Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol in Binary Mixture Using Chemometric-Assisted Spectrophotometric MethodsWafaa S. HassanThree methods are presented for simultaneous determination of ibuprofen and paracetamol without previous separation. The first method depends on first derivative UV spectrophotometry, with zero-crossing measurement. The first derivative amplitudes at 230 and 290 nm were selected for the assay of ibuprofen and paracetamol, respectively. The second method depends on first derivative of the ratio-spectra by measurements of the amplitudes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeaching Computer Organization and Architecture Using Simulation and FPGA ApplicationsKasim M. Al-AubidyThis paper presents the design concepts and realization of incorporating micro-operation simulation and FPGA implementation into a teaching tool for computer organization and architecture. This teaching tool helps computer engineering and computer science students to be familiarized practically with computer organization and architecture through the development of their own instruction set, computer programming and interfacing experiments. A two-pass assembler has … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Object Fragmentation and Replication Algorithm In Distributed Database SystemsAzzam Sleit, Wesam AlMobaideen, Samih Al-Areqi, Abdulaziz YahyaThis paper proposes an enhancement for the ADRW algorithm to achieve dynamic fragmentation and object allocation in distributed databases. The algorithm adapts to the changing patterns of object requests with the objective to dynamically adjust the allocation schemes of objects in order to minimize the total servicing cost of all requests. Objects may be replicated or fragmented depending on patterns … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAFLPs in Warmblood Sporting Horses: Genetic Correlation with Height at the WithersV. Sanchez, C. Lemus, A. Inchaustegui et al.The Mexican army produces Warmblood horses for jumping proposes. However, breeding is based on phenotype and stallions are selected stepwise until the end of growth, representing a high care and maintenance cost. In this work using 64 selective primer combinations and AFLP technology we identified specific molecular markers related with height at the withers measurements of Warmblood horses. AFLPs generated … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,755 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTask Load Balancing Strategy for Grid ComputingB. Yagoubi, Y. SlimaniWorkload and resource management are two essential functions provided at the service level of the Grid software infrastructure. To improve the global throughput of these environments, effective and efficient load balancing algorithms are fundamentally important. Most strategies were developed in mind, assuming homogeneous set of resources linked with homogeneous and fast networks. However for computational Grids we must address main … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of the COCOMO Model Parameters Using Genetic Algorithms for NASA Software ProjectsAlaa F. ShetaDefining the project estimated cost, duration and maintenance effort early in the development life cycle is a valuable goal to be achieved for software projects. Many model structures evolved in the literature. These model structures consider modeling software effort as a function of the developed line of code (DLOC). Building such a function helps project managers to accurately allocate the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 9,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDye Removal from Aqueous Solution by using Adsorption on Treated Sugarcane BagasseS. Saiful Azhar, A. Ghaniey Liew, D. Suhardy et al.The use of cheap and ecofriendly adsorbents has been studied as an alternative substitution of activated carbon for the removal dyes from wastewater. Adsorbents prepared from sugarcane baggase-an agro industries waste was successfully used to remove the methyl red from an aqueous solution in a batch reactor. This study investigates the potential use of sugarcane baggase, pretreated with formaldehyde (PCSB) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 9,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Architecture for Improving Location Management in PCS NetworksHaidar Safa, Samuel PierreThis study proposes a new architecture for improving the location management in PCS networks. The proposed architecture employs several HLRs as opposed to one HLR in the IS-41 and GSM models. Indeed, the new architecture associates with each MU two types of HLRs ; a resident HLR that serves the location areas in which the MU often resides and a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Secure Database Encryption SchemeZongkai Yang, Samba Sesay, Jingwen Chen, Du XuThe need to protect database, would be an every growing one especially so in this age of e-commerce. Many conventional database security systems are bugged with holes that can be used by attackers to penetrate the database. No matter what degree of security is put in place, sensitive data in database are still vulnerable to attack. To avoid the risk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
