Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Polyethylene in Hot Asphalt MixturesMohammad T. Awwad, Lina ShbeebThe increase in road traffic during the last two decades in combination with an insufficient degree of maintenance due to shortage in funds has caused an accelerated and continuous deterioration of the road network in Jordan. To alleviate this process, several types of measures may be effective, e.g., securing funds for maintenance, improved roadway design, use of better quality of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 14,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractpmonpp: Pthread Monitor PreprocessorJinhua GuoMonitors have become an exceedingly important synchronization mechanism because they are a natural generalization of the object-oriented programming. A monitor construct encapsulates private data with public methods to operate on that data. Although the Pthread library contains dozens of functions for threading and synchronization, it does not provide direct support for the monitor. Students must explicitly provide mutual exclusion around … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Microbial Population in Cheese Whey by UV in a Single and Series Conventional ReactorsA.E. Ghaly, J. P. SinghIn this study, the effectiveness of two conventional UV reactors in series for the online sterilization of cheese whey was compared to that of a single conventional reactor. The single reactor and the two reactor series were tested at eleven flow rates (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60 and 70 mL min-1) and five flow rates, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Stability of the Triangular Lagrangian Equilibrium Points in the Relativistic Restricted Three-Body ProblemM. K. Ahmed, F.A. Abd El-Salam, S.E. Abd El-BarThe restricted three body problem is treated in the framework of the post-Newtonian approximation of general relativity. The equations of motion are linear zed around the libration points L4,5. Locations of the equilibrium points L4,5 are obtained. Existence and stability of these points are investigated. The relativistic correction to the classical mass ratio is determined. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Vertical Dispersion of Pollutants Resulting From Chimneys by Thermosiphon EffectA. O.M. Mahmoud, J. Zinoubi, R. B. Maad, A. BelghithThe dispersion of pollutants, resulting from industrial chimneys, in the surrounding atmosphere made the interest in realizing emitting conditions appears. It also encourages the vertical dispersion of these pollutants. At a given wind velocity, the height of this dispersion is essentially a function of the thermal power and the flow rate at the chimney exit. To improve these qualities, we … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNano TiO2 Deposited on Crude Mineral and the Photoactivity to the Degradation of ChloroformHaiyan Song, Hongfu Jiang, Xingqing Liu, Guangyao MengSupported TiO2 catalysts have increasingly attracted intention in recent years because of their potential application to photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water and air. In this work, nano TiO2 particles deposited on crude nonmetallic mineral were prepared by a Sol-gel process, the photocatalyst for degradation of chloroform was tested and optimized with respect to TiO2 loading, catalyst dosage and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Fault Tolerant Routing Algorithm for Tree-Hypercube MulticomputerQatawneh MohammadA Connected tree-hypercube with faulty links and/or nodes is called injured tree-hypercube. To enable any non faulty node to communicate with any other non faulty node in an injured tree-hypercube, the information on component failures has to be made available to non faulty nodes to route message around the faulty components. We proposed an adaptive fault tolerant routing algorithm for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Learning under WebCTZ. A. Al-Khanjari, N. S. Kutti, H. A. RamadhanWith the introduction of Web-Based Instruction (WBI) the traditional classroom-based higher education could be made more effective form of instruction. But the studies have shown the negative results[1]. On the other hand the distance education has derived the direct benefit of WBI through extending classroom instruction in online to reach every remote student. However researchers have identified reasons for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,322 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Semantic Cache Management Method in Mobile DatabasesShengfei Shi, Jianzhong Li, Chaokun WangIn mobile database systems, caching is a crucial way to improve the performance because a new query can be partially answered locally when the client is continuously moving around. Semantic caching has been paid much attention in traditional database systems. However, the methods of semantic cache management proposed in those systems are not suitable for mobile computing environment. Moreover, although … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite
