Implementation of scalable VoIP System over Cloud[Full-Text ] Tamer Elnawawy, Islam Hany HarbThe tremendous growth of internet and cloud computing systems puts enormous pressure on internet service providers to ensure quality of service for real time applications, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video on demand. VoIP leverages the use of packets, therefore, much more information can be carried over the network to support/enhance our communication needs, compared to traditional telephony methods. This introduces scalability and reliability challenges to handle such massive data exchange over the internet. In addition, virtualization, in cloud computing, adds another dimension to the problem: distribution of the virtual machines (VMs) and their migration. The repeated use of Internet Protocol shortest path towards the same destination may lead to unbalanced traffic situations and degraded network performance.

SOIL STABILIZATION IN SKARDU REGION OF GILGIT BALTISTAN USING WOOD ASH[Full-Text ] Muhammad Mazahir Haider, Liaqat Ali, S. Muhammad JamilThis research is intended to examine the effect of locally produced wood ash on the engineering properties of soil found in Skardu region of Gilgit Baltistan area of Pakistan and to evaluate their potential use for the stabilization and improvement of engineering properties of soils. Two types of soil were selected from Skardu region, CL-ML and CL. Both types of soil were mixed with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% wood ash. XRD test result shows presence of clay minerals in both types of soil, both types of soil are reactive with wood ash. In unconfined compressive strength test optimum percentage of wood ash required for stabilizing the soil is in range of 5% to 10% by weight of soil for both type of soils. CBR test results shows at 10% wood ash mixed with both types of soil give higher CBR value.

Relationship between tax revenues and economic growth in Bangladesh[Full-Text ] Nasrin IslamThe relationship between economic growth and tax revenues is a debate that has existed for a long time in the living history. The discussion on the two variables has exhibit contentions from academicians and policy makers with one school holding on the view that taxation is bad for the economy while the other school believe that taxation is good for the economy. Valuable empirical literature exists that studies the relationship between economic growth and tax revenues though most of them analyze the variable at cross - country level. However, not much literature exists exploring the relationship between the two variables at country specific level.

A Survey of Tax Morale among Self-Employed Taxpayers in South-West Nigeria[Full-Text ] ENYI P. Enyi , ADEGBIE F. Folajimi , AGBETUNDE L. AyodeleSustainability of human societies hinges on social contract between the rulers and the ruled, whereby the rulers provide public goods and service for the ruled and the ruled pay tax as the price for the benefits derived. Meanwhile, tax compliance has been an issue of concern from its inception and may continue, as long as government needs funds for its projects. Studies have revealed the inadequacy of tax morale, the driver of tax compliance, in fully explaining tax compliance due to complexities in identifying latter’s causative factors. Not many studies have examined this tax morale among self-employed especially in developing country like Nigeria.

Preprocessing of Lower Limb Bone Based on Full Leg CT Scan[Full-Text ] Safaa M. Gamal, Nancy M. Salem, Ahmed F. SeddikNowadays, the medical digital image processing appeared in the diagnosis of various diseases. It considered as one of the most important tools in many disciplines of medicine which help the doctors to take the final decision on treatment or operations based on the processed image. In this paper, the accuracy and performance of various preprocessing filtering methods are compared. The (STD) Standard Deviation, (MSE) Mean Squared Error and (PSNR) Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio are used to evaluate the performance of filtered images. Results show that Gaussian filter provides better PSNR and lower STD and MSE values. Hence, we nominate that Gaussian filter is an efficient for preprocessing full leg CT medical radiograph images.

The Solar Synthesis-Deuterium Depletion-Hydrolase Transfiguration Principle[Full-Text ] Jere Rivera-DugenioOrganic, eternal living water does not exist on this finite-life planet. Modern scientists, meta-physicists and spiritualists claim they have either found or produced “living” water but what they are oblivious to the fact that the current state of water (H2O) on this planet is “dead” water due to certain energy mutations controlling the planetary grids and human bio-energy fields. Hydrolase is the real, atomic living water (DS3: H2O2He3, DS2: O2H2N3 organic, conscious, living water atomic matter), which is the “water-matter-base” (hydro-acoustic) compound element of which our 144 organic living elements are composed. This research paper will offer a revolutionary perspective on organic, living water and how to naturally produce hydrolase within the physical body.

Elevated Serum Levels of CEA in Egyptian Female Breast Cancer Patients as Standing Tumor Biomarker[Full-Text ] Samar A. Ghonem, Rasha F. Zahran, Menha M. Swellam, Camelia A. Abdel-MalakTumor markers are substances produced by the tumors or by other cells of the body in response to cancer or certain benign conditions. Although most of these markers are made by the normal cells as well as by cancer cells, they are produced at much higher levels in cancerous conditions. These markers are used to evaluate the patient's response to treatment and to detect the presence of metastasis or recurrence. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in females worldwide. The Carcinoembryonic antigen CEA is tumor marker that is often expressed in people with breast cancer. It plays a crucial role in diagnosis, monitoring response to therapy, early detection of metastasis and determination of recurrence in patients with breast cancer.
