Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Metric Development Framework (qMDF)K. Mustafa, R. A. KhanSeveral object-oriented metrics have been developed and used in conjunction with the quality models to predict the overall quality of software. However, it may not be enough to propose metrics. The fundamental question may be of their validity, utility and reliability. It may be much significant to be sure that these metrics are really useful and for that their construct … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRevisiting Overflow in Integer MultiplicationEyas El-Qawasmeh, Ahmed DalalahInteger multiplication is a very common operation that is executed in many applications. However, some of these applications suffer from the overflow problem caused by the multiply operation of two operands. The overflow occurs whenever the multiplication of any two-integer numbers exceeds the maximum limit available for the result. Many programming languages ignored this problem; therefore, the programmer has to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simple Approach for Building Cooling Load EstimationF. A. Ansari, A. S. Mokhtar, K. A. Abbas, N. M. AdamThe present work is to demonstrate how some very simple problems are made mathematically complex and seemingly tedious due to academic or business compulsions. There are some problems in which mathematical model are developed after making many simplifying assumptions. But, when it comes to solving these models, very sophisticated and complex schemes are applied. For such problems, dual policy does … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,534 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKey Exchange Protocol in Elliptic Curve Cryptography with No Public PointK. Kaabneh, H. Al-BdourIn recent years some cryptographic algorithms have gained popularity due to properties that make them suitable for use in constrained environment like mobile information appliances, where computing resources and power availability are limited. One of these cryptosystems is Elliptic curve which requires less computational power, memory and communication bandwidth compared to other cryptosystem. This makes the elliptic curve cryptography to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics of Infected Snails and Mated Schistosoma Worms within the Human HostG. Besigye-Bafaki, L. S. LuboobiMale and female worms are independently distributed within a human host each with a Poisson probability distribution mass function. Mating takes place immediately when partners are available. It was found that the mated worm function is non-linear near the origin and becomes almost linear as the worms increase. They increase with increase in the worm load due to aggregation of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,237 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroducing Song Form Intelligence into Streaming AudioKevin CurranWhen receiving streaming media over a low bandwidth wireless connection, users can experience not only packet losses but also extended service interruptions. These dropouts can last for as long as 15 sec. During this time no packets are received and if not addressed, these dropped packets cause unacceptable interruptions in the audio stream. A long dropout of this kind may … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGranulomatous Amoebic Encephalitis: Clinical Diagnosis and ManagementNaveed Ahmed KhanGranulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) is a serious human disease with fatal consequences. With the mortality rate of more than 90%, it is not surprising that the majority of GAE infections are identified at the post-mortem stage. The most distressing aspect is that the high level of mortality is attributed to lack of awareness. Early diagnosis with aggressive treatment can lead … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
