Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAquaculture Industry Potential and Issues: A Case from Cage Culture System Entrepreneurs: Suggestions for Intensification of Aquaculture IndustryA. N. Ahmad Faiz, I. Khairuddin, U. Jegak et al.Problem statement: Cage culture has become a popular aquaculture system nowadays. In the recent statistics provided by DOF, the cage culture system has generated almost USD 400 m (RM 1.39 b) of income per year. In order to further intensify this economic activity the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry (MOA) through the DOF has zoned the aquaculture industry via … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAuthentic Assessment and Pedagogical Strategies in Higher EducationChan Yuen Fook, Gurnam Kaur SidhuProblem statement: Researchers have noted that there is a mismatch between curriculum content and assessment practices in higher education. At the moment, the focus is still on the assessment of learning and not much on assessment for learning. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the implementation of authentic assessment in higher education in Malaysia. Approach: The study employed a … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 17,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Palm Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Concrete Crushed BrickMahyuddin Ramli, Eethar Thanoon DawoodProblem statement: Researches has been conducted worldwide on a large number of natural or artificial lightweight aggregates. In spite of many of the researches of using natural fibers show considerable promise, the use of natural fibers to improve the properties of lightweight concrete still required to be a subject of further research and investigation. Approach: This experimental investigation was carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrade Relationship between Oman and Its Major Trading Asian PartnersAbdusalam F. YahiaProblem statement: No empirical research exists that examines the interdependence of trade between Oman and its five major trading Asian partners (Emirates, Japan, South-Korea, Thailand and Mainland China). This study attempted to fill this gap in the literature by examining the interaction of trade between Oman and its major trading Asian partner. Particularly, this study attempted to answer the very … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardware Implementation of Truncated Multipliers Using Spartan-3AN, Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 FPGA DevicesMuhammad H. RaisProblem statement: The development cost for Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) are high, algorithms should be verified and optimized before implementation. The Digital Signal Processing (DSP), image processing and multimedia requires extensive use of multiplication. The truncated multipliers can easily be implemented using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices. Approach: This research presented the comparative study of Spartan-3AN, Virtex-4 and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Diagnosis Knowledge Building by Using CUC-C4.5 FrameworkKusrini, Sri Hartati, Retantyo Wardoyo, Agus HarjokoProblem statement: The Case Based Reasoning (CBR) method can be implemented in differential diagnosis analysis. C4.5 algorithm has been commonly used to help the method's knowledge building process. This process is completed by constructing decision tree from previously handled cases data. The C4.5 algorithm itself can be used with an assumption that all the cases has an exact and equal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Solution Methodology of Bi-Level Linear Programming Based on Genetic AlgorithmM. S. Osman, W.F. Abd El-Wahed, Mervat M.K. El Shafei, Hanaa B. Abd El WahabProblem statement: We deal with the bi-level linear programming problem. A bi-level programming problem is formulated for a problem in which two Decision-Makers (DMs) make decisions successively. Approach: In this research we studied and designs a Genetic Algorithm (GA) of Bi-Level Linear Programming Problems (BLPP) by constructing the fitness function of the upper-level programming problems based on the definition of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInitial Hybrid Method for Analyzing Software Estimation, Benchmarking and Risk Assessment Using Design of SoftwareJ. Frank Vijay, C. ManoharanProblem statement: Estimation models in software engineering are used to predict some important attributes of future entities such as development effort, software reliability and programmers productivity. Among these models, those estimating software effort have motivated considerable research in recent years. Approach: In this study we discussed an available work on the effort estimation methods and also proposed a hybrid method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Survey of Compute Intensive Algorithms for Ribo Nucleic Acids Structural DetectionRa’ed Al-Khatib, Rosni Abdullah, Nur’Aini Abdul RashidProblem statement: Finding an accurate RNA structural alignment from primary sequence due to it is time consuming and computationally NP-hard problem is a major bioinformatics challenge. According to our investigation majority of current researches were concerned on achieving faster execution time, improving space complexity and better cache management. Recently one research introduced cache-efficient Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) algorithms with good speed-up … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPersonal Computer Based Clinical Programming Software for Auditory ProsthesesK. Rajakumar, P. Seetha RamaiahAuditory Prostheses (AP) are widely used electronic devices for patients suffering with severe to profound senosorineural deafness by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve using an electrode array surgically placed in the inner ear. AP mainly contains external Body Worn Speech Processor (BWSP) and internal Implantable Receiver Stimulator (IRS). BWSP receives an external sound or speech and generates encoded speech data … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,906 accessesView PDFCite
