Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Algorithm for Capacitated Multifacility Location ProblemsChansiri Singhtaun, Peerayuth CharnsethikulIn this paper, a squared-Euclidean distance multifacility location problem with inseparable demands under balanced transportation constraints is analyzed. Using calculus to project the problem onto the space of allocation variables, the problem becomes minimizing concave quadratic integer programming problem. The algorithm based on extreme point ranking method combining with logical techniques is developed. The numerical experiments are randomly generated to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Error Correction Intuitive Approach in Quantum Communications ProtocolsAris Skander, Merabtine Nadjim, Malek BenslamaQuantum Error Correction will be necessary for preserving coherent states against noise and other unwanted interactions in quantum computation and communication. We develop a general theory of quantum error correction based on encoding states into larger Hilbert spaces subject to known interactions. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the perfect recovery of an encoded state after its degradation by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,838 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Profile of Some Heavy Metal Ions Adsorption Onto Biomaterial SurfacesMedhat A. ShakerThe adsorption of Co2+, Zn2+, Pb2+ and Hg2+ onto dried non-living biomass (NB) of different Pseudomonas strains has been investigated in detail. Maximum adsorption of these cations is achieved at optimum pH values from 3.5 to 4.5 to avoid hydrolysis, polymerization and precipitation of metal cations in the treatment solutions. The experimental data obtained at different temperatures were fitted to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of the Moving Boundary Problem During Melting Process in a Rectangular Cavity Heated from BelowY. Jellouli, R. Chouikh, A. Guizani, A. BelghithWe present an analysis of the melting process in Phase Change Materials (PCM) in a horizontal cavity heated from below, driven by the coupling of transient heat conduction in the solid phase and steady state laminar natural convection in the liquid phase with one of the boundaries of the solution domain that moves. We state the problem in the Cartesian … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Diloxanide Furoate and Metronidazole in Binary Mixture Using First Derivative of the Ratio-Spectra and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-UV MethodsNora H. Al-ShaalanTwo methods are presented for simultaneous determination of diloxanide furoate and metronidazole. The first method depends on first derivative of the ratio-spectra by measurements of the amplitudes at 242.5 and 285.5 nm for diloxanide furoate and 225.5 and 300 nm for metrinidazole. Calibration graphs were established for 2-100 μg mL-1 for diloxanide furoate and 1-50 μg mL-1 for metronidazole. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,713 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical Properties and Sugar Content Determination of Commercial Carbonated Drinks using Surface Plasmon ResonanceW. Y.W. Yusmawati, H. P. Chuah, M. Y.W. MahmoodIn this study, an optical sensor based on Kretschmann SPR technique was used to detect the sugar content in commercial carbonated drinks. Three samples of carbonated drinks labeled as "Coke", "100 Plus" and "F&N Orange" have been chosen for angle scan SPR measurements. All the measurements were carried out at room temperature using He-Ne laser beam (632.8nm, 5mW) as a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 8,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Single-Phase Rectifier with Improved Power Factor and Low THD using Boost Converter TechniqueIsmail Daut, Rosnazri Ali, Soib TaibThe method of using Boost type of converter was proposed for a 300W single-phase rectifier in this paper. By designing the necessary techniques and methodology, the overall Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion would be improved to the expectation. The cause of having low PF and high THD for a diode-capacitor type of rectifiers is related to non-linearity of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,127 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 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Population In Decompsing Legume Litter Of Differing QualityM. B. Oyun, F. C. Akharayi, F. C. AdetuyiThe influence of litter quality on microbial population during decomposition of fresh pruning of Acacia auriculiformis; Gliricidia sepium and Acacia mixed with Gliricidia (50 : 50) is reported. Acacia (soluble C, 46.6%; N, 3.9%; Phenolic, 2.3%) was rated as low quality litter while Gliricidia (soluble C, 45.2%; N, 4.8%; Phenolic, 2.3%) was rated as high quality litter.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSplitting Technique Initialization in Local PCAAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. Paliwal, Godfrey C. OnwuboluThe local Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reduces linearly redundant components that may present in higher dimensional space. It deploys an initial guess technique which can be utilized when the distribution of a given multivariate data is known to the user. The problem in initialization arises when the distribution is not known. This study explores a technique that can be easily … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
