Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPharmacodynamic Comparison of the Carbapenems Against E. coli and Klebsiella spp. Containing Extended spectrum β-lactamasesKathryn J. Eagye, Joseph L. Kuti, David P. NicolauCarbapenems are the treatment of choice for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Ertapenem is a new member of the carbapenem class, and is often grouped with imipenem and meropenem as a recommended treatment for ESBLs. However, new in vitro data question ertapenem’s inclusion as a first line treatment for these bacteria, suggesting that ertapenem has a lower likelihood of obtaining appropriate pharmacodynamic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring the Function Points for Migration Project: A Case StudyK. Mustafa, K. Gowthaman, R. A. KhanIn this study, we extend the study of Function Point Analysis (FPA) for the measurement of source code based migration project using the migration tooling options. FPA is an objective and structured technique to measure software size by quantifying its functionality provided to the user, based on the requirements and logical design. It is noticed that the procedure for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodic Review Probabilistic Multi-Item Inventory System with Zero Lead Time under Constraints and Varying Order CostHala A. FerganyThis study treats the probabilistic safety stock n-items inventory system having varying order cost and zero lead-time subject to two linear constraints. The expected total cost is composed of three components: the average purchase cost; the expected order cost and the expected holding cost. The policy variables in this model are the number of periods Nr* and the optimal maximum … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWavelet Shrinkage in Noise Removal of Hyperspectral Remote Sensing DataHelmi Z.M. Shafri, Paul M. MatherIt is common in hyperspectral remote sensing studies to perform analysis based on derivative spectroscopy. However, this technique is particularly sensitive to noise in the data. Thus, noise removal is essential before any derivative analysis. Various methods of noise removal are described in the literature. A newly developed method based on the wavelet transform appears promising, though there is little … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Chemical Admixtures on the Engineering Properties of Tropical Peat SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Thamer A. Mohamed, Shukri MaailThis research describes a study on the effect of chemical (cement and lime) admixtures on the index and engineering properties (compaction and unconfined strength) of tropical peat soils. The ordinary Portland cement and hydrated lime were used. The amounts cement and lime added to the peat soil sample, as a percentage of the dry soil mass was in the range … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 8,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFirms: A Dynamic Reading of Corporate BehaviourDamien BazinThis study proposes to re-examine a dynamic managerial model. Its aim is to highlight the ambivalence of the dynamic approach regarding a firm’s behavioural strategies for optimisation. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 5,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural System for Packet FilteringM. I. Buhari, M. H. Habaebi, B. M. AliIn this study, we analyzed the use of neural network for packet filtering. The neural network system was designed in eight ways with input to the neural network in the form of either access rules or optimized access rules or binary form of access rules or representing wildcards as 0 and 255, or combination of them. These trained neural networks … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Routing Algorithm for Ad hoc Mobile NetworksHamed S. Al-BdourThis research has examined the issues of routing in multi-hop wireless networks of mobile nodes without the need for any existing network infrastructure or administration. This is called ad hoc. The key point of this research article are selecting routing protocols which adapts quickly to routing changes when host movement is frequent, yet requires little or no overhead during periods … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Real-time Image Processing with a Compact FPGA-based ArchitectureRidha Djemal, Didier Demigny, Rached TourkiThis study have presented a filed programmable gate array implementation of a real time video smoothing algorithm. In comparison with smoothing video techniques like deblocking filters in H.264 or smoothing in JPEG2000, the proposed method is implemented in hardware and its computational cost and complexity are reduced where all pixel processing related to uncompressed video is done on the fly. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of Pressure Pulses in the Jerk Fuel Injection SystemsR. A. Baker, T. FirozComputer software has been developed and described in the present study of thorough parametric analysis and design of a mechanical diesel fuel injection system. The method is based on the numerical solution of one dimensional, unsteady, incompressible flow equations through the fuel pipe along with appropriate initial condition, pump end boundary condition and nozzle end boundary condition. Method of characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
