Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Environmental Impacts of Urban Growth Using Land Use/Land Cover, Water Quality and Health Indicators: A Case Study of Arequipa, PeruOswaldo Villena Carpio, Brian D. FathProblem statement: This research assesses the direct effects of urban expansion on land cover/use, river flow, water quality and the indirect effects of these variables in the rate of gastrointestinal disease in people in Arequipa, Peru through the combined use of satellite remote sensing and geographic information systems. Approach: It also uses information about demographic changes, hydrologic data and land … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvolvement of Service Knowledge Management System in Integration of ITIL V3 and Enterprise ArchitectureAkbar Nabiollahi, Rose Alinda Alias, Shamsul SahibuddinProblem statement: This study attempts to investigate and clarify the relationship of Service Knowledge Management System (SKMS) with our primary study regard to using enterprise architecture through ITIL V3. Approach: SKMS concepts are introduced by ITIL V3 as a set of tools and databases that are used to manage knowledge and information of IT services. Results: The SKMS stores, retrieves, … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Monitoring System for Mitigation Planning: The Case of "Bagnaschino" Landslide in Northern ItalyGiuliani Andrea, Bonetto Sabrina, Castagna Sara et al.Problem statement: The Bagnaschino landslide occurred in November 1994 that caused extensive floods and many landslides all over northern Italy. In southern Piedmont, the Casotto River (Cuneo Province) damaged many kilometers of provincial road and the river was dammed by this landslide. The landslide involves an area of about 100 thousands m3, but a good knowledge of the landslide is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Alternative Ray Tracing Algorithm for Understanding Scenes with Embedded ObjectsNancy Dandachy, Dimitri Plemenos, Safwan Chendeb, Bachar El HassanProblem statement: In the virtual world domain, the existing techniques of exploration, were not able alone to resolve the understanding problem of scenes with embedded object, also they are time and memory consuming. As a solution, a novel method that enhances the visualization of 3D ray traced scenes with embedded objects by creating a hole proportional to its interior parts … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti Microkernel Operating Systems for Multi-Core ProcessorsRami MatarnehProblem statement: In the midst of the huge development in processors industry as a response to the increasing demand for high-speed processors manufacturers were able to achieve the goal of producing the required processors, but this industry disappointed hopes, because it faced problems not amenable to solution, such as complexity, hard management and large consumption of energy. These problems forced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Framework for Design of Intelligent Simulation EnvironmentAli Azadeh, Farid GhaderiThis study describes a framework for design and development of intelligent simulation environment. The intelligent simulation environment prescribes an integrated rule-based approach to simulate and optimize a manufacturing system. An intelligent simulation model is a computer program capable of improving its performance by referring to production constraints, system's limitations and desired targets. It is a goal oriented, flexible and integrated … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation Techniques for Monitoring and Controlling the Performance of the Computer Communication NetworksIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Adanan I. Al RabiaThis study was concerned with making a comparative study between four types of time series model with the goal of choosing the optimum one to predict the performance of a computer communication network. The investigated four types of time series are: Least Square (LS), Fourier series, Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and the Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). Comparative … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreating Improved Models of Business Processes Through Statistical Analysis of Customer Orders with Multiple Types of ComplexityRaschid Ijioui, Heike Emmerich, Jürgen Hubert, Frank SchillerTo gain a better understanding of the internal work processes in service-oriented supply chains, it is very important to design models that are able to realistically describe the components of the supply chain. To meet this goal, it is necessary to find suitable statistical distributions of the processing times for the orders passing the chain. In this article we examine … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Neural Network for Generating Adaptive LessonsHassina Seridi-Bouchelaghem, Toufik Sari, Mokhtar SellamiTraditional sequencing technology developed in the field of intelligent tutoring systems have not find an immediate place in large-scale Web-based education. This study investigates the use of computational intelligence for adaptive lesson generation in a distance learning environment over the Web. An approach for adaptive pedagogical hypermedia document generation is proposed and implemented in a prototype called KnowledgeClass. This approach … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite
