Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Modified AODV for Load BalancingAmita Rani, Mayank DaveAODV is a prominent routing protocol for MANET that uses hop count as a path selection metric. However, AODV has no means to convey traffic load on current route. This study focuses on introducing a new metric, Aggregate Interface Queue Length (AIQL), in AODV in order to deal with load balancing issues. Performance evaluation through simulation shows that the modified … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy Do People Use Their Cars: A Case Study In MalaysiaAbdalla Nurdeen Kamba, Riza Atiq O.K. Rahmat, Amiruddin IsmailIn Malaysia, the rapid increase in the use of own transport prompted by inadequate public transport has resulted in increased traffic congestion, accidents, inadequate parking space and air pollution among other evils. This study sought to identify the factors preventing own transport users from shifting to public transport and to develop model shift from car to public transport in order … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Web-based Interactive Real Laboratory for Process Engineering EducationMaher Chaabene, Kamel Mkaouar, Mohamed OualiAn online supervision and control of a laboratory designed for process engineering education was conceived. The principal aim was to minimise the time access of an operator when manipulating laboratory features. Hence, the Time delay due to Internet traffic was overcome by using a Web Embedded Server (WES). A human-computer interactive interface using JAVA Script was developed so as to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Polyethylene in Hot Asphalt MixturesMohammad T. Awwad, Lina ShbeebThe increase in road traffic during the last two decades in combination with an insufficient degree of maintenance due to shortage in funds has caused an accelerated and continuous deterioration of the road network in Jordan. To alleviate this process, several types of measures may be effective, e.g., securing funds for maintenance, improved roadway design, use of better quality of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 14,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Secure Protocol Based on a Sedentary Agent for Mobile Agent EnvironmentsAbdelmorhit E. Rhazi, Samuel Pierre, Hanifa BouchenebThe main challenge when deploying mobile agent environments pertains to security issues concerning mobile agents and their executive platform. This paper proposes a secure protocol which protects mobile agents against attacks from malicious hosts in these environments. Protection is based on the perfect cooperation of a sedentary agent running inside a trusted third host. Results show that the protocol detects … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Price Survey Comparison of Alcoholic Beverages with the Five Basic Food Groups in Paraiba, BrazilCharles I. Abramson, Waylon Howard, Mia Zolna et al.The study of alcohol abuse is relatively new in Brazil. Government estimates suggest that 11.2% of the Brazilian population is alcohol dependent. Problems associated with alcohol dependence include domestic violence, increased risk of traffic accidents, poor self-esteem and weak academic performance. A factor known to correlate with alcohol abuse in 12-17 year olds is to have the money necessary to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,475 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Implementing Calls Prioritization with Different Queuing Disciplines in Mobile Wireless NetworksSalman A. AlQahtani, Nasser-Eddine RikliIt is known that efficient call handling mechanisms can greatly improve cellular network performance. One way to improve system performance of cellular network is to use efficient handover schemes when users changes between cells. This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of originating and handover calls prioritization using different queue size and discipline. Both calls will be queued until they … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,470 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLoad Balancing on Open Networks: A Mobile Agent ApproachR. B. Patel, Neetu AggarwalIn order to disperse the load on a Web server, generally the server cluster is configured to distribute access requests, or mirror servers are distributed geographically on different networks. Use of the Internet and the World-Wide-Web (WWW) has become widespread in recent years and mobile agent technology has proliferated at an equally rapid rate to evenly distribute the requests to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Economic Feasibility of Rebuilding Al-Isra University Tunnel — Mechanical FactorsBassam Al-HelouEconomic feasibility is the cornerstone in the decision making on an economic venture. The more positive the economic signs, the less the risk and foreseen losses. This study throws light on some economic advantages of rebuilding Al-Isra tunnel, especially in terms of shortening the car/bus trip by six kilometers go and fro, and in terms of reducing the trip schedule … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,154 accessesView PDFCite
