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 · 6,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Capability of Land Use Planning for Rural DevelopmentJ. Nouri, R. Sharifipour, A. A. BabaeiExecution of development and creation of appropriate points for rural development without considering ecological capability will result in the appearance of several environmental, economic and social problems. This research is done in an analysis approach frame of a system with the aim of choosing the most suitable location for rural development in Abadeh with an area of 22,000 km2. In … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRe-organization Impact on the Telekom Malaysia's International Division ProductivityAhasanul Haque, Ali Khatibi, Khaizura KarimInternational Divisions' productivity was perceived to incline towards a downward trend which was contravened in 1996 re-organization objective of Telekom Malaysia. This study aims to analyze the root causes of this setback and recommend the solutions to improve the company's productivity. The method to diagnose the root cause was done through surveys and interviews. The data collection was carried out … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInefficacy of Topical Diclofenac in Arthritic HorsesNicolás F. Villarino, Tomas J. Vispo, Marcos et al.The objective of the present study was test the anti-inflammatory efficacy of diclofenac dietilamine, applied epicutaneously at a dose rate of 0.44 mg kg-1, in a model of acute arthritis in horses. Four clinical end-points, as well as two biochemical markers, were used as surrogate markers of the required clinical response (analgesia, anti-inflammatory). Low diclofenac concentrations were measured in blood … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating Soil Contamination with Kriging Interpolation MethodFatima Zohra Benmostefa LarguecheThe main objective of this study was to investigate whether Kriging is a useful tool to estimate the spatial distribution of ground pollutants in contaminated land. The second objective of this work was a more practical one. It consists on the identification of areas that should be subjected to remedial actions and also on deciding which contaminant needs to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 8,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Iterative Method for Algorithms Implementation on a Limited Dynamically Reconfigurable HardwareAbdellatif Mtibaa, Abdessalem B. Abdelali, Lotfi Boussaid, Elbey BourennaneIn this study we propose a framework and a combined temporal partitioning and design space exploration method for run time reconfigurable processors. Our objective is to help designers to implement an algorithm in limited FPGA area resources while respecting the execution time constraint. The algorithm to be implemented is represented by a task graph with different implementation alternatives (design points) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,538 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 abstractA New Software Quality Model for Evaluating COTS ComponentsAdnan Rawashdeh, Bassem MatalkahStudies show that COTS-based (Commercial off the shelf) systems that are being built recently are exceeding 40% of the total developed software systems. Therefore, a model that ensures quality characteristics of such systems becomes a necessity. Among the most critical processes in COTS-based systems are the evaluation and selection of the COTS components. There are several existing quality models used … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 11,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoftware Process Modeling Using Role and CoordinationAtil Fadila, Ghoul Said, Bounour NoraThe term software process joins all activities that have to be achieved in order to develop software. It has been shown that modeling such processes is difficult and expensive task. It's confirmed by diversity of software processes modeling approaches which are however, not satisfactory. This study deals with an area of growing importance and presents a role- and coordination- based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,575 accessesView PDFCite
