Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Approach for Integrated Measure of Object-Oriented Software TestabilityVandana Gupta, K. K. Aggarwal, Yogesh SinghFor large software systems, testing phase seems to have profound effect on the overall acceptability and quality of the final product. The success of this activity can be judged by measuring the testability of the software. A good measure for testability can better manage the testing effort and time. Different Object Oriented Metrics are used in measurement of object-oriented testability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Real-time Image Processing with a Compact FPGA-based ArchitectureRidha Djemal, Didier Demigny, Rached TourkiThis study have presented a filed programmable gate array implementation of a real time video smoothing algorithm. In comparison with smoothing video techniques like deblocking filters in H.264 or smoothing in JPEG2000, the proposed method is implemented in hardware and its computational cost and complexity are reduced where all pixel processing related to uncompressed video is done on the fly. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractERCP Related SepsisIffet Palabıyıkoglu, Emin Tekelı, Derya Aysev et al.Endoscopic procedures performed worldwide have increased considerably in recent years. In addition to diagnosis, many cases previously necessitating surgery now often can be carried out by endoscopic techniques. However, endoscopy has introduced its own infection risk. Most reports of gastrointestinal endoscopy-associated infection describe sepsis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with biliary tract obstruction. During this study, which was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Chinese Traditional Processing Method on Components in Semen Sinapis AlbaeLifang Liu, Hui Zhou, Suqin Sun et al.Techniques of infrared (IR) spectrophotometry, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and HPLC-mass spectrometry are employed in this study to reveal the changes of the components in Semen sinapis Albae during the Chinese traditional processing. While the degradation of proteins and polysaccarides can be observed, sinapine in this drug can be known to decompose immediately after 15 mins during processing.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing Effectiveness of IDS to Improve Security in IntranetUmesh Kumar Singh, A. K. Ramani, Narendra S. Chaudhari, Vandana GuptaToday Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are becoming one of the most important tools for intranet security. Research regarding Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) has become more active with the recent increases in illegal accesses to computer systems. Many researchers focus only on the techniques or mechanisms for detecting intrusions automatically, without considering the security of IDSs themselves. When an intruder attacks … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Vibrations in Switched Reluctance Motor DrivesS. Balamurugan, R. ArumugamThis study discusses a simple algorithm for estimation and reduction of Vibrations in a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) using magnetic circuit simulation in MATLAB/SIMULINK Environment. A Non-linear model is developed using magnetic circuit equations, wherein non-linearity is added using a inductance profile with back EMF. Dynamic characteristic of the SRM is simulated and the same is being verified experimentally. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Industrial Development Policies, Plans and Programs of Strategic Environmental Assessment in the Industrial Sector of IranJ. Nouri, B. Maghsoudlou KamaliThe present investigation deals with the quality of capacity building and institutional strengthening of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in the industrial sector as well as determining the environmental strategies for industrial sustainable development in Iran. The leading aim of this paper has been to systematize the environmental considerations in industrial development strategies, policies, plans and programs in the highest strategic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Note on the Role of Abstraction and Generality in Software DevelopmentPavol Návrat, Roman FilkornAlthough the evolving field of software engineering introduces many methods and modelling techniques, we conjecture that the concepts of abstraction and generality are among the fundamentals of each such methodology. This study proposed a formal representation of these two concepts, along with a two-dimensional space for the representation of their application. Based on the examples, we further elaborate and discuss … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Class of Region-preserving Space Transformations for Indexing High-dimensional DataRatko Orlandic, Jack LukaszukThis study introduces a class of region preserving space transformation (RPST) schemes for accessing high-dimensional data. The access methods in this class differ with respect to their space-partitioning strategies. The study develops two new static partitioning schemes that can split each dimension of the space within linear space complexity. They also support an effective mechanism for handling skewed data in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
