Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Probability of 2-within-Consecutive-(2, 2)-out-of-(n, m): F System for Special Values of mE. M.E.L. SayedProblem statements: In this research, the researcher aimed to discuses the system failure probability of the model 2-within-consecutive (2, 2) out of (n, m) system for special values of m. Approach: The basic idea for evaluating the failure probability was the usage of the number of configuration of k (k = 2, 3, 4) parallel columns each contained n components … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterministic Parallel Sorting Algorithm for 2-D Mesh of Connected ComputersHamed Al Rjoub, Arwa Zabian, Ahmad OdatSorting is one of the most important operations in database systems and its efficiency can influences drastically the overall system performance. To accelerate the performance of database systems, parallelism is applied to the execution of the data administration operations. We propose a new deterministic Parallel Sorting Algorithm (DPSA) that improves the performance of Quick sort in sorting an array of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Confinement on the Axial Performance of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Wrapped RC ColumnA. Rajasekaran, P.N. Raghunath, K. SugunaThe combined effect of internal steel ties and external FRP wrap was investigated using nine reinforced concrete columns with varying thickness of external wrap. The load, deflection and lateral expansions were studied at yield state and ultimate state. The results from the experimental investigations were used for performing a multi-variate linear regression analysis incorporating the contribution of tie spacing as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Hill Cipher with Interlacing and IterationV. U.K.. Sastry, N. Ravi ShankarIn this research, we have developed a block cipher by taking a large key matrix of size nxn and a plaintext matrix containing n rows and two columns. In this, the plaintext column vectors, perated by the key matrix are thoroughly interlaced at each stage of the iteration. As a typical example, we have taken the key in the form … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Air and Groundwater Pollution from Continuous High Land Application of Cheese WheyA.E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, N.S. MahmoudExperiments were performed, using eighteen 280 cm deep soil columns with 20 cm inside diameter, to determine the relative amounts of nitrogenous compounds leached and volatilized from soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey during two seasons. Three soils (loamy sand, sandy loam and sandy clay loam) and two cheese whey application rates (560 and 840 kg-N ha-1), that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Environmental and Health Impacts of High Land Application of Cheese WheyA. E. Ghaly, N.S. Mahmoud, D.G. Rushton, F. ArabA laboratory scale experiment was carried out to study the transformation and transport of nitrogenous compounds in soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey (twice the nitrogen requirement for crops). The experimental apparatus consists of 36 soil columns constructed of 20 cm inside diameter PVC pipes. Three types of soil (sandy loam, loam and sandy clay loam) and three … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,155 accessesView PDFCite
