Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards a Scalable File System on Computer Clusters Using DeclusteringVu Anh Nguyen, Samuel Pierre, Dougoukolo KonaréThis study addresses the scalability issues involving file systems as critical components of computer clusters, especially for commercial applications. Given that wide striping is an effective means of achieving scalability as it warrants good load balancing and allows node cooperation, we choose to implement a new data distribution scheme in order to achieve the scalability of computer clusters. We suggest … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Fuzzy Neural Networks for the Detection of Tumors in Medical ImagesN. Benamrane, A. Freville, R. NekkacheIn this study, we propose an approach to detect suspect zones or tumors in medical images. The idea is to define with precision the existence of different kinds of lesions using a hybrid system, which combines Fuzzy Neural Networks and Expert System. After applying a method of image segmentation to extract regions (by region growing algorithm or by mathematical morphology … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterest-based Recommendation in Digital LibraryYan Yang, Jian Zhong LiWith the huge amount and large variety of information available in a digital library, it’s becoming harder and harder for users to identify and get hold of their interested documents. To alleviate the difficulty, personalized recommendation techniques have been developed. Current recommendation techniques rely on similarity between documents. In our work, recommendations are made based on three factors: similarity between … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExplicit Finite Difference Solution of Heat Transfer Problems of Fish Packages in PrecoolingA. S. Mokhtar, K. A. Abbas, M.M.H. Megat Ahmad et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized explicit finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure heat transfer from the surfaces of Pangasius Sutchi fish samples suddenly exposed to a cooling environment. Regular shaped packages in the form of an infinite slab were considered and a generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form. An accurate sample … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Morphometric Traits to Estimate Live Body Weight of South African Bapedi SheepThabang Sako, Jones Ng’ambi, Thomas Raphulu et al.This study was carried out for the estimation of Body Weight (BW) of bapedi sheep from Body Length (BL), Sterna Height (SH), Heart Girth (HG), Height at Withers (WH), Rump Height (RH) and Head Length (HL). Correlation and regression were used. Correlation displayed that body weight is highly positively associated (p<0.01) with WH and HG in males while for females, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 26 Jun 2024 · 5,651 accessesView PDFCite
