Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Harmony Search to Vehicle RoutingZong Woo Geem, Kang Seok Lee, Yongjin ParkA phenomenon-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, harmony search, imitating music improvisation process, is introduced and applied to vehicle routing problem, then compared with one of the popular evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithm. The harmony search algorithm conceptualized a group of musicians together trying to search for better state of harmony. This algorithm was applied to a test traffic network composed of one bus … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 12,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Experimental Study of Petty Corrupt Behaviour in Small Decision Making ProblemsTakemi FujikawaThis research discusses small decision making problems and petty corruption as their practical applications with a structured economic experiment. One of examples of petty corruption considered includes demands for petty bribes by traffic officials followed by police. We examine that it is caused by subjective underweighting of rare events and its objective probabilities. This literature reports results of an experiment, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 3 Dec 2005 · 8,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRetrieving Information from the Invisible Web Using Mobile AgentsFabien-Kenzo Sato, Samuel Pierre, Roch H. GlithoThis study proposes a model of information retrieval on the invisible Web by using the mobile agent paradigm. The developed architecture uses the power of a search engine to provide a list of sites of the invisible Web which are likely to be relevant and launches a dynamic search on these sites, thanks to mobile agents. To compare and experiment … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm for Assigning Cells to Switches in Wireless NetworksMatthieu Andr, Gilles Pesant, Samuel PierreThe problem of assigning cells to switches in wireless networks consists of minimizing the total operating cost, that is, the cost of linking cells to switches and the cost of handover from one cell to another, by taking into account factors such as network topology, switch capacity and traffic load in the entire network. Such a problem is well known … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,748 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLandslide Susceptibility Analysis Using Numerical and Neural Network, Near Kedarnath, Uttarakhand, IndiaVinay Kumar Singh, Tariq Anwar Ansari, Vikram Vishal, T.N. SinghThe major concern in hilly regions is the stability of those slopes, which have been proclaimed due to unplanned excavation and uneven blasting during road widening and development activity. These slopes again become more vulnerable under dynamic loading and/or various types of human involvement, heavy rainfall and seismic activity. Failure of these slopes leads to loss of property and human … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2020 · 7,772 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Triple Immune Argument; Surveillance/Evasion/ Senescence and the Increased Incidence of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Observed with AgeManar M. IsmailAML originates from genetic insults of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs/HSCs) that was identified earlier as leukemia stem cells (LSCs). In quiescent state, trafficking immune cells are crucial for eradication of aberrant clones and obtaining balance between proliferation and apoptosis to maintain HSCs pool. Regulatory T-cells shield the HSCs from the inflammatory reactions by suppressing T- and B- cells. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2017 · 7,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Silencing of Septin 1 via Synthetic siRNAs in Schizosaccharomyces pombeSemih Ekimler, Merve Yilmazer, Ercan AricanSeptins are evolutionary conserved GTP-binding proteins and form heterooligomers in cells to interact with cytoskeleton. The main roles of septins in cell are cytokines, membrane interactions, vesicle trafficking and microtubule and actin organization. Non-coding RNAs are key players of gene expression regulation. Small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) belong to non-coding RNAs, are characterized by sequence complementarity to their target mRNAs. siRNAs silence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2017 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Informal Funds Transfer System “Hawala” as a Segment of the Shadow Economy: Social Impact Assessment and Framework for CombatingBakhyt Moldatjaevich Nurgaliyev, Kanat Sametovich Lakbayev, Alexey Vladimirovich Boretsky, Aiman Kudaibergenovna KussainovaThe research considers the problems of social impact assessment in the informal funds transfer systems based on the principles of the ''hawala''. The international experience, leads us to express an opinion that the degree of its public danger through the possibility of financing terrorism, extremism, drug trafficking and transnational organized crime is underestimated. The methods of counteracting these processes by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 22 Nov 2015 · 6,593 accessesView PDFCite
