Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Prototype Automated Sorting System for Plastic RecyclingD. A. Wahab, A. Hussain, E. Scavino et al.Automated sorting for plastic recyclables has been seen as the way forward in the plastic recycling industry. Automated sorting provides significant improvements in terms of efficiency and consistency in the sorting process. In the case of macro sorting, which is the most common type of automated sorting, efficiency is determined by the mechanical details of the material handling system as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 8,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFolding of Trefoil Knot and its GraphM. El-Ghoul, A. I. Elrokh, M. M.A. ShamiriIn this study, we introduce the effect of the folding, conditional folding, retraction and conditional retraction on trefoil knot and its graph. We introduce the sheeted trefoil knot and the folding and retraction of this type and present the limit of foldings. We study how to obtain the types of link graph by adjacency matrix for any number of vertices … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence, Types and Risk Factors for Malnutrition in Displaced Sudanese ChildrenNuha Mamoun, Susan Homedia, Mustafa Mabyou et al.The nutritional status of 327 under-five children living in Mayoo displacement camp, Khartoum, Sudan, was assessed during May- August 2004. Risk factors for protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) were also studied. According to WHO criteria, a total of 186 (56.1%) children had malnutrition, of these 101(30.1%), 43 (13.1%) and 42 (12.8%) were mildly, moderately and severely malnourished respectively. According to Welcome classification, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,674 accessesView PDFCite
