Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNative Understanding of Participation and Empowerment in Community DevelopmentN. Lyndon, R. Moorthy, A. C. Er, S. SelvaduraiProblem statement: The need for local community is often neglected at macro policy level and it is crucial to engage the native world view. The native view will provide adequate information of the needs and aspirations of the community. The aim of this study is to examine the native understanding of participation and empowerment in community development from the world … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 24 Oct 2011 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractErgodic Capacity Analysis of Multiple Input Multiple Output Systems with Dual Hop Amplify and Forward Relay NetworksC. Poongodi, A. ShanmugamProblem Statement: In MIMO system, capacity mainly depends on the channel and the antenna characteristics. The capacity can be improved by proper design of antenna elements and choosing appropriate array configuration and the directive elements give more capacity than omni directional elements. The dual polarized antennas are better than single polarized antennas as the former can provide two information channels. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 17 Oct 2011 · 6,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Modeled K-Cluster Quality Mining of Hidden Knowledge for Decision SupportS. Parkash Kumar, K. S. RamaswamiProblem statement: The work presented Fuzzy Modeled K-means Cluster Quality Mining of hidden knowledge for Decision Support. Based on the number of clusters, number of objects in each cluster and its cohesiveness, precision and recall values, the cluster quality metrics is measured. The fuzzy k-means is adapted approach by using heuristic method which iterates the cluster to form an efficient … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 24 Aug 2011 · 6,677 accessesView PDFCite

Problem statement: To design and develop a microcontroller-based four fingered robotic hand with a simple and minimal control strategy to pick and place application with object detection … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 6,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Outcome of Conservative Treatment of Closed Fracture Shaft Humerus in Adult PatientsM. Taha MuzahimProblem statement: Fractures of the humeral shaft are commonly encountered by the orthopaedic surgeons; accounting for approximately 3% of all fractures. There is a wide array of good options for their treatment and controversy over the best methods for many situations. Appropriate nonoperative and operative treatment of patients with humeral shaft fractures, however, requires an understanding of humeral anatomy, the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 9 May 2011 · 8,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Monte Carlo Study of Seven Homogeneity of Variance TestsHoward B. Lee, Gary S. Katz, Alberto F. RestoriProblem statement: The decision by SPSS (now PASW) to use the unmodified Levene test to test homogeneity of variance was questioned. It was compared to six other tests. In total, seven homogeneity of variance tests used in Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) were compared on robustness and power using Monte Carlo studies. The homogeneity of variance tests were (1) Levene, (2) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Ultra-Miniaturized Inertial Measurement Unit for Jaw Movement Analysis during Free ChewingZhuohua Lin, Massimiliano Zecca, Salvatore Sessa et al.Problem statement: Jaw movement analysis, as a clinical aid, can provide an objective basis for understanding and diagnosing jaw musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, the use and development of devices for quantitatively measuring and analyzing jaw movement have become more common and popular in the clinic. Many types of jaw tracking devices have been developed, but most of them are still not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProgrammable System on Chip Distributed Communication and Control Approach for Human Adaptive Mechanical SystemAhmad ‘Athif Mohd Faudzi, Koichi SuzumoriProblem statement: Communication and control are two main components in any Mechatronics system. They can be designed either by centralized or decentralized approach. Both approaches can be chosen based on application designed and specific requirements of the designer. In this study, decentralized or normally called distributed approach was selected to solved communication and control of a human adaptive mechanical system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Two Interacting Localized Defects on the Critical Load for Thin Cylindrical Shells Under Axial CompressionAbdellatif Khamlichi, Jalal El Bahaoui, Larbi El Bakkali et al.Problem statement: Many modern structures are made from thin shells. Design of these elements depends to a large extent on their buckling behavior which is hugely affected by the initial geometric imperfections. Approach: For axially compressed isotropic circular cylindrical shells, axisymmetric localized geometric imperfections were found to reduce severely the buckling strength. Among various axisymmetric shapes of localized defects that … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,073 accessesView PDFCite
