Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural Networks Based Time-Delay Estimation using DCT CoefficientsSamir J. Shaltaf, Ahmad A. MohammadThis study dealt with the problem of estimating constant time delay embedded into a received signal that was noisy, delayed and damped image of a known reference signal. The received signal was filtered, normalized with respect to the peak value it achieved and then transformed by the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) into DCT coefficients. Those DCT coefficients that were most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,479 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Latitudinal, Seasonal and Diurnal Comparisons in Thyroid Hormone Concentrations in Sled DogsKriya L. Dunlap, Arleigh J. Reynolds, Kent R. Refsal et al.Problem Statement: Hypothyroidism has been a common disorder in humans and dogs. Amongst a sundry of functions, the thyroid gland plays a key role in metabolism and consequently, hypothyroidism has been a common diagnosis for a decrease in performance in sled dogs. Research has indicated that a variety of environmental factors influence thyroid hormone production, of which, light exposure, climate, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Beam with Externally Bonded Fibre Reinforcement Polymer ReinforcementN. Pannirselvam, P.N. Raghunath, K. SugunaThis research study presents the evaluation of the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams with externally bonded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcements. Three different steel ratios with two different Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) types and two different thicknesses in each type of GFRP were used. Totally fifteen rectangular beams of 3 m length were cast. Three rectangular beams were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,480 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEPENDABILITY ATTRIBUTES FOR INCREASED SECURITY IN COMPONENT-BASED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTHasan Kahtan, Nordin Abu Bakar, Rosmawati NordinExisting software applications become increasingly distributed as their continuity and lifetimes are lengthened; consequently, the users’ dependence on these applications is increased. The security of these applications has become a primary concern in their design, construction and evolution. Thus, these applications give rise to major concerns on the capability of the current development approach to develop secure systems. Component-Based Software … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 7,797 accessesView PDF Cite
