Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Approach to Digital Objects Storage and RetrievalKhalil Shihab, Haider Ramadhan, Nida Al-ChalabiImage retrieval systems are becoming increasingly important in areas of research and commercial use. The storage of digital objects in the traditional databases is considered inadequate because of the extensive precise data required for successful retrieval. In addition, the retrieval process has been implemented using content-based image retrieval (CBIR) that relies on retrieving stored images from a collection by comparing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew RFID System Architectures Supporting Situation Awareness under Ubiquitous EnvironmentsDongwon Jeong, Young-Gab Kim, Hoh InMany sensors providing situation data will be in everywhere under the ubiquitous environment. The current RFID system should be extended to recognize and use situation information from the sensors. This study proposes RFID system architectures that are suitable for the ubiquitous environment. This study applies the situation awareness concept to and extends the current RFID system architecture to be able … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 28 Jul 2006 · 7,047 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Evolution Strategy for the Induction of Fuzzy Finite-state AutomataMozhiwen, WanminThis study presents an evolution strategy used to infer fuzzy finite-state automata from examples of a fuzzy language. We describe the fitness function of an generated automata with respect to a set of examples of a fuzzy language, the representation of the transition of the automata as well as the output of the states in the evolution strategy and the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,699 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating Soil Contamination with Kriging Interpolation MethodFatima Zohra Benmostefa LarguecheThe main objective of this study was to investigate whether Kriging is a useful tool to estimate the spatial distribution of ground pollutants in contaminated land. The second objective of this work was a more practical one. It consists on the identification of areas that should be subjected to remedial actions and also on deciding which contaminant needs to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 8,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Transformation-oriented Methodology to Knowledge-based Conceptual Data Warehouse DesignOpim S. Sitompul, Shahrul A. NoahApplications of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the form of knowledge-based systems within the context of database design have been extensively researched particularly to provide support within the conceptual design phase. However, a similar approach to the task of data warehouse design has yet to be seriously initiated. In this paper, we proposed a design methodology for conceptual data warehouse … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Neural Networks Classifier for Face DetectionF. Smach, M. Atri, J. Mitéran, M. AbidFace detection and recognition has many applications in a variety of fields such as security system, videoconferencing and identification. Face classification is currently implemented in software. A hardware implementation allows real-time processing, but has higher cost and time to-market. The objective of this work was to implement a classifier based on neural networks MLP (Multi-layer Perception) for face detection.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of an Organic Pesticide on Mortality and Learning in Africanized Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.) in BrasilCharles I. Abramson, Jordan B. Singleton, Maritza K. Wilson et al.Seven experiments were conducted. First, the influence of the consumption of different concentrations of the organic pesticide Bioganic® on mortality was assessed at 11 different time intervals in Africanized honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) as was direct application of the pesticide to the abdomen. Results indicated that the pesticide was not lethal to bees regardless of concentration at any intervals … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite
