Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Great Deluge Algorithm with Bi-Decay Rate for Efficient Task Scheduling in Grid ComputingKaiLun Eng, Abdullah Muhammed, Sazlinah Hasan, Mohamad Afendee MohamedTo realise the utmost idea of global collaborative resource sharing with Grid computing, the fundamental scheduling process is playing a critical role. However, scheduling in Grid computing environment is a well-known NP-complete problem. In this study, we propose a new extension of Great Deluge algorithm with an effective diversification strategy for the Grid scheduling problem. The proposed approach, namely BiGD, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2019 · 7,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContributions to the Stirling Engine StudyFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn the process of transforming thermal energy into mechanical work, among the known thermal machines, the Stirling engine is the one that can achieve the highest yield (theoretically up to the maximum yield of the Carnot cycle), although in practice it is reduced by the properties of gas and materials used such as friction coefficient, thermal conductivity, melting point, breaking … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2018 · 10,178 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout Glassy Amorphous Metal InjectionRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria Petrescu, Antonio Apicella et al.The paper aims to present studies on the melt flow, melting and rheology of melting in a super-cooled metastable liquid metal, which is injection molded, of the Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 alloy, which can induce selective crystallization. In this process, high Be-velocities were observed, Cu and Ni atoms that crystallized differently in superficial bulk metallic bulk liquids. It wants to highlight and analyze … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 7,443 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractMorphogenetic and Biochemical Study on University Common Bean CollectionBeibitgul Zhumabaeva, Erika Dzhangalina, Zaure Aytasheva et al.This research has been conducted to reveal the outcomes of rotation of crops in mountain and steppe districts near Almaty. The main morphogenetic characteristics have been investigated for the collection of representatives of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. by using samples from various countries such as Kazakhstan, USA, China, Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey and Russia under different climate and soil … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2017 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of In Vitro Nitrogen Nutrition to Phalaenopsis deliciosa Seedling GrowthChieh Wean Choong, Chin Hao Lim, Zherui Xiong, Siew Mee ChoongIn a continuous effort to conserve Phalaenopsis species, the optimization of a previously designed defined medium was carried out to understand the effect of in vitro nitrogen nutrition on Phalaenopsis deliciosa Rchb.f. In order not to alter the nutrient balance, macronutrient level instead of solely Nitrogen (N) was adjusted. Seedlings were obtained from in vitro germination and randomly inoculated on … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2015 · 7,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreliminary Evaluation of a Permeable Reactive Barrier for Reducing Groundwater Nitrate Transport from a Large Onsite Wastewater SystemCharles Humphrey, Sushama Pradhan, Eban Bean et al.A permeable reactive barrier was installed between a large Onsite Wastewater System (OWS) and a monitoring well located down-gradient from the OWS. Groundwater samples from the well had shown elevated and increasing concentrations of NO3--N (>20 mg L-1 for 2 years). The barrier was constructed using woodchips from various tree species that were placed in a trench excavated to approximately … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 25 Aug 2015 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF PROTEIN CONCENTRATE FROM BLACK COWPEA AND ITS APPLICATIONAnuchita Moongngarm, Sirinapa Sasanam, Watcharee Pinsiri et al.Black cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) is high in protein, which makes it suitable for use as a protein supplement in food products. However, direct application of cowpea flour in food products is limited as it may affect some quality aspects of foods. Protein concentrate and isolate are a form of the protein that is gaining interest in industry. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 29 Nov 2014 · 6,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMODELING ISOSTERIC HEAT OF BANANA FOAM MAT USING NEURAL NETWORK APPROACHPreeda Prakotmak, Hataitep Wongsuwan, Somchart Soponronnarit, Somkiat PrachayawarakornInformation on the adsorption isotherm and the thermodynamic properties can assist in optimizing food processing operations such as drying, packaging and storage in the assessment of the quality of food. In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for modelling the water activity/Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH) of banana foam mat under a range of values of the Experimental … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 13 May 2014 · 6,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM TOFU LIQUID WASTE ON TREATED AGRICULTURAL WASTESBudy Rahmat, Tedi Hartoyo, Yaya SunaryaThe Tofu Liquid Waste (TLW) as a pollution might be processed into biogas which was environmentally friendly and had potential to replace burning wood or oil. However, the waste could not directly be employed as the biogas substrate due to the high nitrogen content which was not suitable to the methanogen microorganism on the biogas digester and did not produce … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
