Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNonlinear Behavior of Single Piles in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Using Incremental Dynamic AnalysisMohammad Amin Assareh, Behrouz AsgarianThe operation for offshore oil has become an important issue in the recent years. Offshore platforms are some of those structures which are built to withstand environmental and accidental loads during oil exploitation operation. One of the most usual types of these platforms is the Jacket Type Offshore Platform (JTOP) which can be divided into three important parts, which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,305 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Heapify Based Parallel Sorting AlgorithmM. A.A.A. Hija, A. Zabian, S. Qawasmeh, O. H.A.A. HaijaQuick sort is a sorting algorithm whose worst case running time is θ(n2) on an input array of n numbers. It is the best practical for sorting because it has the advantage of sorting in place. Problem statement: Behavior of quick sort is complex, we proposed in-place 2m threads parallel heap sort algorithm which had advantage in sorting in place … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,769 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptical Properties and Kinetic Behavior of Chlorine in Pure Water and Swimming Pool Water using Surface Plasmon Resonance TechniqueW.Y.W. Yusmawati, W. Mahmood Mat YunusAn optical sensor based on surface plasmon resonance phenomenon for detection of chlorine in pure water and swimming pool water is presented. The measurement was carried out at room temperature using Kretschmann surface plasmon resonance technique. When the air medium outside the metal film is changed to chlorine solution, the resonance angle shifted to the higher value. The shift of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,366 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCompressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat Reinforced with Cement ColumnsYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper presents the compressibility of tropical peat reinforced with cylindrical cement columns. When a cement column is installed vertically in peat, its compressibility is reduced because of the hardened skeleton matrix formed by cement particles bonding with adjacent soil particles in the presence of pore water. The effects of the cement column diameter on the compressibility have been investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 7,435 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptical Properties and Sugar Content Determination of Commercial Carbonated Drinks using Surface Plasmon ResonanceW. Y.W. Yusmawati, H. P. Chuah, M. Y.W. MahmoodIn this study, an optical sensor based on Kretschmann SPR technique was used to detect the sugar content in commercial carbonated drinks. Three samples of carbonated drinks labeled as "Coke", "100 Plus" and "F&N Orange" have been chosen for angle scan SPR measurements. All the measurements were carried out at room temperature using He-Ne laser beam (632.8nm, 5mW) as a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 8,786 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFault-tolerant Distributed Systems with Diagnostics AlgorithmsOleg Viktorov, Afif MghawishTo provide consistent actions in distributed systems with faulty nodes the Byzantine agreement protocol (algorithm) is widely used. In case of using message exchange scheme without authentication the Byzantine agreement algorithm leads to agreement if the number of nodes doesn’t exceed 1/3 of the total number. The proposed algorithms based on diagnostics procedures are used to reach an agreement in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 4,844 accessesView PDF Cite
