Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEntropyomics as the Blueprint of the Logic of Normal Cell Division and MalignancyKambiz AfrasiabiProblem statement: In this article I propose a blueprint based on one of the most fundamental laws governing the known universe, namely the second law of thermodynamics and I present support for its central role in initiation of mitosis and relationship of the other sub cellular compartments and their organization. Approach: Life is considered to be the most sophisticated antientropy … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 10,377 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Efficiency Measurement of Parallel Production Systems: A Non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis ModelAli Ashrafi, Azmi Bin Jaafar, Mohd Rizam Abu Bakar, Lai Soon LeeProblem statement: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric technique for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of production systems or Decision Making Units (DMU) that have multiple inputs and outputs. Sometimes, DMUs have a parallel structure, in which systems composed of parallel units work individually; the sum of their own inputs/outputs is the input/output of the system. For … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 9,253 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagerial Administration of Farming Machinery for Rice ProductionYosphatrachai Phuangpee, Pradtana YossuckProblem statement: This research was conducted due to an increase of agricultural machinery cost for rice production (46.00%) of farmers in Phichit province. Based on an analysis of cost reduction using the method of John Deere, it was found that this may decrease from 46.00-28.50% of the total cost. Thus, there was a question how to mange the agricultural machinery. … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,831 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensity Based Routing Algorithm for Spare/Dense Topologies in Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc NetworksEssam Natsheh, Khalid BuraggaProblem statement: A Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) operate in environments without infrastructures with an undefined network size. Most routing protocols of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) were studied using open space models where nodes were able to move throughput the entire simulation area. However, a more realistic topology should account for restricted mobility of nodes, such as in an urban city … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,461 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPrediction of the Daily Mean PM10 Concentrations Using Linear ModelsJ. C.M. Pires, F. G. Martins, S. I.V. Sousa et al.The performance of five linear models to predict the daily mean PM10 concentrations was compared. The linear models proposed were: (i) multiple linear regression; (ii) principal component regression; (iii) independent component regression; (iv) quantile regression; and (v) partial least squares regression. The study was based on data from an urban site in Oporto Metropolitan Area and the analysed period was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,132 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEMPIRICAL DETERMINATION OF THE AVERAGE ANNUAL RUNOFF COEFFICIENT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREAGiovanni Grillone, Giorgio Baiamonte, Francesco D’AsaroRunoff estimation in ungauged basin is a challenge for the hydrological engineers and planners. For any hydrological study on an ungauged basin, a methodology has to be appropriately selected for the determination of runoff at its outlet. Several methods have been used to estimate the basin runoff production. In this study the empirical Kennessey method to determine average annual runoff … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Dec 2013 · 8,218 accessesView PDF Cite
