Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse Fusion in Multi-Agent EnvironmentFereshteh-Azadi Parand, Nasrollah Moghaddam Charkari, Sara AfrasyabianMulti agent environment are often complex, while each member of agent community has vision about only a part of the environment. In such environment, information fusion of agent community is vital to attain a better accuracy or quality of information. Agents have different ability and can access to information sources with different degree of credibility. As a result, information which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Stochastic Knapsack Problem with Continuous Random CapacitySuwitchporn Witchakul, Prapaisri Sudas Na Ayudhaya, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem Statement: The problem of allocating a set of items in order to maximize the toal linear profit under uncertain capacity referred as a stochastic knapsack problem with continuous random capacity was studied theoretically and computationally. Approach: Two optimization based heuristic algorithms were proposed and developed for solving the problem and both efficiency and effectiveness are compared with the general … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwigX-Guide: Twig Query Pattern Matching for XML TreesSu-Cheng Haw, Chien-Sing LeeThe growing importance of XML and the lack of efficient solutions for managing and querying XML data have led to the development of hybrid systems. We present a hybrid system, TwigX-Guide; an extension of the well-known DataGuide index and region encoding labeling to support twig query processing. With TwigX-Guide, a complex query can be decomposed into a set of path … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanWaste management became focus of attention of many researchers and scientists in the last half century due to its vital importance. Waste management covered waste source reduction in general, by recycling, reusing, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel production and land filling. A common approach of waste management models were for specific problems with a limited scope (like … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariables Refinery Process to Ensure Research Unbiasedness (Validity) and Invariance (Reliability) in Agricultural Extension and EducationIraj Malek MohammadiInvolving many variables, usually uncertain discrete, lowers the level of consistency and certainty in complex human studies like agricultural extension education. This research, as a part of a study entitled: Side by side situational analysis of current versus future situations of agricultural sector in manifesting the Ninth Malaysia Plan, is dealing primarily with the purpose and process of refining a … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal SO2 Emissions from Power Stations and Evaluation of their Impact in Kuwait Using a Gaussian Plume Dispersion ModelA.A. Ramadan, M. Al-Sudairawi, S. Alhajraf, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, most of the power stations use fuel oil as the prime source of energy. The sulphur content (S%) of the fuel used as well as other factors have a direct impact on the ground level concentration of sulphur dioxide (SO2) released by power stations into the atmosphere. The SO2 ground level concentration has to meet the environmental standards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQualitative Ferromagnetic Hysteresis ModelingM. Mordjaoui, M. Chabane, B. Boudjema, R. DairaIn determining the electromagnetic properties of magnetic materials, hysteresis modeling is of high importance. Many models are available to investigate those characteristics but they tend to be complex and difficult to implement. A new qualitative hysteresis model for ferromagnetic core presented, based on the function approximation capabilities of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The proposed ANFIS model combined the neural … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Scheduling Algorithm Based on Petri Nets and Simulated AnnealingRachida Hadiby Ghoul, Abdelhamid Benjelloul, Sihem Kechida, Hicham TebbikhThis study aims at presenting a hybrid Flexible Manufacturing System "HFMS" short-term scheduling problem. Based on the art state of general scheduling algorithms, we present the meta-heuristic, we have decided to apply for a given example of HFMS. That was the study of Simulated Annealing Algorithm SA. The HFMS model based on hierarchical Petri nets, was used to represent static … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomedicine and Informatics Model of Alzheimer's DiseaseKang Cheng, Chang-Hua ZouIn a perspective of biomedicine and informatics, the mechanism of Alzheimer's, senile amnesia, or other aging-associated and cognitive impairment related diseases involve four important informative processing procedures: propagation, consolidation, retrieval and cognition, In this study, we systematically model the four procedures based on published experimental data. When modeling the propagation, we develop an equivalent circuit of biological membrane to describe … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 28 May 2007 · 6,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Output Codes for Fast Covering Learning using Basic Decomposition TechniquesAruna Tiwari, Narendra S. ChaudhariWe propose the design of output codes for solving the classification problem in Fast Covering Learning Algorithm (FCLA). For a complex multi-class problem normally the classifiers are constructed by combining the outputs of several binary ones. In this paper, we use the basic methods of decomposition; one per class (OPC) and Error Correcting Output Code (ECOC) with FCLA, binary to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,310 accessesView PDFCite
