Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasurements and Model Calibration of Urban Traffic Noise PollutionN. Al-Mutairi, F. Al-Rukaibi, P. KoushkiProblem statement: The problem of urban traffic noise pollution is universal and in the past few decades it has grown to the point that it has become a major concern for both the public and the policy-makers. Approach: In a comprehensive 18 month research project, traffic-generated noise was monitored at 47 roadway locations in fourteen districts in metropolitan Kuwait in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSalinity, Temperature and Turbidity Structure in the Suva Lagoon, FijiAwnesh Singh, Than AungThe city of Suva is home to nearly a quarter of the population of the Fiji thereby placing a lot of anthropogenic pressure on its lagoon. The Suva lagoon (comprising of Suva Harbour and Laucala Bay) has been subject to substantial sediment inputs generated by erosion and human activities. Freshwater input into the lagoon comes predominantly from the Rewa River, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Multi-Agent Architecture for QoS Support in Grid EnvironmentAli Rezaee, Amir M. Rahmani, Saeed Parsa, Sahar AdabiGrid computing is emerged as a new distributed computing technology that implements flexible and coordinated resource sharing among dynamic, heterogeneous, unpredictable and geographically distributed collections of resources owned by different individuals and organizations. Due to heterogeneous and dynamic nature of the grid, resource management and application scheduling is a complex undertaking. This paper proposed a multi-agent architecture that addressed resource … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Agents in Heterogeneous Networks: A Look on PerformanceR. B. Patel, Neeraj GoelMobile agents can be seen as a new paradigm for distributed computing. One characteristic of mobile agents is their autonomy and pro-activity. This article present a framework designed on top of PMADE (Platform for Mobile Agent Distribution and Execution) to support our research in this domain. Our framework consists of three modules. The Map Module collects information on the available … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 6,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEFFECTIVE HEURISTIC ALGORITHM FOR DYNAMIC ROUTING AND BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT UNDER QUALITY OF SERVICE CONSTRAINTS IN MULTISTAGE INTERCONNECTION NETWORKSR. Deepalakshmi, S. RajaramToday, Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced abundant bandwidth consumption and necessities in multimedia communications from online games to video-conferencing applications with the constraint of QoS requirements from time to time. The expected rapid proliferation of services would require performance unprecedented in the currently available best-effort routing algorithms. In, particular, the present routing mechanisms are based on the best-effort paradigm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 7 Jan 2014 · 7,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSpherical and Improved Helmholtz Coil with High B1 Homogeneity for Magnetic Resonance ImagingSidi M. Ahmed Ghaly, Khalid A. Al-Snaie, Obaidullah Khan MohammadSeveral types of volume RF coils such as Helmholtz pair have been used for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. However, the field uniformity of a coil has always been suffering from a critical issue in imaging accuracy. The presented work is a study and design of spherical and improved radiofrequency Helmholtz coil which produces a high B1 magnetic field homogeneity. This coil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 22 Dec 2016 · 8,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordParticulate Matter in the Excavation Work Sites in Urban AreasGiuseppe Pizzo, Marina ClericoProblem statement: Excavation work sites in urban areas for infrastructures and buildings cause a great deal of disturbance and damage due to the emission of particulate matter, in particular in the area involved in urban renovation work. Under Italian legislation limits currently exist for PM10 and PM2, 5 but, in the case of excavation work sites, it would be also … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 23 Dec 2011 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluating the Effect of Inheritance on the Characteristics of Object Oriented ProgramsThabit S. Mohammed, Hayam K. MustafaThis paper considers a fact that software measures, which many of them were defined many years ago, are still not widely used in software industry, and therefore some additional insights will be gained by investigating Halstead's metrics and use them to propose more software metrics. Since the object oriented approach was considered an active technology for achieving high quality software, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInfluence of Transport Phenomena on Pollutants Concentration in Mediterranean Tunisian RegionsKarim Bouchlaghem, Blaise Nsom, Jean-Francois DorvilleThe objective of this study is to investigate the origin of the polluted air masses in the Tunisian Mediterranean regions and to characterize the atmospheric conditions and the transport and dispersion mechanisms that give rise to pollution events. For this end, we conducted continuous measurements campaigns of surface ozone concentration and meteorological parameters during summer 2011 using mobile and fixed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 23 Jan 2014 · 6,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAirway Metrics, Anatomy and Growth Performance of Pigs Reared Indoors and OutdoorsChakia Joi McClendon, Sherrell Pettiford, Dawn Conklin et al.While the swine industry has made incredible strides to improve ventilation, air quality in confinement buildings remains an issue. The goal of this study is to characterize correlation between large airway metrics and growth performance in piglets reared indoors and outdoors on pasture. Three experimental trials were conducted: Trial 1 included three breed types that were strictly raised indoors, Tamworth … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 24 Sep 2013 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
