Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReservoir Oscillations with Through FlowA.A. KhanThe two-reservoir problem with through flow is a common feature in wastewater treatment plants. The start of the through flow may cause water surface oscillations in the reservoirs and velocity variations in the connecting pipe during the initial unsteady phase that may adversely affect the operation and under certain conditions may cause overtopping of the upstream reservoir. The classical solution … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegionalization Method for Nonlinear Differential Equation Systems In a Cartesian PlanBelaib LekhmissiWe propose a regionalization technique for analyzing nonlinear differential equation systems where coefficients are standard and nonzero. The present work starts with the study of a natural object which was the magic squares providing us with a new way to partition the plan in regions. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Route Re-Construction Method for Associativity Based Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET)Fawaz A.M. Masoud, Said A. Shaar, Ayman Murad, Ghassan KanaanA mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is wireless network composed of mobile nodes that are dynamically and randomly located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used to discover routes between nodes. The primary goal of such an ad-hoc … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship Between Shear Strength and Soil Water Characteristic Curve of an Unsaturated Granitic Residual SoilThamer Ahmed Mohamed, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. Hashim, Bujang B.K. HuatShear strength parameters are crucial for stability analyses of slopes against slope failures and landslides. The three shear strength parameters that are required to define a failure envelope of an unsaturated soil are c’ (apparent cohesion), Φ’ (effective angle of friction) and Φb (shear strength change with change in matric suction). A soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Government Readiness Assessment ModelAhmed Al-Omari, Hussein Al-OmariThis study presents a general framework model for E-Government Readiness Assessment. There are six necessary key factors to implement any E-government initiative worldwide. These factors represent the basic components to be assessed before launching the "e-initiative" to guarantee the right implementation in the right direction. The organization building blocks need to be assessed are: Organizational Readiness, Governance and leadership Readiness, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 8,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding an e-Government e-Trust InfrastructureHussein Al- Omari, Ahmed Al- OmariThis paper presents a Trust Model for e-Government implementation. In the first part of the paper, the trust definition from different points of view (psychology, philosophy, linguistic, sociology, and mathematics) was presented. Most people think that to build trust between the government and its customers or citizens, one must start by implementing IT Security and some kinds of Customer Relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEntrepreneurs Success Factors and Escalation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in MalaysiaRaduan C. Rose, Naresh Kumar, Lim L. YenThis research aims to identify the success factors of founding entrepreneurs in Malaysia contributing to their companies' venture growth. Specifically this study was initiated to examine the relationship between venture growth and the following factors, namely personal initiative, human capital, areas of focus on competency and government support programs. From this research, it has been made clear that a large … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Thermophilic Composting of Crop Residues for Inactivation of Tobacco Mosaic VirusA.E. Ghaly, F. Alkoaik, A. Snow, R. SinghAn effective thermophilic composting bioreactor, in which a homogenous distribution of temperature was maintained at 63-65°C by the addition of a bioavailable carbon and low mixing, was developed. The bioreactor operated on a mixture of tomato plant residues-wood shavings-municipal solid waste compost infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The initial C: N ratio and moisture content of the compost mixture … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Mechanical Characteristics of Inverter-induction Motor Drive SystemHussein Sarhan, Rateb IssaAn inverter-three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor drive system with improved mechanical characteristics is presented. The proposed system provides mechanical characteristics with constant maximum torque or increased maximum torque and reduced slip speed at frequencies below the nominal frequency. The control algorithm is based on the constant volts per hertz principle using two improvement techniques: keeping maximum torque constant or keeping magnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Voxel Colouring Technique in the Volumetric Textures Representation Based on Image LayersBabahenini M. Chaouki, Hemidi Djallel, Djedi NoureddineThis paper presents a method for integrating a technique of reconstruction scene (voxel colouring) starting from images of the reference element of a volumetric texture, this one will be converted in a second phase into a whole of layers (2D images considered as transparent textures), which will be projected and composed successively on surface defined as volumetric grid using the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,638 accessesView PDFCite
