Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectronic Energies in Delta Doped AlGaAs/GaAs HeterostucturesA. Meftah, H. Ajlani, A. Marzouki et al.The band bending of the potential at the AlGaAs/GaAs interface increases with the electrons concentration in the GaAs channel. This band bending is often ignored in the theoretical calculation of the electronic energies and a linear potential approximation was used. This led to imprecise energy values and occupied subband configurations. We have taken account of the band bending in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Calibration of Frequency Compensation System in Computer-Controlled Patch-Clamp AmplifierJun Xiong, Gang Hu, Anlian QuComputer-controlled patch-clamp amplifier is a digitally controlled analog device used to record the cellular ion channel currents in electrophysiology research. The inherent bandwidth and performance of the headstage is limited by the stray capacitance and distributed capacitance across the feedback resistors. In order to effectively improve the performance of the headstage, the paper advanced a simplified automatic calibration method of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Axisymmetric Thermal Plume between Vertical PlatesJamil Zinoubi, Adel Gammoudi, Taoufik Naffouti et al.This investigation analyses the turbulent structure of a thermal plume created by a heated disk, evolving between vertical plates. The objective of the study was to understand the development mechanisms of this buoyancy driven flow. The analysis of the average and the fluctuating fields of the temperature as well as the flow visualisation show the existence of three different zones. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Based On Color and Textural Features in Microscopic Images of Esophagus TissuesP. S. Hiremath, Y. Humnabad Iranna, Jagadeesh D. PujariThis paper presents a method for feature extraction using color and texture from microscopic images of esophagus tissues obtained from the abnormal regions of human esophagus detected through endoscopy. This method is used for classification of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of esophagus, namely, poorly differentiated SCC, moderately differentiated SCC, and well differentiated SCC.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Flight Control Design for a Turn Coordination System with Parameter UncertaintiesAri Legowo, Hiroshi OkuboThis paper presents a method of robust control system design for aircraft flight control systems with the existence of uncertainty parameters such as stability and control derivatives resulted by parameter identification process using real flight test data. A nonlinear model of aircraft turn coordination system is considered where the problem is to find the optimal controller by using the H∞ … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Switching Mechanism Detection to Reduce Complexity in Multiuser Detection for DS-CDMA SystemsRekha Agarwal, B. V.R. Reddy, K. K. AggarwalWe present a reduced complexity switching mechanism which uses either matched filter or Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC) detector based on channel characteristics. The main criterion of taking PIC detector is that it has less Bit Error Rate (BER) and less processing delay than other nonlinear multiuser detectors. This proposed detector reduces overall complexity while maintaining the same performance as PIC … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFast Iterative Frequential Equalization, Application to Mobile CommunicationsM. T. Taba, S. Femmam, M. BeddaThe Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) is a promising approach in the improvement of the wireless communication systems. Since it makes possible to reduce interferences ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) and CCI (Co-Channel Interference) but its disadvantage is the intensive treatment which reduces the speed of convergence of the algorithm LMS (Least Mean Square) and SMI (Sampling Matrix Inversion). Our approach … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeroin-Induces Differential Protein Expression by Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA)Jessica L. Reynolds, Supriya D. Mahajan, Donald Sykes, Madhavan P.N. NairHeroin use is postulated to act as a cofactor in the neuropathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. Astrocytes, integral components of the CNS, are reported to be susceptible to HIV-1 infection. Upon activation, astrocytes release a number of immunoregulatory products or modulate the expression of a number of proteins that foster the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. However, the role … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Implementing Calls Prioritization with Different Queuing Disciplines in Mobile Wireless NetworksSalman A. AlQahtani, Nasser-Eddine RikliIt is known that efficient call handling mechanisms can greatly improve cellular network performance. One way to improve system performance of cellular network is to use efficient handover schemes when users changes between cells. This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of originating and handover calls prioritization using different queue size and discipline. Both calls will be queued until they … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,470 accessesView PDFCite
