Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTask Load Balancing Strategy for Grid ComputingB. Yagoubi, Y. SlimaniWorkload and resource management are two essential functions provided at the service level of the Grid software infrastructure. To improve the global throughput of these environments, effective and efficient load balancing algorithms are fundamentally important. Most strategies were developed in mind, assuming homogeneous set of resources linked with homogeneous and fast networks. However for computational Grids we must address main … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesigning of PID Controller for Discrete Time Linear System Using Balanced Approach Reduced Order ModelC.S. Ravichandran, S. Subha Rani, T. ManikandanModeling physical systems usually results in complex high-order dynamic models. It is often desirable to approximate these models by simpler models with reduced order. This study deals with the design of discrete time linear system using a balanced approach reduced order model. The reduced order model retains the desired state variable which contains a significant contribution. A PID controller is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiamond Pressing on the Wear Resistance and the State of Heat Treated Alloy Steel SurfacesUbeidulla Al-QawabehaIn manufacturing processes, surfaces and their properties are as important as the bulk properties of the materials. Surface treatment is an important aspect of all manufacturing processes. It has been used to impart certain physical and mechanical properties, such as appearance, corrosion, friction, wear and fatigue resistance. Widely used methods of finishing treatment that create necessary parts with the given … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Some Properties of Quality and Performance in Wood WindowsTuncer Dilik, Barış AltunThe determination of some quality and performance properties of windows, made of tree species used frequently in industrial window manufacturing and the effects of tree species on those properties have been examined. According to the results of the study by considering regular standards, in the air resistance tests, the classification has been determined as follows: those made of Scots pine … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of Forward Expansion Characteristics of Ablated Plasma by Pulsed Ion-Beam Interaction with Al TargetChainarong Buttapeng, Masaru Yazawa, Nobuhiro HaradaThe main objective of the current study was to investigate the behavior of ablation plasma which was produced by irradiating pulsed ion-beam with a solid target of Al thin foil. The technique used here was called a forward expansion---beams irradiation and the ablation plasma expansion are in an opposite direction. A one-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to simulate the dynamic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMagnetic Properties and Electrical Resistivity of Zr4+ Substituted Li-Zn FerriteA. A. Sattar, H. M. El-Sayed, W. R. Agami, A. A. GhaniThe effect of Zr-substitution on the physical and magnetic properties of Li0.3+0.5xZn0.4ZrxFe2.3-1.5xO4 ferrites (x=0.0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.05), prepared by the standard ceramic method, has been studied. It is found that the saturation magnetization increases up to x=0.02 and then it decreases. On the other hand, the initial permeability increased while the Curie temperature remained almost constant with increasing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 8,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of an Adaptive Control for a RobotIraj Hassanzadeh, Abbas Harifi, Farid ArvaniThis research investigates the performance of an adaptive controller for five-bar linkage robot. The proposed controller was entirely independent on the physical specifications of the robot. The controller was examined as the dynamics of the mechanical system varies for various environment conditions, which make it an ambiguous system. In this study, the introduced controller was designed based on the governing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 6,647 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Complications of HIV Disease and Substances of AbuseLisa R. Norman, Anil KumarIn the last decade, it has become increasingly apparent that neuropsychological deficits and impairments are associated with HIV infection. Given that antiretroviral therapies have extended the life expectancy of HIV-infected persons, it becomes critical to focus on the physical and mental health of these patients. Understanding the neuropsychology of HIV disease can provide insight into improving mental health, functional capacity … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntelligent Control for Self-erecting Inverted Pendulum Via Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference SystemA. A. Saifizul, Z. Zainon, N. A.Abu Osman et al.A self-erecting single inverted pendulum (SESIP) is one of typical nonlinear systems. The control scheme running the SESIP consists of two main control loops. Namely, these control loops are swing-up controller and stabilization controller. A swing-up controller of an inverted pendulum system must actuate the pendulum from the stable position. While a stabilization controller must stand the pendulum in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidity and Reliability of the Short Form- 36 Items Questionnaire as a Measure of Quality of Life in Elderly Iranian PopulationSeyed-Reza Eshaghi, Mohammad Arash Ramezani, Armindokht Shahsanaee, Arash PooyaThe utility of The SF-36 questionnaire for evaluation of health related quality of life was not clear in elderly people. The Cross-Sectional study was designed and Iranian version of The SF-36 was administered to random sample of 100 old subjects over 60 years old. Finding showed good internal consistency over 0.7 for all subscales of questionnaire. Convergent validity was obtained … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,963 accessesView PDFCite
