Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIs the LEADER Initiative a Real Contribution to Rural Development in Underdevelopment Areas in Europe?M. M. Perez-Fra, Rosa Verdugo-Mateshe LEADER Community Initiative is a public programme that adopt on a local initiative approach, targeting rural areas as their field of intervention. The aim of this study is to provide elements for discussion regarding the applicability of such strategies for rural areas, which lag far behind European levels and to gauge the true bearing they have on the diversification … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,429 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProfit Analysis of A Two Unit Cold Standby System with Preventive Maintenance and Random Change in UnitsKhaled M. EL-Said, Mohamed S. EL-SherbenyThis study discusses the reliability of two units cold standby system with single repair. For achieving high reliability of the system, the operative and the standby units are interchanged at random epochs and additional preventive maintenance of operative and the standby units also. After the repair, the unit is sent for inspection to decide whether the repair is satisfactory. In … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroduction to the New Type of Algorithms for Accelerating Convergence of SequenceR. ThukralA collection of new algorithms for accelerating the convergence of sequence of functions was described. The definitions and connections of these new algorithms with the improved functional epsilon algorithms are given. The effectiveness of these new algorithms was examined, namely the α-algorithms, the β-algorithms, the γ-algorithms, the δ-algorithms and the improved functional epsilon algorithms, for approximating solutions of a given … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,358 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCohesion Metrics for Ontology Design and ApplicationHaining Yao, Anthony M. Orme, Letha EtzkornRecently, domain specific ontology development has been driven by research on the Semantic Web. Ontologies have been suggested for use in many application areas targeted by the Semantic Web, such as dynamic web service composition and general web service matching. Fundamental characteristics of these ontologies must be determined in order to effectively make use of them: for example, Sirin, Hendler … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 149,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Class of Region-preserving Space Transformations for Indexing High-dimensional DataRatko Orlandic, Jack LukaszukThis study introduces a class of region preserving space transformation (RPST) schemes for accessing high-dimensional data. The access methods in this class differ with respect to their space-partitioning strategies. The study develops two new static partitioning schemes that can split each dimension of the space within linear space complexity. They also support an effective mechanism for handling skewed data in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,919 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Downward Handoff Latency in a WLAN/GPRS Interworking SystemMandalaparty B.R. Murthy, Fredson A. PhiriThis study presents the performance analysis of a new tight coupling based WLAN/GPRS interworking architecture. The effects of network traffic on downward handoff latency are investigated. The results indicate that increasing WLAN traffic increases the overall downward handoff latency more than increasing GPRS traffic. On the other hand, increasing GPRS traffic results in higher packet buffering requirements at the Serving … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Role of PKCδ in Apoptosis Induction of Mouse ThymocytesC. Lutz-Nicoladoni, T. Letschka, M. Leitges et al.The family of protein kinases C (PKCs) has been implicated in signal transmission leading to apoptosis induction and/or survival. These effects are cell type and tissue dependent. Numerous studies employing phorbol ester, a pleiotropic PKC activator, strongly implicated PKC in apoptosis induction of thymocytes. However, phorbol esters activate both, the conventional PKCs (PKCα, β, γ) as well as the novel … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtracts of Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) Seeds Suppress Stimulated Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in vitroChristiana Winkler, Barbara Wirleitner, Katharaina Schroecksnadel et al.In the traditional medicine in North America and Mexico, pumpkin seeds have been used as an anthelmintic agent and for supportive treatment in functional disorders of the bladder. Also anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective activity of pumpkin seeds is discussed. Three different extracts of pumpkin seeds were prepared and effects were investigated in unstimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and in cells … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethyltert-butyl Ether (MTBE) Degradation by a Microbial ConsortiumS. B. Mortazavi, A. Nikpey, A. Rezaee et al.Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is added to reformulated gasoline to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act directives. Widespread use of MTBE in gasoline has resulted in groundwater contamination. Because of its undesirable effects on drinking water and ecologically harmful effects, MTBE removal has become a public health and environmental concern. In this study, we have isolated a mixed bacterial culture … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Geosta Addition on Cement-stabilised Chicoco Mud of the Niger DeltaOlujide OmotoshoChicoco is a very soft and extremely compressible organic marine mud found extensively and to considerable depths within the saline tidal flat or mangrove swamp of the Niger delta in southern Nigeria. Natural chicoco is highly undesirable, barely able to support a human of average weight but air-dried chicoco has been used successfully by the indigeneous people for shore protection, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
