Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreserving Data Consistency through Neighbor Replication on Grid DaemonA. Noraziah, M. Mat Deris, N.A. Ahmed et al.In modern distributed systems, replication receives particular attention for providing high data availability, fault tolerance and enhance the performance of the system. It is an important mechanism because it enables organizations to provide users with access to current data where and when they need it. However, this way of data organization introduces low data consistency and data coherency as more … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStomatal Resistance to Low Leaf Water Potential at Different Growth Stages Affects Plant Biomass in Glycine max L.F.B. Adejare, C.E. UmebeseTwo cultivars of Glycine max (L) Merril. (TGX536-02D and TGX 923-2E designated cv.A and cv.B respectively), were subjected to water stress for a period of 7 days at the vegetative (T2), flowering/fruiting (T3) and seed development (T4) stages of growth, with a control (T1). Stress was considered moderate at T2 stage (ψw : -1.53 to -1.57 MPa) and severe at … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting Air Temperatures Using Time Series Models and Neural-based AlgorithmsMahmoud M. Smadi, Farouq S. MjalliRecently, neural network models have been popular and found useful for forecasting a wide variety of time series data in many disciplines. This is due to their favorable modeling properties of simplicity, fault and noise tolerance and their capability to adapt to process changes. Nevertheless, applications in climatology have been less widespread than other disciplines such as economics. In this … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Vitamin C on the Metabolic Parameters of Experimental Diabetes MellitusMariam Al-Shamsi, Amr Amin, Ernest AdeghateThe role of vitamin C on diabetes mellitus is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of oral administration of vitamin C on some of the metabolic parameters of diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ (60 mg kgˉ1 body weight at 12 weeks of age). Vitamin C (10, 50, 100 mg kgˉ1 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbnormal Glucose Regulation and Treatment Strategies for Insulin Resistance HIV-Infected PatientsSteven GrinspoonHIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy often demonstrate abnormalities in glucose regulation, in association with changes in fat distribution[1,2]. In the majority of cases, these abnormalities are best characterized by insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance, rather than overt diabetes mellitus and fasting hyperglycemia. Insulin resistance may result from direct effects of antiretroviral therapy, changes in fat distribution or … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simulation-Based Comparison of Multimedia Traffic Prioritization Schemes for High-Performance Input-Queued Packet SwitchesSalman A. AlQahtaniThis study investigates the problem of enabling Quality of Service (QoS) of multimedia traffic at the input port of high-performance input-queued packet switches using a simulation-based evaluation. We focus on the possibility of assuring QoS of multimedia traffic in such switches by implementing traffic prioritization at the input port where each input-queue has been modified to provide a separate buffer … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation Between Circulating Early Endothelial Progenitors and CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells: A Possible Cross-talk between Immunity and Angiogenesis?Shmuel Schwartzenberg, Adi Mor, Galia Luboshits et al.Regulatory T-cells (Treg) are a recently defined subset of CD4+ cells that can suppress inflammation and induce tolerance. Phenotypically, T-regs are characterized by a high level of expression of the IL-2 receptor alpha chain, CD25. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can transform into mature endothelial cells and promote vessel formation by inducing postnatal angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Herein, we tested the hypothesis … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Detection of Computer Communication Networks Using an Expert SystemIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Adanan I. Al RabiaThe main objective of this study was to build an expert system for assisting the network administrator in his work of management and administration of the computer communication network. Theory of operation of the proposed expert system depends on using a time series model capable of forecasting the various performance parameters as: delay, utilization and collision frequency. When the expert … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,125 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault-tolerant Distributed Systems with Diagnostics AlgorithmsOleg Viktorov, Afif MghawishTo provide consistent actions in distributed systems with faulty nodes the Byzantine agreement protocol (algorithm) is widely used. In case of using message exchange scheme without authentication the Byzantine agreement algorithm leads to agreement if the number of nodes doesn’t exceed 1/3 of the total number. The proposed algorithms based on diagnostics procedures are used to reach an agreement in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 4,840 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
