Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrition in Tertiary Education: Biological and Social ApproachesG. A. Fragkiadakis, C. Papandreou, K. GkouskouProblem statement: Human Nutrition, a necessary component of health-education, studies the food-depended growth/maintenance of the human body. To approach what nutritionists will need to apply in the 21st century, we searched the literature for new syllabus-fields. Approach: We detected fields likely to play a significant and innovative role in university teaching of Human Nutrition; then tried a synthesis of biological … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Feb 2012 · 8,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetention Pond Sediment Accumulation Prediction using Monte Carlo SimulationSupiah Shamsudin, Abd Rashid Mohd Darom, Irma Norazurah Mohamad, Azmi Ab RahmanProblem statement: A study in Malaysia had been carried out to predict the sediment accumulation in urban detention ponds. Suspended sediment is pollutant of primary concern to the river that results in adverse environmental effect. Detention pond becomes a practical approach to this problem. Suspended sediment that settled in stormwater detention pond, can bring effect to the detention pond functions. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Distributed Coverage and Target Tracking Algorithm for Wireless Sensor NetworksM. Senthamilselvi, N. DevarajanProblem statement: Due to communication, processing and energy constraints, tracking in sensor networks creates different challenges. Since existing algorithms utilized the information from all the sensors for tracking, it results in higher expenditure of energy and reduced lifetime for the network. Approach: We propose to develop a distributed coverage and target tracking algorithm for wireless sensor networks. Tracking issue is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 6 Jan 2012 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWideband E-Shaped Microstrip Antenna for Wireless Sensor NetworksG. Elangovan, J. Rajapaul PerinbamProblem statement: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is currently receiving significant attention due to their unlimited potential. It is still very early in the lifetime of such systems and many research challenges exist, out of which one of the challenges is sensor processing and fusion under limited capacities, the most important component in sensor is its TX/RX antenna. Approach: For high-speed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Nov 2011 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Anthropometric and Metabolic Variables with Cardiovascular Disease among Urban and Rural OriginBadaruddoza, Kushal Gill, Raman KumarProblem statement: We have examined the prevalence and association of cardiovascular diseases with respect to obesity and metabolic risk factors clustering among urban and rural Punjabi males aged 20-55 years. Obesity has been defined by increased Waist Circumference (WC), Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR). Metabolic traits such as increased total cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins have also … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAttitudes of High School Students toward Physical Education and Their Sport Activity PreferencesHoward Z. Zeng, Michael Hipscher, Raymond W. LeungProblem statement: Identifying and understanding correlates of school children’s physical education activity participation are critical to promoting current and lifelong physical activity participation of children. Among other factors, children’s attitudes are considered to be a key element influencing physical activity participation. Children who have more positive attitudes toward physical activity are reported to be more likely to participate in physical … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 15 Aug 2011 · 19,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoverage Eligibility Rule based Coverage Maintenance Protocol for Energy Conservation in Wireless Sensor NetworksA. Balamurugan, T. PurushothamanProblem statement: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprise of small nodes with sensing, computation and wireless communication capabilities. Nodes in a sensor network are severely constrained by energy and computing power. Continuous working of sensor nodes leads to quick depletion of battery power and reduces the overall lifetime. To prolong the lifetime of the sensor nodes, efficient routing protocol that could … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 6 Aug 2011 · 6,630 accessesView PDFCite
