Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCIRCULAR NEIGHBOR REPLICATIONAhmad Shukri Mohd Noor, Nur Farhah Mat Zian, Yazid Md SamanDistributed system rely on replication techniques to tolerate data failure and site disconnection thus ensur-ing flexibility of the system so as to preserve its dependability. The idea of replication is robust however practical implementation of the replication techniques is often rigid that would bring down system's de-pendability and performance. This study intended to evaluate existing techniques and then develop a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Dec 2014 · 8,108 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenerator Dynamic Performance Affected by Parameter’s UncertaintyAkbar Beik Khormizi, Mohammad Reza Aghamohammadi, Mina RezaeeThis study investigates the effect of generator parameters inaccuracy on the transient stability performance of generator and power system. Normally, generator parameters are identified either by calculation based on design specification or by measurements. In both approaches the parameters are obtained with some degree of inaccuracy. Inaccuracy and uncertainty in the obtained parameters can affect the dynamic performance and transient … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 8 Jun 2013 · 6,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of Transient Stability of Power System Using Solid State Circuit BreakerKalai Murugan Amirthalingam, Raja Prabu RamachandranThe aim of this study is to use a solid state circuit breaker for the improvement of transient stability margin. Long distance AC transmission is often subject to stability problems, which limits the transmission capability. Interconnected power systems suffer from weakly damped swings between synchronous generator and sub systems. The development of modern power system has lead to an increasing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 7 Jun 2013 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistone Tail Modifications of H3 and H4 during the Physarum polycephalum Cell CycleMarie-Claire Arnaud, Christophe ThirietProblem statement: Histone modifications are required for chromatin activities and are believed to form an epigenetic code. However, the inheritance of the histone post-translational modifications remains unclear. Approach and Results: The aim of this study was to evaluate the histone modifications throughout the cell cycle and to determine whether the histone marks are transferred to daughter cells. Using the naturally … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 May 2012 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Transmitter for CDM Based 2×2 Multiple Input Multiple Output Channel Sounder for Multipath Delay MeasurementM. Habib Ullah, M. T. Islam, Mandeep Sing et al.Problem statement: Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication system is an innovative solution to improve the bandwidth efficiency by exploiting multipath-richness of the propagation environment. The degree of multipath-richness of the channel will determine the capacity gain attainable by MIMO deployment. Approach: Therefore, it is very important to have accurate knowledge of the propagation environment/radio channel before MIMO implement. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
