Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Bandwidth Allocation for Multiple Traffic Classes in IEEE 802.16e WiMax Networks: A Petrinet ApproachS. Geetha, R. JayaparvathyProblem statement: WiMAX supports multiple types of traffic such as data, voice and video. Each flow requires a certain minimum bandwidth to achieve its QoS. Bandwidth allocation to traffic classes should be in such a way that fairness criteria is met with. Hence, we propose a dynamic bandwidth allocation mechanism to achieve fair and efficient allocation. Approach: We present a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 6 Sep 2011 · 7,101 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Human Activities on River Bank Stability (Case Study)Mojtaba Yamani, Abolghasem Goorabi, Javad DowlatiProblem statement: Investigation of interaction of human activities and rivers has become a important problem because they have essential role on rivers morphology. So, in this study Atrak River in North-East of Iran has been considered. Approach: The aim of this research was to determine human impact on the Atrak River morphology in the past and estimation of future outcomes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 9,617 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Triple Play Services Using Multi Protocol Label Switching TechnologyWaheed Yasin, Hamidah IbrahimProblem statement: Traditional IP networks have many limitations such as routing tables, which can be complex and time consuming. These limitations affect the performance of the network in some applications of triple play services (i.e., voice, video and data) which are characterized as time sensitive applications. Thus, Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology has been proposed to speed up the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,520 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Single Pass, Double Duct Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Air Collector with CPC and FinsM. Ebrahim Ali Alfegi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Yusof Hj Othman, Baharudin Bin YatimThe temperature of photovoltaic modules increases when it absorbs solar radiation, causing a decrease in efficiency. This undesirable effect can be partially avoided by applying a heat recovery unit with fluid circulation (air or water) with the photovoltaic module. Such unit is called photovoltaic/thermal collector (pv/t) or hybrid (pv/t). An experimental investigation of a solar air heater with photovoltaic cell … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,987 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Design Strategy for Volumetric Efficiency Improvement in a Multi-cylinder Stationary Diesel Engine and its Validity under Transient Engine OperationP. Seenikannan, V.M. Periasamy, P. NagarajThis paper proposes an approach to improve engine performance of volumetric efficiency of a multi cylinder diesel engine. A computer simulation model is used to compare volumetric efficiency with instantaneous values. A baseline engine model is first correlated with measured volumetric efficiency data to establish confidence in the engine model's predictions. A derivative of the baseline model with exhaust manifold, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,498 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Nitrogen Non-Point Sources in Po River Near TurinGiuseppe Genon, Franco MarcheseThe non-point hydraulic and nitrogen loads in the stretch of Po river upstream and downstream from the city of Turin have been investigated, on the basis of regular data concerning quality and flow rates in the river in different periods of a reference year. The collected data have been organized in terms of hydraulic and mass balances, taking into account … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,642 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModeling Traffic Flow and Management at Un-signalized, Signalized and Roundabout Road IntersectionsR. Kakooza, L.S. Luboobi, J.Y.T. MugishaTraffic congestion continues to hinder economic and social development and also has a negative impact on the environment. A simple mathematical model is used to analyze the different types of road intersections in terms of their Performance in relation to managing traffic congestion and to establish the condition for stability of the road intersections after sufficiently longer periods of time … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,611 accessesView PDF Cite
