Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Web-Based Rapid Prototyping Workflow Management Information System for Computer Repair and MaintenanceA. H. El-Mousa, Z. J. Muhsin, M. A. Al-TaeeProblem statement: Response to paper-based requests for computer and peripheral repair and maintenance has become very troublesome and slow due to the large demand and expansion at the University of Jordan. The objectives of this study were to: (i) investigate the current system processes associated with the paper-based workflow system. (ii) design and implement, using a suitable workflow management approach, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach for Cooling Electronics Using a Combined Heat Pipe and Thermoelectric ModuleBanjerd Saengchandr, Nitin V. AfzulpurkarThe development of effective cooling systems for microprocessors, specifically for CPU and other computer chips, is greatly important due to growth of high speed performance chips, which operate at elevated heat rates. The same issues apply for adjacent units including RAM and HDD also contributing to overall generation of heat inside computer. Problem statement: Conventional cooling system for desktop PC … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Power Multicast Problem in Wireless Mesh Networks by Using a Hybrid Particle Swarm OptimizationAllam Maalla, Chen Wei, Haitham J. TahaProblem statement: Most mobile nodes in a wireless ad hoc network are powered by energy limited batteries; the limited battery lifetime imposes a constraint on the network performance. Therefore, power consumption of network operations is critical and subject to optimization. Approach: A novel hybrid PSO was proposed for solving the minimum power multicast problem in wireless ad-hoc networks. The MPM … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,809 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUrinary Tract Infection-A Survey of Local PopulationShaon Ray Chaudhuri, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Poulomi Nandy, Santanu SamantaUrinary Tract Infection, commonly known as UTI, affects as many as 50% women at least once during their lifetime. All individuals are susceptible to Urinary Tract Infection (UTI); however the prevalence of infection differs with age, sex and certain predisposing factors. With the above background in mind we conducted a survey of the local population (women of 3 age groups) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhat is Xenohormesis?Joseph A. Baur, David A. SinclairPolyphenols such as resveratrol and quercetin, which are produced by stressed plants, activate sirtuin enzymes and extend the lifespan of fungi and animals, ostensibly by mimicking the beneficial effects of caloric restriction. This observation raises an interesting question: Why should foreign molecules that are non-nutritive and seemingly unrelated to any endogenous molecule modulate the same biochemical pathways that mediate the … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 10,386 accessesView PDFCite
