Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncorporation of Cellulose into a Chew Treat for Dogs Increases Elasticity and Chewing TimeA. C. BeynenProblem statement: We have reported earlier that administration of a treat containing a special cellulose preparation (Arbocel BWW40®), instead of a control treat without cellulose, diminishes the clinical signs of periodontal disease in dogs. Based on the physical characteristics of cellulose preparation, we hypothesized that treats with cellulose have greater elasticity and induce longer chewing time, leading to more mechanical … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 20 Oct 2011 · 7,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical Model for Determining Human Susceptibility to Dengue FeverSurapol Naowarat, Thanon Korkiatsakul, I. Ming TangProblem statement: Mathematical models are a useful tool for understanding and describing the transmission of diseases such as dengue fever, one of the most prevalently emerging diseases common to tropical and subtropical areas throughout South East Asia. By taking into account human susceptibility to disease, the dynamics of a dengue disease model is proposed. Approach: Using standard methods for analyzing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2011 · 7,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Mechanism Control Algorithm for Wired NetworkV. B. Kirubanand, S. PalaniammalProblem statement: A critical issue in wireless network where the data can hack by the person and we add a novel encryption mechanism to protect the data transfer from client to server and vice versa. Approach: We present a queuing model of a client and server that uses for bulk arrival service. The arrival of data requests is assumed to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 27 Jul 2011 · 6,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHighway Traffic Incident Detection using High-Resolution Aerial Remote Sensing ImagerySeyed Mostafa Mousavi Kahaki, Md. Jan NordinProblem statement: As vehicle population increases, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) become more significant and mandatory in today’s overpopulated world. Vital problems in transportation such as mobility and safety of transportation are considered more, especially in metropolitans and highways. The main road traffic monitoring aims are: the acquisition and analysis of traffic figures, such as number of vehicles, incident detection and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighted Kernel Density Estimation of the Prepulse Inhibition TestHongbo Zhou, Qiang Cheng, Hong-Ju Yang, Haiyun XuProblem statement: The goal of this study was to devise a more reliable and sensitive method for analysis of experimental data of the Prepulse Inhibition (PPI), the reduction in startle reaction towards a startle-eliciting “pulse” stimulus when it is shortly preceded by a sub-threshold “prepulse” stimulus. Approach: Different from the conventional simple averaging-based method, we proposed a probabilistic approach to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach for 3D Range Image Segmentation using Gradient MethodDina A. Hafiz, Walaa M. Sheta, Sahar Bayoumi, Bayumy A.B. YoussefProblem statement: Segmentation of 3D range images is widely used in computer vision as an essential pre-processing step before the methods of high-level vision can be applied. Segmentation aims to study and recognize the features of range image such as 3D edges, connected surfaces and smooth regions. Approach: This study presents new improvements in segmentation of terrestrial 3D range images … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 19,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Pathogenic Microorganisms during Atmospheric Tempestat North AfricaU. Ali RahomaProblem statement: Dust continued to blow across northern Africa and the Mediterranean Sea on March 3, 2005. Many sources are associated with areas where human impacts are well documented. Approach: Nonetheless, the largest and most active sources are located in truly remote areas where there is little or no human activity. Dust activity is extremely sensitive to many environmental parameters. … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2011 · 7,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective Queue Management Scheme for Data CommunicationSheela Thavasi, Nityanandam NatarajanProblem statement: The growth in the needs of Internet applications that transmit massive amount of data has led to the emergence of Effective Queue Management. Approach: Queues were used to smooth spikes in incoming packet rates and to allow the router sufficient time for packet processing. When the waiting time is less a better queue management is ensured thereby resulting … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractColored Image Compression Using Gradient Adjustment Prediction Based WaveletMuna Faik Hanoon Al-SammraieProblem statement: Uncompressed graphics, audio and video data require considerable storage capacity and transmission bandwidth. Despite rapid progress in mass-storage density, processor speeds and digital communication system performance, demand for data storage capacity and data transmission bandwidth continues to outstrip the capabilities of available technologies. The recent growth of data intensive digital audio, image and video (multimedia) based web applications, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,312 accessesView PDFCite
