Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Ski Center Services in Greece based on the Multiattribute Measurement Model of AttitudesTheophilos Masmanidis, Chris Vassiliadis, John MylonakisThe scope of this study was to evaluate ski center services in Greece. Our research sample consists of n=1,614 visitors in 11 of the largest ski centers in Greece. The 22-item SERVQUAL standard questionnaire has been used, with each item classified based on five quality-assessment dimensions. In order to assess ski center offered services, the Multiattribute Attitude Measurement Model has … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Mirex Concentrations along the Southern Shorelines of the Great Lakes, USADennis A. Apeti, Gunnar G. lauensteinMirex is a persistent and toxic polychlorinated pesticide that has compromised environmental quality in the Great Lakes region since the 1960s. As a bioaccumulative and carcinogenic compound, mirex at its current levels in Lake Ontario is a concern because of the potential for trophic level transfer and biomagnification in top predators. As a part of the NOAA’s National Status and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of an Environmental Management in Improving of Competition in Manufacturing CompaniesTalal M. BatainehEnvironmental management approach is the way that used to integrate the environmental considerations in the management operation and decision making operation in under developing countries, especially in this conditions, which are full of competition and continuously changes. So, implementation of environmental management approach is a very important action, because it has a positive effects on the function of the entity … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,196 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 · 6,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Complications of HIV Disease and Substances of AbuseLisa R. Norman, Anil KumarIn the last decade, it has become increasingly apparent that neuropsychological deficits and impairments are associated with HIV infection. Given that antiretroviral therapies have extended the life expectancy of HIV-infected persons, it becomes critical to focus on the physical and mental health of these patients. Understanding the neuropsychology of HIV disease can provide insight into improving mental health, functional capacity … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Hot Strip Rolling Force Prediction using a Bayesian Trained Artificial Neural Network and Analytical ModelsAbdelkrim Moussaoui, Yacine Selaimia, Hadj A. AbbassiThe authors discuss the combination of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with analytical models to improve the performance of the prediction model of finishing rolling force in hot strip rolling mill process. The suggested model was implemented using Bayesian Evidence based training algorithm. It was found that the Bayesian Evidence based approach provided a superior and smoother fit to the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,140 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Solution Code for Structural Analysis upon Joint ElementS. A. Sadrnejad, M. LabibzadehThe analysis of large structures mostly requires a complete three dimensional finite element discretization. Stability of such structures includes not only the stability of structure itself but also that of foundation as well as interconnection elements. The general instability of a structure may be affected by two aspects, firstly, an inappropriate preliminary classical design of the structure and inadequate control … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of an Automatic Blast Furnace through Integrated Simulation ModelingAli Azadeh, S. F. GhaderiThe objective of this study was to develop an integrated simulation model of an automatic blast furnace in a full-scale steelmaking factory. The integrated simulation model introduces a set of optimizing alternatives through sensitivity analysis. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the blast furnace workshop. The workshop is composed two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDFT Based Electrophilicity Index and QSAR study of Phenols as Anti Leukaemia AgentFarhan A. Pasha, Hemant K. Srivastava, Yakoob Beg, Pashupati P. singhDensity Functional reactivity indices based QSAR study of 49 phenol derivatives is presented in this paper. Two different models to describe the anti leukaemia activity of phenols have been made. First QSAR model includes molecular properties like molecular weight (Mw), hardness (η), chemical potential (μ), total energy, and electrophilicity index (ω). Various regression models have been made and regression quality … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Optimize Strategy based QoS Route Algorithm for Mobile Ad hoc NetworksFu Peng, Zhang DeyunIt is very difficult to find feasible QoS (Quality of service) routes in the mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), because of the nature constrains of it, such as dynamic network topology, wireless communication link and limited process capability of nodes. In order to reduce average cost in flooding path discovery scheme of the traditional MANETs routing protocols and increase the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
