Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManaging Air in Olympic CitiesQing Wen Tian, Peter BrimblecombeThe 21st century Olympic Agenda aims to align itself with the concept of sustainable development and has driven improved environmental quality in host cities, such as the Green Games in Sydney 2000 and the planned Beijing 2008 Games and in London 2012 as the Low Carbon Games. Air quality has long been a concern of Olympic mega-cities, although the air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Modelling of an Industrial Smelter Furnace and Converter Off-gas SystemHelen Shang, Megan Dillabough, Phillip Nelson, Bryan SaltIn smelters, metal ores or concentrates are smelted to reduce a metal oxide to a metal through a series of reactions and processes. In a smelting process, a large amount of off-gas emissions are often generated, which can cause serious environmental and plant hygiene problems if not properly treated. Off-gas systems extract and treat the off-gas emissions, and ensure that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring Spatial ARM (Spatial Association Rule Mining) for Geo-Decision Support SystemRanjana Vyas, Lokesh Kumar Sharma, U. S. TiwaryGeographical Decision Support System (Geo-DSS) is a demanding field, since enormous amount of spatial data have been collected in various applications, ranging form Remote Sensing to GIS, Computer Cartography, Environmental Assessment and Planning. Although some efforts were made to combine spatial mining with Spatial Decision Support System but mostly researchers for spatial database are using a popular data mining approach-Apriori … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Confidence Limits for a Repairable System with Standbys Subject to Switching FailuresJau-Chuan Ke, Ssu-Lang LeeThis paper studies system performance measures and asymptotic confidence limits for the mean time to failure, steady-state availability, steady-state failure frequency of a repairable system which two primary units, two standby units, and one repair facility when switching to standbys may fail. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Swarm-based Distance Vector Routing to Support Multiple Quality of Service (QoS) Metrics in Mobile Adhoc NetworksR. Asokan, A. M. Natarajan, A. NivethaQuality of Service support for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks is a challenging task due to dynamic topology and limited resource. The main purpose of QoS routing is to find a feasible path that has sufficient resources to satisfy the constraints. A fundamental problem in QoS routing is to find a path between a source and destination that satisfies two or more … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring Strategies for Parallel Computing of RS Data Assimilation with SWAP-GAShamim Akhter, Kiyoshi Honda, Yann Chemin, Putchong UthayopasAn agro-hydrological simulation model is useful for agriculture monitoring. One issue in running such model is parameter identification, especially when the target area is large such as provincial or country level. Remote Sensing (RS) provides us with useful information over large area. RS cannot observe input parameters of agro-hydrological models directly. However, a method to estimate input parameters of such … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping QTLs Linked to Physio-Morphological and Plant Production Traits under Drought Stress in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the Target EnvironmentS. Michael Gomez, S. Satheesh Kumar, P. Jeyaprakash et al.Drought stress is a major constraint for rice (Oryza sativa L.) production and yield stability in rainfed ecosystems. Identifying genomic regions (QTLs) contributing in drought resistance will help to develop rice cultivars suitable for water-limiting environments through marker-assisted breeding. QTLs linked to physio-morphological and plant production traits under drought stress in the field were mapped by evaluating 177 F6 recombinant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 14,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Hybrid Mobile Agent Protocol for Wireless Multihop Internet AccessA. Velmurugan, R. RajaramInternet-based Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) is an emerging technology that supports self-organizing mobile networking infrastructures. This is expected to be of great use in commercial applications for the next generation Internet users. A number of technical challenges are faced today due to the heterogeneous, dynamic nature of this hybrid MANET. A new hybrid routing scheme AODV_ALMA is proposed, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecreational Viagra Use and Sexual Risk among Drug Abusing MenDennis G. Fisher, Robert Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Until recently, the Viagra connection to HIV was anchored in older adults. However, CDC investigation showed stability in 50+ HIV diagnoses on the heels of upward trends in risk indicators among men who have sex with men (MSM) and substance abusing populations. Signs have increasingly pointed to recreational drug use among younger populations, to which Viagra is being added to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of an Automatic Blast Furnace through Integrated Simulation ModelingAli Azadeh, S. F. GhaderiThe objective of this study was to develop an integrated simulation model of an automatic blast furnace in a full-scale steelmaking factory. The integrated simulation model introduces a set of optimizing alternatives through sensitivity analysis. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the blast furnace workshop. The workshop is composed two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
