Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Ranking Capability of the Hyperlink Based Search Engines Using Heuristic ApproachHaider A. Ramadhan, Khalil Shihab, Jafar H. AliTo evaluate the informative content of a Web page, the Web structure has to be carefully analyzed. Hyperlink analysis, which is capable of measuring the potential information contained in a Web page with respect to the Web space, is gaining more attention. The links to and from Web pages are an important resource that has largely gone unused in existing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Rejuvenation Scheduling of Distributed Computation Based on Dynamic ProgrammingHiroyuki Okamura, Kazuki Iwamoto, Tadashi DohiRecently, a complementary approach to handle transient software failures, called software rejuvenation, is becoming popular as a proactive fault management technique in operational software systems. In this study, we develop the optimal scheduling algorithms to trigger software rejuvenation in distributed computation circumstance. In particular, we focus on two different computation circumstances in terms of detection of failures. Based on the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Stability of a Certain Class of Linear Time-Varying SystemsM. De la SenThis study firstly considers the exponential stability of unforced linear systems of slowly time-varying dynamics. Possible switchings of the system structure to unstable dynamics during certain finite time intervals are admitted. The maintenance of global exponential stability does not necessarily require at most a finite number of switchings in the dynamics while infinitely many switches can also lead to stability. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,935 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimization of Load Oscillations in Travelling Mechanisms of CranesKamal KhandakjiThe paper presents an analysis of suspended load (cargo) oscillations in traveling mechanisms of cranes. A special control algorithm has been developed in order to get minimum cargo oscillations in minimum transient time. Mathematical model simulating the effect of the suggested control algorithm on cargo oscillations has been developed. Two power electronic circuits applicable for AC drives with three-phase induction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Current Sensor for IDDQ Testing of CMOS ICMohd Liakot Ali, Nurul Huda KhamisThis study presents the design of an off-chip current sensor for IDDQ testing of CMOS (Complementary Metal-oxide Semiconductor) ICs (integrated circuit). It provides a linear voltage signal of IDDQ current with a conversion factor of 5 mV/μA without any amplification. A voltage-controlled switch is used to bypass the transient current peaks. It has also been shown that the sensor is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of the Nature Properties of PlasmaPeter Evans, Frederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThis study presents the characteristics of the plasma and the effect of the laser beam to best suit the plasma model behavior. Special attention is paid to the “Genuine” Two Fluid Model and the ponder-motive and transient forces. These models are translated into a numerical study of the parameters, such as the electric field density and temperature distributions once electromagnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRedox Sensing and Cardiac Myocyte Loss: Some Recent InsightsShyamal K. GoswamiGeneration of reactive oxygen-nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) has long been ascribed to pathophysiological conditions like ageing, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders. However, more recent evidences suggest that while generation of ROS/RNS at a higher threshold is deleterious, at a lower dose these can act as second messengers, influencing specific cellular events like cell growth and differentiation, embryonic development, protection against ischemic injuries … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormal Analysis of Fault-tolerant Algorithm in the Time-triggered ArchitectureAliouat Zibouda, Aliouat Makhlouf, Batouche ChawkiTime-Triggered architecture (TTA) provides a computing infrastructure for the design and implementation of dependable distributed systems. The core building block of the TTA is the communication protocol TTP/C. This protocol has been designed to provide no faulty nodes. TTP/C integrates a set of fault-tolerant services like: message transmissions, clocks synchronization and Group Membership Protocol (GMP). The GMP protocol ensures that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,647 accessesView PDFCite
