Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSUPERVISED TERM WEIGHTING METHODS FOR URL CLASSIFICATIONR. RajalakshmiMany term weighting methods are suggested in the literature for Information Retrieval and Text Categorization. Term weighting method, a part of feature selection process is not yet explored for URL classification problem. We classify a web page using its URL alone without fetching its content and hence URL based classification is faster than other methods. In this study, we investigate … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 23 Jun 2014 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF TWISTED RATIO ON FLOW STRUCTURE, HEAT TRANSFER AND THERMAL IMPROVEMENT IN A CIRCULAR TUBE WITH SINGLE TWISTED TAPEWithada Jedsadaratanachai, Amnart BoonloiThe research presents a numerical analysis of laminar fully developed periodic flow and heat transfer in a constant temperature-surfaced circular tube with single twisted tape inserted. The twisted tape is introduced and inserted in the middle of the tested tube. The effects of twisted ratios (y/W = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) are presented for Reynolds number (Re) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HIGH B1 FIELD HOMOGENEITY GENERATION USING FREE ELEMENT ELLIPTICAL FOUR-COIL SYSTEMSidi M. Ahmed Ghaly, Sulaiman S. Al-SowayanDesign and testing of a prototype probe with high B1 magnetic field homogeneity that can be used for MRI is presented. It consists of four coaxial separately tuned rings of wire in a symmetric arrangement on an ellipsoidal surface. Compared to Helmholtz pair, which presents 2nd-order homogeneity, an improvement in field homogeneity is achieved, while preserving the simplicity of implementation. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Jan 2014 · 7,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIT RATE MAXIMIZATION BY LOGICAL CACHE PARTITIONING IN A MULTI-CORE ENVIRONMENTS. Muthukumar, P. K. JawaharIt is imperative for any level of cache memory in a multi-core architecture to have a well defined, dynamic replacement algorithm in place to ensure consistent superlative performance. The most prevalently used LRU replacement policy does not acquaint itself dynamically to the changes in the workload. As a result, it can lead to sub-optimal performance for certain applications whose workloads … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2013 · 6,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlan, do, Study, Act Cycles, as an Alternate to Action Research for Clinically Based InquiryBernadette Ivy Eather, Mary Elizabeth Chiarella, Judith DonoghueAction Research has long been the method of choice when undertaking research in clinical practice improvement. It is a method aimed at engendering ownership by the participants in order to sustain practice change. Plan, Do, Study, Act cycles (PDSA) also provide a cyclical approach to clinical practice improvement research and focus the clinical team around a specific problem. Through focus … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 11 Sep 2013 · 18,433 accessesView PDFCite
