Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScheduling Jobs through Gap Filling and Optimization Techniques in Computational GridOmar Dakkak, Shahrudin Awang Nor, Suki ArifDue to the heterogeneity and complexity in grid computing, classical algorithms may not be able to deal with dynamic jobs properly. In the dynamic mode, incoming jobs reach the scheduler arbitrary. Therefore, scheduling the jobs using simple policy alone deteriorates the performance of the scheduler. Thus, a policy that can handle the dynamicity efficiently is indispensable. This paper presents the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 17 May 2017 · 7,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandomized Pixel Selection for Enhancing LSB Algorithm Security against Brute-Force AttackAmmar Y. Tuama, Mohamad A. Mohamed, Abdullah Muhammed, Zurina M. HanapiSteganography is the science of concealing a secret message by embedding it into innocent carriers such as text, audio, images, etc. It plays a crucial role in a broad range of security applications such as securing message exchange, user authentication and copyrighting. One of the most effortless and widely-used techniques is the age-old Least Significant Bits (LSB) algorithm, which can … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 16 May 2017 · 7,448 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterminants Factors of Agricultural Extension Services Performance and Impacts on Farmers' BehaviorMuh. Hatta Jamil, Amri Jahi, Muhammad Arsyad et al.Agricultural extension plays an important role in improving the quality of human resources, also it function as a learning process for the main actors so that farmer will be able to help and organize themselves in accessing market information, technology, capital and other resources. Problem that arise among stakeholders have been widely debated. Since then, determinant factor of Agricultural Extension … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 2 Feb 2017 · 8,791 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractExamination of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in Term of Maynard's Operation Sequence Technique (MOST)Puvanasvaran A. Perumal, Ito Teruaki, Teoh Yong Siang, Yoong Sai SiengIt is a common practice to quantify any process or entire production line in manufacturing industry especially to measure three main losses named time losses, performance losses and quality defect exist in production. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) fulfils the requirement by providing the measure of equipment via single measure which is monitored from time to time by responsible personnel so … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 15 Nov 2016 · 8,014 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractImpacts of Biogas Digestate on Crop Production and the Environment: A Bulgarian Case StudyNicholas Kathijotes, Vera Petrova, Elena Zlatareva et al.The water-energy nexus reveals that large amounts of energy is stored in used water and can be used as an energy source. Anaerobic fermentation is an excellent ecological waste treatment and a way of producing low cost electrical and thermal energy. By using digestate resulting from biogas production instead of synthetic fertilizers derived from natural gas, we can save energy, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 May 2015 · 7,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProposal of a Genome Editing System for Genetic Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt VirusFederico Martinelli, Giovanni Grillone, Filippo SgroiViruses provoke considerable economical losses in agriculture. New molecular approaches to develop genetic resistance based on translational genomics and precision genetic modifications are highly expected. The type II Clustered, Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) system including Cas9 nuclease represent a promising and very powerful tool to specifically modulate the expression and activity of genes involved in biotic stress responses. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,689 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFUZZY SHRINK IMAGE DENOISING USING SMOOTHING SPLINE ESTIMATIONG.M. Rajathi, R. Rangarajan, R. Haripriya, R. NithyaThe image data is normally corrupted by additive noise during acquisition. This reduces the accuracy and reliability of any automatic analysis. For this reason, denoising methods are often applied to restore the original image. In proposed method a wavelet shrinkage algorithm based on fuzzy logic and the DT-DWT scheme is used. In particular, intra-scale dependency within wavelet coefficients is modeled … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 9 Jul 2014 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPROCESSES OF REFORMING TEACHER TRAINING IN MODERN RUSSIA (EXPERIENCE OF THE KAZAN FEDERAL UNIVERSITY)Kalimullin Ajdar MinimansurovichTwo main approaches to reforming teacher training are discussed in today’s educational system of Russia. One of them substantiates the need to update traditional for the Soviet time model of teacher training in colleges of education, while the other proves the possibility of a considerable improvement in quality of this process in conditions of classic universities, which in principle is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 28 May 2014 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPLANT RECOGNITION USING STEREO LEAF IMAGE USING GRAY-LEVEL CO-OCCURRENCE MATRIXHermawan Syahputra, Agus Harjoko, Retantyo Wardoyo, Reza PulunganAdequate knowledge, such as information about the unique characteristics of each plant, is necessary to identify plant. Researchers have made plant recognition based on leaf characteristics. The leaf image-based plant recognition in view of different angles is a new challenge. In this study, the research on the plant recognition was conducted based on leaf images resulted from 3D stereo camera. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2013 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENERGY EFFICIENT AND INTERFERENCE AWARE PROVISIONING IN VIRTUALIZED SERVER CLUSTER ENVIRONMENTMohan Raj Velayudhan Kumar, Shriram RaghunathanIT service providers, employ server virtualization as a main building block to improve system utilization, improve system manageability, reduce operational costs which includes energy consumption driving economies of scale with shared resources.
