Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards a Scalable File System on Computer Clusters Using DeclusteringVu Anh Nguyen, Samuel Pierre, Dougoukolo KonaréThis study addresses the scalability issues involving file systems as critical components of computer clusters, especially for commercial applications. Given that wide striping is an effective means of achieving scalability as it warrants good load balancing and allows node cooperation, we choose to implement a new data distribution scheme in order to achieve the scalability of computer clusters. We suggest … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type I and Dranulysin as Immunological Markers in Congestive Heart FailureSimone de Lima e Silva Deo, Maria Do Carmo Valente De Crasto, Alda Maria Da-Cruz et al.Previous studies have shown that circulating levels of cytokines are increased in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), resulting in myocardial depression. In this work, we have determined serum levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ by ELISA, detected sTNFR-I by dot ELISA, as well as TNFα, IL-6, IL-10 and granulysin mRNA in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by RT-PCR in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,776 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCodesign Methodology of Real-time Embedded Controllers for Electromechanical SystemsSlim Ben Saoud, Andreas Gerstlauer, Daniel D. GajskiUnder increasing time-to-market pressures in the electric drives industries, the development time of new algorithms and new control systems including their debugging time must be minimized. This requirement can be satisfied only by using a well-defined system-level design methodology and by reducing the migration time between the algorithm development language and the hardware specification language. In this study, we propose … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impacts of Total System Design Factors on Human Performance in Power PlantsA. Azadeh, J. Nouri, I. Mohammad FamThe objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of total system design factors (TSD) on human performance in a power plant. The TSD factors are defined as design factors, which have an impact on the overall performance of the power plants in the context of total human engineering or macroergonomy. The systems being studied are the control rooms … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPressure-sensitivity Effects on Toughness Measurements of Compact Tension Specimens for Strain-hardening SolidsAbdulhamid A. Al-AbduljabbarThe path-independent J-integral is used as a fracture prediction criterion for loading beyond the elastic limit as Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) cannot be applied. While J was originally defined from an energy perspective, it was demonstrated that it could be inferred from load-displacement diagrams. Therefore, the Compact Tension (CT) specimen testing is used to compute J for materials. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Case-Control Study of Effect of Opium Addiction on Myocardial InfarctionBehzad Azimzade-Sarwar, Gholamreza Yousefzade, Shahin NarooeyIschemic Heart Disease (IHD) and Myocardial Infarction (MI) are one of the most important disease which cause mortality and morbidity. Opioid peptides and exogenous opioid such as morphine are known to exert an important cardiovascular effect. To study effect of opium addiction to incidence of MI. A Case-Control study was designed in Kerman university. 150 patients with MI was admitted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Elliptic Function Arising from the Theta Functions and Dedekind's η-FunctionIsmet Yildiz, Neslihan UyanikIt's a reality that there is a relationship between the sigma function of Weierstrass and theta functions. An elliptic function can be set up using the theta functions just as it can be astablished with the help of sigma function of Weierstrass and two relations between the Dedekind's h-function and - theta function were established by the using characteristic values … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Approach for Integrated Measure of Object-Oriented Software TestabilityVandana Gupta, K. K. Aggarwal, Yogesh SinghFor large software systems, testing phase seems to have profound effect on the overall acceptability and quality of the final product. The success of this activity can be judged by measuring the testability of the software. A good measure for testability can better manage the testing effort and time. Different Object Oriented Metrics are used in measurement of object-oriented testability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Probability Curves Obtained from 2 Quantitative Allergen-specific IgE Assays: FEIA and 3gAllergyTMT. M. Li, T. Chuang, S. M. Li, D. Hovanec-BurnsThe validity and benefit of probability curves in allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) testing and their applicability to more than a few allergens are still pending. One study[1] presented probability curves for 4 food allergens and proposed decision points to rule out the need for food challenges in his clinic. Since then, such cutoffs were reported by Boyano-Martinez[2] to be dependent on … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTypology of Organisational CommitmentRajendran Muthuveloo, Raduan Che RoseThis paper presents a contemporary review of the term commitment from an organisational perspective. The paper highlights the typology of employee commitment and of organisational commitment. Organisational commitment is a subset of employee commitment, which is comprised of work commitment, career commitment and organisational commitment. Organisational commitment, in turn, can be subdivided into affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 10,348 accessesView PDFCite
