Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadial Basis Function Neural Networks Towards Electronic Trust QuantificationSmitha Zacaria, Tiny du ToitTrust is a broad term applicable in various contexts. Trust between electronic entities is complex to quantify, particularly in intricate networks. Traditional trust algorithms rely on historical trust values, requiring storage and access to past transaction details. Contextual variations further complicate trust calculation. Challenges in calculating trust include heightened computational complexities, managing information storage, and securing access to extensive datasets … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 11 · 26 Sep 2024 · 4,791 accessesView PDFCite

This process has been studied in detail throughout the research for four months starting from 7 October 2009 to 26 January 2010. In this research, technique of erosion pins were applied at five plots selected along the Chini … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Living Values-Based Contextual Learning to Develop the Students' CharacterKokom KomalasariProblem statement: University has an important role in the process of young generation character education. The character education should be integrated through the living values-based contextual learning model in order to be easier internalized and implemented. This study aimed at describing: (1) the living values-based contextual learning model conceptually in lecturing; (2) the implementation of the living values-based contextual learning … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 6 Mar 2012 · 9,294 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Different Exogeneous Compounds on Biosorption of EndosulfanDeepika Dave, A. K. DikshitProblem statement: Organochlorine pesticide endosulfan is widely used as a replacement for DDT and dieldrin in many parts of the world. Presence of residual pesticides in the water, air and soil environment was confirmed since 1960s. Such Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are of concern because of their long-term subtle effects on hormones, the immune system and reproduction. Therefore, it becomes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiometric Correction of Multitemporal Satellite ImagerySeema Gore Biday, Udhav BhosleProblem statement: Repeated observation of a given area over time yields potential for many forms of change detection analysis. These repeated observations are confounded in terms of radiometric consistency due to changes in sensor calibration over time, differences in illumination, observation angles and variation in atmospheric effects. Also major problem with satellite images is that regions below clouds are not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTreatment of Wastewater by Natural Lagoon for its Reuse in IrrigationM. Driche, D. Abdessemed, G. NezzalThe process of natural lagoon consists in purifying the waste water by simple flow of the effluent in not very deep ponds where proliferate bacteria, algae and other living organisms, under a surrounding air and in the presence of a solar radiation. For this study, which is spread out over 3 years (2004-2006) and which still continues, we chose the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,181 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Mesoporous Titania with Surfactant and its CharacterizationT. Benkacem, N. AgoudjilA mesoporous titania was obtained by gelation from Ti-alkoxide in acidic solutions with addition of surfactant cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CH3(CH2)15N(CH3)3Br) using a sol-gel process. The effects of surfactant concentration on synthesis of mesoporous titania were studied. The structural characterisation was studied by differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Studies by X-ray diffraction showed that crystallisation of TiO2 powder occurs at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
