Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent Approaches for the Prevention of Surgical Site InfectionsSander Florman, Ronald Lee NicholsSurgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of nosocomial infection among surgical patients and are commonly caused by the patients’ own microbial flora. The prevalence of SSI is a major concern because of the associated increase in the incidence of morbidity and mortality, length of hospitalization and cost of care for postoperative patients. Key factors that determine whether … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Acute-phase Reactants, Immunologic Markers and other Clinical and Laboratory Parameters in Patients with Pneumonia and Non-pneumonic Lower Respiratory Tract InfectionsJulio Collazos, María del Mar Martínez, Fernando IzquierdoMore efficacious tools to distinguish pneumonia from other acute lower respiratory tract infections (OALRTI) in facilities where radiologic studies are not easily or rapidly available are desirable to select the patients who should undergo chest radiographs, to avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency wards of hospitals and to optimize health resources. To this end we analyzed the relevance of many … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Social Capital on Adoption of Rural Development Programs by Farmers in the Caspian Sea Region of IranA. Ahmadi Firouzjaie, H. Sadighi, M.A. MohammadiThe main purpose of this study was to measure social capital (consisting of structural and cognitive) of mainly rice producing farmers in the Caspian See region of Iran. The secondary purpose was to determine the influence of farmers' social capital on adoption of Rural Development Programs (RDPs). This was a descriptive-correlation and a causal-comparative survey study. The population of this … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Wear Map for the Sliding and Rotational Wear behavior of ShaftsAl-mahasne Mayas MohammadThis study was an attempt to study the wear calculation method for rotating shaft in the friction couple type shaft-cuff in conditions of oiling in high dusty environment. The size and quantity of abrasive particles that go into the clearance between friction surfaces, definition of the pressure including the load in conjugate that is given by the cuff spring as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Call Admission Control in WCDMA Systems with Mobility based Interference Margin ReservationS. Malarkkan, V. C. RavichandranThis study presents performance of call admission control and resource reservation schemes based on the mobility of the users in WCDMA cellular systems. In order to guarantee the handoff dropping probability, the mobility of the user is predicted based on a realistic mobility model. The mobility prediction scheme used in this study is used to estimate the set of candidate … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,384 accessesView PDFCite

SindiThe objective of this study was to present a new software tool assists in enhancing E-learning approach. The presented system is called Instructor- Student Software Package (ISSP). The proposed ISSP contains three main modules: firstly, the lecturing module which is designed to help instructor create lecture notes. Secondly, examination module which is designed to help instructor creates exams available over … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarmonic Elimination of Inverters using Blind Signal SeparationB. Justus Rabi, R. ArumugamHarmonics cause major problems in power system due to non linear loads. With the rapid growth in the utilization of the rectifier for critical loads, e.g. In computer or medical equipment the need for high quality uninterruptible power is increasing. The non-linear current drawn by the rectifier loads distort the output of UPS system. Mainly because of output filter impedance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Detection of Computer Communication Networks Using an Expert SystemIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Adanan I. Al RabiaThe main objective of this study was to build an expert system for assisting the network administrator in his work of management and administration of the computer communication network. Theory of operation of the proposed expert system depends on using a time series model capable of forecasting the various performance parameters as: delay, utilization and collision frequency. When the expert … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,125 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Traffic Flow and Management at Un-signalized, Signalized and Roundabout Road IntersectionsR. Kakooza, L.S. Luboobi, J.Y.T. MugishaTraffic congestion continues to hinder economic and social development and also has a negative impact on the environment. A simple mathematical model is used to analyze the different types of road intersections in terms of their Performance in relation to managing traffic congestion and to establish the condition for stability of the road intersections after sufficiently longer periods of time … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,611 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Advance Approach to Evaluate the Performance of the TCP NetworksIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Farouq Al TaweelIn this study, we present a new approach for estimating the performance of the TCP network depending on a mathematical formula which converts the conceptual performance parameter to a valuable one. With respect to TCP network performance, we consider the Random Early Detection (RED) and RED-Based algorithms where both RED and RED-Based follow the Active Queue Management (AQM) approach in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,522 accessesView PDFCite
