Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Quality Control and Everyone’s Participation in Japan to Prevent Pollution During Last Five DecadesMohammed Matouq, Nasir Kloub, Kazue InoueEconomic Growth in Japan after World War II was very remarkable and products from its manufacturing industry were widely accepted in the world market after productivity and quality of them were tremendously improved. On the other hand, Japan soon found itself in severe environmental deterioration, due to not being paid any attention to environment. However, that pollution from industry was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTask Load Balancing Strategy for Grid ComputingB. Yagoubi, Y. SlimaniWorkload and resource management are two essential functions provided at the service level of the Grid software infrastructure. To improve the global throughput of these environments, effective and efficient load balancing algorithms are fundamentally important. Most strategies were developed in mind, assuming homogeneous set of resources linked with homogeneous and fast networks. However for computational Grids we must address main … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuccessful Treatment of Both Mother and Infant in Pregnancy-Associated Group A Streptococcal Toxic Shock SyndromeTakayuki Tanaka, Kousaku Matsubara, Yumiko Umemoto et al.All perinatal cases of group A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) previously documented in English literature have been fatal for the mother, the fetus or both. We present the first report of successful treatment of a mother-infant pair with perinatal STSS. A pregnant woman developed STSS at 34 weeks’ gestation 3 h after delivery, following a 25-h history of fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRapamycin Inhibits Cystogenesis by Cystic Epithelial Cells Derived from Human Autosomal Dominant Polycystic KidneysGerard Elberg, Teresa V. Lewis, Lijuan Chen, Martin A. TurmanAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common genetic disorders and carries a high health burden since it progresses to renal failure in half of the afflicted individuals by the 6th decade of life. Currently, there is no effective treatment to slow the progression of ADPKD. Rapamycin, a drug most commonly used as an immunosuppressive agent … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Soybean Mosaic Virus NIa Protein and its Processing Event in Bacterial ExpressionBong K. Choi, Jae S. Park, Hye J. Ahn et al.Soybean mosaic virus (SMV)-CN18 is an Rsv resistance-breaking (RB) isolate to overcome soybean resistance genes Rsv1, Rsv3 and Rsv4. The aim of this study was to characterize nuclear inclusion protein a (NIa protein) of RB isolate at the molecular level and demonstrate its processing into genome-linked protein (VPg) and NIa-Pro domains in Esherichia coli containing a bacterial expression pET vector … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOntology-based Knowledge Networks for users' training: The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) caseMacris AristomenisThis paper presents a prototype model for the design and development of training material, where both the multimedia objects used in training scenarios and the knowledge built into them are captured and fully reusable. Knowledge found in the logic, the structure and the ways of use of domain specific literacy is represented as a knowledge network (a collection of educational … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Hybrid Mobile Agent Protocol for Wireless Multihop Internet AccessA. Velmurugan, R. RajaramInternet-based Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) is an emerging technology that supports self-organizing mobile networking infrastructures. This is expected to be of great use in commercial applications for the next generation Internet users. A number of technical challenges are faced today due to the heterogeneous, dynamic nature of this hybrid MANET. A new hybrid routing scheme AODV_ALMA is proposed, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Enabling Technologies for Ubiquitous NetworksJunaid A. Chaudhry, Chaudhry S. Hussain, Seungkyu ParkEvery new technology that makes its way in the market is supported by a collection of core components called enabling technologies. These components play a major role in making that new technology a success. In this paper we discuss Autonomic Computing (AC) and especially self management and Service Discovery (SD) as the enabling technologies for ubiquitous networks. The AC puts … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,536 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation on the Behavior of Rigid Polyvinylchloride Pipes Subjected to Uniaxial Compression LoadsAbdullah Ali Nasser Alhamati, Abdul Halim Ghazali, Jamalodin Norzaie et al.The objective of this research was to investigate the capability of rigid Polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) pipes to sustain axial loads. The behavior of PVC-U pipes specimens subjected to short-term uniaxial compression loads was experimentally investigated. Results of the load-displacement tests on pipes of different wall thickness, diameter and specimen heights were recorded. The experimental test results show that the PVC-U pipes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,696 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOperation of an SLA-aware Grid FabricMatthias HovestadtResearch on Grid Computing started under purely technical questions of how to realize the virtualization of distributed resources. Now, the commercial user should be attracted to use the Grid. Future applications of the Next Generation Grid will demand for flexible negotiation mechanisms supporting various ways of Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees. In this context a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a powerful … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
