Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTaxonomically Clustering Organisms Based on the Profiles of Gene Sequences Using PCAE. Ramaraj, M. PunithavalliThe biological implications of bioinformatics can already be seen in various implementations. Biological taxonomy may seem like a simple science in which the biologists merely observe similarities among organisms and construct classifications according to those similarities[1], but it is not so simple. By applying data mining techniques on gene sequence database we can cluster the data to find interesting similarities … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,753 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMining Level-Crossing Association Rules from Large DatabasesR. S. Thakur, R. C. Jain, K. R. PardasaniExisting algorithms for mining association rule at multiple concept level, restricted mining strong association among the concept at same level of a hierarchy. However mining level-crossing association rule at multiple concept level may lead to the discovery of mining strong association among at different level of hierarchy. In this study, a top-down progressive deepening method is developed for mining level-crossing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRedundancy Schemes for High Availability Computer ClustersChristian K. Bassek, Samuel Pierre, Alejandro QuinteroThe primary goal of computer clusters is to improve computing performances by taking advantage of the parallelism they intrinsically provide. Moreover, their use of redundant hardware components enables them to offer high availability services. In this paper, we present an analytical model for analyzing redundancy schemes and their impact on the cluster’s overall performance. Furthermore, several cluster redundancy techniques are … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVAR-models for Predicting BiodiversityTonio D. Bettista, S. A. Gattone, Mariagrzia GranturcoThe aim of this work is to introduce a methodology for monitoring diversity of a biological population by using the tool of diversity profiles. In particular, we develop a theory for studying the diversity profile along the temporal axis. We propose forecasting techniques for diversity profile by using the VAR model on multivariate time series of abundance vector and ARMA … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoosted Regression Estimates of Spatial Data: Pointwise InferenceMarco Di Marzio, Charles C. TaylorIn this study simple nonparametric techniques have been adopted to estimate the trend surface of the Swiss rainfall data. In particular we employed the Nadaraya-Watson smoother and in addition, an adapted-by boosting-version of it. Additionally, we have explored the use of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator for the construction of pointwise confidence intervals. Overall, boosting does seem to improve the estimate as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Neural Network to Recognize the Parts of the Computer MotherboardAbbas M. Ali, S. D. Gore, Musaab AL-SarierahThis study suggests a new approach of learning which utilizes the techniques of computer vision to recognize the parts inside the motherboard. The main thrust is to identify different parts of the motherboard using a Hopfield Neural Network. The outcome of the net is compared with the objects stored in the database. The proposed scheme is implemented using bottom -up … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,871 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeta Architecting: Towered a New Generation of Architecture Description LanguagesAdel Smeda, Tahar Khammaci, Mourad OussalahThe techniques of meta-modeling and meta-levels have become a mature concept and have been largely used to solve real problems in programming languages, distributed environments, knowledge representation, or data bases. In this article it is shown how the same techniques can be applied in component-based software architecture. It also shown the need to propose mechanisms of reflexivity within the domain … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Performance of a Solar Heat Storage Accumulator Used For Greenhouses ConditioningMejdi Hazami, Sami Kooli, Meriam Lazaar et al.The use of solar energy for greenhouse heating has gained an increasing acceptance during the last years. Active solar systems applied to greenhouses can supply a significant part of the heating requirements. However, there are some problems related to the cost of the heat collection unit and the heat storage methods. In this context several techniques were born.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Detection using Circular Hough TransformMohamed Rizon, Haniza Yazid, Puteh Saad et al.In this study we propose a new system to detect the object from an input image. The proposed system first uses the separability filter proposed by Fukui and Yamaguchi (Trans. IEICE Japan J80-D-II. 8, 2170-2177, 1997) to obtain the best object candidates and next, the system uses the Circular Hough Transform (CHT) to detect the presence of circular shape.
