Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFour Dimensional (4-D) BioChemInfoPhysics Models of Cardiac Cellular and Sub-Cellular Vibrations (Oscillations)Kang Cheng, Chang-Hua ZouProblem statement: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) continued to be the leading cause of death. Failure or abnormal cardiac cellular or sub-cellular vibrations (oscillations) could lead failure or abnormal heart beats that could cause CVD. Understanding the mechanisms of the vibrations (oscillations) could help to prevent or to treat the diseases. Scientists have studied the mechanisms for more than 100 years. To … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2009 · 7,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Multidirectional Geographical IP Traceback: Direction Ratio Sampling AlgorithmA. Rajiv Kannan, K. Duraiswamy, K. SangeethaProblem statement: An important and challenging problem is that of tracing DOS/DDOS attack source. IP traceback is the process of identifying the actual source(s) of attack packets, So that the attackers can be held accountable as also in mitigating them, either by isolating the attack sources or by filtering packets for away from the victim. Several IP traceback schemes have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Simulation Tool to Model the Ground Level Concentrations of Green House Gases Emitted by Flaring in Petroleum Production in Kuwait OilfieldsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gas emissions from flaring at well heads. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized as … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Enhancement for Security Mechanism in RoutersKhalid Khanfar, Riyad Khanfar, Walid Al-Ahmad, Eyas El-QawasmehProblem statement: Routers are very important components in any network. They control and organize the in-bound traffic and the out-bound traffic. Controlling a router by an intruder leaves the entire network unsecured. In different studies, Router security was discussed from different aspects such as the routing protocol, the firewall. In this research, we present a new effective security mechanism for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Digital Count-Down Display on Signalized Junction PerformanceM. R. Ibrahim, M. R. Karim, F. A. KidwaiIntersections are bottleneck in the highway networks and critical determinant of system’s capacity and safety. Recently, several countdown timers had been installed at intersections in Kuala Lumpur and some other cities in Malaysia. The function of these timers is to aid drivers to judge the amount of time left for them to get the green signal for moving (starting) their … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,761 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 abstractOn Application of Carhart Atom Pairs to Predict Anticonvulsant ActivityAlan Talevi, Julian J. Prieto, Luis E. Bruno-Blanch, Eduardo CastroAbout 50 million people in the world suffer from epilepsy, especially in childhood, adolescence and old age. Available treatment fails to control epilepsy in up to 30% of affected people. In developing countries, however, the amount of patients that do not receive adequate treatment climbs up to 75%. Moreover, the new generation of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) causes important central and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Modern Appraisal of Ancient Etruscan Herbal PracticesA. P. Harrison, E. M. BartelsIndividuals in antiquity would have been exposed to both cheese and red wine and perhaps as many as 10-40% of the population would have suffered at some time in their life from a migraine headache. Furthermore, individuals in antiquity would also have been exposed to their fair share of childhood stress and therefore would have been predisposed to arthritis in … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
