Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Algorithm for Accelerated Acquirement of Minimal Representation of Super-large NumbersMohammed Al-MaitahAn algorithm for accelerated acquirement of minimal representation of super-large numbers was presented. The algorithm considers a new form of arithmetic, which was called arithmetic of q-representation of large range integers; which was based on the numbers of the generalized sequence of Fibonacci. The estimations of the complexity of the offered algorithms are presented. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractpmonpp: Pthread Monitor PreprocessorJinhua GuoMonitors have become an exceedingly important synchronization mechanism because they are a natural generalization of the object-oriented programming. A monitor construct encapsulates private data with public methods to operate on that data. Although the Pthread library contains dozens of functions for threading and synchronization, it does not provide direct support for the monitor. Students must explicitly provide mutual exclusion around … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformatics and Physics Models of Recognitions of DNA Replication and Their Biological ApplicationsKang Cheng, Chang Hua ZouWe initially propose concepts of Informative Intensity, Informative Response Intensity and Informative Flux, with different expressions. In a special expression of electrostatics, we describe Informative Intensity, Informative Response Intensity and Informative Flux in terms of electric field intensity, electric field force and electric field flux respectively. In a special expression of quantum mechanics, we originally propose a concept of Probability … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Competition in Today's Hong Kong The Views of Hong Kong Chinese Adolescents in Comparative PerspectiveDavid WatkinsOpen-ended responses to the question "what kind of role does competition play in Hong Kong today?" were obtained from 257 senior Hong Kong secondary school students aged 16-18 years. Content analysis showed the respondents viewed competition in terms of the areas in which competition was involved, the importance of such competition, and the value of this competition. Their views of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Bayes Estimation of the First Order Moving Average ModelMahmoud M. Smadi, Ahmed A. Abu-TalebIn this work, Bayes estimation of the first order moving average model (MA(1)) were studied. Theoretical justification of the Bayes estimates based on the estimated innovations is given. The convergence of Bayes and maximum likelihood estimates are examined via simulation using different parameter values. Also, Bayes estimates were determined when the model is invertible using the estimated innovations. For long … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Analysis of a Compound Redundant System Involving Human FailureRitu Gupta, S. K. Mittal, C. M. BatraThis study deals with a compound standby redundant system consisting of three sub-systems A, B, and C connected in series. The sub-system B consists of one main unit and the other is its standby redundant unit. These units further consist of two sub-units connected in series. The sub - units of main unit are connected to sub-units of standby unit … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural and Immunological Characterization of Hepatitis C Core Protein-DNA Plasmid ComplexesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Yaraima Aguilera, Viviana Falcon et al.Recently, it has been shown that a truncated HCV core (HCcAg) variant, covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120), interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine (pIDKE2), encoding the HCV structural proteins (HCcAg, E1 and E2). In the present work, HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes, forming heterogeneous packaged structures, were visualized using a negative stain/rotary shadow technique. Interestingly, 72 hours after intramuscular injection of HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Diameteral Fatigue Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt with Cellulose Oil Palm FiberRatnasamy Muniandy, Bujang B.K. HuatStone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a gap-graded mix that is gaining popularity worldwide. Generally, gap graded mixes are thought to be weak in fatigue resistance. In this study, cellulose fibers were pre-blended in PG64-22 binder with fiber proportions of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% by weight of aggregates. The fiber-modified binder showed improved rheological properties and showed that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrocontroller Based Power SupplyTanvir Singh Mundra, Er. Satwinder Singh Sachdeva, K.S. KahlonThese days, majority of electronic devices work on DC power source, so there was a requirement of a reliable and customized power supply. Generally, the requirements are not too varied, but still they require every time a new hardware designing. The idea presented here is to build a microcontroller controlled power supply[1] that is flexible enough to meet different customer … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecreational Viagra Use and Sexual Risk among Drug Abusing MenDennis G. Fisher, Robert Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Until recently, the Viagra connection to HIV was anchored in older adults. However, CDC investigation showed stability in 50+ HIV diagnoses on the heels of upward trends in risk indicators among men who have sex with men (MSM) and substance abusing populations. Signs have increasingly pointed to recreational drug use among younger populations, to which Viagra is being added to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,610 accessesView PDFCite
