Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Discovery of Association Paths in Relational Databases Using Software VisualizationHaider Ali RamadhanWe introduce a visual framework for facilitating tasks associated with database maintenance and re-use. The prototype system embodying the framework is presented. The system utilizes various techniques and features of software visualization. The system supports visual displays of the database structure along with various implicit relationships found in it such as associations and path views. Information visualized is automatically extracted … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impacts of Total System Design Factors on Human Performance in Power PlantsA. Azadeh, J. Nouri, I. Mohammad FamThe objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of total system design factors (TSD) on human performance in a power plant. The TSD factors are defined as design factors, which have an impact on the overall performance of the power plants in the context of total human engineering or macroergonomy. The systems being studied are the control rooms … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Stability of a Certain Class of Linear Time-Varying SystemsM. De la SenThis study firstly considers the exponential stability of unforced linear systems of slowly time-varying dynamics. Possible switchings of the system structure to unstable dynamics during certain finite time intervals are admitted. The maintenance of global exponential stability does not necessarily require at most a finite number of switchings in the dynamics while infinitely many switches can also lead to stability. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,935 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Design and Implementation of Parallel Digital Library Management SystemYang Yan, Li Jianzhong, Kan ZhongliangAs the number of documents in digital library grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to store, manage the large amount of documents and finding requested relevant documents by users. Parallel Digital Library management System (PDLS) is used for this purpose. PDLS is a general tool for building and managing digital libraries of all kinds of documents to meet user needs. It … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,284 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGender Differences in Baseline Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in the Plasma of Alaskan Sled DogsScott W. Kemp, Arleigh J. Reynolds, Lawrence K. DuffyAngiogenesis and vasculogenesis are two very important processes in the development and maintenance of mammalian health. In sled dogs, the angiogenic role is to supply and support tissue with ample vasculature, thus providing a route of access for the transportation of essential nutrients, including oxygen and the removal of waste in a sustained fashion. VEGF has been shown to be … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractY: A New Component-Based Software Life Cycle ModelLuiz F. CapretzWith the need to produce ever larger and more complex software systems, the use of reusable components has become increasingly imperative. Of the many existing and proposed techniques for software development, it seems clear that component-based software development will be at the forefront of new approaches to the production of software systems and holds the promise of substantially enhancing the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,396 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExergoeconomic Analysis of a Refrigeration CycleDurriye Bilge, Galip TemirThe exergoeconomic theory is applied to a two stage vapour compression refrigeration cycle. An exergy-aided cost analysis, taking into account pressure drops and heat gain/loss for all of the components in the refrigeration system as well as the pipe connections, has been made. Exergoeconomic factors, showing whether the monetary expenditures mostly originate from capital investment and Operating and Maintenance (O&M) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Optimum Numbers of Stages in Vapour Compression Refrigeration SystemsDurriye Bilge, Galip TemirIn this study, cases of single-stage and multi-stage compression have been compared and contrasted through various angles while concentrating on refrigeration systems with 600 kW cooling capacity and working with ammonia. For five different numbers of stages, power consumption, costs of investment, operation and maintenance (O and M), COP and 2nd law efficiencies have been calculated. As the amount of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,688 accessesView PDFCite
