Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Discrete Event Simulator for Extensive Defense Mechanism for Denial of Service Attacks AnalysisMaryam Tanha, Seyed Dawood Sajjadi Torshizi, S. ShamalaProblem statement: Seeking for defense mechanisms against low rate Denial of Service (DoS) attacks as a new generation of DoS attacks has received special attention during recent years. As a decisive factor, evaluating the performance of the offered mitigation techniques based on different metrics for determining the viability and ability of these countermeasures requires more research. Approach: The development of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 21 Mar 2012 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent and Future Nanotech Applications in the Oil IndustryCocuzza Matteo, Pirri Candido, Rocca Vera, Verga FrancescaProblem statement: Nanotech applications in the oil industry are not completely new: nanoparticles have been successfully used in drilling muds for the past 50 years. Only recently all the other key areas of the oil industry, such as exploration, primary and assisted production, monitoring, refining and distribution, are approaching nanotechnologies as the potential Philosopher's stone for facing critical issues related … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 13 Mar 2012 · 10,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Aluminium Chloride on Anxiety-Related BehaviourA.A. Buraimoh, S.A. Ojo, J.O. Hambolu, S.S. AdebisiProblem statement: Aluminium is presents in many manufactured foods, medicines and is also added to drinking water for purification purposes. It has the potential to be neurotoxic in human and animals but its contribution in Alzhemer’s disease remains contradictory. Anxiety affects one-eighth of the total population world-wide and has become an important area of research interest in psychopharmacology. Approach: The … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 27 Feb 2012 · 7,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Life Cycle Assessment and Other Tools for Ex Ante Integrated Sustainability Assessment in the Minerals IndustryDeborah J Shields, Gian Andrea Blengini, Slavko V. SolarProblem statement: The minerals industry is faced with choices beginning in the exploration phase and extending over the life cycle of mine. Firms examine the technical feasibility of alternative actions and typically rank them based on economic performance. Increasingly firms also consider alternatives' contribution to sustainable development. Approach: Sustainable decision making before investment (ex ante decisions) should incorporate a broad … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Teaching Literature on Culture Learning in the Language ClassroomChittra Muthusamy, Rasaya Marimuthu, Elangkeeran SabapathyProblem statement: The role of literature in enhancing readers’ cultural understanding in the language classroom was explored. It was a part of an extensive research which focused mainly on language learning and creativity. It is argued that the interface of language, literature and culture are at the forefront of present-day language and literature learning and this facilitates inter-racial, intra-racial and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 19 Jul 2011 · 7,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Tourist Arrivals in Destination Countries: An Application to Australian TourismS. A.H. Shobeiri Nejad, Gurudeo Anand TularamProblem statement: Little study is evident of mathematical modeling regarding tourist arrivals in South East Queensland of Australia. In this study the Bulter conceptual destination life cycle and product life cycle frameworks are used to develop an overall determinant mathematical model of Australian tourist arrivals. The model will be calibrated using real Australian data. A more complex dynamic is also … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeight of Evidence Allocates Mineral Depositional ZonesAbdullah A. Bokhari, Guang Dao HU, Rani FouadProblem statement: Yunnan province in general and Pulang area in particular is geological rich area which prevents field study in multi locations due to high risk outcrop. Approach: New technology such as Geographic Information System (GIS) and an ArcView extension module Arcweight of evidence (WofE) became very handy to provide safety for researchers and allow organization to control their budget. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Clustering Time by a Group of Autonomous Robots Making Use of an Exclusive Multi-MarkingMohamed Rida Abdessemed, Kamel Khoualdi, Azeddine BilamiProblem statement: For solving complex issues, the current tendency goes towards the swarms behaviors, realized on a basis of collective interactions, which results from a cooperative work favoring exchanges between individuals of a same group at microscopic level and allowing the emergence of complex collective behaviors at macroscopic level. Many models were inspired by these attitudes to find simple rules, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 9 Nov 2010 · 6,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRal-Binding Protein is Required for the Maturation and Function of Dendritic CellsJozef Borvak, Mukesh Sahu, Varun Joy et al.Problem statement: Dendritic Cells (DCs) integrate responses of innate and adaptive immune system via transmitting pro-inflammatory and regulatory signals to naïve cells within draining lymph nodes. DCs have high capacity for endocytosis, both Clathrin-Dependent (CDE) and Caveolin-Dependent (CvDE). Approach: We have recently shown that ATP-hydrolysis by the multifunctional transporter protein RLIP76 is the primary determinant of the rate of CDE. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 8,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLink Stability and Node Energy Conscious Local Route-Repair Scheme for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksAnuradha Banerjee, Paramartha DuttaProblem statement: A mobile ad hoc network is a self-configuring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. As the nodes are free to move randomly, topology of the network may change rapidly and unpredictably. As a result, intermediate nodes in the communication routes tend to lose connection with each other during the communication process. In order to repair a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
