Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Airbags, New Devices to Save Lives in Earthquakes, Tornados and Similar Disasters Resulting from Building CrashesAmir Hashem Shahidi BonjarEarthquake Airbag (EA) is a new terminology being introduced for the earthquake literature of the world. According to literature surveys, this terminology has not been used previously. Based on many scientific reports, fatality rates are lower in vehicles equipped with airbags than unequipped ones. Accordingly, it was postulated that similar structures can be adopted in buildings to protect people and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,532 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of Oxygen Concentration by Using a Carbonaceous SubstanceMohanad Jadan, Jihad Said AddasiThe control of oxygen concentration in gas flow may be used in chemical industry, heat power engineering, ecology, automobile construction and other industrial branches. This control is realized over a broad range of oxygen concentrations. The control of the oxygen concentration is based on passing of gas flow through a measuring cavity of radio spectrometer and measurement of a magnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Note on the Role of Abstraction and Generality in Software DevelopmentPavol Návrat, Roman FilkornAlthough the evolving field of software engineering introduces many methods and modelling techniques, we conjecture that the concepts of abstraction and generality are among the fundamentals of each such methodology. This study proposed a formal representation of these two concepts, along with a two-dimensional space for the representation of their application. Based on the examples, we further elaborate and discuss … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Analysis of a Smart Multi Purpose Electronic Nose SystemMahmoud Z. Iskandarani, Nidal F. ShilbayehAn electronic nose system for multi application purposes is designed and tested. Our hardware design allows various types of sensors to be used for different applications. The system is capable of being interfaced to both analog and digital instruments with special filtering devices that isolate the system from surrounding signals. The design of the system is distinguished through the use … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Neural Networks in Real-time Face DetectionKevin Curran, Xuelong Li, Neil M. CaughleyAs continual research is being conducted in the area of computer vision, one of the most practical applications under vigorous development is in the construction of a robust real-time face detection system. Successfully constructing a real-time face detection system not only implies a system capable of analyzing video streams, but also naturally leads onto the solution to the problems of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltra Wide Band (UWB) Ad-hoc Networks: Review and TrendsRashid Saeed, Sabira Khatun, Borhanuddin M. Ali, Mohd K. AbduallahShort-range wireless systems have recently gained a lot of attention to provide seamless, multimedia communications around a user-centric concept in so called Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN). Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology presents itself as a good candidate for the Physical Layer (PHY) of WPAN, both for high and low data rate applications. Many ongoing developments of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,063 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 · 6,875 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteraction of a C-terminal Truncated Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein with Plasmid DNA Vaccine Leads to in vitro Assembly of Heterogeneous Virus-like ParticlesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Joanna Poutou, Alexis Mussachio et al.Recently, it has been shown that HCV core proteins (HCcAg) with C-terminal deletions assemble in vitro into virus-like particles (VLPs) in the presence of structured RNA molecules. Results presented in this work showed that a truncated HCcAg variant covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120) with a 32 aa N-terminal fusion peptide (6xHistag-XpressTMepitope) interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine. Interestingly, the buoyant … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Associated with Syringe Sharing Among Users of a Medically Supervised Safer Injecting FacilityEvan Wood, Mark W. Tyndall, Jo-Anne Stoltz et al.Vancouver, Canada recently opened a medically supervised safer injecting facility (SIF) in an effort to reduce HIV and overdose risk and public injection drug use. We sought to examine factors associated with syringe sharing among SIF users. SIF users were randomly recruited into a prospective cohort of SIF users known as the Scientific Evaluation of Supervised Injecting (SEOSI) cohort. We … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,764 accessesView PDFCite
