Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of a Highly Available Home Agent in Mobile NetworksAbdelgadir Tageldin Abdelgadir, Mohiuddin Ahmed, Al-Sakib Khan Pathan et al.Problem statement: Network Mobility as a service is provided by the NEMO protocol in IPv6 environments. NEMO is an extension to MIPv6 and thus inherits the same reliability problems of MIPv6. MIPv6 is not reliable because the Home Agent (HA) is a single point of failure. In order to provide real-time services for MIPv6 networks, reliability should be considered as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 27 Oct 2011 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNatural Sensitizer for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Three Layers of Photoelectrode Thin Films with a Schottky BarrierHo Chang, Mu-Jung Kao, Tien-Li Chen et al.Problem statement: This study combines Au nanoparticles with TiO2 nanoparticles to form a Schottky barrier and applies it to the photoelectrode thin film of Dye-Sensitized Solar cells (DSSCs). Approach: First, commercial TiO2 powder (Degussa P25) was put into the alkaline solution to prepare TiO nanotubes (Tnt) by a hydrothermal process. Tnt were sintered at 550° to obtain TntC550 particles and … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoric Acid Toxicity Trials on the Wood Borer Heterobostrychus aequalis Waterhouse (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae)Daljit Karam Singh, Faizah Abood, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.Abstract: Problem statement: The Heterobostrychus aequalis Waterhouse was a serious pest lumber of timber heveawood. The H. aequalis infest and tunnel along the wood grain, depositing eggs, which concomitantly turn into larvae and reduces the wood starch to a soft powder. The objectives of the study were to establish a suitable method for preservative trials on the wood borer and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 10,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Functions Provided by Malaysian Local Government: User's PerceptionZaherawati Zakaria, Zuriawati Zakaria, Nazni Noordin, Mohd Zool Hilmie Mohamed SawalProblem statement: This research is about users’ perception of environmental functions provided by local government focused on Kedah Local authorities. Recently, the local authorities in Malaysia have been soundly criticized for poor management and they are subjected to daily barrage of questions and complaints directly in the press and tougher higher ups at the state and federal levels. Approach: Due … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing Database Performance through Optimizing Structure Query Language Join StatementOssama K. Muslih, Imad Hasan SalehProblem statement: A join statement is a select statement with more than table in the FROM clause. A join predicate is a predicate in the WHERE clause that combines the columns of two of the tables in the join. Any database gives you the ability to join various tables together through different types of joins, resulting large number of rows … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Malaysian Public Procurement's Prevalent System and its WeaknessesRohana Othman, Husein Zakaria, Norlaili Nordin et al.Problem statement: This study examined the public procurement system as prevalent in the Malaysian government system of administration. Various aspects of public procurement are outlined including types and the processes that entail public procurement. This study also highlighted the weaknesses in the manual public procurement processes that are opened to potential abuse and mismanagement resulting in corruption. This study places … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Predictability of Risk Box Approach by Genetic Programming Method for Bankruptcy PredictionAlireza Bahiraie, Noor Akma bt Ibrahim, A. K.M. AzharProblem statement: Theoretical based data representation is an important tool for model selection and interpretations in bankruptcy analysis since the numerical representation are much less transparent. Some methodological problems concerning financial ratios such as non-proportionality, non-asymetricity, non-scalicity are solved in this study and we presented a complementary technique for empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy risk. Approach: This study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Decision Support Approach for the Sustainable Transfer of Energy Technologies under the Kyoto ProtocolCharikleia Karakosta, Haris Doukas, John PsarrasTheoretically, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was introduced in the Kyoto Protocol at COP-3 in December 1997 and has officially been operational since the year 2000, in order to assist the technology transfer of sustainable energy technologies from developed to developing countries so as to support the sustainable development of the host countries.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Four Wave Mixing (FWM) in Routing and Wavelength AssignmentTan Saw Chin, F.M. Abbou, Ewe Hong TatThe impact of Four-Wave-Mixing (FWM) is investigated using the proposed Assign Shortest Path First (ASPF) algorithm for wavelength assignment in Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA). Results show that ASPF algorithm indulges more FWM crosstalk in high optical channels for all input light power and low input power able to reduce he effect of FWM. The blocking probability due to FWM … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,753 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Processing on the Electrical Properties of Spray-Deposited SnO2:F Thin FilmsShadia J. Ikhmayies, Riyad N. Ahmad-BitarHighly transparent SnO2:F thin films were produced by the Spray Pyrolysis (SP) technique to be used as forcontacts in the home made CdS/CdTe solar cells. Films of thickness 100-200 nm were prepared at substrate temperatures in the range 380-480°C. To improve the electrical properties of the films, annealing in nitrogen atmosphere at 400°C and etching by HNO3 were tried.
