Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Decentralized Spectral Resource Allocation for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access Downlink of Femto Networks Via Adaptive Gradient Vector Step Size ApproachLamia Benmesbah, Bingo Wing-Kuen Ling, Vikram Chandrasekhar et al.Problem statement: For the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) downlink of a femto network, the resource allocation scheme would aim to maximize the Area Spectral Efficiency (ASE) subject to constraints on the radio resources per transmission interval accessible by each femtocell. Approach: An optimal resource allocation scheme for completely decentralized femtocell deployments leads to a nonlinear optimization problem because … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,637 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Algorithm for Optimal Load Sharing in Grid ComputingD. Ramesh, A. KrishnanProblem statement: Grid Computing is the fast growing industry, which shares the resources in the organization in an effective manner. Resource sharing requires more optimized algorithmic structure, otherwise the waiting time and response time are increased and the resource utilization is reduced. Approach: In order to avoid such reduction in the performances of the grid system, an optimal resource sharing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 5 Nov 2011 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPopulation Growth, Climate Change and Water Scarcity in the Southwestern United StatesAmy c. Fuller, Michael O. HarhayProblem statement: In a simple economic model, water scarcity arises as a result of an imbalance between the supply of and demand for water sources. Distribution in this setting is the source of numerous conflicts globally. Approach: Already, the Southwestern United States (US) suffers from annual drought and long-standing feud over natural water resources. Results: Population growth in the Southwestern … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach in Individual Tree Counting of Nyatoh (Palaquium spp.) Using an Airborne SpectroradiometerKamaruzaman JusoffProblem statement: In Malaysia inadequate data are available to make decisions regarding the sustainable management of Nyatoh (Palaquium spp.). Factual data and estimation of Nyatoh in the lowland dipterocarp forest resources are still lacking or, if available, are not complete, reliable or up to date. The collection and compilation of information and updating of existing data in near real time … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,955 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: This was a Qualitative case study conducted in the Koo-Kaa-Sing village, Koo-Kaa-Sing sub-district, Ka-Sate-Wisai district, Roi Et province, geographically recognized as part of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultilareral Environment Agreements Versus the World Trade Organization SystemSushant Chandra, Aviral DhirendraProblem statement: Since the inception of WTO in 1994, the protection of environment has evolved as a key issue due to recurrent trade transaction occurring among the states. WTO constituted a committee on Trade and Environment in 1995 to evaluate the scope of complementarities between trade liberalization and environmental protection. However Doha Development Agenda of 2001 and Article XX of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectric Power System Under-Voltage Load Shedding Protection Can Become a TrapLuiz Augusto Pereira Fernandes, Alexandre Rocco, Heraldo Silveira Barbuy, Geraldo Caixeta GuimarãesProblem statement: Under-Voltage Load Shedding (UVLS) protection of Electric Power Systems (EPS) is frequently used against Voltage Collapse (VC), however when there is automatic bus voltage regulation with excessive capacitive compensation, the UVLS scheme may not trip. In this case, load shedding must be based in a Voltage Collapse Proximity Indicator (VCPI). Many UVLS procedures may not be appropriate today. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Quality Management Practices Within the Healthcare IndustryWilliam J. Miller, Andrew T. Sumner, Richard H. DeaneProblem Statement: Considerable effort has been devoted over the years by many organizations to adopt quality management practices, but few studies have assessed critical factors that affect quality practices in healthcare organizations. The problem addressed in this study was to assess the critical factors influencing the quality management practices in a single important industry (i.e., healthcare).

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Light-Weight Service Discovery Protocol for Ad Hoc NetworksRanwa Al Mallah, Alejandro QuinteroProblem statement: In mobile ad hoc networks devices do not rely on a fixed infrastructure and thus have to be self-organizing. This gives rise to various challenges to network applications. Existing service discovery protocols fall short of accommodating the complexities of the ad-hoc environment. However, the performance of distributed service discovery architectures that rely on a virtual backbone for locating … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,336 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformation Protection in Academic Campuses: A Scalable FrameworkD. S. Bhilare, A. K. Ramani, S. TanwaniProblem statement: Most institutions recognize the critical role that information security risk management plays in supporting their missions and objectives. Often, institutions do not pay enough attention towards assessing effectiveness of existing security measures. They are also unable to respond to new security threats in reasonable time.
