Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsScheduling Algorithm to Optimize Jobs in Shop FloorT. Hemamalini, A. N. Senthilvel, S. SomasundaramProblem statement: The ratio scheduling algorithm to solve the allocation of jobs in the shop floor was proposed. The problem was to find an optimal schedule so as to minimize the maximum completion time, the sum of distinct earliness and tardiness penalties from a given common due date d. Approach: The objective of the proposed algorithm was to reduce the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 9 Nov 2010 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Numerical Approach for Evaluating the Convergence-Confinement Curve of a Rock Tunnel Considering Hoek-Brown Strength CriterionPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method is frequently used for the analysis of the behavior of a tunnel and to define the support structures necessary to guarantee its stability. The reasons why it is used extensively, at least in the preliminary study phases of a tunnel are: The fundamental parameters of the problem (the diameter and depth of the tunnel, as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Palm oil Biodiesel Blends as a Fuel for Compression Ignition EngineB. Deepanraj, C. Dhanesh, R. Senthil et al.Problem statement: The increasing awareness of the environmental hazards and the alarming levels of air pollution have led to more restrictive regulations on engines emission control in recent years. Approach: The dwindling resources and rising cost of crude oil had resulted in an intensified search for alternate fuels. In the present study biodiesel (palm oil methyl ester) blends with diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 7 Oct 2011 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards an Integrated Intrusion Detection Monitoring in High Speed NetworksHassen SallayProblem statement: Security Management has become a critical aspect for large scale distributed systems. Particularly, recent Distributed Intrusion Detection Systems (DIDS) schemes in High Speed Networks (HSN) have raised new serious management problems and challenges. Increasing the effectiveness of IDS monitoring is primordial to satisfy the restrictive constraints in such large multi-domains environment for narrow context of HSN. Approach: We … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,560 accessesView PDFCite
