Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Power Multicast Problem in Wireless Mesh Networks by Using a Hybrid Particle Swarm OptimizationAllam Maalla, Chen Wei, Haitham J. TahaProblem statement: Most mobile nodes in a wireless ad hoc network are powered by energy limited batteries; the limited battery lifetime imposes a constraint on the network performance. Therefore, power consumption of network operations is critical and subject to optimization. Approach: A novel hybrid PSO was proposed for solving the minimum power multicast problem in wireless ad-hoc networks. The MPM … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Power Control with Overhearing Avoidance for Wireless Sensor NetworksM. Ramakrishnan, P. Vanaja RanjanProblem statement: Extending lifetime of the battery operated wireless sensor nodes through the design of low power medium access control protocols dealt in this study. Approach: In this study energy efficient Optimal Power Control MAC with Overhearing Avoidance (OPC-OA) was proposed. The transmission power of every node was dynamically changed for the optimal connectivity between nodes. The optimal transmission power … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWinner-Take-All Neural Network with Massively Optoelectronic InterconnectionsWissam H. Ali, Ahmed N. Abdalla, Wa'l H. AliThe increased interconnection density, bandwidth, nonlocality and fan-out-fan-in offered by optics over conventional electronic technologies make it a very attractive medium for a variety of application particularity in the field of communication system implementation for all types of computing engines is achieved. This is especially true for neural networks in which the demand for communication resources is extremely high. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,437 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Spot Diameter and Sheets Thickness on Fatigue Life of Spot Welded Structure based on FEA ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. B. Rosli, M. M. Noor et al.This study presents the effect of the spot weld and sheets thickness on the fatigue life of the of the spot-weld joints to predict the lifetime and location of the weakest spot-welds due to the variable amplitude loading conditions. A simple model was used to illustrate the technique of spot-weld fatigue analysis. Finite element model and analysis were carried out … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,864 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUrinary Tract Infection-A Survey of Local PopulationShaon Ray Chaudhuri, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Poulomi Nandy, Santanu SamantaUrinary Tract Infection, commonly known as UTI, affects as many as 50% women at least once during their lifetime. All individuals are susceptible to Urinary Tract Infection (UTI); however the prevalence of infection differs with age, sex and certain predisposing factors. With the above background in mind we conducted a survey of the local population (women of 3 age groups) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosensor Based on Xanthine Oxidase for Monitoring Hypoxanthine in Fish MeatHelena S. Nakatani, Luciane V. dos Santos, Cristiano P. Pelegrine et al.An amperometric enzyme electrode for the detection of hypoxanthine in fish meat is described. The hypoxanthine sensor was prepared from xanthine oxidase immobilized by covalent binding with glutaraldehyde and bovine serum albumin on a nafion-coated platinum disc electrode. The responses for hypoxanthine were obtained in 0.1 mol L-1 phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), at potential of 600mV vs Ag/AgCl. This biosensor … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,597 accessesView PDFCite

A procedure for computing the reliability of the original system and the improved systems is presented when the parameters … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 7 Sep 2017 · 6,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEPENDABILITY ATTRIBUTES FOR INCREASED SECURITY IN COMPONENT-BASED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTHasan Kahtan, Nordin Abu Bakar, Rosmawati NordinExisting software applications become increasingly distributed as their continuity and lifetimes are lengthened; consequently, the users’ dependence on these applications is increased. The security of these applications has become a primary concern in their design, construction and evolution. Thus, these applications give rise to major concerns on the capability of the current development approach to develop secure systems.
