Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Utility Accrual Scheduling Algorithms for Adaptive Real Time SystemIdawaty Ahmad, Muhammad Fauzan OthmanProblem statement: This study proposed two utility accrual real time scheduling algorithms named as Preemptive Utility Accrual Scheduling (PUAS) and Non-preemptive Utility Accrual Scheduling (NUAS) algorithms. These algorithms addressed the unnecessary abortion problem that was identified in the existing algorithm known as General Utility Scheduling (GUS). It is observed that GUS is inefficient for independent task model because it simply … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,356 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreliminary Tests Concerning Zero-Valent Iron Efficiency in Inorganic Pollutants RemediationSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiProblem statement: This study was aimed to a preliminary evaluation of the applicability of granular Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI) to the on site remediation of groundwater polluted by inorganic contaminants by means of a Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB). A particular interest was devoted to groundwater impacted by Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) that was caused by the oxidation of metal sulphide minerals … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting Peak Load Electricity Demand Using Statistics and Rule Based ApproachZ. Ismail, A. Yahya, K. A. MahpolProblem statement: Forecasting of electricity load demand is an essential activity and an important function in power system planning and development. It is a prerequisite to power system expansion planning as the world of electricity is dominated by substantial lead times between decision making and its implementation. The importance of demand forecasting needs to be emphasized at all level as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Air Pollution on Ozone Layer Thickness in Troposphere over the State of KuwaitH. O. Al Jeran, A. R. KhanTroposphere ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 19,492 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Subordination Results Associated With Certain Subclass of Analytic Meromorphic FunctionsF. Ghanim, M. DarusFor functions belonging to each of the subclasses S*w (β) and C*w (β) of normalized analytic functions in the open unit disk D, which are investigated in this paper when 0≤β<1, the authors derive several subordination results involving the Hadamard product (or convolution) of the associated functions. A number of interesting consequences of some of these subordination results are also … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJTst- An Automated Unit Testing Tool for Java ProgramKamal Zuhairi Zamli, Nor Ashidi Mat IsaSoftware testing is an integral part of software development lifecycle.
