Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeneralized Statistical Inference for Quantiles of Two-Parameter Gamma DistributionMalwane AnandaGamma distribution is a widely used distribution to analyze data in many disciplines such as hydrology, meteorology, environmental monitoring, lifetime testing and reliability. In this study, we look at the statistical inference for the quantiles of two-parameter gamma distribution. The testing and estimation of gamma quantile are required especially in areas such as flood frequency analysis and life testing.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMicroanatomy and Histochemistry of the Salt Glands of the Kentish Plover, Charadrius alexandrines (Aves, Charadriidae)Bashir M. JarrarProblem statement: Histological and histochemical investigations on the salt glands of birds are very limited. The present study was performed to characterize the microanatomy and histochemistry of the salt glands of the Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrines). Approach: Salt glands of the bird under study were fixed, dehydrated, cleared, impregnated and blocked out by paraffin wax. Paraffin sections were utilized in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRecovery in Distributed Systems from Transient and Permanent FaultsM. Aliouat, Z. AliouatThe recovery mechanism from transient fault in distributed systems has been intensively studied in the past, but to our best knowledge, none of these studies has been devoted to cope together with transient and permanent hard faults. Our study devoted to recovery processes in a distributed environment in case of hard faults like transient or permanent. The recovery mechanism we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,860 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance Improvement and Deadlock Prevention for a Distributed Fault Diagnosis AlgorithmThabit S. MohammedThis research presents an overview to the issue of fault diagnosis in distributed systems and an evaluation study to some of the algorithms proposed in literature for performing distributed fault diagnosis. One algorithm was chosen and adopted for implementation in a simulator for investigation. A strategy for improving the performance of this algorithm and preventing deadlock was proposed in this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRedundancy Schemes for High Availability Computer ClustersChristian K. Bassek, Samuel Pierre, Alejandro QuinteroThe primary goal of computer clusters is to improve computing performances by taking advantage of the parallelism they intrinsically provide. Moreover, their use of redundant hardware components enables them to offer high availability services. In this paper, we present an analytical model for analyzing redundancy schemes and their impact on the cluster’s overall performance. Furthermore, several cluster redundancy techniques are … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse of Root Growth and Root Border Cell Characteristics of Hemerocallis fulva to NaCl StressJinxiu He, Yongxu Qiao et al.Taking three Hemerocallis cultivars ('Jingzhouhua', 'Qingchong', 'Changzuizihua') with different salt tolerance as materials, the effects of 0-200 mmol/L NaCl on root morphology and Root Border Cell (RBC) characteristics were investigated using hydroponic and root suspension culture methods and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the root morphology indicators and activity of the high-salt-tolerant 'Jingzhouhua' decreased less than … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 27 Oct 2026 · 80 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferences in the Response of Diploid and Tetraploid Anthurium andraeanum Seedling Roots to Salt StressYun Zhang, Yongping Zhang, Yongxu Qiao et al.To investigate the effects of salt stress on the growth, development, and endogenous hormone content of roots in diploid and tetraploid seedlings of Anthurium andraeanum, the enhanced salt tolerance was elucidated. The seedlings of A. andraeanum 'Pink champion' were placed at NaCl concentrations of 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mmol·L⁻¹. The results indicated that NaCl stress can reduce leaf … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 29 Jan 2026 · 1,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCadmium Stress Responses in Medicinal and Oilseed Plants: Safflower as a Promising Candidate for Soil Cadmium RemediationChristos Kikis, Giorgos Thalassinos, Vasileios AntoniadisThis study investigated the growth responses of five economically important plants—chamomile (Matricaria recutita), oregano (Origanum vulgare), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), sage (Salvia officinalis), and wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) exposed to increasing Cd levels. Over 60 days, plants were subjected to Cd concentrations of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg per pot. Growth parameters and Cd accumulation were then assessed.
