Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Decision-Making Model for Maintenance Prioritization in Health Care SystemsHassana Mahfoud, Abdellah El Barkany, Ahmed El BiyaaliClinical engineering departments have to establish and continuously regulate a Medical Equipment Management Program (MEMP) to ensure a high reliability and safety of their critical medical devices. Asset criticality assessment is an essential element of reliability centered maintenance and risk-based maintenance, especially when enormous various devices exist and the worst failure consequences are not evident. This paper presents a new … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2016 · 8,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Unified Approach for the Shear Buckling Design of Structural Glass Walls with Non-Ideal RestraintsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioIn this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints. Based on the current trends of practice in buildings, the effect of (i) adhesive joints, (ii) metal frames with interposed adhesive joints or (iii) point mechanical connectors on the actual shear buckling behavior of the examined … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2016 · 8,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmbedded Software Platform Used for Detection and Mitigation of a MAC Anomaly in IEEE 802.11n NetworksArgemiro Bevilacqua, Vitor Chaves de Oliveira, Gunnar Bedicks Jr. et al.IEEE 802.11 standard is largely used anywhere as a cheap way to access internet, but the majority of devices used does not provide a standard way to manage them. Mobile stations competing for access point may causes a general wireless network failure, known as the ''MAC Anomaly''. It is presented here an access point with modified firmware, that monitors wireless … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 21 Nov 2015 · 6,517 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Quantitative Pharmacology on Drug DevelopmentAna Ruiz-Garcia, Kourosh ParivarThesuccess of drug development rests over two well defined pillars, a goodunderstanding of the drug’s clinical pharmacology and the appropriate targetpopulation for whom the clinical use is intended. The label for human prescription drugsrequires a good understanding of the pharmacological effects (pharmacodynamicsor PD) and the mechanism of action of the drug as well as detailed informationof the drug’s Pharmacokinetics (PK): … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Apr 2015 · 7,164 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnosis of Cardiovascular Diseases with Bayesian ClassifiersAlaa Elsayad, Mahmoud FakhrCardiovascular disease or atherosclerosis is any disease affecting the cardiovascular system. They include coronary heart disease, raised blood pressure, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease and heart failure. They are treated by cardiologists, thoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons, neurologists and interventional radiologists. The diagnosis is an important yet complicated task that needs to be done accurately … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2015 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA COMPARISON OF STEPWISE AND FUZZY MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING SOFTWARE PROJECT RISKS: ANALYSIS PHASEAbdelrafe Elzamly, Burairah HussinRisk is not always avoidable, but it is controllable. The aim of this study is to identify whether those techniques are effective in reducing software failure. This motivates the authors to continue the effort to enrich the managing software project risks with consider mining and quantitative approach with large data set. In this study, two new techniques are introduced namely … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 22 Apr 2014 · 7,294 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINVESTIGATION ON THE DIAGNOSIS OF SIMPLE AND COMBINES MECHANICAL FAULTS IN ASYNCHRONOUS MOTOR BASED ELECTRIC DRIVESBouras A. Karim, Bouras Slimane, Hadjadj A. Elias et al.In this study, the problems of mechanical unbalance, parallel and angular misalignments and their combinations are analyzed experimentally. Such frequent defects in the drives mainly in the major powers are also responsible for the bearings degradation. However, they have not raised the attention of researchers, given the complexity of their modeling. The combination of the phasic current signal analysis and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 11 Apr 2014 · 6,688 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA REFINEMENT OF DIJKSTRA'S ALGORITHM FOR EXTRACTION OF SHORTEST PATHS IN GENERALIZED REAL TIME-MULTIGRAPHSSiddhartha Sankar Biswas, Bashir Alam, M. N. DojaThe networks of the present day communication systems, be it a public road transportation system or a MANET or an Adhoc Network, frequently face a lot of uncertainties in particular regarding traffic jam, flood or water logging or PWD maintenance work (in case of public road network), attack or damage from internal or external agents, sudden failure of one or … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2013 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractERROR DETECTION SCHEMES FOR FINITE FIELD MULTIPLIERSB. Sargunam, R. DhanasekaranFinite field multipliers are widely used in the field of cryptography for the purpose of scalar multiplication. The outputs of the finite field multipliers may consist of errors due to certain natural radiations which further leads to the failure of the cryptosystems. Here two Concurrent Error Detection (CED) schemes namely time redundancy and modular inversion based error detection schemes for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2013 · 6,917 accessesView PDFCite
