Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sectoral Efficiency Analysis of Malaysian Stock Exchange Under Structural BreakChin Wen CheongWe investigated the weak-form market efficiency of nine daily sectoral indices of Malaysian stock market between 1996 and 2006. The structural break unit root tests evidenced most of the price indices characterized by mean-reverting process that violated the random walk process. These empirical results were in sharp contrast with the traditional unit-root test which ignored the economic crisis and currency … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Stress Analysis of the Arterial Wall Utilizing Physiological Pressure WaveformsM.M. Khani, M. Tafazzoli-Shadpour, S. Delavarpour et al.Arterial diseases, promoted by alterations in arterial wall properties, are among the main causes of mortality. Mechanical stresses of the arterial wall caused by pulsatile luminal pressure define arterial function in normal and pathological conditions. This study aims to determine dynamic stress distribution in the arterial wall subjected to physiological pressure waveforms. Finite element models of a typical artery are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSkeleton Primitive Extraction Method on Textures with Different Nonlinear WaveletsV. V. Kumar, U. S.N. Raju, P. Premchand, A. SureshProblem Statement: A novel method for dominant skeleton extraction of textures using different nonlinear wavelet transforms is proposed in this study. In the present study 3×3 masks are used for extraction of skeleton primitives. For a 3×3 skeleton primitive there will be 29 skeleton primitive combinations. But the present study considered a skeleton primitive for the skeletonization purpose if and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Routing Technique against Packet Dropping Attack in Adhoc NetworksN. Bhalaji, Sinchan banerjee, A. ShanmugamProblem Statement: Mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) were extensively used in defense and rescue applications. The dynamic topology of MANETs allows nodes to join and leave the network at any point of time. This dynamic property of MANET has rendered it vulnerable to various security attacks. Many trust establishment methods were proposed to increase the security in MANET. In this paper … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Biodiversity Screening for Metal Accumulators from Mineral Ore Rich Site in Andhra Pradesh, IndiaAditya Kumar Sarkar, Susmita Roy, Ananya Pal et al.Problem statement: Since the site selected for screening was a source of magnetite, the objective of this study was to isolate some groups of magnetotactic bacteria and microbes with potential of metal accumulation. Approach: The culture based approach was used for the study. Pure isolates obtained were characterized on the basis of morphology, biochemical tests, physiology as well as at … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Characterizations of Sands and Their Influence in Fall VelocityRuiz-Martinez Gabriel, Mendoza-Baldwin Edgar, Silva-Casarín RodolfoCancun beach is one of the most important tourist resorts on the Mexican coast, and is of prime importance to the local and national economies. As a result of the intense use of the beach and the unavailability of sand reserves, the extreme weather events that occur in the region (hurricanes) have permanently damaged the beach.
