Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomating the Mapping Process of Traditional Malay Textile Knowledge Model with the Core OntologySyerina Azlin Md Nasir, Nor Laila Md NoorProblem statement: The wave of ontology has spread drastically in the cultural heritage domain. The impact can be seen from the growing number of cultural heritage web information systems, available textile ontology and harmonization works with the core ontology, CIDOC CRM. The aim of this study is to provide a base for common views in automating the process of mapping … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEducation to Face the Wicked Challenges of SustainabilityBland TomkinsonProblem statement: The nature of sustainable development requires new paradigms for education. Issues of sustainability are ‘wicked problems’ that do not lend themselves to conventional didactic approaches. The challenge for higher education is to examine interdisciplinary approaches to global societal responsibility and, within this, issues of education for sustainable development. Approach: A project, sponsored by the Royal Academy of Engineering, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2010 · 8,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Clustering Time by a Group of Autonomous Robots Making Use of an Exclusive Multi-MarkingMohamed Rida Abdessemed, Kamel Khoualdi, Azeddine BilamiProblem statement: For solving complex issues, the current tendency goes towards the swarms behaviors, realized on a basis of collective interactions, which results from a cooperative work favoring exchanges between individuals of a same group at microscopic level and allowing the emergence of complex collective behaviors at macroscopic level. Many models were inspired by these attitudes to find simple rules, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 9 Nov 2010 · 6,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMotion Detection and Projection Based Block Motion Estimation Using the Radon Transform for Video CodingShilpa P. Metkar, Sanjay N. TalbarProblem statement: Motion estimation and compensation is the most computationally complex module of video coder. In this study, an innovative algorithm was proposed for a further complexity reduction of the Motion Estimation (ME) module of video coder by employing motion detection prior to motion compensation. Approach: A Motion Detection (MD) module can be added to the video coder in order … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecreased Intensity of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection in Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane Under Influence of Ultradiluted Belladonna ExtractBhaswati Bandyopadhyay, Satadal Das, Milan Sengupta et al.Problem statement: No specific antiviral therapy is currently available despite an emergence and resurgence of Japanese encephalitis in South-East Asian Countries. There are only few recent studies, which were aimed to treat Japanese encephalitis with newer drugs. There is thus a real need for study on antiviral agents that can reduce the toll of death and neurological sequelae resulting from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Abnormal Modes of Hoisting DC Electric Drive SystemKosmas ZdrozisProblem statement: Host number of publications in which special attention was given to the behavior of the hoisting drives in abnormal modes was found. The effect of the failure of the main power supply on the electrical and mechanical parts of the hoisting drive when the motor is operating in the regenerative braking mode was not enough studied. Approach: In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClayboy Pottery Company: A Case Study in Quality Management in a Job Shop Operations SystemMichael R. SummersBackground: This case study is designed for upper-level undergraduate students in a basic operations management course. Prerequisites would include statistics and computer science. Objective: The purpose of the case is to give the students an opportunity to apply statistical quality control techniques. The case presents an interesting problem in a real setting and students will be forced to consider realistic … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFiber Optic Sensors for Transportation Infrastructural Health MonitoringChin Chang, Rahul MehtaProblem statement: Monitoring the health of transportation infrastructures is currently reliant on transportation maintenance teams. Scheduled and periodic inspections on most of the infrastructures are performed by manual and visual operations, which are generally time consuming and costly procedures. The use of the fiber optic sensor technology makes it possible to realize continuous, real time and automatic health monitoring for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardware Implementation of a Genetic Algorithm Based Canonical Singed Digit Multiplierless Fast Fourier Transform Processor for Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Ultra Wideband ApplicationsMahmud Benhamid, Masuri B. OthmanProblem statement: Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology has attracted many researchers' attention due to its advantages and its great potential for future applications. The physical layer standard of Multi-band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) UWB system is defined by ECMA International. In this standard, the data sampling rate from the analog-to-digital converter to the physical layer is up to 528 … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards the Development of Speaker-Dependent and Speaker-Independent Hidden Markov Model-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Tone distortion in Thai languages can deteriorate not only the intelligibility of speech but also its naturalness. Therefore, the correctness of tone must be carefully taken into account in continuous speech synthesis. The preliminary work confronted this problem when applying HMM-based speech synthesis to Thai. Approach: This study presented a study on speaker-dependent and speaker-independent Hidden Markov Model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
