Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProgressive Content-Sensitive Data Retrieval in Sensor NetworksBo Yang, Manohar MareboyanaProblem statement: For a sensor network comprising autonomous and self-organizing data sources, efficient similarity-based search for semantic-rich resources (such as video data) has been considered as a challenging task due to the lack of infrastructures and the multiple limitations (such as band-width, storage and energy). While the past research discussed much on routing protocols for sensor networks, few works have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 6,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChanges in Flower Development, Chlorophyll Mutation and Alteration in Plant Morphology of Curcuma alismatifolia by Gamma IrradiationThohirah Lee Abdullah, Johari Endan, B. Mohd NazirProblem statement: Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep., commonly known as 'Thai tulip' or pathumma is a member of the family Zingiberaceae. This herbaceous perennial which can be grown from rhizomes have a great potential for use as a cut flower, flowering potted plant and as a garden plant for tropical landscaping.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCooperative Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks-Avoid Non-Perfect Reporting ChannelRania A. Mokhtar, Sabira Khatun, B. M. Ali, A. RamliProblem statement: Cognitive radio is a candidate technology for more efficient spectrum utilization systems based on opportunistic spectrum sharing. However, a common assumption regarding cognitive radios is that they are unlicensed spectrum users that should defer to (avoid interfering with) existing primary sources. Therefore effective sensing of primary users was a major focus of current research. Cooperative spectrum sensing had … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,742 accessesView PDFCite
