Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHot Machining of Hardened Steels with Coated Carbide InsertsM. A. Lajis, A. K.M.N. Amin, A. N.M. Karim et al.Problem statement: The benefits of easier manufacture of hardened steel components can be substantial in terms of reduced machining costs and lead times compared to the traditional route involving machining of the annealed state followed by heat treatment, grinding/EDM and manual finishing. But machinability of hard material through conventional machining is hindered due to excessive wear of the cutting tools … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrengthening Conservation in the Tropics: The Water Canon of Costa RicaFrancisco Benavides, John N. VeenstraProblem statement: The tropics contain primary forests with a significant value for society, as they provide services such as carbon sequestration, soil conservation, bio-prospecting, water storage and others. Competing land uses have not favored conservation during the last several decades and therefore the need for an effective public policy instrument to curtail forest loss is evident. Approach: This article analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordComparison of Diagnostic Tests for Fosfomycin Resistance Detection in Clinically Significant EnterobacteralesSantoshi Maruti Naik, Biranthabail Dhanashree, Himani KotianMultidrug resistance in Enterobacterales has triggered interest in old antibiotics like fosfomycin. Various methods to determine fosfomycin resistance are time-consuming and yield unpredictable results. Hence, the study was undertaken to compare the rapid fosfomycin NP test with the recommended agar dilution test and few other tests. In this cross-sectional, time-bound, prospective study, Enterobacterales (N = 110) were tested for their … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 21 Nov 2025 · 2,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Efficient Algorithm for Mining Spatially Co-located Moving ObjectsG. Manikandan, S. SrinivasanMining co-location patterns from spatial databases may disclose the types of spatial features which are likely located as neighbors’ in space. Accordingly, we present an algorithm previously for mining spatially co-located moving objects using spatial data mining techniques and Prim’s Algorithm. In the previous technique, the scanning of database to mine the spatial co-location patterns took much computational cost. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 2 Mar 2013 · 6,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSIMULATED ANNEALING APPROACH TO COST-BASED MULTI- QUALITY OF SERVICE JOB SCHEDULING IN CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIROMENTMonir Abdullah, Mohamed OthmanCloud computing environments facilitate applications by providing visualized resources that can be provisioned dynamically. The advent of cloud computing as a new model of service provisioning in distributed systems, encourages researchers to investigate its benefits and drawbacks in executing scientific applications such as workflows. One of the fundamental issues in this environment is related to task scheduling. Cloud task scheduling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 18 Mar 2014 · 7,651 accessesView PDFCite
