Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Aware Multiple Constraints Quality of Service Routing Protocol with Dynamic Mobility Prediction for Mobile Ad hoc NetworksSenthilkumar Maruthamuthu, Somasundaram SankaralingamProblem statement: This study presents a source based reactive protocol called "Energy Aware Multiple Constraints QoS Routing Protocol with Dynamic Mobility Prediction (EMQRPDM)" for MANET. It is an enhanced version of our previous protocol called "Power aware multiple QoS constraints routing protocol with mobility prediction (PMQRPMP)". It addresses the issues such as routing, mobility and power management in MANET. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign Dynamic Coupling Measurement of Distributed Object Oriented Software Using Trace EventsS. Babu, R. M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: A common way to define and measure coupling is through structural properties and static code analysis. However, because of polymorphism, dynamic binding and the common presence of unused code in commercial software, the resulting coupling measures are imprecise as they do not perfectly reflect the actual coupling taking place among classes at run-time. For example, when using static … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 6,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Nitrogen Concentration of Corn HybridsPravin Gautam, Dawn Gustafson, Zeno Wicks IIIProblem statement: Though Nitrogen (N) is vital in different physiological and developmental processes in plants and animals, it poses several environmental, nutritional and health problems, if present in excess amounts. Reduction in excess input of N into the soil, thereby reducing environmental problems and consequently nutritional and health problems, can be achieved by balancing their concentration in animal feed. Therefore, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 8,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of IBS Precast Concrete Beam-Column Connections Under Earthquake Effects: A Literature ReviewPatrick Tiong Liq Yee, Azlan Bin Adnan, Abdul Karim Mirasa, Ahmad Baharuddin Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Despite demonstrating rather much benefits comparing to the conventional cast-in-place construction, the acceptance level of precast concrete building is still reportedly low in Malaysia. The implication imposed by stricter seismic design provisions would only worsen the matter. Approach: The main objective of this study was to identify the most appropriate type of beam-column connections to be introduced to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 17,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Reformulations for the Dynamic Quadratic Assignment ProblemSirirat Muenvanichakul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: The Dynamic Quadratic Assignment Problem (DQAP), an NP-hard problem, is outlined and reformulated in two alternative models: Linearized model and logic-based model. Approach: The solution methods for both models based on combinatorial methods (Benders’ Decomposition and Approximate Dynamic Programming) and constraint logic programming, respectively, are proposed. Results: Proofs of model equivalence and solution methodology are presented. Conclusion: Both … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Block-Based Multi-Scale Background Extraction AlgorithmSeyed Hashem Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, Maryam GolchinProblem statement: To extract the moving objects, vision-based surveillance systems subtract the current image from a predefined background image. The efficiency of these systems mainly depends on accuracy of the extracted background image. It should be able to adapt to the changes continuously. In addition, especially in real-time applications the time complexity of this adaptation is a critical matter. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Polypropylene-Clay Composite Using Carbon Nanotubes as Secondary FillerSalawudeen T. Olalekan, Suleyman A. Muyibi, Qasim H. Shah et al.Problem statement: Current researches have shown that the thermoplastic-clay nanocomposites have failed to live up to the earlier predictions albeit they have found some niche area of applications. This research work therefore aimed at studying the effect of carbon nanotube as secondary filler on the mechanical properties of polypropylene-clay nanocomposite. Approach: Hybrid polypropylene-clay nanocomposite was prepared in the presence of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensity Functional Theory Based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Study of 2,5-Bis(1-Aziridinyl)-p-Benzoquinones with Lymphoid LeukemiaBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. EliasProblem statement: QSAR techniques increase the probability of success and reduce time and coast in drug discovery process. The study presented QSAR investigation on 32 bioactive aziridinylbenzoquinones that have activity against lymphoid leukemia. Approach: Molecular descriptors, molecular weight, total energy, hardness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, HOMO and LUMO energies were calculated. Initial geometry optimizations were carried out with the AM1 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecovery of Lead(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zea mays Tassel BiosorptionCaliphs M. Zvinowanda, Jonathan O. Okonkwo, Nana M. Agyei et al.Problem statement: Major adsorbent materials used in heavy metal ion removal from polluted aqueous streams are expensive and difficult to regenerate. In this study, the possibility of using Zea mays tassel, as an alternative low cost biosorbent material to remediate heavy metal pollution was investigated. Lead (II) was used because of its wide application in industrial products and well documented … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,465 accessesView PDFCite
