Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Quality Management Practices Within the Healthcare IndustryWilliam J. Miller, Andrew T. Sumner, Richard H. DeaneProblem Statement: Considerable effort has been devoted over the years by many organizations to adopt quality management practices, but few studies have assessed critical factors that affect quality practices in healthcare organizations. The problem addressed in this study was to assess the critical factors influencing the quality management practices in a single important industry (i.e., healthcare). Approach: A survey instrument … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVerifying Complex Interaction between Hardware ProcessesKiran Ramineni, Shireesh Verma, Ian G. HarrisProblem statement: Verification of correct functionality of semiconductor devices has been a challenging problem. Given the device fabrication cost, it is critical to verify the expected functionality using simulations of executable device models before a device manufactured. However, typical industrial scale devices today involve large number of interactions between their components. Complexity of verifying all interactions becomes almost intractable even … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Dynamic Signature Verification Using Sensor-Based Data gloveShohel Sayeed, Nidal S. Kamel, Rosli BesarData glove is a new dimension in the field of virtual reality environments, initially designed to satisfy the stringent requirements of modern motion capture and animation professionals. In this study we try to shift the implementation of data glove from motion animation towards signature verification problem, making use of the offered multiple degrees of freedom for each finger and for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCar Safety System Using Fuzzy LogicMazin Al-Hadidi, Yasir Khalil Ibrahim, Yarob Adnan IstitiehNowadays everybody can recognize the huge increasing of car numbers on roads. Day after day, this increasing may be an indicator for changing and development. This put a lot of challenges on people and governments. One of these challenges is car accidents and there bad effects. The main aim of our proposal is to help our society to decrease car … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Decision Support Approach for the Sustainable Transfer of Energy Technologies under the Kyoto ProtocolCharikleia Karakosta, Haris Doukas, John PsarrasTheoretically, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was introduced in the Kyoto Protocol at COP-3 in December 1997 and has officially been operational since the year 2000, in order to assist the technology transfer of sustainable energy technologies from developed to developing countries so as to support the sustainable development of the host countries. Under the CDM, sustainable development is considered … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Algorithm Based Probabilistic Motif Discovery in Unaligned Biological SequencesM. Hemalatha, K. VivekanandanFinding motif in biosequences is the most important primitive operation in computational biology. There are many computational requirements for a motif discovery algorithm such as computer memory space requirement and computational complexity. To overcome the complexity of motif discovery, we propose an alternative solution integrating genetic algorithm and Fuzzy Art machine learning approaches for eliminating multiple sequence alignment process. Problem … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,730 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncorporating Multiple Sources into AMTree ProtocolAli M. Al-Sharafi, Mohamed Othman, Md. N. Sulaiman, Shamala SubramaniamAMTree protocol is an active network based protocol that makes sending packets to receivers-after source migration-an efficient process. AMTree protocol was designed and tested for one mobile source sending to the multicast group. In this research we introduce a method that allows more than one mobile source to send to the multicast session. The results show that end-to-end latencies are … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Testing of a Medical Surgical Instrument Capable of Detecting Simulated Embedded LumpsJavad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Reza Ramezanifard, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheA novel endoscopic grasper is being fabricated and tested. This grasper can be used in detecting lumps or tumors in biological tissues. The detailed fabrication process of the tactile sensor has been discussed. Custom-made sensors were integrated with the jaws of the endoscopic grasper and objects with known tactile features were tested by the designed grasper. Different experiments were performed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProximity Aware Routing in Ad Hoc NetworksValerie Alandzi, Alejandro QuinteroMost of the existing routing protocols for ad hoc networks are designed to scale in networks of a few hundred nodes. They rely on state concerning all links of the network or links on the route between a source and a destination. This may result in poor scaling properties in larger mobile networks or when node mobility is high. Using … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics of Effective Dynamics and its Use in Developing the Product Quality and Proceeds in Inclusively FirmNasir Al KloubControlling product size type and quality is a set of technical, technological, organizational and preparatory procedures correlated in one process. Indexes for the demand for product in foreign and local markets vary according to its quality, and consequently technological processes should guarantee and warrant protects of subtle qualities and quality indexes. Securing quality of the product in all industrial sectors … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,248 accessesView PDFCite
