Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Constraint-Handling Technique for Genetic Algorithms using a Violation FactorAdam Chehouri, Rafic Younes, Jean Perron, Adrian IlincaOver the years, several meta-heuristic algorithms were proposed and are now emerging as common methods for constrained optimization problems. Among them, genetic algorithms (GA’s) shine as popular evolutionary algorithms (EA’s) in engineering optimization. Most engineering design problems are difficult to resolve with conventional optimization algorithms because they are highly nonlinear and contain constraints. In order to handle these constraints, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 31 Aug 2016 · 8,751 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Analysis of In-Band Crosstalk, Out-of-Band Crosstalk and GVD-Based Power Penalties in DWDM and TDM/DWDM-PONSIbrahim Mohamed, Mohammad Syuhaimi Ab-RahmanIn addition to the ever-increasing demand for broader bandwidth per user, which results from the continuous development of new bandwidth-hungry services and applications, the consequent upgrade from the currently deployed Time-Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Networks (TDM-PONs) to Next-Generation Optical Access Networks (NG-OANs) has become inevitable. Different architectures for creating a NG-OAN have been proposed in the literature. Among those architectures, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 May 2015 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Evolving Autoregressive Predictor for Time Series ForecastingDe Z. Li, Wilson Wang, Fathy IsmailAutoregressive (AR) model is a common predictor that has been extensively used for time series forecasting. Many training methods can used to update AR model parameters, for instance, least square estimate and maximum likelihood estimate; however, both techniques are sensitive to noisy samples and outliers. To deal with the problems, an evolving AR predictor, EAR, is developed in this study … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Apr 2015 · 6,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMusharakah Mutanaqisah Partnership in Malaysia’s Islamic Bank: A Comparison Between Theory and PracticeLee Ching LungDiminishing Musharakah Mutanaqisah Partnership (MMP) contract has been offered by Islamic banks in Malaysia, this study aims to presents the result of a comparison made between the theoretical explanations of how the MMP works and what is actually being done in practice. This study makes use of a qualitative approach in analysing how the MMP works in practice. It then … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 12 Feb 2014 · 8,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARISON USING PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR TIMETABLE SCHEDULINGDennise AdriantoLecturer timetable scheduling is an important part in the resource allocation planning. Due to the large amount of transactions and various related constraints have to be taken into account in timetable scheduling process, resource manager team shall need a lot of time to the solve the problem. This research is aimed to discuss the application of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 20 Nov 2013 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRUSTED CLOUD COMPUTING FRAMEWORK FOR HEALTHCARE SECTORMervat Adib Bamiah, Sarfraz Nawaz Brohi, Suriayati Chuprat, Jamalul-lail Ab MananCloud computing is rapidly evolving due to its efficient characteristics such as cost-effectiveness, availability and elasticity. Healthcare organizations and consumers lose control when they outsource their sensitive data and computing resources to a third party Cloud Service Provider (CSP), which may raise security and privacy concerns related to data loss and misuse appealing threats. Lack of consumers’ knowledge about their … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Nov 2013 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBER Performance and Data Throughput of Sinusoidal Template-Based Impulse-Radio Ultra Wideband Receivers for Wireless Body Area NetworksMohamad Abou El-Nasr, Heba ShabanWindowed sinusoidal template-based correlator receivers are good candidates for high-data rate low-power Ultra Wideband (UWB) systems. Their performance approaches the performance of optimal detectors and provides low-power consumption. However, the ultra short pulses of UWB technology makes it sensitive to timing-errors. In this paper, the Bit-Error-Rate (BER) performance and maximum allowable data throughput of Equally-Correlated Pulse Position Modulation (EC-PPM) modulation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 30 May 2013 · 6,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOR/MS Applications in Mt. Merapi Disaster ManagementAmril Aman, Toni Bakhtiar, Farida Hanum, Prapto Tri SupriyoProblem statement: Much of researches on the management of disaster deal with their social aspects such as sociological and psychological effects on communities. Recently there had been a growing credit of the demand for application of the operational research and management science matters in disaster management. This approach commonly utilizes decision theory, dynamical system and optimization technique to minimize the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2012 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Quasi Delay Insensitive Reduced Stack Pre-Charged Half Buffer based High Speed Adder using pipeline templates for Asynchronous CircuitsD. Jayanthi, M. RajaramProblem statement: Recent research in asynchronous design technique is making asynchronous circuits an increasingly practical alternative. These challenges include the increasing pressure for low power, the growing challenges of predicting the increasing impact of wire load and delay and the performance penalty associated with supporting communication between different clock domains Asynchronous is binary signals, but there is no common or … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 7 Jun 2012 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Performance of a Dual Header Pulse Interval Modulation in the Presence of Artificial Light Interferences in an Indoor Optical Wireless Communications Channel with Wavelet DenoisingS. Rajbhandari, Z. Ghassemlooy, M. AngelovaProblem statement: Similar to other baseband modulation schemes, the performance of the Dual Header Pulse Interval Modulation (DH-PIM) is adversely affected by Artificial Light Interferences (ALI) in an indoor Optical Wireless Communications (OWC) channel. Approach: The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) based denoising is studied for reducing the effect of the ALI. Computer simulation is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 18 Jan 2012 · 7,780 accessesView PDFCite
