Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the State Assignment Problem Using Stochastic Search Aided with Simulated AnnealingWalid M. AlyProblem statement: Solving the state assignment problem means finding the optimum assignment for each state within a sequential digital circuit. These optimum assignments will result in decreasing the hardware realization cost and increasing the reliability of the digital circuit. Unfortunately, the state assignment problem belongs to the class of nondeterministic polynomial time problems (NP complete) which requires heavy computations. Different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving Square Jigsaw Puzzles Using Dynamic Programming and the Hungarian ProcedureNaif AlajlanProblem statement: To design, implement, and test an algorithm for solving the square jigsaw puzzle problem, which has many applications in image processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision such as restoration of archeological artifacts and image descrambling. Approach: The algorithm used the gray level profiles of border pixels for local matching of the puzzle pieces, which was performed using dynamic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,690 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Adaptation of Fishing Instruments by a Farmers' Community in the Thung Kula Area, in North Eastern ThailandWorawan Ubonlert, Songkhun Chantachon, Worapol EngwanichProblem statement: In a historical study of the ancient communities in the area of Thung Kula, it was revealed that there are important resources including rice, fish, salt and iron. Salt is used in making fermented fish (known locally as Pla Daek), a culinary culture which has been prevalent in the ethnic groups of Laos and Khmer. The availability of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTraveling Salesman Approach for Solving Petrol Distribution Using Simulated AnnealingZuhaimy Ismail, Wan Rohaizad Wan IbrahimThis research presents an attempt to solve a logistic company's problem of delivering petrol to petrol station in the state of Johor. This delivery system is formulated as a travelling salesman problem (TSP). TSP involves finding an optimal route for visiting stations and returning to point of origin, where the inter-station distance is symmetric and known. This real world application … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybridization of Neural Learning Algorithms Using Evolutionary and Discrete Gradient ApproachesRanadhir Ghosh, John Yearwood, Moumita Ghosh, Adil BagirovIn this study we investigated a hybrid model based on the Discrete Gradient method and an evolutionary strategy for determining the weights in a feed forward artificial neural network. Also we discuss different variants for hybrid models using the Discrete Gradient method and an evolutionary strategy for determining the weights in a feed forward artificial neural network. The Discrete Gradient … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm for Assigning Cells to Switches in Wireless NetworksMatthieu Andr, Gilles Pesant, Samuel PierreThe problem of assigning cells to switches in wireless networks consists of minimizing the total operating cost, that is, the cost of linking cells to switches and the cost of handover from one cell to another, by taking into account factors such as network topology, switch capacity and traffic load in the entire network. Such a problem is well known … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,748 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariable Selection with PageRank for SAT SolversTomohiro SonobeHow to choose decision variables often determines the performance of SAT solvers. In state-of-the-art SAT solvers, Variable State Independent Decaying Sum (VSIDS) has been used as a standard technique in the decision process. In this study, we analyze the VSIDS from the point of view of PageRank and propose a technique for improving the VSIDS. While the VSIDS focuses on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 8 · 6 Aug 2019 · 7,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCommunity Participation in Mangrove Conservation and Ecosystem Assessment in Tanjung Rejo, IndonesiaFinny Juniyanti Nasution, Mohammad Basyuni et al.Mangrove forests located in the intertidal zones of tropical and subtropical areas exhibit distinct characteristics and offer a range of potential advantages for human life. These mangroves should be conserved for sustainability. Therefore, the local community should participate in mangrove forest management to get the benefits directly. This study searched for to (1) identify the mangrove forest ecosystem and (2) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2025 · 3,890 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Ontological Crawling Approach for Improving Information Aggregation over eGovernment WebsitesHeru Agus Santoso, Junta Zeniarja, Ardytha Luthfiarta, Bima Jati WijayaE-Government applications in developing countries are still lagging behind e-Governments in advanced countries. For example, the use of information integration for Web portal content is still very limited. This paper proposes an automated approach for information aggregation over e-Government portals using ontological approach. The study uses data obtained from 10 local government Websites in the Central Java province-Indonesia. The data … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 25 Nov 2016 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite
