Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSingle-Electron Transistor (SET) Process and Device Simulation Using SYSNOPSYS TCAD ToolsUda Hashim, Amiza RasmiSimulation of semiconductor device fabrication and operation is important to the design and manufacture of integrated circuits because it provides insights into complex phenomena that cannot obtained through experimentation or simple analytic models. Process and device simulation is commonly using for the design of new very large scale integration (VLSI) devices and processes. Simulation programs serves as exploratory tools in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 7,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTCP Optimal Performance in Wireless Networks ApplicationsEmad Qaddoura, Abdelghani Daraiseh, Wesam Al Mobaideen et al.Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) consists of dynamic topology as nodes in the network are mobile, and connected via wireless links. The nodes are grouped in clusters for the purpose of routing. Nodes within the cluster communicate directly. However, nodes communicate outside the cluster through a centralized node that is called a clusterhead. An elected clusterhead is assigned for communication … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of RSA Based Digital Signature AlgorithmsRamzi A. Haraty, A. N. El-Kassar, Bilal ShibaroA digital signature is a mechanism designed to allow secure communication through an insecure medium and can be traced in many applications where privacy is required. A digital signature is an electronic signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document and possibly to ensure that the original … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDFT Based Electrophilicity Index and QSAR study of Phenols as Anti Leukaemia AgentFarhan A. Pasha, Hemant K. Srivastava, Yakoob Beg, Pashupati P. singhDensity Functional reactivity indices based QSAR study of 49 phenol derivatives is presented in this paper. Two different models to describe the anti leukaemia activity of phenols have been made. First QSAR model includes molecular properties like molecular weight (Mw), hardness (η), chemical potential (μ), total energy, and electrophilicity index (ω). Various regression models have been made and regression quality … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Method for Social Scientists to Adapt Instruments From One Culture to Another: The Case of the Job Descriptive IndexRamzi NasserThis study outlined an adaptation procedure for the Job Descriptive Index Subscale of "type of work". The cross-translation or committee translation procedure asks two or more translators to translate a text from source to target language, and then an expert assesses the validity of these translations. Empirically, this method has three or more translators translate the instrument from English to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of the Chi-square Test to Determine Significance of Cumulative Antibiogram DataRocco J. Perla, James CarifioAn important function of a hospital’s Infectious Disease and Pharmacy programs is to review and compare the most recent antibiogram with that of the previous year to determine if significant changes in antibiotic susceptibility results are noted and to communicate this information and its consequences to the medical staff. However, there are currently no formal analytical (decision-making) models in use … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Diagnosis on Discrete Event SystemsSihem Kechida, Nasr Eddine DebbacheThe modern technology advances to a point where it is possible and extensively desirable to improve reliability and the technical process safety. This is achieved by computer implanted FDI procedures (Fault Detection and Isolation). However, the malfunction of actuators, sensors and of the process components, as well as erroneous actions of human operators can have some disastrous consequences in high … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarmonics Study and Comparison of Z-source Inverter with Traditional InvertersB. Justus Rabi, R. ArumugamThis paper presents an Impedance Source Inverter for A.C electrical drives. The impedance source inverter employs a unique impedance network cable with inverter main circuit and rectifier. By controlling the shoot-through duty cycle, the z-source inverter system using MOSFETS provide ride-through capability during voltage sags, reduces line harmonics, improves power factor and high reliability, and extends output voltage range.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simple Approach for Building Cooling Load EstimationF. A. Ansari, A. S. Mokhtar, K. A. Abbas, N. M. AdamThe present work is to demonstrate how some very simple problems are made mathematically complex and seemingly tedious due to academic or business compulsions. There are some problems in which mathematical model are developed after making many simplifying assumptions. But, when it comes to solving these models, very sophisticated and complex schemes are applied. For such problems, dual policy does … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroducing Song Form Intelligence into Streaming AudioKevin CurranWhen receiving streaming media over a low bandwidth wireless connection, users can experience not only packet losses but also extended service interruptions. These dropouts can last for as long as 15 sec. During this time no packets are received and if not addressed, these dropped packets cause unacceptable interruptions in the audio stream. A long dropout of this kind may … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,575 accessesView PDFCite
