Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReed-Muller Codec Simulation PerformanceO. O. Khalifa, A. H. Abdullah, N. Suriyana et al.The approach to error correction coding taken by modern digital communication systems started in the late 1940's with the ground breaking work of Shannon, Hamming and Golay. Reed-Muller (RM) codes were an important step beyond the Hamming and Golay codes because they allowed more flexibility in the size of the code word and the number of correctable errors per code … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,284 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultivariate Modelling of the Canary Islands Banana Output. The Role of Farmer Income ExpectationConcepción González Concepción, María Candelaria Gil-Fariña, Celina Pestano-GabinoThe EU is the world‘s largest importer of bananas and the only major managed market in the international banana trade. Spain is the main banana producer within the European Union (EU), followed by France and Portugal. In all these countries the fruit is grown in overseas islands situated in tropical or sub-tropical areas and bananas are a pillar of the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOperating System Support for Wireless Sensor NetworksAnt A. Fröhlich, Lucas F. WannerIn a wireless sensor network, several sensor nodes obtain local data and communicate among themselves in order to create a global vision of an object of study. The idea of a self-managed network of low-power, autonomous devices, that collects data from an environment and propagates information through a wireless link brought about several new challenges and requirements in application run-time … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Post-Mating Progesterone Supplement on Pregnancy and Lambing Rates of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Jomana F. HijaziThe objective of this experiment was to determine whether post-mating progesterone (P4) supplement improves pregnancy and lambing rates in ewes bred during the seasonal anestrous period. In June, 39 synchronized to estrus Awassi ewes were allowed with four harnessed fertile rams immediately following CIDR-G device removal (day 0 and 0 hour). Five days following ram introduction, ewes were randomly assigned … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Nitrate Contamination Risk Assessment: A Comparison of Parametric Systems and Simulation ModellingDario Sacco, Marco Offi, Marina De Maio, Carlo GrignaniGroundwater nitrate contamination is a source of rising concern that has been faced through the introduction of several regulations in different countries. However the methodologies used in the definition of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones are not included in the regulations. The aim of this work was to compare different methodologies, used to asses groundwater nitrate contamination risks, based on parametric systems … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Service Mobility Architecture for SIP EnvironmentsThierno Bah, Samuel Pierre, Roch GlithoLately, the proliferation of small portable devices has driven the introduction of a new mobility concept called service mobility. In order to support service mobility, we introduce a new architecture implementing mechanisms to access end user’s personalized services regardless of his physical location. The proposed architecture leverages on mobile agent technology to transport and move services to the end user’s … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAd Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks Routing Protocols - A ReviewGeetha Jayakumar, G. GopinathMobile ad hoc networks(MANET) represent complex distributed systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self organize into arbitrary and temporary ad-hoc network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internet work in areas with no preexisting communication infrastructure e.g., disaster recovery environments. An ad-hoc network is not a new one, having been around in various forms … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 115,241 accessesView PDFCite
