Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Cooperative Algorithm Based on PSO and K-Means for Data ClusteringMehdi Neshat, Shima Farshchian Yazdi, Daneyal Yazdani, Mehdi SargolzaeiProblem statement: Data clustering has been applied in multiple fields such as machine learning, data mining, wireless sensor networks and pattern recognition. One of the most famous clustering approaches is K-means which effectively has been used in many clustering problems, but this algorithm has some drawbacks such as local optimal convergence and sensitivity to initial points. Approach: Particle Swarm Optimization … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 19 Nov 2011 · 7,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem by Nested Particle Swarm OptimizationKaruppusamy Kanthavel, Paruchuri PrasadProblem statement: Vehicle routing problem determines the optimum route for each vehicle as a sequence of visiting cities. The problem has been defined as NP-hard and exact solution is relatively difficult to achieve for real time large scale models. Though several attempts to solve the problem were made in the literature, new approaches may be tried to solve the problem … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublic Involvement on Environment Issues in Kota Bharu and Jeli District, KelantanMohammad Ghazi Ismail, Haliza Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Environmental problems are too serious and complex to be solved through scientific approaches, technical and purely legal. Thus, public involvement with a more comprehensive vital is needed. This is because as one of the groups interested, this group can influenced and changed decision related policy legislation and policy related to environment. Public Involvement is needed in every development … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 8 Feb 2011 · 8,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollaborative Caching Architecture for Continuous Query in Mobile DatabaseMohamed Ahmed Elfaki, Hamidah Ibrahim, Ali Mamat, Mohamed OthmanProblem statement: Cooperative caching, which allows sharing and coordination of cached data among clients, is a potential technique to improve the data access performance and availability in mobile ad hoc networks. However, variable data sizes, frequent data updates, limited client resources, insufficient wireless bandwidth and client’s mobility make cache management faces many challenges. Approach: In this study, we propose a … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2011 · 8,875 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Pattern of Local Community-Based Management for Sustainable Rural Development in West Azarbaijan ProvinceLoghman Rashidpour, Seyed Jamal Farajallah Hosseini, Mohammad Chizari, Seyed Mahdi MirdamadiProblem Statement: Community-based management as incorporates both a top-down and bottom-up approach that involvement beneficiary sections such as local community, government states and non governmental organizations. It has also been applied to designate approaches where local communities play a central but not exclusive role in rural sustainable development process management. Approach: This study was survey method and is descriptive-correlation research, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification of Normal and Abnormal Lung CT-scan Images Using Cellular Learning AutomataNooshin Hadavi, Md Jan Nordin, Ali Shojaeipour, Mohammad Faidzul NasrudinThis paper proposes a medical pattern recognition system based on the Cellular automata (CA). CA or cellular machine is a dynamic mathematical model that consists of several similar and simple units organized by considerably simple local rules. Each cell acts as a simple computer automaton. This can lead to the implementation of the complex computations through uncomplicated methods. However, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2020 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Nursing and Midwifery Metrics: Providing Evidence to Support Change and Renewal in Healthcare Services in IrelandRandal Parlour, Paul Slater, Elizabeth BreslinThis study was commissioned by senior nursing and midwifery management to evaluate the impact of 'medication management metrics' (Medication Storage and Custody and Medication Administration) upon the delivery of nursing and midwifery care in the Health Service Executive (HSE) North West Area. The study employed a mixed-methodology using both quantitative and qualitative approaches to data collection and analysis.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCLUSTER BASED CACHE CONSISTENCY USING AGENT TECHNIQUE IN MOBILE ENVIRONMENTShanmugarathinam Ganesarathinam, Vivekanandan KanniappanCaching is an essential mechanism in mobile environment. Mobile node makes access dynamic changing data object to their server and to get the interested data to keep their own as local copies in the cache. If the server database is updated, the data cached in mobile client is invalidated and it becomes inconsistent between client and server. In this study … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2013 · 6,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Gaussian Process Regression Model for the Traveling Salesman ProblemWanatchapong Kongkaew, Juta PichitlamkenProblem statement: Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a famous NP hard problem. Many approaches have been proposed up to date for solving TSP. We consider a TSP tour as a dependent variable and its corresponding distance as an independent variable. If a predictive function can be formulated from arbitrary sample tours, the optimal tour may be predicted from this function. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 30 Aug 2012 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
