Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Families of Curves in the Euclidian PlanBelaib Lekhmissi, Bouarroudj Nadra, Hocine El HabibNon-standard analysis techniques are more considered in approaching complex mathematical domains. By using some concepts of non-standard analysis methods such as regionalization method, we deal with a family of curves in an Euclidian plan. The solutions of the algebraic equations representing these curves in a plan have an hyperbolic forms. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Comparison Between Evolutionary Algorithm and Barycenter Heuristic for the Bipartite Drawing ProblemZoheir EzzianeThis research investigates the use of intelligent techniques for the bipartite drawing problem (BDP). Due to the combinatorial nature of the solution space, the use of traditional search methods lead to exponential time. Hence, the aim of this paper is to speed up the search time when solving the BDP through the use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) and Barycenter Heuristic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Hierarchical Diff-EDF Schedulability over Heterogeneous Real-Time Packet NetworksMoutaz Saleh, Zulaiha Ali OthmanPacket networks are currently enabling the integration of traffic with a wide range of characteristics that extend from video traffic with stringent QoS requirements to the best-effort traffic requiring no guarantees. QoS guarantees can be provided in conventional packet networks by the use of proper packet scheduling algorithms. As a computer revolution, many scheduling algorithms have been proposed to provide … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Fabrication, and Testing of a Membrane Piezoelectric Tactile Sensor with Four Sensing ElementsAshkan Mirbagheri, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheWe presented design, fabrication, and testing of a novel membrane tactile sensing system with only four sensing elements. By using membrane stress combined with triangulation approach, it was possible to overcome the problems such as cross-talk between sensing elements, fragility, and complexity. The fabrication of the sensing elements performed using photolithographic and etching techniques. Position, orientation, and magnitude of applied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Reservoir Operation Using Combined Genetic Algorithm and Wavelet Transform MethodL. Ebrahimi, G.A. Barani, H. EbrahimiDams construction are high cost projects, and therefore, optimal using of reservoir storages behind dams is an important task in water resources management. In last decades, various optimization techniques have been used for reservoir operation. Among the new methods, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and wavelet transform (WT) have been widely used in recent years. In this study, GA as well as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Algorithm for Capacitated Multifacility Location ProblemsChansiri Singhtaun, Peerayuth CharnsethikulIn this paper, a squared-Euclidean distance multifacility location problem with inseparable demands under balanced transportation constraints is analyzed. Using calculus to project the problem onto the space of allocation variables, the problem becomes minimizing concave quadratic integer programming problem. The algorithm based on extreme point ranking method combining with logical techniques is developed. The numerical experiments are randomly generated to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solutions of the Multispecies Predator-Prey Model by Variational Iteration MethodKhaled BatihaThe main objective of the current work was to solve the multispecies predator-prey model. The techniques used here were called the variational iteration method (VIM) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The advantage of this work is twofold. Firstly, the VIM reduces the computational work. Secondly, in comparison with existing techniques, the VIM is an improvement with regard to its … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoving Useless Productions of a Context Free Grammar through Petri NetMansoor Al-A'ali, Ali A. KhanFollowing the proposal for a Petri Net (PN) representation of the Context Free Grammar (CFG)[1], we propose in this paper, an algorithm to eliminate the useless productions of CFG. First the CFG is represented by a PN. Then, based on the reachability, an algorithm is developed to eliminate Useless-productions. The algorithm is analyzed and implemented in Pascal using examples of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPre-editing and Recursive-Phrase Composites for a Better English-to-Arabic Machine TranslationMansoor Al-A'aliThis research presents an approach for an English-to-Arabic Machine Translation System based on Building correct grammar and phrase structures first and then automatically deriving Translation Rules for phrase translation. For every English phrase, the grammar is first analysed and then a corresponding Arabic translation is given which would be used by the machine learning system to produce a translation rule … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRainfall Depth-Duration-Frequency Relationships for South Carolina, North Carolina, and GeorgiaJ. P. Raiford, N.M. Aziz, A.A. Khan, D.N. PowellThe depth-duration-frequency curves and isopluvial maps for the region encompassing South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia were developed using the available rainfall data. The aim was to update the existing intensity-duration-frequency curves in the region and obtain these curves at ungauged sites throughout the region using the newly developed rainfall frequency analysis techniques. A total of 17 durations ranging from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,330 accessesView PDFCite
