Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Algorithms for Flexible Flow-shop SchedulingTzung-Pei Hong, Pei-Ying Huang, Gwoboa Horng, Chan-Lon WangScheduling is an important process widely used in manufacturing, production, management, computer science, and so on. Appropriate scheduling can reduce material handling costs and time. Finding good schedules for given sets of jobs can thus help factory supervisors effectively control job flows and provide solutions for job sequencing. In simple flow shop problems, each machine operation center includes just one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat Transport Modeling in an Aquifer Downgradient a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in ItalyRajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaHeat generation inside municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is due to aerobic and anaerobic exothermic reactions occurring inside the waste. The result of heat generation and transport inside sanitary landfill leads to a temperature field that varies from mesophylic range (optimum at 30-40°C) to thermophylic range (optimum at 50-60°C). Due to high temperatures at the bottom of the landfill, liner … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasmid-mediated Detoxification of Mycotoxin Zearalenone in Pseudomonas Sp. ZEA-1Abdullah D. AltalhiThe Pseudomonas sp. Strain ZEA-1 was isolated from rhizosphere of corn plant by an enrichment technique showed capability of utilizing zearalenone as the sole source of carbon. The bacterium rapidly utilized zearalenone beyond 200 µg/ml and showed prolific growth in a minimal medium containing 100 µg/ml zearalenone source. The course of ZEA degradation as well as the formation of its … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Secure Time-Stamp Based Concurrency Control Protocol For Distributed DatabasesShashi Bhushan, R. B. Patel, Mayank DaveIn distributed database systems the global database is partitioned into a collection of local databases stored at different sites. In this era of growing technology and fast communication media, security has an important role to play. In this paper we presented a secure concurrency control protocol (SCCP) based on the timestamp ordering, which provides concurrency control and maintains security. We … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSSM: Slot Scheduling Mechanisms in a Multihop Wireless Hotspot NetworkMaan Younis AbdullahOur focus was to determine a "slot" time for message forwarding. To this end, we model the system as a "Queue" where the time for packet forwarding is determined by slot, at different slot range for each relaying node. We also introduced one important reason of the poor performance is the close coupling between medium contention and network congestion. Our … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,445 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPre-editing and Recursive-Phrase Composites for a Better English-to-Arabic Machine TranslationMansoor Al-A'aliThis research presents an approach for an English-to-Arabic Machine Translation System based on Building correct grammar and phrase structures first and then automatically deriving Translation Rules for phrase translation. For every English phrase, the grammar is first analysed and then a corresponding Arabic translation is given which would be used by the machine learning system to produce a translation rule … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Proteolytic System of Candida dubliniensisLoaiza-Loeza Salomé, Parra-Ortega Berenice, Bautista-Muñoz Consuelo et al.Proteases of Candida dubliniensis have been scarcely studied, these enzymes may play an important role in nitrogen metabolism, post-translational processing, nutritional stress, dimorphism, virulence, etc. In this work, we report the presence of five different intracellular proteases and one extracellular proteolytic activity. The intracellular proteases are: aminopeptidase ycdAPE, carboxypeptidase ycdCP, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase ycdDAP, proteinases ycdPrA and ycdPrB, and extracellular protease … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of Agarose for Biosorption of Cu(II) In Aqueous SystemAnurag Pandey, Debabrata Bera, Anupam Shukla, Lalitagauri RayThe ability of agarose gel as an adsorbent for Cu(II) ions in aqueous solution was studied. The experiments were done as batch processes. Batch kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, Cu(II) ion concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH. Adsorption equilibrium of agarose gel was reached within 4 h for agarose gel when … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch Note: Predicting MRSA Colonization of the Hospitalized Patient on AdmissionRocco J. Perla, Gail E. Cormier, Eric L. Knutson et al.The primary aim of this brief and exploratory study was to examine the ability of two Infection Control Practitioners in a medium size community hospital to effectively predict the MRSA colonization status of patients on admission compared to a standard MRSA screen in real time using only their clinical judgment and review of selected hospital documents. Sensitivity and specificity results … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRenal and Epididymal Infarctions Associated With Chronic Obstructive Urolithiasis in a Suffolk RamZ. Bani Ismail, R. Al-Rukibat, M.B. Al-ZghoulA 2-year-old, Suffolk ram with ruptured urethra due to complete obstruction by calculi was treated by tube cystostomy. The surgical procedure was successful in bypassing the obstruction; however the patency of the urethra was never restored. Despite surgical and medical treatment, the condition of the ram was deteriorated and the ram was euthanized. Necropsy identified multifocal renal and epididymal infarcts. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,946 accessesView PDFCite
