Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishment, Verification and Application of a Correlation to Predict the Maximum Heat Flux of a Horizontal Closed-Loop Pulsating Heat PipeNiti Kammuang-Lue, Teerasak Hudakorn, Pradit TerdtoonProblem statement: In heat pipe design, it was very important to be sure that the desired heat pipe would not operate in the MHF state. In the case of a vertical CLPHP, the MHF state and maximum heat flux could be predicted by using the correlation, while, in the case of a horizontal CLPHP, there had been no study presented … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormulation and Evaluation of a Novel Needle-Free Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Delivery SystemC. D. Licy, K. Premalatha, Annie Shirwaikar, Arun ShirwaikarProblem statement: Hepatitis B is a major public health problem, killing 1-2 million people annually, despite the introduction of an effective vaccine in 1982. Approximately 400 million persons worldwide have chronic hepatitis B. This is due to problems associated with vaccine delivery, stability and cost. Hence the present challenge in Vaccinology is to develop safer, cheaper and easy-to-deliver forms of … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Oct 2010 · 6,821 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Ultra-Miniaturized Inertial Measurement Unit for Jaw Movement Analysis during Free ChewingZhuohua Lin, Massimiliano Zecca, Salvatore Sessa et al.Problem statement: Jaw movement analysis, as a clinical aid, can provide an objective basis for understanding and diagnosing jaw musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, the use and development of devices for quantitatively measuring and analyzing jaw movement have become more common and popular in the clinic. Many types of jaw tracking devices have been developed, but most of them are still not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLink Stability and Node Energy Conscious Local Route-Repair Scheme for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksAnuradha Banerjee, Paramartha DuttaProblem statement: A mobile ad hoc network is a self-configuring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. As the nodes are free to move randomly, topology of the network may change rapidly and unpredictably. As a result, intermediate nodes in the communication routes tend to lose connection with each other during the communication process. In order to repair a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of the Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Weibull DistributionAl Omari Mohammed Ahmed, Hadeel Salim Al-Kutubi, Noor Akma IbrahimProblem statement: The Weibull distribution has been widely used especially in the modeling of lifetime event data. It provides a statistical model which has a wide variety of applications in many areas, and the main advantage is its ability in the context of lifetime event, to provide reasonably accurate failure analysis and failure forecasts especially with extremely small samples. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBrain Abscess Complicating an Intracranial HemorrhageM.D. Vikramjit Mukherjee, M.D. Maria Elena RuizProblem statement: A brain abscess presenting after an Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) is an extremely rare occurrence. Diagnosis in this setting is difficult, given the absence of key clinical features, such as neurologic deficit and headaches. Since a delay in the diagnosis of a brain abscess leads to poor outcomes, there should be a high index of suspicion for abscess in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Updating Topic Specific Web Search System Using T-GraphAhmed PatelProblem statement: The main goal of a Web crawler is to collect documents that are relevant to a given topic in which the search engine specializes. These topic specific search systems typically take the whole document's content in predicting the importance of an unvisited link. But current research had proven that the document's content pointed to by an unvisited link … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistributed Real Time Architecture for Data Placement in Wireless Sensor NetworksSanjeev Gupta, Mayank DaveProblem statement: Application scenarios of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) create interesting design challenges since the sensor nodes used to collect and communicate data may fail suddenly and unpredictably. The issue of real-time and reliable data delivery is extremely important for taking effective decisions in WSN. Approach: In this study we proposed architecture for reliable and real-time approach for data placement … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGuised in Green: Uncloaking the Myth of World Trade Organization's Trade-Environment HarmonyAlimpan Chatterjee, Deya Bhattacharya, Sonali BanerjeeProblem statement: Over the past decade the World Trade Organization (WTO) has devoted considerable attention to the implementation of policies that work on the interplay of trade and environment by identifying several Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs) that have provisions for trade so that trade liberalization and environmental protection interact positively. However, the strategy of the WTO to bring trade and … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,430 accessesView PDFCite
