Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParticle Swarm Optimization-Based Routing Protocol for Clustered Heterogeneous Sensor Networks with Mobile SinkR. Sudarmani, K.R. Shankar KumarIn Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) sensor nodes with sensing, computing and communication infrastructure are randomly deployed and organized as clusters. Most of the existing sensor networks focus on homogeneous in which the cluster heads are changed periodically. To improve the lifetime of energy constraint battery powered WSN and to avoid energy sink-hole problem; Clustered Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HSN) are analyzed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2013 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Self-Medication Among Pharmacy StudentsRiham Waisi, Laila Mouslli, Osama Hussein Mohamed Ibrahim, Suleiman Ibrahim SharifTo determine the incidence of self-medication among Sharjah university students and the impact of medical knowledge on such practice. A pre-validated questionnaire was distributed to 200 pharmacy students during May, 2012. Data were analyzed using SPSS and results expressed as counts and percentages. The overall response rate was 85% with 98% of respondents being Arabs. Females comprised about 91% of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2012 · 10,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReconfigurable Hardware Architecture for Network Intrusion Detection SystemA. Kaleel Rahuman, G. AthishaIntrusion rule processing in reconfigurable hardware enables intrusion detection and prevention. The use of reconfigurable hardware for network security applications has great strides as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices have provided larger and faster resources. This proposes architecture called “BV-TCAM” is presented, which is implemented for an FPGA-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS). The BV-TCAM architecture combines the Ternary … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 16 Aug 2012 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Policy Based Scheme for Combined Data Security in Mobile Ad hoc NetworksL. Kartheesn, S. K. SrivatsaProblem statement: In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) routing protocols, we require a network-level or link layer security. Since without appropriate security provisions, the MANETs is subjected to attacks like network traffic, replay transmissions, manipulate packet headers and redirect routing messages. In order to address these needs, a policy based network management system that provides the capability to express network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 6 Aug 2012 · 6,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect Of E-Commerce on the Development of the Accounting Information Systems in the Islamic BanksKhalil Mahmoud AL-RefaeeThis research aims to study whether there is an effect of the use of e-commerce on accounting information systems. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to accountants, heads of accounting departments, financial managers in Islamic banks. Then analyzing the results of the questionnaire by using (SPSS), and other statistical methods through descriptive methods The results of the study showed that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 4 Aug 2012 · 8,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractData Relay Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Data Mining ApproachS. Nithyakalyani, S. Suresh KumarProblem statement: Nowadays sensors are very essential for today life to monitor environment where human cannot get involved very often. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are used in many real world applications like environmental monitoring, traffic control, trajectory monitoring. It is more challenging for sensor network to sense and collect a large amount of data which are continuous over time, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 14 Jul 2012 · 7,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCluster Based Data Consistency for Cooperative Caching over Partitionable Mobile Adhoc NetworkP. Kuppusamy, B. KalaavathiProblem statement: Data availability and consistency are foremost issues in Mobile Ad hoc Networks due to the absence of permanent infrastructure. Cooperative caching addresses the data availability issue through coordinating the mobile nodes and sharing the cache copies among them. In the meantime, the mobile node must ensure the staleness of cache copies. The consistency maintenance resolves the staleness of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 10 Jul 2012 · 6,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTuberculoma and Meningitis in a Young Girl: A Case ReportBehroz Ahssan, Shahla AfrasiabianBecause of difficulty in early diagnosis and severe consequences of delay in diagnosis and treatment, tuberculosis meningitis is a serious problem for clinicians. Therefore recognizing rare cases of tuberculosis can improve clinician practice and save patients life in countries with high burden of disease. An 18-year-old girl suffered from fever, headache, illness, arthralgia, myalgia, constipation and weight loss for several … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 May 2012 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWheat Resistance to the Adult Insect of Sunn Pest, Eurigaster Integriceps PutNima Sanaey, Tohid Najafi MirakSunn pest is one of the most serious pests of wheat and barley in Asia, North Africa and Eastern Europe. Using of resistant cultivars is an effective strategy for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In order to identify the resistant wheat to sunn pest, 79 Iranian bread and durum wheat cultivarslines were evaluated for resistance to natural infestations of sunn pest … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2012 · 8,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of MIKE 11 Model Simulated Data for Biochemical and Chemical Oxygen Demands TransportMahdieh Eisakhani, Md. Pauzi Abdullah, Othman Abd Karim, Amirhossein MalakahmadProblem statement: The aim of the study was to model the discharge, biochemical and chemical oxygen demands (BOD and COD) loads in each cross section of Bertam River in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands form the headwater catchment for two major rivers of the lowlands; Pahang River and Perak River. On the other hand, Cameron Highlands is undergoing rapid development … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,691 accessesView PDFCite
