Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProcess Intensification for Production and Recovery of Biological ProductsHamideh Vaghari, Maryam Eskandari, Vahideh Sobhani et al.Bioprocesses are important biological reactions which need several sophisticated methods and equipment to produce many novel and important compounds which some of them are traditionally produced by synthetic chemical reactions. In bioprocesses, the products are often produced in a dilute environment and finally they require a high purity. Because of that, downstream processes are usually included a large number of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2015 · 8,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA STOCHASTIC FRONTIER APPROACH FOR MEASURING TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF SMALL-SCALE IMPROVED SALT PRODUCTION IN GUINEABoubacar Siddighi Balde, Hajime Kobayashi, Makoto Nohmi et al.Salt production is a major driving force behind the loss of mangrove in Guinea. As the traditional salt production causes increasing deforestation, the intensive exploitation of mangrove resources has now reached a critical threshold. Therefore, improved techniques using sunlight as the source of energy has been introduced as an alternative to the traditional salt production techniques which consumes a significant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 14 May 2014 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDISTRIBUTIVE POWER MIGRATION AND MANAGEMENT ALGORITHM FOR CLOUD ENVIRONMENTP. Prakash, G. Kousalya, Shriram K. Vasudevan, Kawshik K. RangarajuIn cloud computing, the resources are provided as service over the internet on demand basis. The resources such as servers, networks, storage, applications are dynamically scaled and virtualized. The demand grows gradually for each virtual machine in a cloud computing environment over time. So, it is necessary to manage the resources under each cluster to match the demand in order … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2013 · 6,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES IN IMPROVING SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT-BASED ADMISSION CONTROL FOR A SOFTWARE-AS-A-SERVICE PROVIDER IN CLOUDR. S. Mohana, P. ThangarajSoftware as a Service (SaaS) offers reliable access to software applications to the end users over the Internet without direct investment in infrastructure and software. SaaS providers utilize resources of internal data centres or rent resources from a public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider in order to serve their customers. Internal hosting can ample cost of administration and maintenance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Prognostic Paradigm for Petrochemical Pipelines Subject to FatigueAbdo Abou Jaoude, Khaled El-TawilThe most important aim for industrialists is the prevention and the evaluation of their products state since non-predicted failure is very expensive in some cases. This can be done mainly by the evaluation of the &#34Remaining Useful Lifetime&#34 (RUL) by the means of prognostic approaches compensating the inconveniences of classical maintenance strategies. A proposed analytic prognostic methodology based on damage … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2013 · 7,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Scheduling for Cloud Reliability using Transportation ProblemS. K. Senthil Kumar, P. BalasubramanieProblem statement: Cloud is purely a dynamic environment and the existing task scheduling algorithms are mostly static and considered various parameters like time, cost, make span, speed, scalability, throughput, resource utilization, scheduling success rate and so on. Available scheduling algorithms are mostly heuristic in nature and more complex, time consuming and does not consider reliability and availability of the cloud … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 23 Aug 2012 · 8,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNetwork Planning and Optimization for Multi-Hop Relay Placement in WiMAX NetworksChitapong Wechtaison, Chutima PrommakProblem statement: Wireless access networks can provide high level of quality of services at low network installation budget if the networks are planned by using proper methods. In this research, we developed efficient network planning methods for Wireless Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) networks in which the multiple hops of relay stations are deployed. Approach: An integer linear programming model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 9 Aug 2012 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExplicit Allocation Strategy with Deadline and Budget Constraint Algorithm in Bag of Tasks GridM. Suresh Kumar, T. PurusothamanProblem statement: This study is for effective scheduling of grid jobs based on economy for space shared resources in Bag of tasks grid. Grid Computing aims in combining the power of heterogeneous, geographically distributed, multi-domain computational resources to provide high performance or high throughput. Approach: Space shared resources are parallel supercomputers and clusters of workstations that provides a great amount … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 7 Jun 2012 · 6,229 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Network Design for Efficient Energy Utilization in Wireless Sensor NetworksChutima Prommak, Sujitra ModhirunProblem statement: This research presents a study of the optimal network design for efficient energy utilization in continuous data-gathering Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We first examine the problem of minimizing the network cost through the minimum number of relay-station installation. Then we further investigate the problem of minimizing the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. Approach: We model the network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Genetic Algorithm for Scheduling n Jobs on a Single Machine with a Stochastic Controllable Processing, Tooling Cost and Earliness-Tardiness PenaltiesMohamed Ali Abdel-Fattah MansourProblem statement: In this research, we addressed the problem of minimizing the earliness-tardiness penalties and manufacturing costs of a single machine with a stochastic controllable processing and tooling cost. Approach: We developed a mathematical non-linear integer programming model and its linearised version to find the optimal solution. We introduced a new genome representation in single machine scheduling literature that evolved … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,587 accessesView PDFCite
