Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCash Holdings, Use of Debt and Dividend Structure of Family FirmsElena Smirnova, Sirousse Tabriztchi, Cary LangeIn this study we examine the relation between firm’s financial structure and family ownership. We develop a theoretical model of the precautionary cash holdings. Our empirical results show that the fraction of a company’s shares that are held by the founding family members or their descendants influences the use of cash and equivalents, dividend policy and debt structure of a … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 2 May 2015 · 6,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Dynamic Simulation of a Combined System Integration Concentrating Photovoltaic/Thermal Solar Collectors and Organic Rankine CycleFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Maria Vicidomini et al.This study presents the design of a novel ultra-high efficient solar power system. The system is equipped with a concentrating PhotoVoltaic/Thermal (CPVT) solar collectors bottomed by an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The basic idea is to use a high temperature CPVT device producing simultaneously electricity and hot diathermic oil. Then, this hot fluid is used to supply heat to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2015 · 8,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic Batch Mode Heuristic Algorithm for Mapping Independent Tasks in Computational GridR. Vijayalakshmi, V. VasudevanGrid computing plays an important role in solving large-scale computational problems in a high performance computing environment. Scheduling of tasks to efficient and best suitable resource is one of the most challenging phase in grid computing systems. Grid environment reveals several challenges in efficient scheduling of complex applications because of its heterogeneity, dynamic behavior and shared resources. Scheduling of independent … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 22 Sep 2014 · 7,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATIONS OF TOTAL MASS AND ENERGY OF THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSEDimitar ValevThe recent astronomical observations indicate that the expanding universe is homogeneous, isotropic and asymptotically flat. The Euclidean geometry of the universe enables to determine the total gravitational and kinetic energy of the universe by Newtonian gravity in a flat space. By means of dimensional analysis, we have found the mass of the observable universe close to the Hoyle-Carvalho formula M∼c3/(GH). … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2014 · 17,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA LOAD BALANCING MODEL USING FIREFLY ALGORITHM IN CLOUD COMPUTINGA. Paulin Florence, V. ShanthiCloud computing is a model that points at streamlining the on-demand provisioning of software, hardware and data as services and providing end-users with flexible and scalable services accessible through the Internet. The main objective of the proposed approach is to maximize the resource utilization and provide a good balanced load among all the resources in cloud servers. Initially, a load … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 15 Feb 2014 · 8,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIC PLANNING AT PT. VENTURIUM SYSTEMLola Oktavia, Ford Lumban GaolPT. Venturium System Indonesia is a company engaged in IT solutions which serves IT solution for their customers from banking firms in Indonesia. This purpose of this research is to develop a Strategic IT planning for PT. Venturium System Indonesia in accordance with the strategic plan.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Energy Efficient Passive Clustering Mobility in Wireless Sensor NetworksAouad Siham, Maach Abdelillah, El Ganami DrissWireless sensor networks have a wide applicability and increase deployment in the near future. In most of those applications, the network is composed of an important number of nodes deployed in an extensive area in which not all nodes are directly connected and based on clustering techniques. The Clustering can considerably reduce transmission overhead during flooding. In fact, by using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2013 · 6,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Parametric Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle Powered by Solar EnergyFrancesco Calise, Claudio Capuozzo, Laura VanoliThis study presents the simulation and performance analysis of a regenerative and superheated Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). To this scope, anew simulation model has been developed. The model is based on zero-dimensional energy and mass balances for all the components of the system. Shell and tube heat expanders with single shell and double tube pass have been chosen. Pump and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 May 2013 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Formation by Ecological Factors: Critical ReviewSaeed Zeraat Kar, Aydin BerenjianRegolith is the term we give parent material that has been weathered. The regolith consists of weathered bedrock near the surface including the soil layer. In the Iranian soil layer we will find: decayed parent materials, decaying plant material, decaying animal matter (manure) along with vegetation. Results of the present study show us that methods stimulating natural fertility in Iran … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 2 Apr 2013 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParticle Swarm Optimization-Based Routing Protocol for Clustered Heterogeneous Sensor Networks with Mobile SinkR. Sudarmani, K.R. Shankar KumarIn Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) sensor nodes with sensing, computing and communication infrastructure are randomly deployed and organized as clusters. Most of the existing sensor networks focus on homogeneous in which the cluster heads are changed periodically. To improve the lifetime of energy constraint battery powered WSN and to avoid energy sink-hole problem; Clustered Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HSN) are analyzed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2013 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
