HLRs as opposed to one HLR in the IS-41 and GSM models. Indeed, the new architecture associates with each MU two types of HLRs ; a resident HLR that serves the location areas in which the MU often resides and a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
