Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence, Types and Risk Factors for Malnutrition in Displaced Sudanese ChildrenNuha Mamoun, Susan Homedia, Mustafa Mabyou et al.The nutritional status of 327 under-five children living in Mayoo displacement camp, Khartoum, Sudan, was assessed during May- August 2004. Risk factors for protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) were also studied. According to WHO criteria, a total of 186 (56.1%) children had malnutrition, of these 101(30.1%), 43 (13.1%) and 42 (12.8%) were mildly, moderately and severely malnourished respectively. According to Welcome classification, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,674 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 · 6,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Proposed Adaptable Quality Model for Software Quality AssuranceSouheil Khaddaj, Gerard HorganMany of the early quality models have followed a hierarchical approach in which a set of factors that affect quality are defined, with little scope for expansion. More recent models have been developed that follow a 'Define your own' approach with locally tailored factors. The aim of this study is to present a new model to software quality assurance which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,893 accessesView PDFCite

The present study primary investigated how affects the storage style, manufacturing qualification, shelf life and food safety concept, advertisement effect on consuming, natural and fortificated foods … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fast Approximate String Searching AlgorithmMahmoud Mhashi, Adnan Rawashdeh, Awni HammouriIn both approximate and exact string searching algorithms, the shift distance at the skipping step plays a major role in the performance of string matching algorithms. A new algorithm called the Modified Character-Weight Algorithm (MWA) has been developed to test the effect of the shift distance on the performance of approximate string matching. An experiment was performed comparing the performance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type I and Dranulysin as Immunological Markers in Congestive Heart FailureSimone de Lima e Silva Deo, Maria Do Carmo Valente De Crasto, Alda Maria Da-Cruz et al.Previous studies have shown that circulating levels of cytokines are increased in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), resulting in myocardial depression. In this work, we have determined serum levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ by ELISA, detected sTNFR-I by dot ELISA, as well as TNFα, IL-6, IL-10 and granulysin mRNA in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by RT-PCR in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,776 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Beta-hemolytic Streptococcus Carrier State and its Sensitivity to Different Antibiotics among Guidance - School Children in Kerman-IranFatemeh Nabipour, Mohammadali TayarzadehGroup A β-hemolytic streptococcus is the most frequently isolated pathogen in acute pharyngitis and pharingotonsilits Cases in school - aged children. Resulting in dangerous complications such as rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis, diagnosis and treatment of the disease would be of great importance. The aim of this study was determination of the frequency of group A β-hemolytic streptococcus carriers in middle … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNelson and Plosser Revisited: Evidence from Fractional ARIMA ModelsGuglielmo Maria Caporale, Luis A. Gil-AlanaIn this study fractionally integrated ARIMA (ARFIMA) models are estimated using an extended version of Nelson and Plosser[1]’s data set. The analysis employs[11]’s maximum likelihood procedure. Such a parametric approach requires the model to be correctly specified in order for the estimates to be consistent. A model-selection procedure based on diagnostic tests on the residuals, together with several likelihood criteria, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,718 accessesView PDFCite
