Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCEMENT AND COMPARISON OF ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION FOR SOFTWARE RELIABILITY MODELSLatha Shanmugam, Lilly FlorenceIn Common parlance, the traditional software reliability estimation methods often rely on assumptions like statistical distributions that are often dubious and unrealistic. The ability to predict the number of faults during development phase and a proper testing process helps in specifying timely release of software and efficient management of project resources. In the Present Study Enhancement and Comparison of Ant … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract3D Modelling for Mechanized Tunnelling in Soft Ground-Influence of the Constitutive ModelNgoc-Anh Do, Daniel Dias, Pierpaolo Oreste, Irini Djeran-MaigreThe main purpose of this study was to provide a three-dimensional numerical model which would allow to show the influence of the constitutive model of the ground on the tunnel lining behaviour and displacement field surrounding the tunnel. Most of the processes that occur during mechanized excavation have been simulated in this model. Besides the well-known elastic linear perfectly plastic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 8,377 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural Network Controller Based Distribution Static Compensator for Voltage Sag MitigationD. Rajasekaran, Subhransu Sekhar Dash, Arun Bhaskar Mayilvaganan et al.Switching of loads, capacitors, along with the proliferation of power electronics equipment, non-linear loads in industrial, commercial and domestic applications have lead to power quality issues in the distribution system. Power quality issues such as voltage sag, voltage swell and harmonics, which are certainly major concerning issues in the present era. These issues can lead to failure or malfunction of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 21 Jun 2013 · 6,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytic and Nonlinear Prognostic for Vehicle Suspension SystemsAbdo Abou Jaoude, Khaled El-TawilPredicting Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) of industrial systems becomes currently an important aim for industrialists knowing that the expensive failure can occur suddenly. As the classical strategies of maintenance are not efficient and practical because they neglect the evolving product state and environment, the recent prognostic approaches try to fill this gap. This approach shows to be important in ensuring … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2013 · 7,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOENERGETICS, THE FOUNDATION OF THE FUTURE OF CANCER THERAPEUTICS A QUANTUM LEAP IN MAKINGKambiz AfrasiabiDeep understanding of the governing laws of bioenergetics of the living organism and dissection of their aberrancies, could enable us to design new treatment strategies for a vast array of disorders including malignancy and could potentially lead to major breakthroughs and cure of these devastating disorders. The modern treatment strategies currently aim at identification of a pathway considered to be … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2012 · 7,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace Requirements to Optimize Welfare and Performance in Group Housed Pigs-A ReviewAlexandra L. Whittaker, William H. Van Wettere, Paul E. HughesProblem statement: In most countries of the world where there are legislation or guidelines pertaining to the commercial farming of domestic swine, figures are quoted for minimum space allocation for various ages and life stages of the animals. These figures are generally based on professional judgment and are in common usage, but there is a growing trend and an expectation … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2012 · 8,790 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Performance Computing on Fast Lock Delay Locked Loop with Low Power State and Simultanoeus Switching Noise ReductionT. S. Karthik, V. Jawahar Senthil KumarProblem statement: In any multimedia processor, controller may consume most of the on-chip memory resources. The memory requirement is directly depends on algorithm shared by different blocks, so leads to failure in the system models. Approach: This study presents the implementation of DLL unit used for memory optimization. Various aspects of the underlying coarse lock detector are explored and modifications … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 6 Jan 2012 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformation Systems Development Knowledge Sharing-Organizational Justice, Physical Distance and Social InterdependenceMarzanah A. Jabar, Cheah Chee Yeong, Fatimah SidiProblem statement: Knowledge hoarding in Requirements Elicitation (RE) phase could lead to Information Systems Development (ISD) project failure. Many researchers have discussed important factors in knowledge sharing. Nevertheless, the success rate for ISD projects is low and there are other major factors for consideration. Approach: Review was conducted to identify potential gaps in existing literature and to explore new factors … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2011 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
