Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Performance Monitoring Service for Dynamically Composed Media Web ServicesG. Maria Kalavathy, P. SeethalakshmiProblem statement: As distributed real-time multimedia services are accessed by users from different locations, the run-time performance must be managed and monitored to get a clear view of how media web services perform within their operational environments and to perform control actions to modify and adjust the their behavior. Otherwise it will provide negative effects on the reputation of service … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Reliability and Productivity of an Aluminum Extruder by Implementation of Direct Torque Control TechnologyMazouz A. SalahatProblem statement: The linear motor drive is widely used in driving an extrusion puller in an aluminum extrusion industry. The main disadvantage of this drive is manual and step-wise torque control. This research was done to replace the linear motor drive by AC drive with direct torque control technology. Approach: Mathematical calculations were carried to select an AC drive which … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMining Functional Dependency from Relational Databases Using Equivalent Classes and Minimal CoverJalal Atoum, Dojanah Bader, Arafat AwajanData Mining (DM) represents the process of extracting interesting and previously unknown knowledge from data. This study proposes a new algorithm called FD_Discover for discovering Functional Dependencies (FDs) from databases. This algorithm employs some concepts from relational databases design theory specifically the concepts of equivalences and the minimal cover. It has resulted in large improvement in performance in comparison with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,879 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGamma Radiosensitivity Study on Chili (Capsicum annuum)Shairul Rizdiyandi Omar, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Shaharudin Saamin, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidInduced mutation by gamma irradiation has been found to be a very useful technique for crop improvement. Apart from this, the proper use of induced mutation in plant breeding has become a profitable approach. This investigation was carried out to determine the LD50 and effect of gamma rays on germination, plant height, survival percentage, root length, root dry weight and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on the Influence of Various Blade Outlet Angles in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous FluidsM.H.S. Fard, F.A. BoyaghchiIn this study the centrifugal pump performances with different blade outlet angles are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this study shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flows inside the centrifugal pump with different blade outlet angles. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,709 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSUPER RESOLUTION FOR EGYPTSAT-1 IMAGES WITH ERRATIC SHIFTA. H. Nasr, Gh.S. El-Tawel, A. K. HelmyThe key point of the Super-Resolution (SR) process is the accurate registration of the low resolution images, i.e., accurate measuring of the fixed shift between them, to obtain high resolution image. Due to certain malfunction, some Egyptsat-1 images have inconsistent sub-pixel shift. Therefore, in this study we propose a methodology to use this kind of shift for reconstructing a SR … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
