Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Merged DSP Microcontroller for Embedded Systems using Discrete Orthogonal TransformA. K. Rath, P. K. MeherIn this paper we have proposed the design of a DSP microcontroller where the processor load is significantly reduced by relegating the math-intensive DSP algorithm to dedicated transform computing modules. It is shown that the use of such transform modules will facilitate scalability, reusability and flexibility for implementation of wide varieties of DSP functionalities. Moreover, it would be possible to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Filtering Algorithm for Duplicate Document Based on Concept AnalysisAhmad M. HasnahData bases and web pages contain currently a huge number of duplicate document. It is then fundamental to have a filter which can be embedded, for instance, within an information retrieval system like a search engine in order to prohibit the redundant documents references to appear on the screen as a reply to the user's query. This filter can save … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of an Automatic Blast Furnace through Integrated Simulation ModelingAli Azadeh, S. F. GhaderiThe objective of this study was to develop an integrated simulation model of an automatic blast furnace in a full-scale steelmaking factory. The integrated simulation model introduces a set of optimizing alternatives through sensitivity analysis. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the blast furnace workshop. The workshop is composed two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Maintenance Scheduler for Near Optimum Utilization of Oil TanksFawaz S. Al-Anzi, Khaled Al-ZamelDue to the entry of Kuwait into WTO and the expected liberalization of petroleum management, the oil market is to become more competitive. However, the space limitation and public increasing awareness of environmental protection issues and stricter regulation passed by Environmental Public Authority (EPA) in Kuwait make the need for full utilization of oil tanks a prime requirement of a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,515 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExergoeconomic Analysis of a Refrigeration CycleDurriye Bilge, Galip TemirThe exergoeconomic theory is applied to a two stage vapour compression refrigeration cycle. An exergy-aided cost analysis, taking into account pressure drops and heat gain/loss for all of the components in the refrigeration system as well as the pipe connections, has been made. Exergoeconomic factors, showing whether the monetary expenditures mostly originate from capital investment and Operating and Maintenance (O&M) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA COMBINTORIAL TREE BASED FREQUENT PATTERN MININGN. Yamuna Devi, J. Devi ShreeFrequent pattern mining is a process of extracting frequently occurring itemset patterns from very large data storages. These frequent patterns are used to generate association rules which define the relationship among items. The strength of the relationship can be measured using two different units namely support value and confidence level. Any relationship that satisfies minimum threshold of support value is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 23 Jun 2014 · 6,804 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 · 7,512 accessesView PDFCite
