EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNanotechnology: Engineering Materials for a Better 21st CenturyMeng Qiao, Xiyun Liu, Lei ZhangToday, we are living in the midst of a technological revolution, where nanotechnology is demonstrating a greater commitment to make people’s everyday lives better. The aim of nanotechnology is to create new materials with desired properties by engineering their nanoscale structures and components. One of the most important impacts of nanotechnology is in medical diagnosis and treatment. Cardiovascular diseases such … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2014 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMANGANESE SPECIATION IN SELECTED AGRICULTURAL SOILS OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIAJ. Habibah, J. Khairiah, B.S. Ismail, M.D. KadderiManganese speciation in selected agricultural soils of Peninsular Malaysia is discussed in this study. Manganese concentration in the Easily Leacheable and Ion Exchangeable (ELFE), Acid Reducible (AR), Organic Oxidizable (OO) and Resistant (RR) fractions of soils developed on weathered rocks, soils of mixed nature, alluvium and peat deposits are described. The total manganese concentration in soils developed on weathered rocks … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2014 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOPTIMIZING LOCALIZATION ROUTE USING PARTICLE SWARM-A GENETIC APPROACHL. Lakshmanan, D. C. TomarOne of the most key problems in wireless sensor networks is finding optimal algorithms for sending packets from source node to destination node. Several algorithms exist in literature, since some are in vital role other may not. Since WSN focus on low power consumption during packet transmission and receiving, finally we adopt by merging swarm particle based algorithm with genetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 20 Jan 2014 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTREME RAINFALLS DISTRIBUTION IN MALANG RESIDENCEAmran, Iriawan Nur, Subiono, IrhamahExtreme rainfalls often occur everywhere just in a moment, very difficult to be anticipated and produce very detrimental impact to the environment and human society. Floods and landslides are influenced by high variability of extreme rainfalls, especially in the watershed area for floods and the hills as well as mountains for landslides, such as in Malang Residence, East Java, Indonesia … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2013 · 6,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Energy Efficient Passive Clustering Mobility in Wireless Sensor NetworksAouad Siham, Maach Abdelillah, El Ganami DrissWireless sensor networks have a wide applicability and increase deployment in the near future. In most of those applications, the network is composed of an important number of nodes deployed in an extensive area in which not all nodes are directly connected and based on clustering techniques. The Clustering can considerably reduce transmission overhead during flooding. In fact, by using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2013 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPartial Least Squares Regression Based Variables Selection for Water Level PredictionsNoraini Ibrahim, Antoni WibowoFloods are common phenomenon in the state of Kuala Krai, specifically in Kelantan-Malaysia. Every year, floods affecting biodiversity on this region and also causing property loss of this residential area. The residents in Kelantan always suffered from floods since the water overflows to the areas adjoining to the rivers, lakes or dams. Months, average monthly rainfall, temperature, relative humidity and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Apr 2013 · 6,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Flow Systems and Their Response to Climate Change: A Need for a Water-System View ApproachJoel J. Carrillo-Rivera, Antonio CardonaProblem statement: The interest in early hydrogeological studies was the aquifer unit, as it is the physical media that stores and permits groundwater transfers from the recharge zone to the discharge zone, making groundwater available to boreholes for water extraction. Approach: Recently, the aquifer concept has been complemented by the groundwater flow system theory, where groundwater may be defined by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMercury in Hair of Muskox on the Seward PeninsulaClaudia Ihl, R. Terry Bowyer, Kriya L. Dunlap, Lawrence K. DuffyProblem statement: Muskoxen (Ovibus moschatus) are distant relatives of sheep (Caprinae) and have roamed the Arctic for a million years, with populations reaching North America between 150,000 and 250,000 years ago. Muskox populations could be negatively influenced by climate change and increased exposure to contaminants. Since the snow depth is a critical factor in their ecology, effects could occur throughout … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Authentication Technique for Distributed Denial of Service Attacks in Wireless Local Area NetworksM. Moorthy, S. SathiyabamaProblem statement: In 802.11-based Wireless LAN (WLAN), there is an mproved risk of security attacks. To defeat concealed attacks, there is a necessity to authenticate both access points and wireless stations. Approach: We propose a defensive technique for DDoS attack in WLAN. This authentication technique includes an Authentication Server (AS) in addition to the Wireless Station (WS) and Access Point … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 7,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Congestion Reduction Routing in Wireless Sensor NetworksT. V.P. Sundararajan, Thiyaneswaran Manoharan, Abinaya RajendranProblem statement: Data generated in wireless sensor networks may not all be alike: some data may be more important than others and hence may have different delivery requirements, To solve this problem addressed a differentiated data delivery in the presence of congestion in wireless sensor networks and proposed a class of algorithms that enforce differentiated routing based on the congested … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,795 accessesView PDFCite
