Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordClassifying and Predicting Students’ Performance using Improved Decision Tree C4.5 in Higher Education InstitutesMohammed Hikmat Sadiq, Nawzat Sadiq AhmedStudents’ information in higher education institutions increases yearly. It is hard for them to extract meaningful information from the huge amount of data manually. Such information can support academic staff to stop students from dropping out at the end of courses. This can be done by evaluating the students’ performance for the course and also by predicting their performance in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 12 Sep 2019 · 9,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImproving Coordination and Communication in Distributed Software Development through Context-Based Software Artifacts Awareness: A Controlled ExperimentRafael Leonardo Vivian, Elisa Hatsue Moriya Huzita, Renato Balancieri et al.Distributed Software Development (DSD) has brought many competitive advantages, such as increased productivity, improved product quality and cost reduction. However, the geographic and temporal distances and sociocultural differences between distributed teams, expanded some challenges and, above all, added new requirements with regard to communication and coordination. This scenario has influenced on the software artifacts that are produced and/or modified, because … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 15 Nov 2018 · 7,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImproving Routing Discovery Based Velocity-Aware Probabilistic Using AODV with Link Prediction in Mobile Ad-hoc NetworksZaid BassfarThe current process associated with enhancing the QoS in routing for MANETs has reserved a high importance due to the limitation of available route discovery in dynamic topology. The conventional methods of route discovery schemes in MANETs are commonly designed in order to estimate the number of nodes in routes using the standard probabilistic models. Such models are utilized by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 8 · 1 Aug 2017 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFeature Extraction Method for Improving Speech Recognition in Noisy EnvironmentsYoussef Zouhir, Kaïs OuniThe paper presents a feature extraction method, named as Normalized Gammachirp Cepstral Coefficients (NGCC) that incorporates the properties of the peripheral auditory system to improve robustness in noisy speech recognition. The proposed method is based on a second order low-pass filter and normalized gammachirp filterbank to emulate the mechanisms performed in the outer/middle ear and cochlea. The speech recognition performance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2016 · 7,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Use of Nano Silica for Improving Mechanical Properties of Hardened Cement PasteIntisar Kuli, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Elham H. Fini, Sameer A. HamoushThe influence of adding Nano particles of silicon dioxide (SiO2) on cement pastes was studied for both water and vacuum curing methods. Specimens made up of different percentage of Nano Silica were tested at different ages ranging from 3-56 days. The effect of (5-20 nm) Nano-Silica on the strength development of Nano-cement was determined using Material Tests System (MTS). The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 9,084 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Guaranteed Time and Rate Control Method for Improving QoS in WLANA. Anitha, J. JayakumariWireless Local Area Network is a mobile network, which connects the users in a small specific area. The devices within the area connect with each other through the wireless access points. The main requirements for the connection between the wireless devices are the time and the power. The transmission time between the wireless devices should be less and the power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 10 Mar 2016 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite

SekarProblem statement: An error minimization in robot arm dynamics improves operations and performance of production systems. Many contributions have been made in area of robot dynamics since the earliest study more than two decades, but, a number of researchers are still contributing various principles and new techniques for the best use of robots in reality, especially in the field of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTwigINLAB: A Decomposition-Matching-Merging Approach To Improving XML Query ProcessingSu-Cheng Haw, Chien-Sing LeeThe emergence of the Web has increased significant interests in querying XML data. Current methods for XML query processing still suffers from producing large intermediate results and are not efficient in supporting query with mixed types of relationships. We propose the TwigINLAB algorithm to process and optimize the query evaluation. Our TwigINLAB adopts the decomposition-matching-merging approach and focuses on optimizing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,988 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImproving Quality of Clustering using Cellular Automata for Information retrievalP. K. Sree, G. V.S. Raju, I. R. Babu, S. V. RajuClustering has been widely applied to Information Retrieval (IR) on the grounds of its potential improved effectiveness over inverted file search. Clustering is a mostly unsupervised procedure and the majority of the clustering algorithms depend on certain assumptions in order to define the subgroups present in a data set .A clustering quality measure is a function that, given a data … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImproving Mechanical Characteristics of Inverter-induction Motor Drive SystemHussein Sarhan, Rateb IssaAn inverter-three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor drive system with improved mechanical characteristics is presented. The proposed system provides mechanical characteristics with constant maximum torque or increased maximum torque and reduced slip speed at frequencies below the nominal frequency. The control algorithm is based on the constant volts per hertz principle using two improvement techniques: keeping maximum torque constant or keeping magnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
