Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgent Based Grid Resource Discovery with Negotiated Alternate Solution and Non-Functional Requirement PreferencesP. Muthuchelvi, G.S. Anandha Mala, V. RamachandranProblem statement: As grid resources are geographically distributed, efficient resource discovery and management has become one of the important requirements. Besides, Grid users are independent identities and negotiation is necessary for reconciling their diverse characteristics. Therefore special mechanism was required to negotiate and discover the required resource or similar resource as an alternative when discovery fails. Moreover the quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLack of Association of Glutathione S-transferase Gene Polymorphisms in Iranian Prostate Cancer SubjectsB. Sahar Ansari, R. Vasudevan, M. Mirinargesi et al.Problem statement: Glutathione S-transferase is super family genes that encode enzymes which involve in the detoxification of the cell and protects DNA from damage. Conflicting results was found in several studies in association with GSTT1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms and prostate cancer. In this study, we determined the association between the GSTT1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphism and prostate cancer in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Land Uses' Consequences in Coastal Area of Faliraki and Delta Penaeus River in GreeceAgisilaos EconomouProblem statement: The areas of Faliraki and Delta Pinaeus river is presented with downgrade in natural resources that has a direct affect on the future development of these areas. This research investigated (i) whether land uses have downgraded the coastal areas (ii) to which degree the determination of land uses can play an important role in the reduction of environmental … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublic Perception of Local Communities towards the Sustainable Management of Laguna Lake, PhilippinesGlenn L. Sia Su, Julio CervantesCommon failures in resolving multiple use conflicts are attributed to the inability of institutions to recognize and incorporate people's perceptions towards the resource. This study aims to determine the local communities' perceptions and factors influencing their perceptions towards Laguna Lake and its sustainable management. Copies of a self-administered questionnaire were distributed to systematically selected householders situated near and far from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Optimization of Discrete Wavelets Transform Based Image Watermarking Using Genetic AlgorithmsA. Al-Haj, A. Abu-ErrubThe excellent spatial localization, frequency spread and multi-resolution characteristics of the Discrete Wavelets Transform (DWT), which were similar to the theoretical models of the human visual system, facilitated the development of many imperceptible and robust DWT-based watermarking algorithms. There had been extremely few proposed algorithms on optimized DWT-based image watermarking that can simultaneously provide perceptual transparency and robustness since these … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) in Clinical SettingsM.A. Shorman, A.M. Atoom, N.M. Abuharfeil, A.M. Al-MajaliTo evaluate different methods for the identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci and their reliability, 112 Staphylococcal isolates (32 Staphylococcus aureus isolates and 80 coagulase negative Staphylococci isolates "CoNS") were collected from 118 nasal swab cultures and were subjected to three methods to detect oxacillin susceptibility of the isolates. The three methods were oxacillin disk diffusion method; the Epsilometer- test (E-test) and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Architecture-An Alternative To Application-Specific Digital Signal Processing ArchitecturesN. Ramadass, S. Natarajan, J. Raja Paul PerinbamEmerging trends in design of real-time digital signal processing systems indicate that in the future, a significant amount of performance improvement can be achieved using dynamically reconfigurable embedded architectures consisting of reconfigurable, general-purpose components. Although embedded real-time systems have long been prevailing in our society, no firm scientific base has been established yet to handle timing requirements in a systematic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Voice of Exit - Towards a Theory of Democratic InconsistencyMarco GoliThe international armed conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are only the most apparent manifestation of the dilemmas that challenge the European liberal democracy. A much more crucial paradox, as far as certain European countries are concerned, is produced by the inertia of the democratic game it self. That is the construction of religious and ethnic affiliation as the very entrance … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Scheduling Algorithm Based on Petri Nets and Simulated AnnealingRachida Hadiby Ghoul, Abdelhamid Benjelloul, Sihem Kechida, Hicham TebbikhThis study aims at presenting a hybrid Flexible Manufacturing System "HFMS" short-term scheduling problem. Based on the art state of general scheduling algorithms, we present the meta-heuristic, we have decided to apply for a given example of HFMS. That was the study of Simulated Annealing Algorithm SA. The HFMS model based on hierarchical Petri nets, was used to represent static … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduced Microcracking Affects Osteoblast Attachment on Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Tissue EngineeringIan O. Smith, Melissa J. Baumann, Eldon D. CaseBone microdamage caused by routine activity plays an important role in triggering targeted and nontargeted bone remodeling. Targeted remodeling occurs near localized areas of microdamage[1-4]. We hypothesize that bone remodeling may be directly and positively influenced by inducing microcracks in hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. A study by Case et al. showed microcracking in HA discs having >98% … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,560 accessesView PDFCite
