Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupporting Tools to Simplify the Navigation Process over the WebChabane Khentout, Mahieddine Djoudi, Lamri DouidiWe Navigation through the Web has problems of positioning and space-temporal reference marks. Therefore, it’s necessary to design some computer-aided tools to help the user to position himself in space and time during a navigation session. The user is provided with a map of visited sites, thus giving an explicit representation of virtual space. Various levels of visualization are set … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of A New, Rapid, Amperometric Immunosensor for the Detection of Low Concentrations of Bacteria Part I: Design of the Detection System and ApplicationsEric Carnes, Ebtisam WilkinsA portable, flow-through amperometric immunoassay system utilizing a newly designed immunosensor has been developed for the detection of bacteria. A sandwich scheme of immunoassay involving two stages of immunoreaction was employed using Escherichia coli as a model. E. coli antibodies were immobilized on Toray carbon paper to create a disposable immunofiltration membrane. Detection of the bacteria was achieved through the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Management System Audit and Implementation in Educational BuildingsJ. Nouri, A. R. Karbasi, R. Borgheipour, A. TaheriConcerning the high energy consumption of educational buildings in available study; it is conducted to estimate the energy consumption at the Faculty of Humanities (Building No. 2), Science and Research Campus (SRC) of the Islamic Azad University (IAU), Tehran, Iran. Auditing and implementing the energy management system in the implied building, efforts are finally made to propose managerial solutions towards … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,392 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact Analysis of Irrigation Projects: an Application of Contingent Valuation MethodAnastasios MichailidisWater supply in rural and urban areas is an issue of primary concern, especially in developing countries. The objective of this study is to estimate some socioeconomic and environmental values of three irrigation lakes, constructed at Panagitsa village (Region of Central Macedonia, Prefecture of Pella). The study area is characterized, especially during the summer session, of limited water supply for … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated 3D Particle Field Extraction and Tracking System Using Digital in-line HolographyHesham EldeebDigital holography for 3D particle field extraction and tracking is an active research topic. It has a great application in realizing characterization of micro-scale structures in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with high resolution and accuracy. In-line configuration is studied in this study as the fundamental structure of a digital holography system. Digital holographic approach, not only eliminates wet chemical processing and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInverse Correlations for Multiple Time Series and Gaussian Random Fields and Measures of Their Linear DeterminismR.J. Bhansali, L. IppolitiFor a discrete-time vector linear stationary process, {X(t)}, admitting forward and backward autoregressive representations, the variance matrix of an optimal linear interpolator of X(t), based on a knowledge of {X(t-j), j≠0}, is known to be given by Ri(0)-1 where Ri(0) denotes the inverse variance of the process. Let A=Is-1Ri(0)ˉ1R(0)ˉ1, where R(0) denotes the variance matrix of {X(t)} and Is an … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBDD Path Length Minimization Based on Initial Variable OrderingP. W.C. Prasad, M. Raseen, A. Assi, S. M.N.A. SenanayakeA large variety of problems in digital system design, combinational optimization and verification can be formulated in terms of operations performed on Boolean functions. The time complexity of Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) representing a Boolean function is directly related to the path length of that BDD. In this paper we present a method to generate a BDD with minimum path … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Functionality of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor Compared to that of Foil GaugeBashir Ahmed Tahir, Jalil Ali, Rosly Abdul RahmanTechnology such as Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors are widely accepted in almost all industries. FBG are being investigated for their applicability in other markets such as smart structures. Fiber optic sensors can also be used in many different applications. Fiber optic sensors are available in several types; among them, the Bragg grating sensor is being studied in this research. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,499 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublicly Funded Education and Human Capital in the Presence of a Convex-Concave Education FunctionBinh Tran-Nam, Công Nghê TruongThis study investigates an aggregative optimal growth model in which short-lived individuals obtain their labour skill through education. The process of human capital formation is described by an increasing, convex-concave education function relating the success rate to the educational expenditure per student. The cost of education is publicly funded by an income tax imposed on adult workers. Despite the apparent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 7 Dec 2005 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Experimental Study of Petty Corrupt Behaviour in Small Decision Making ProblemsTakemi FujikawaThis research discusses small decision making problems and petty corruption as their practical applications with a structured economic experiment. One of examples of petty corruption considered includes demands for petty bribes by traffic officials followed by police. We examine that it is caused by subjective underweighting of rare events and its objective probabilities. This literature reports results of an experiment, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 3 Dec 2005 · 8,108 accessesView PDFCite
