Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolicy-Based Network Management in BIUST NetworkThato Solomon, Adamu Murtala Zungeru, Rajalakshmi Selvaraj et al.Policy-Based Network Management (PBNM) is one of the approaches used by network administration groups for Quality of Service (QoS) and administration on the internet. This paper seeks to propose the adoption of a Policy Creation Model for Policymaking in some organizations. The model will then be applied to a real scenario Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) network. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 21 Jun 2017 · 7,598 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Permanent Deformation of Pavement's Unbounded Layers Based on Cyclic Triaxial TestsB. ŽlenderThis research presents an analytical model for determining permanent deformation of pavement's sub-grade and unbound granular base and sub-base material due to cyclic traffic loading. The model is given for interpreting results of repeated load triaxial tests. It considers long term elastoplastic behavior and resilient behavior of sub-grade and unbound granular material. Permanent deformations are expressed as a function of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Radio Propagation Models on Ad Hoc Networks PerformancesA. Rhattoy, A. ZatniProblem statement: Wireless networks are characterized by a dynamic topology triggered by the nodes mobility. Thus, the wireless multi-hops connection and the channel do not have determinist behaviour such as: Interference or multiple paths. Moreover, the nodes’ invisibility makes the wireless channel difficult to detect. This wireless networks’ behaviour should be scrutinized. Approach: In our study, we mainly focus on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 2 Mar 2012 · 6,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFramework for Managing the Very Large Scale Integration Design ProcessSabah Al-Fedaghi, Eman Al-DwaisanProblem statement: The VLSI design cycle was described in terms of successive states and substages; it starts with system specification and ends with packaging. At the next descriptive level, currently known methodologies (e.g., flowchart based, object-oriented based) lack a global conceptual representation suitable for managing the VLSI design process. Technical details were intermixed with tool-dependent and implementation issues such as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Dec 2011 · 7,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy Do People Use Their Cars: A Case Study In MalaysiaAbdalla Nurdeen Kamba, Riza Atiq O.K. Rahmat, Amiruddin IsmailIn Malaysia, the rapid increase in the use of own transport prompted by inadequate public transport has resulted in increased traffic congestion, accidents, inadequate parking space and air pollution among other evils. This study sought to identify the factors preventing own transport users from shifting to public transport and to develop model shift from car to public transport in order … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Experimental Study of Petty Corrupt Behaviour in Small Decision Making ProblemsTakemi FujikawaThis research discusses small decision making problems and petty corruption as their practical applications with a structured economic experiment. One of examples of petty corruption considered includes demands for petty bribes by traffic officials followed by police. We examine that it is caused by subjective underweighting of rare events and its objective probabilities. This literature reports results of an experiment, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 3 Dec 2005 · 8,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Object Detection Technique for Hazard Avoidance SystemsSupreet Kaur Deol, P.W.C. Prasad, Abeer Alsadoon, A. ElchouemiHazard detection and avoidance at construction sites working with heavy equipment and moving vehicles is one of the biggest issues in modern surveillance. Background subtraction using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is widely utilized for identification of moving objects with most existing methods leading to improvements but lacking accuracy of object detection. This paper aims to improve accuracy and processing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 27 Sep 2018 · 8,198 accessesView PDFCite
