Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Based AlgorithmT. Karpagam, V. J. Sudhakar, N. Arunsankar, M. DhanasekaranProblem statement: Network topology design problems find application in several real life scenario. Approach: Most designs in the past either optimize for a single criterion like shortest or cost minimization or maximum flow. Results: This study discussed about solving a multi objective network topology design problem for a realistic traffic model specifically in the pipeline transportation. Here flow based algorithm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 22 Dec 2011 · 8,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of the Contact Resistivity Variations of the Screen-Printed Silicon Solar CellShahrul Anizan, Khairymazalee Yusri, Cheow Siu Leong et al.Problem statement: Unmatched combination of emitter and base contact resistance will influence the total performance of the solar cell. To optimize this combination, single crystalline silicon solar cell was analyzed using quasi-one-dimensional transport of electrons and holes in crystalline semiconductor, PC1D. Approach: Effects of the resistance of the emitter and base contact have been investigated with a view to find … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 8,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Enhancement Technique of the Hill Cipher for Effective Cryptographic PurposesA. F.A. Abidin, O. Y. Chuan, M. R.K. AriffinProblem statement: The Hill cipher is the first polygraph cipher which has a few advantages in data encryption. However, it is vulnerable to known plaintext attack. Besides, an invertible key matrix is needed for decryption. It may become problematic since an invertible key matrix does not always exist. Approach: In this study, a robust Hill algorithm (Hill++) has been proposed. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 8,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Modified Gaussian Mixture Model for Color-Texture SegmentationM. Sujaritha, S. AnnaduraiProblem statement: This study presents a new, simple and efficient modified Gaussian mixture model based clustering algorithm for color-texture segmentation. The proposed mixture model introduces a new component density function which incorporates spatial information and the weighting factor for neighborhood effect is fully adaptive to the image content. Approach: It enhances the smoothness towards piecewise-homogeneous segmentation and reduces the edge-blurring … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVoltage Oriented Control Applied to a Grid Connected Photovoltaic System with Maximum Power Point Tracking TechniqueRym Marouani, Abdelkader MamiProblem statement: This study presented a grid connected photovoltaic system with voltage oriented control. This system contains the problem of degradation of photovoltaic power with climatic factors and the problem of synchronization of currents to be injected to the grid. Approach: In order to optimize the photovoltaic energy generation, we developed a new maximum power point tracking algorithm and we … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHypolipidemic Effects of Coenzyme Q10 in Experimentally Induced Hypercholesterolemic Model in Female RatsAtef M. Al-AttarProblem statement: Hyperlipidemia is well known to play a main role in the development of atherosclerosis. It is characterized by abnormally elevated cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the blood. It has been recognized for many years that hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infraction, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 45,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApproximate Maximum Likelihood Commercial Bank Loan Management ModelGodwin Norense Osarumwense AsemotaProblem statement: Loan management is a very complex and yet, a vitally important aspect of any commercial bank operations. The balance sheet position shows the main sources of funds as deposits and shareholders contributions. Approach: In order to operate profitably, remain solvent and consequently grow, a commercial bank needs to properly manage its excess cash to yield returns in the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response of Soybean (Glycine max) to Foliar Application of Methanol Under Different Soil MoisturesFarzad Paknejad, Mojtaba Mirakhori, Majid Jami Al-Ahmadi et al.Problem statement: Many cultivated area are situated in arid zone, where crop photosynthesis and productivity has limited by drought. Thus any treatment, such as methanol, that improve plant water relation and reduce stress impacts, could be benefit. Approach: In order to investigate effects of methanol application on some physiological properties of soybean under low water stress, a factorial experiment was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,150 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Behavior of Tailings Earthen Dam Under Seismic ConditionsDebarghya Chakraborty, Deepankar ChoudhuryProblem statement: A number of tailings earthen dams have failed during past earthquakes. The failure of tailings dam ultimately results into the release of the stored tailings waste deposit in the surrounding locality. To reduce such damage of tailings earthen dam, a detail method of seismic analysis is very much essential which can be used reliably for the design and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,559 accessesView PDFCite
