Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Distributed Control System Using a Personal Computer and Micro Control Units for Humanoid RobotsMitsuhiro Yamano, Akihiro Ochiai, Yuichi Suzukawa et al.Problem statement: Humanoid robots have many motors and sensors and many control methods are used to carry out complicated tasks of the robots. Therefore, efficient control systems are required for the robots. Approach: This study presented a distributed control system using a Personal Computer (PC) and Micro Control Units (MCUs) for humanoid robots. Distributed control systems have the advantages that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,525 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredictors of Technology Deployment Among Malaysian TeachersNaresh Kumar, Raduan Che Rose, Jeffrey Lawrence D’SilvaTechnologies advocate researchers had identified a number of factors that affect individual teachers' usage of computers. Nevertheless mix results were reported in literature. Hence, this study used personal characteristics and the technology acceptance constructs to understand the Actual Usage of Computer (AUC) among Malaysian teachers. The final model derived from this study was able to explain and predict approximately 54.5% … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,031 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparedness for the Introduction of E-learning in Higher Education-The Case of OmanZ. A. Al-Khanjari, N. S. Kutti, A. S.S. DorvloThe use of Web-based instruction (WBI) and with the availability of well-structured Course Management Tools there seems to be a prospectus of improving both the classroom and distance educations using e-Learning principle[1,2]. As the instructor community plays a central role in all education processes we are motivated to study the level of their cooperation with respect to applying WBI through … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,368 accessesView PDF Cite
