Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJuvenile Court Dispositions in the Deep South: Examining the Concept of Justice by GeographyBret Blackmon, Daphne S. Cain, Michelle LivermoreThe concept of justice by geography suggests that sentencing decisions in the juvenile justice system are influenced by the geographical context of the courts. This study sought to examine this phenomenon by examining rates of harsh juvenile sentencing (dispositions) in 64 parishes (i.e., counties) in the Deep South using parish-level characteristics such as geographic location (urban/suburban vs. rural), race and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2015 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Bio-Char as Flow Modifier and Water Treatment Agent for Sustainable Pavement DesignRenaldo Walters, Shamim A. Begum, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in the deterioration of asphalt's rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This paper investigates merits of bio-char to improve asphalt aging susceptibility by blending one control binder (PG 64-22) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 9,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBit Error Rate Analysis of RS (7, 3) Coded Frequency Shift Keying Using SimulinkT.A. Shanmugasundaram, V. VijayabaskarBit Error Rate is an essential parameter to quantize the effectiveness of transceiver circuits used in low power, low duty cycle sensor nodes. BER can figure out their performance in terms of number of retransmissions, which keeps the node to consume its battery power undesirably rather than conserving it. Forward Error Correction schemes ensure the transceiver circuit to effectively perform … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2015 · 7,047 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXTENDED-RANDOMIZED, EFFICIENT, DISTRIBUTED: A DYNAMIC DETECTION OF CLONE ATTACKS IN STATIC WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKSC. Geetha, M. RamakrishnanA wireless sensor network is a collection of nodes organized in to a cooperative network. Each node consists of processing capability, multiple types of memory, a power source and actuators and sensors. This wireless sensor network is established in hostile and harsh environments like civil and military applications. This network is prone to various attacks. One of the major attack … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 May 2014 · 6,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCING ASPHALT RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR AND AGING SUSCEPTIBILITY USING BIO-CHAR AND NANO-CLAYRenaldo C. Walters, Elham H. Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of UV rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in deterioration of asphalt rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This study investigates the impact of bio-char and nano-clay of asphalt rheological properties. Two nano scale materials were used for this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2014 · 10,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Survey of Intrusion Detection Schemes in Wireless Sensor NetworksMurad A. Rassam, M. A. Maarof, Anazida ZainalWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are currently used in many application areas including military applications, health related applications, control and tracking applications and environment and habitat monitoring applications. The harsh and unattended deployment of these networks along with their resource restrictions makes their security issue very important. Prevention-based security approaches like cryptography, authentication and key management have been used to protect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent and Future Nanotech Applications in the Oil IndustryCocuzza Matteo, Pirri Candido, Rocca Vera, Verga FrancescaProblem statement: Nanotech applications in the oil industry are not completely new: nanoparticles have been successfully used in drilling muds for the past 50 years. Only recently all the other key areas of the oil industry, such as exploration, primary and assisted production, monitoring, refining and distribution, are approaching nanotechnologies as the potential Philosopher's stone for facing critical issues related … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 13 Mar 2012 · 10,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Wireless Sensor Node Supporting Various Powers Supply and Communication MethodsStefan Gruber, Hannes Reinisch, Hartwig Unterassinger et al.Problem statement: This study presents a wireless sensor node dedicated for in-tire pressure and temperature monitoring. Additional features set it apart from the many different systems available on the highly competitive market. State-of-the-art implementations are mounted on the rim of a tire. Here the sensor node will be mounted on the inner liner of the tire. By moving the sensor … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 12 Jan 2012 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Algorithm for Fiber-to-the-Home Passive Optical Network Automatic Self-restoration Scheme Using Access Control SystemMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Siti Raihan Ahmad MahirProblem statement: Cables that are installed outdoors are subjected to harsh environmental conditions which make break down inevitable. When this happen it will disrupt the services and cause trouble to the users. To overcome this is to provide a means of restoring the network in case of failure. We introduced the Access Control System (ACS) and Customer Access Protection Unit … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 19 Oct 2011 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsistent and Proficient Algorithm for Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor NetworksP. Balamurugan, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: A wireless sensor network is usually deployed in a harsh geographical area to gather data that can be delivered to the remotely located base station. Sensor nodes have irreplaceable energy source, limited computational capability and limited memory. It is a challenge to maximize the use of energy of these sensor nodes to extend the network lifetime. Approach: This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 25 Jul 2011 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
