Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-series Evidence for Export-led Growth Paradigm: A Case Study of ZimbabweCyril A. OgbokorThe study addresses empirically the Export-led Growth Hypothesis (ELGH) using Zimbabwe as a case study. This research work attempts to provide some evidence in this regard by examining the influence of trade on economic growth in the economy and ascertaining if the regressors utilised are good predictors of growth. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method is resorted in order to estimate … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics of Infected Snails and Mated Schistosoma Worms within the Human HostG. Besigye-Bafaki, L. S. LuboobiMale and female worms are independently distributed within a human host each with a Poisson probability distribution mass function. Mating takes place immediately when partners are available. It was found that the mated worm function is non-linear near the origin and becomes almost linear as the worms increase. They increase with increase in the worm load due to aggregation of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,239 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Analysis and Design of the Enhanced Firewall for Intranet SecurityU. K. Singh, A. K. Ramani, N. S. ChaudhariIntranet often employ an Internet firewall to mitigate risks of system penetration, data theft, data destruction and other security breaches. Conventional Internet firewalls impose an overly simple inside vs. outside model of security that is incompatible with many business practices that require extending limited trust to external entities. Additionally, firewall security perimeters are somewhat weak: they provide no protection from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRetrieving Information from the Invisible Web Using Mobile AgentsFabien-Kenzo Sato, Samuel Pierre, Roch H. GlithoThis study proposes a model of information retrieval on the invisible Web by using the mobile agent paradigm. The developed architecture uses the power of a search engine to provide a list of sites of the invisible Web which are likely to be relevant and launches a dynamic search on these sites, thanks to mobile agents. To compare and experiment … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVHDL Specification Methodology from High-level SpecificationM. Benmohammed, S. MernizDesign complexity has been increasing exponentially this last decade. In order to cope with such an increase and to keep up designers' productivity, higher level specifications were required. Moreover new synthesis systems, starting with a high level specification, have been developed in order to automate and speed up processor design. This study presents a VHDL specification methodology aimed to extend … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Architecture for Improving Location Management in PCS NetworksHaidar Safa, Samuel PierreThis study proposes a new architecture for improving the location management in PCS networks. The proposed architecture employs several HLRs as opposed to one HLR in the IS-41 and GSM models. Indeed, the new architecture associates with each MU two types of HLRs ; a resident HLR that serves the location areas in which the MU often resides and a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
