Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetention Pond Sediment Accumulation Prediction using Monte Carlo SimulationSupiah Shamsudin, Abd Rashid Mohd Darom, Irma Norazurah Mohamad, Azmi Ab RahmanProblem statement: A study in Malaysia had been carried out to predict the sediment accumulation in urban detention ponds. Suspended sediment is pollutant of primary concern to the river that results in adverse environmental effect. Detention pond becomes a practical approach to this problem. Suspended sediment that settled in stormwater detention pond, can bring effect to the detention pond functions. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,528 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSilicone Modeling of the Interior Spaces of Hollow Organs: Use in Dog and Manatee Respiratory Tract and in a Beef HeartCharles J. Grossman, Richard Hamilton, Lisa A. Close-Jacob et al.Problem statement: The mechanism, by which the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) vocalizes, remains unknown because the manatee larynx does not contain true vocal cords. Since sound can be generated when air passes through a narrow respiratory structure we needed to visualize the internal anatomy of manatee respiratory tract to locate any candidate regions for study. Approach: To visualize the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 7,803 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlgorithm Development for Measurement and Prediction the Traffic in Broad Band Integrated Service NetworksMohammad Al Rawajbeh, Ibrahim Mansi, Majed HussienProblem statement: In this study an effort had been made to develop an algorithm for traffic prediction and measurement for a wide use networks such as B-ISDN. Such algorithm should base on valuable parameters during the various stages of data elements transmission. The offered algorithm was expected to enforce the main sources of congestion problem in network. With this technique … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 10 Aug 2010 · 7,481 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Algorithmic Cost Estimation Model Based on Soft Computing TechniqueIman Attarzadeh, Siew Hock OwProblem statement: Software development effort estimation is the process of predicting the most realistic use of effort required for developing software based on some parameters. It has always characterized one of the biggest challenges in Computer Science for the last decades. Because time and cost estimate at the early stages of the software development are the most difficult to obtain … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,927 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of the COCOMO Model Parameters Using Genetic Algorithms for NASA Software ProjectsAlaa F. ShetaDefining the project estimated cost, duration and maintenance effort early in the development life cycle is a valuable goal to be achieved for software projects. Many model structures evolved in the literature. These model structures consider modeling software effort as a function of the developed line of code (DLOC). Building such a function helps project managers to accurately allocate the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 9,357 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Fund Risk Management by Using New Software Tools TechnologyStephanos Papadamou, George StephanidesThis paper introduces a new MATLAB-based toolbox for Computer Aided mutual fund risk evaluation. In the age of computerized trading, financial services companies and independent investors must quickly investigate fund investment style and market risk. The Fund Risk toolbox is a financial software that includes a set of functions based on value at risk (VaR) and expected tail loss (ETL) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,817 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Rigorous Mathematical Approach for Petrophysical Properties EstimationDario VibertiProblem statement: Over the last few decades, the oil industry has shown a growing interest in the new risk analysis methodologies aimed at the evaluation of the uncertainties associated with reservoir exploitation. In particular, the effort is made to take all possible sources of uncertainties into account so that not only the strengths but also the potential weaknesses of each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,976 accessesView PDF Cite
