Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of Forward Expansion Characteristics of Ablated Plasma by Pulsed Ion-Beam Interaction with Al TargetChainarong Buttapeng, Masaru Yazawa, Nobuhiro HaradaThe main objective of the current study was to investigate the behavior of ablation plasma which was produced by irradiating pulsed ion-beam with a solid target of Al thin foil. The technique used here was called a forward expansion---beams irradiation and the ablation plasma expansion are in an opposite direction. A one-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to simulate the dynamic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Temperature Trend In Contaminated Tidal Flat In The Ariake Sea, JapanM. A. Moqsud, Shigenori Hayashi, y. j. Du, Daisuke suetsuguThermal environment of the tidal flat is one of the major parts of the contaminated geo-environment of the Ariake Sea. The activities of marine ecosystem in tidal flats depend strongly on the thermal environment. In order to get a clear idea about the thermal environment of the tidal flats of the Ariake Sea, two study areas, Iida and Higashiyoka tidal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFat Body Cells of Gynes and Queens of Four Species of Fungus Growing Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Attini); Relationship with the VitellogenesisG. C. Roma, M. I. Camargo-Mathias, O. C. BuenoThe morphometric analysis of fat body cells of gynes of Cyphomyrmex rimosus and Mycetarotes parallelus and queens of Acromyrmex disciger and Atta laevigata revealed significant differences in area of parietal and perivisceral trophocytes in all studied species. This was also observed for parietal and perivisceral oenocytes. No differences, however, were observed when the areas of oenocytes of gynes are compared. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Agents in Wireless LAN and Cellular Data NetworksR. B. Patel, V. K. Katiyar, Vishal GargAdvancing technology in wireless communication offers users anytime, anywhere access to information and network resources without restricting them to the fixed network infrastructure. Mobile computing represents a shift in the distributed systems paradigm. The potential of decoupled and disconnected operation, location-dependent computation and communication and powerful portable computing devices gives rise to opportunities for new patterns of distributed computation that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
