Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoundup of Graphical Navigation Helpers on the WebChabane Khentout, Mahieddine Djoudi, Lamri DouidiDespite the recent research, the Web remains mainly constituted of an ever-growing network of documents. As it becomes easier to publish documents, as the number of users and thus publishers, increases and as the number of documents grows, searching for information is turning into a cumbersome and time-consuming operation. Because of the loose interconnection between documents, people have difficulty remembering … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMesoscopic Damage Based Model for Plane Concrete under Static and Dynamic LoadingsM. Labibzadeh, S. A. SadrnejadThe constitutive equations for the mechanical behavior of concrete capable of seeing damage effects or crack growth procedure under loading/unloading/reloading was developed upon microplane framework. The proposed damage formulation has been built on the basis of five fundamental types of stress/strain combinations, which essentially may occur on any of microplanes. Model verification under different loading/unloading/reloading stress/strain paths has been examined. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Network Management Framework Using Mobile AgentsJonathan Lefebvre, Steven Chamberland, Samuel PierreNetwork management of heterogeneous networks is still hard to achieve automatically and efficiently. In this study, we present a framework that has the ability to perform network management tasks on heterogeneous networks using mobile agents. This framework handles the inability of many network devices to run mobile agents. While the main focus of the project is the framework, we present … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocation Based Throughput Maximization Routing in Energy Constrained Mobile Ad-hoc NetworkV. Sumathy, P. Narayanasamy, R. PrabhuIn wireless Ad-hoc network, power consumption becomes an important issue due to limited battery power. One of the reasons for energy expenditure in this network is irregularly distributed node pattern, which impose large interference range in certain area. To maximize the lifetime of ad-hoc mobile network, the power consumption rate of each node must be evenly distributed and the over … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabric Behavior of Sand in Post-liquefactionSeyed Amirodin SadrnejadAn anisotropic plasticity model for post-liquefaction of the undrained behavior of sand is presented. The model incorporates the critical/steady state concept that postulates the existence of a state where sand continuously deforms at a certain constant effective stress depending two main parameters of both initial bulk parameters (void ratio or relative density) and the stress level (mean stress). The local … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstructing Longest Lifetime Route in Mobile Ad-hoc NetworksFredrick Mtenzi, Yingyu WanA mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system consisting of mobile hosts connected by wireless links. Every host can move in any direction at any speed and time. This leads to a dynamic topology as hosts move constantly. MANET broadcast messages to each hosts, the transmission of one host can be heard by all hosts in its communication … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 4,936 accessesView PDFCite
