Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Wireless Medium Access Control Layer Misbehavior Detection System in IEEE 802.11 NetworkA. M. Alsahag, M. OthmanWireless Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols such as IEEE 802.11 use distributed contention resolution mechanisms for sharing the wireless channel. In this environment, selfish hosts that fail to adhere to the MAC protocol may obtain an unfair throughput share. For example, IEEE 802.11 requires hosts competing for access to the channel to wait for a "back-off" interval, randomly selected from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetals Concentrations in Tissues of Tilapia gallier, Crarias lazera and Osteoglossidae Caught from Alau Dam, Maiduguri, Borno State, NigeriaG.A. Dimari, F.I. Abdulrahman, J.C. Akan, S.T. GarbaAn analysis of intestine, liver, stomach and gill tissue concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Co, Pb, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cd and Zn) in three commercially important fish species (Tilapia gallier, Crarias lazera and Osteoglossidae. caught within Alau Dam between the periods of January to August, 2007. These heavy metals were determined using Perkin-Elmer AAnalyst 300 Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDead Sea Rate of EvaporationAbdelaziz L. AL-KhlaifatThe Dead Sea is exceptional by many standards. It is the saltiest and lowest lake in the world. Moreover it is a closed lake with very large variations in its water level caused by both man-made and natural oscillations of the components that make up the water balance. Most of the fundamental studies on the Dead Sea focused on the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBlack White Color and Gray Pixel Extraction ModelK. Selvam, B. PoornaThis is a design approach of software on image and pattern recognition, while eliminating the color and gray code of an image for comparison. This approach is quite effective for black and white and color images or scenes. Here we select particular part or parts of a given image and we compare with the contents of template-image (biometric) database. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSesame Oil As A Protective Agent Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardio Toxicity In RatKaneez F. Shad, Suhail Al-Salam, Alaaeldin A. HamzaThe therapeutic value of doxorubicin (DXO) as anticancer antibiotic is limited by its cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of sesame oil against DXO-induced cardiotoxicity and oxidative stress. The administration of DXO (20 mg/kg) to Wister male rats, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase activities (as cardiotoxicity indices) as well as cardiac malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing on the Biological Degradation of Toluene under Aerobic ConditionsAbdel E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, K. MartinellThe effectiveness of in-vessel bioremediation in reducing the concentration of toluene in contaminated soil under continuous and intermittent mixing conditions using invessel composting system. The results showed that there was a startup period (60 h) during which the average temperature rose from 21 to 32 and 40°C (and then remained constant) for the bioreactors with continuous and intermittent mixing, respectively. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetoxification of Heavy Metal Contaminated SoilsFloarea Damian, Gheorghe DamianThe concentration of the heavy metals in the soils from the strong affected zones because of the mining and metallurgical industry, Baia Mare and Zlatna (Romania), is significant due to the high values of the contents and association of the four metals Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd. The efficacy of the natural zeolites in heavy metals immobilization from the studied soils … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Algorithms for String Matching Problem on Single and Two Dimensional Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus SystemsS. Viswanadha Raju, A. Vinaya BabuWe considered string matching on LARPBS and 2D LARPBS. This has applications such as string databases, cellular automata and computational biology. The main use of this method is to reduce the time spent on comparisons in string matching by using LARPBS. We investigated exact string matching and approximate string matching problems. For these two sub problems, we obtained O (n) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,530 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractColored Digital Image Watermarking using the Wavelet TechniqueMohammed F. Al-Hunaity, Salam A. Najim, Ibrahiem M. El-EmaryWith the revolution of information technology and Wide Area Networking, data has become less and less private where the access of media as well as the attempts to change and manipulate the contents of media data have become a common case. For that, we need to use a watermarking technique to protect the copyright of the media as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSSM: Slot Scheduling Mechanisms in a Multihop Wireless Hotspot NetworkMaan Younis AbdullahOur focus was to determine a "slot" time for message forwarding. To this end, we model the system as a "Queue" where the time for packet forwarding is determined by slot, at different slot range for each relaying node. We also introduced one important reason of the poor performance is the close coupling between medium contention and network congestion. Our … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,445 accessesView PDFCite
