Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR SIMULTANEOUS COST-RISK REDUCTION IN MULTI-SUPPLIERS JUST-IN-TIME SYSTEMSFaraj El Dabee, Romeo Marian, Yousef AmerIn today’s competitive global markets, Just-in-Time (JIT) is one of the main lean manufacturing approaches. It is used in organizations to improve performance and reduce costs and as a strategic core capability to ensure their market position. However, using JIT tightly couples various functions of the Supply Chain and increases the risk of propagating disruptions through the entire system. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2013 · 7,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRUSTED CLOUD COMPUTING FRAMEWORK FOR HEALTHCARE SECTORMervat Adib Bamiah, Sarfraz Nawaz Brohi, Suriayati Chuprat, Jamalul-lail Ab MananCloud computing is rapidly evolving due to its efficient characteristics such as cost-effectiveness, availability and elasticity. Healthcare organizations and consumers lose control when they outsource their sensitive data and computing resources to a third party Cloud Service Provider (CSP), which may raise security and privacy concerns related to data loss and misuse appealing threats. Lack of consumers’ knowledge about their … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Nov 2013 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffectiveness of Photocatalytic Decolourization of Reactive Red 120 Dye in Textile Effluent Using UV/H2O2Rishi Ananthashankar, Abdel GhalyThe effectiveness of Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) for degradation of reactive red 120 dye in aqueous solutions was tested in this present study. Ten different concentrations of the reactive red 120 dye were exposed to UV alone and a combination of UV with two different concentrations (10 ml/L and 20 ml/L) of H2O2 for 10 different retention times at the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Analysis on Same Filter Different Sources for Selection of Spectral Filters in Optical DemultiplexerMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Hadiguna, Latifah Sarah SupianThe cost effective demultiplexer based on POF is reported in this study. The demultiplexer is fabricated by combining optical splitter with the suitable filter for wavelength selection. Therefore this study we aims to evaluate the effectiveness of selected color filter film for demultiplexer construction where only signals with certain wavelengths are allowed to pass through the demultiplexer while the other … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 18 Jun 2013 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF A SINGLE UNIT SYSTEM WITH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND VARIATION IN DEMANDGulshan Taneja, Reetu MalhotraThe present paper analyses the reliability and cost-benefit for a single unit system with scheduled maintenance and variation in demand. As Change in demand affects the production of system also, hence sometimes, the system needs to be shut down when the number of produces are in excess as compared to those demanded. Revenue in case of both types of up … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 May 2013 · 7,197 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Palmprint Identification based on High Order Zernike MomentR. Gayathri, P. RamamoorthyProblem statement: Hand geometry contains relatively invariant features of an individual. Palmprint recognition is an efficient biometric solution for authentication system. The existence of several hand-based authentication commercial systems indicates the effectiveness of this type of biometric. Approach: We proposed a palmprint verification system using high order Zernike moment that was robust to rotation, translation and occlusion. Zernike moment was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial-Impregnated Discs for Prevention of Intravenous Catheter-Related InfectionsKelly R. Daniels, Christopher R. FreiProblem statement: Healthcare-associated infections are the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSIs) comprise 14% of all healthcare-associated infections and contribute to increased mortality and financial costs. Antimicrobial-impregnated sponge discs to be used surrounding the catheter insertion site are a newer addition to the options available for the prevention of catheter-related infections.
