Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOmega Network Hash ConstructionChai Wen Chuah, Azman SamsudinProblem statement: Cryptographic hash functions are important cryptographic primitives. They are commonly used for data integrity checking and data authentication. Most of the cryptographic hash functions are based on the Merkle-Damgård construction. The basic Merkle-Damgård construction runs over the input sequentially, which can lead to problems when the input size is large since the computation time increases linearly. Approach: Therefore, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fragile Watermarking Scheme for Image Authentication with Tamper Localization Using Integer Wavelet TransformP. MeenakshiDevi, M. Venkatesan, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: In recent years, as digital media are gaining wider popularity, their security related issues are becoming greater concern. Method for authenticating and assuring the integrity of the image is required. Image authentication is possible by embedding a layer of the authentication signature into the digital image using a digital watermark. In some applications tamper localization is also required. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesalination leading to Salinity Variations in Kuwait Marine WatersAhmad E. Al-DousariProblem statements: The salinity of seawater is a critical issue for desalination process. Approach: The salinity changes in the coastal waters of Kuwait due to large scale power and desalination activity were evaluated. Results: Systematic sampling campaigns were planned to cover the uptake and outfall of the desalination plant spreading evenly the sampling points to cover the freshwater input zone … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoplankton Community of Elechi Creek, Niger Delta, Nigeria-A Nutrient-Polluted Tropical CreekO. A. Davies, J. F.N. Abowei, C. C. TawariProblem statement: Elechi Creek of the Upper Bonny Estuary in the Niger Delta contributes to the Rivers State Fish resources. It is a sink receiving organic anthropogenic wastes from Diobu, Eagle Island and waterfront dwellers of Diobu areas. Fishing, car washing, bathing, swimming and other human activities are constantly going on within and around this creek. Based on these activities, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of New Load Shedding Special Protection Schemes for a Double Area Power SystemH. Seyedi, M. Sanaye-PasandIn this paper several Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) schemes are designed as special protection schemes to preserve the integrity of islands, formed following the outage of tie lines connecting two areas in a double area power system. For the purpose of analysis, the Iranian interconnected grid is simulated in a suitable power system analysis software. The grid is connected … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractEmetine produce Entamoeba histolytica Death by Inducing a Programmed Cell DeathJ.D. Villalba-Magdaleno, R. Rojas, C. Gómez et al.Amoebiasis is a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical countries. Although a number of antiamoebic agents are used for its treatment and the molecular targets of these drugs have been identified, the biochemical and physiological mechanisms that produce trophozoite death are little known. The present study dates the in vitro induction of programmed cell death (PCD) in E. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAction of Calciotropic Hormones on Bone Metabolism-Role of Vitamin D3 in Bone Remodeling EventsCatharine Andresen, Ellen Olson, Chudy I. Nduaka et al.Vitamin D3 is known to have immunosuppressive effects that can be beneficial for treatment of immune disorders and transplant rejection, however therapeutic application is limited due to hypercalcemia and hypercalcuria. The goal of our studies was to explore both the acute and steady state effects of vitamin D3 on bone remodeling as potential limiting factors to broader use of vitamin … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 8,816 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Optimistic Concurrency Control for Real-Time Database SystemsAmer A. AliThe performance of database transaction processing system can be profoundly affected by the concurrency control method employed since it is necessary to preserve database integrity in a multi-user environment. In addition to satisfying the consistency requirement as in traditional database system, real-time database systems must also satisfy timing constraints. In this study we present a virtual run policy for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
