Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA CLUSTERING-BASED HYBRID REPLICA CONTROL PROTOCOL FOR HIGH AVAILABILITY IN GRID ENVIRONMENTRohaya Latip, Zulaile Mabni, Hamidah Ibrahim et al.In recent years, with the emergence of grid computing system, the number of distributed sites has become very large. When thousands of sites involved in a grid computing system, data replication can improve data availability, communication cost and provide fault-tolerance in the system. In the literature, many replica control protocols have been proposed for managing replicated data. However, in large … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Dec 2014 · 8,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATED AND ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ENDOGENOUS AND EXOGENOUS VARIABLES USING FUZZY SEMI-PARAMETRIC SAMPLE SELECTION MODELL. MuhamadSafiih, A. A. Kamil, M. T. Abu OsmanAn important progress within the last decade in the development of the selectivity model approach to overcome the inconsistent results if the distributional assumptions of the errors terms are made this problem is through the use of semi-parametric method. However, the uncertainties and ambiguities exist in the models, particularly the relationship between the endogenous and exogenous variables. A new framework … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 15 Jul 2014 · 6,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPATIENT SATISFACTION IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CENTERS IN HAIL CITY, SAUDI ARABIAFares AlshammariThe objectives of this study were to explore the factors contributing to patient Satisfaction in Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCCs) in Hail city, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted using an instrument with valid and reliable properties. Six dimensions of patient satisfaction were identified by factor analysis, with adequate to high levels of internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 10 May 2014 · 9,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace Time Covariance of Canonical Quantization of Gravity: A (Formal) General Result and the (Rigorous) Explicit Case of 2+1 Quantum CosmologyT. Christodoulakis, G. O. PapadopoulosyA general classical theorem is presented according to which all invariant relations among the space time metric scalars, when turned into functions on the Phase Space of full Pure Gravity (using the Canonical Equations of motion), be-come weakly vanishing functions of the Quadratic and Linear Constraints. The implication of this result is that (formal) Dirac consistency of the Quantum Operator … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 27 Jan 2014 · 8,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRELIABILITY OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE VERSION OF THE PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN BEHAVIOR SCALES SECOND EDITIONAida Al Awmleh, Alexander WollThe purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the English and German language versions of the behavior rating scale, Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales, Second Edition (PKBS-2) and make a comparison between them. Data were collected from (37) preschool-age children using both the English and German versions. Internal consistency, testing and retesting, alternate [language] versions … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Aug 2013 · 8,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreventing Injuries Via Innovative Investigations: Reviewing Dangerous Driving Research MethodsChris S. Dula, Russell Fox, Ashley Dickson et al.Dangerous driving behavior is particularly difficult to study for many reasons. Researchers must be creative to capture meaningful data, but innovative techniques often meet with problems that might be solved through the broader use by others. The researchers generally lack a central location from which to review and choose from past methods. This article reviews the techniques used to study … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 16 Jul 2012 · 7,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Successive Overrelaxation MethodI. K. YoussefProblem statement: A new variant of the Successive Overrelaxation (SOR) method for solving linear algebraic systems, the KSOR method was introduced. The treatment depends on the assumption that the current component can be used simultaneously in the evaluation in addition to the use the most recent calculated components as in the SOR method. Approach: Using the hidden explicit characterization of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Feb 2012 · 12,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Programmable Gate Arrays based Design, Implementation and Delay Study of Braun's MultipliersMuhammad H. Rais, Mohammed H. Al MijalliProblem statement: Parallel array multipliers are required to achieve high execution speed for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications. Approach: The purpose of this article is to investigate Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) implementation of standard Braun’s multipliers on Spartan-3AN, Virtex-2, Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 FPGAs using Very high speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL).

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of organic wax on bitumen characteristicsArafat Suleiman Yero, Mohd Rosli HaininStatement problem: The study investigated effect of organic wax Sasobit wax (S) on the characteristics of bitumen 80/100-penetration grade. The consistency of bitumen is measure of its susceptibility to temperature change and resistance to flow which affects ability and resistance to deformation of the mixture. Approach: This study reviewed the bitumen modification process in relation to Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Linear Prediction Augmented Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Based Prediction for VBR Video TrafficT. Raghuveera, P. V.S. Kumar, K. S. EaswarakumarProblem statement: Network traffic prediction plays a vital role in the optimal resource allocation and management in computer networks. This study introduces an ARIMA based model augmented by Adaptive Linear Prediction (ALP) for the real time prediction of VBR video traffic. The synergy of the two can successfully address the challenges in traffic prediction such as accuracy in prediction, resource … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,018 accessesView PDFCite
