Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Evaluation of Distributed Computer Systems Subject to Imperfect Coverage and Dependent Common-Cause FailuresLiudong Xing, Akhilesh ShresthaImperfect coverage (IPC) occurs when a malicious component failure causes extensive damage due to inadequate fault detection, fault location or fault recovery. Common-cause failures (CCF) are multiple dependent component failures within a system due to a shared root cause. Both imperfect coverage and common-cause failures can exist in distributed computer systems and can contribute significantly to the overall system unreliability. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 28 Sep 2006 · 6,840 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScenarios Analysis of Tourism DestinationsAnastasios Michailidis, Fotis ChatzitheodoridisThis study describes a multi-criteria decision-making framework employed to evaluate and rank three tourism destinations, located in the northern and central Greece. Additionally, innovatory elements are the incorporation of differing levels of socioeconomic data (destination image and destination personality) within the decision framework and the direct determination of the PROMETHEE II preference thresholds. The developed methodology provides a user-friendly approach, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutonomic and Dependable Computing: Moving Towards a Model-Driven ApproachYuan S. Dai, Tom Marshall, Xiaohong GuanThe rapidly increasing complexity of computing systems is driving the movement towards autonomic systems that are capable of managing themselves without the need for human intervention. Without autonomic technologies, many conventional systems suffer reliability degradation and compromised security. Autonomic management techniques reverse this trend. This study describes the roles and functions of various autonomic components, and systematically reviews past and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,303 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHyperspectral Remote Sensing of Vegetation Using Red Edge Position TechniquesHelmi Zulhaidi Mohd Shafri, Mohamad Amran Mohd Salleh, Azadeh GhiyamatTwo red edge position (REP) techniques, Linear and Lagrangian, were applied on hyperspectral data acquired from the HyMap sensor for a forested area in Thetford Forest, UK. Red edge positions of different vegetation covers were extracted with the two approaches from the hyperspectral data. Based on the estimated REPs, the Linear and Lagrangian interpolation methods were compared with ground reference … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 17 Jun 2006 · 8,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoftware Process Modeling Using Role and CoordinationAtil Fadila, Ghoul Said, Bounour NoraThe term software process joins all activities that have to be achieved in order to develop software. It has been shown that modeling such processes is difficult and expensive task. It's confirmed by diversity of software processes modeling approaches which are however, not satisfactory. This study deals with an area of growing importance and presents a role- and coordination- based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinancial Assessment of a new Soil Heating Technology for Off-season Asparagus ProductionA. Luce, K. Mattas, I. Tzouramani et al.The financial effectiveness of a soil heating system placed under the crowns in each raised bed (UCR) of Asparagus plants (Asparagus officinalis L.) was evaluated and then compared with a traditional greenhouse production system (TPS), a plastic greenhouse without any heating system, in northern Greece. Several appraisal approaches, such as net present value, net present value adjusted for inflation and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Learning under WebCTZ. A. Al-Khanjari, N. S. Kutti, H. A. RamadhanWith the introduction of Web-Based Instruction (WBI) the traditional classroom-based higher education could be made more effective form of instruction. But the studies have shown the negative results[1]. On the other hand the distance education has derived the direct benefit of WBI through extending classroom instruction in online to reach every remote student. However researchers have identified reasons for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Proposed Adaptable Quality Model for Software Quality AssuranceSouheil Khaddaj, Gerard HorganMany of the early quality models have followed a hierarchical approach in which a set of factors that affect quality are defined, with little scope for expansion. More recent models have been developed that follow a 'Define your own' approach with locally tailored factors. The aim of this study is to present a new model to software quality assurance which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,893 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstructing Longest Lifetime Route in Mobile Ad-hoc NetworksFredrick Mtenzi, Yingyu WanA mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system consisting of mobile hosts connected by wireless links. Every host can move in any direction at any speed and time. This leads to a dynamic topology as hosts move constantly. MANET broadcast messages to each hosts, the transmission of one host can be heard by all hosts in its communication … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 4,941 accessesView PDFCite
