Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Indoor Positioning System (IPS) using Grid ModelWutjanun Muttitanon, Nitin Kumar Tripathi, Marc SourisTo date many positioning systems are available to determine or track a user's location; three main categories include Global Positioning System (GPS), wide area location system and indoor positioning system. GPS has its limitation (poor signals) in indoor or urban uses, while wide-area location systems are cellular networks dependent. For indoor positioning system many approaches like infrared sensing, radio frequency, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinancial Assessment of a new Soil Heating Technology for Off-season Asparagus ProductionA. Luce, K. Mattas, I. Tzouramani et al.The financial effectiveness of a soil heating system placed under the crowns in each raised bed (UCR) of Asparagus plants (Asparagus officinalis L.) was evaluated and then compared with a traditional greenhouse production system (TPS), a plastic greenhouse without any heating system, in northern Greece. Several appraisal approaches, such as net present value, net present value adjusted for inflation and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Subsurface Appraisal: A Key Link to the Success of Development Projects-Few ExamplesVirendra Singh, Ivan Yemez, Elena Izaguirre, Alvaro RaceroDuring exploration and production phases, the life of a hydrocarbon field can be distinguished by five main stages: Exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment. Of particular interest is the appraisal stage, where billions of dollars are spent across the oil and gas industry on data gathering activities with a view to reducing subsurface uncertainties towards optimizing reservoir development and management. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 13 Jan 2017 · 8,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF JOB AND RESOURCES FOR BETTER SELECTION TO IMPROVE MAKESPAN IN GRID SCHEDULINGKrishnamoorthy Natarajan, Asokan Ramasamy, Sangeetha SubramanianThis study presents the Priority based ranking of jobs and resources to improve the Makespan in the grid scheduling problem. Grid environment’s effectiveness largely depends on scheduler’s effectiveness/efficiency as they act as local resource brokers. The scheduler is responsible to select resources/scheduling jobs so that users/application requirements are met regarding overall execution time (throughput) and the resources use cost. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 4 Jan 2014 · 6,558 accessesView PDFCite
