Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Mobile Phones by Elderly: A Study in Malaysia PerspectivesMohd Hairul Nizam Md. Nasir, Hazrina Hassan, Nazean JomhariMobile phone has become essential part of personal and business life crosses all age and gender boundaries. The of mobile phone usage can potentially play a significant role in assisting older people in many ways especially in terms of maintaining social relationship, providing sense of safety and accessibility. However, older people seem to be the neglected user group in the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Organizing Map and Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network Based Data Mining To Envisage Agriculture CultivationE. T. Venkatesh, Dr. P. ThangarajStudy on characteristics of soil, to determine the types of crops suitable for cultivation in a particular region can increase the yield to greater extent, which minimizes the expenditures involved in irrigation and application of fertilizers. With the tested techniques available for calibrating the quality of soil and the crops suitable for cultivation in it, it is possible to determine … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Analysis of A System with Preventive Maintenance by Using the Kolmogorov’s Forward Equations MethodKhaled Moh. El-SaidThis study deals with cost analysis of a two- unit cold standby redundant system with preventive maintenance.The random failure occurs at random times which follow an exponential distribution and also the repair time are assumed to be exponentially distributed. Using the Kolmogorov’s forward equations method. Several reliability characteristics are obtained. The mean time to system failure (MTSF) and the profit … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIrregular Class of Multistage Interconnection Network in Parallel ProcessingSandeep Sharma, K. S. Kahlon, P. K. Bansal, Kawaljeet SinghA major problem in designing a large-scale parallel and distributed system was the construction of an Interconnection Network (IN) to provide inter-processor communication. One of the biggest issues in the development of such a system was the development of an effective architecture and algorithms that have high reliability, give good performance (even in the presence of faults), low cost, low … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response and Postmolt Performance of Laying Hens Molted by Non-Feed Removal MethodsFariborz Khajali, Saied Karimi, M.R. AkhariOne experiment was conducted to evaluate the physiological response and postmolt performance of laying hens subjected to non-feed removal molting programs. One hundred and eighty 78-week-old Hy-line W36 laying hens were distributed among 45 groups of four birds and located in cages so that mean body weight of each cage was very similar. Three adjacent cages were considered as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Preliminary Investigation into the Environmental Awareness of the Omani Public and their Willingness to Protect the EnvironmentSabah A. Abdul-WahabThis study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the present status of environmental awareness of Omani citizens and their willingness to contribute to environmental protection. The focus of the study was to investigate the Omani public’s level of knowledge about general basic and current local and international environmental issues and to find out their environmental attitudes and behaviors towards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccess Weight Replica Consistency Protocol For Large Scale Data GridMohammed Radi, Ali Mamat, M. M. Deris et al.Replication is a well known technique to improve reliability and performance for a Data Grid. Keeping consistent content at all distributed replica is an important subject in Data Grid. Replica consistency protocol using classical propagation method called the radial method suffers from high overhead at the master replica site, while line method suffers from high delay time. In Data Grid … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,301 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNimble Protein Sequence Alignment in Grid (NPSAG)K. Somasundaram, S. RadhakrishnanIn Bio-Informatics application, the analysis of protein sequence is a kind of computation driven science which has rapidly and quickly growing biological data. Also databases used in these applications are heterogeneous in nature and alignment of protein sequence using physical techniques is expensive, slow and results are not always guaranteed/accurate. So this application requires cross-platform, cost-effective and more computing power … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Discrete Time Markov Chain with Correlated Transition ProbabilitiesPeerayuth CharnsethikulThis study presents a computational procedure for analyzing statistics of steady state probabilities in a discrete time Markov chain with correlations among their transition probabilities. The proposed model simply uses the first order Taylor’s series expansion and statistical expected value properties to obtain the resulting linear matrix equations system. Computationally, the bottleneck is O(n4) but can be improved by distributed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Calibration of Frequency Compensation System in Computer-Controlled Patch-Clamp AmplifierJun Xiong, Gang Hu, Anlian QuComputer-controlled patch-clamp amplifier is a digitally controlled analog device used to record the cellular ion channel currents in electrophysiology research. The inherent bandwidth and performance of the headstage is limited by the stray capacitance and distributed capacitance across the feedback resistors. In order to effectively improve the performance of the headstage, the paper advanced a simplified automatic calibration method of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
