Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluating E-learning Programs: An Adaptation of Kirkpatrick's Model to Accommodate E-learning EnvironmentsThair M. HamtiniProblem Statement: Kirkpatrick's model for the evaluation of training programs has been a staple in institutional learning since 1959 and is easily applicable to any training program. Approach: This model, however, was developed for traditional learning environments and has been regarded as antiquated, especially when one took into consideration the fact that institutional learning has increasingly taken on the form … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Secure Protocol Based on a Sedentary Agent for Mobile Agent EnvironmentsAbdelmorhit E. Rhazi, Samuel Pierre, Hanifa BouchenebThe main challenge when deploying mobile agent environments pertains to security issues concerning mobile agents and their executive platform. This paper proposes a secure protocol which protects mobile agents against attacks from malicious hosts in these environments. Protection is based on the perfect cooperation of a sedentary agent running inside a trusted third host. Results show that the protocol detects … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Effective Key Management Approach to Differential Access Control in Dynamic EnvironmentsYogesh Karandikar, Xukai Zou, Yuanshun DaiApplications like e-newspaper or interactive online gaming have more than one resource and a large number of users. There is a many-to-many relationship between users and resources; each user can access multiple resources and multiple users can access each resource. The resources are independent and each resource needs to be encrypted by a different Resource Encryption Key (REK). Each REK … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOsmotic Tension, Plasticization and Viscoelastic response of amorphous Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) equilibrated in humid environmentsAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioDynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and water moisture sorption-desorption kinetics and equilibria have been parallely investigated to monitoring the environmental and thermal sensitivity of amorphous thermoplastic Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK). Morphological modification occurring in PEEK during the calorimetric and thermo-mechanical characterizations and the hygrothermal stability are presented. An interpretation based on the free energy of mixing of a polymer chains … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2016 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFeature Extraction Method for Improving Speech Recognition in Noisy EnvironmentsYoussef Zouhir, Kaïs OuniThe paper presents a feature extraction method, named as Normalized Gammachirp Cepstral Coefficients (NGCC) that incorporates the properties of the peripheral auditory system to improve robustness in noisy speech recognition. The proposed method is based on a second order low-pass filter and normalized gammachirp filterbank to emulate the mechanisms performed in the outer/middle ear and cochlea. The speech recognition performance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2016 · 7,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePath Loss Measurements for Wireless Communication in Urban and Rural EnvironmentsYahia Zakaria, Jiri Hosek, Jiri MisurecPath loss models are useful planning tools that allow the designers of wireless communication networks to achieve optimal levels for the base station deployment and meeting the expected service level requirements. In this study various propagation models (COST 231 Walfisch-Ikegami W-I, Ericsson and Stanford University Interim SUI) are analyzed and compared with the measurements. The measured data were taken in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 16 Apr 2015 · 7,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGreen Environments and their Effect Upon Hospital UsersCarol A. Haigh, Gary Witham, Jessica Thompson, Hilary WoodWhilst there is significant academic and health care opinion is that green space both in and outside of institutions is both beneficial and desirable for hospital patients and workers, there is little in the literature to suggest that patients and staff recognise or identify 'good' and 'bad' natural environments. This study reports an exploration of the green environment around a … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 19 Jan 2015 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance Evaluation of Probabilistic Relay in Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector and Ad Hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector Under Highly Dynamic EnvironmentsRadityo Anggoro, Teruaki Kitasuka, Ryoji Nakamura, Masayoshi AritsugiVehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are a specific class of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Since vehicles tend to move in a high speed, the network topology is rapidly changed. Thus vehicle’s connectivity problem is one of the interesting issues in VANETs. Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) is an extended version of ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV). … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 22 Jun 2013 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
