Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Parametric of Sample Selection Model Using Heckman Two-Step Estimation ModelsM. S. Lola, A. A. Kamil, M.T. Abu OsmanProblem statement: It is well known that, the standard approach to estimating a sample selection models shows an inconsistent estimation results if the distributional assumption are incorrect. Approach: An important progress in the last decade to develop an alternative to overcome the deficiency is through the used of semi-parametric method. However, the usage of semi-parametric approach still does not cover … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMalignant Mucosal Melanoma of the Head and Neck Diagnosed in an Iranian Population over an 11-Year PeriodMaryam Assadat Hashemi Pour, M. Rad, M. R. Zarei, G. ChamaniProblem statement: Mucosal Melanoma of the Head and Neck (MMHN) is a rare lethal disease. This malignancy accounts for half of all mucosal melanomas, occurring mainly in the nasal cavity, oral cavity and pharynx. They appear with equal gender distribution and with a peak incidence in the age range 60-80 years. The aim of this study was to investigate incidence, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method for Accuracy Assessment of Sub-Pixel Classification ResultsH. Emami, B. MojaradiProblem statement: Classification accuracy assessment is the main stage of information extraction to evaluate the performance of a classifier. According to the output's classifiers (thematic map/fraction map), a properly strategy for accuracy assessment should be taken into consideration. Since pure pixels are used in traditional accuracy assessment of full pixel classifiers they are not suitable for assessment of sub-pixel classifiers. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlnus subcordata C.A.M. Cambium Cells Dynamics Along Transport Corridors in Hyrcanian ForestsAidin Parsakhoo, Hamid Jalilvand, Mehdi SheikhiProblem statement: In this study, we considered transport corridors and sampling aspects to be the major indicators of ecological effects on Alder (Alnus subcordata) cambium cells dynamics. Approach: Thus, 240 cores were taken from forest-facing and road-facing trunk of Alder trees along Amre, Neka and Darab Kola transport corridors in hyrcanian Forests of Iran. Results showed that the roads corridor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Light-Weight Service Discovery Protocol for Ad Hoc NetworksRanwa Al Mallah, Alejandro QuinteroProblem statement: In mobile ad hoc networks devices do not rely on a fixed infrastructure and thus have to be self-organizing. This gives rise to various challenges to network applications. Existing service discovery protocols fall short of accommodating the complexities of the ad-hoc environment. However, the performance of distributed service discovery architectures that rely on a virtual backbone for locating … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,343 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTEC and Scintillation Study of Equatorial Ionosphere: A Month Campaign over Sipitang and Parit Raja Stations, MalaysiaM. Abdullah, A. F.M. Zain, Y. H. Ho, S. AbdullahProblem Statement: Ionospheric scintillations, which cause significant effects on satellite signals for communication and navigation, often takes place in equatorial region such as Malaysia. However, this disturbance are not fully understand due to few studies performed. This research reports the study and monitoring activity on Total Electron Content (TEC) and ionospheric scintillation in Malaysia using GPS measurements. Approach: One dual-frequency … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProviding Reliability in Replicated Middleware ApplicationsR. Saravanan, N. RamarajProblem statement: Data inconsistency is raised in actively replicated environment due to non-determinism in the applications that defeats the purpose of replication as a fault-tolerance strategy. Approach: We proposed an efficient framework RTC which ensured determinism among the replicas in fault tolerance middleware applications. This method exploits the technique of statically analyzing the application source code of client and identifies … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,703 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistogram of Intensity Feature Extraction for Automatic Plastic Bottle Recycling System Using Machine VisionSuzaimah Ramli, Mohd Marzuki Mustafa, Aini Hussain, Dzuraidah Abdul WahabCurrently, many recycling activities adopt manual sorting for plastic recycling that relies on plant personnel who visually identify and pick plastic bottles as they travel along the conveyor belt. These bottles are then sorted into the respective containers. Manual sorting may not be a suitable option for recycling facilities of high throughput. It has also been noted that the high … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,086 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 abstractA Middleware Service for Increasing Applications Integration AvailabilityNader Mohamed, Jameela Al-JaroodiMiddleware has become an integral part of many distributed applications offering effective integration and interoperability solutions. In some situations a problem may occur where the integration of distributed information applications may be affected by scheduled unavailability of one or more of these applications. The scheduled unavailability occurs due to several reasons including application or data backup, software or hardware maintenance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 6,816 accessesView PDFCite
