Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Detection Algorithm for a Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Multiuser Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access in Time-Varying ChannelsFares Sayadi, Mahamod Ismail, Norbahiah Misran et al.Problem statement: Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding has been applied for the uplink of a Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channel from k users, which moves at vehicular speed, to the Base-Station (BS) is time-varying. For time-varying channels, Sphere Decoding (SD) was introduced to perform ML decoding. Whereas, computational … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Morphological Method for Detection and Recognition of Vehicle License PlatesS.H. Mohades Kasaei, S.M. Mohades Kasaei, S. A. MonadjemiProblem statement: License plate detection and recognition is an image-processing technique used to identify a vehicle by its license plate. This notable technology has got multiple applications in various traffic and security cases. To name but a few, toll roads, border control, security and car tracking are same of its applications. The main stage is the isolation of the license … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow to Guide and Assess Risk Reduction using Risk Characterization IndicatorsPeter Borgen Sørensen, Rainer Brüggemann, Marianne Thomsen et al.Problem statement: The risk level predictions in risk assessment often suffer from uncertainties and may, thus, overlook some adverse effects. This problem can be reduced by using risk reduction strategies that continuously guide activities toward lowest possible risk. Approach: This study suggested a method to guide and assess such risk reduction strategies using multi-indicator risk characterization. It was a challenge … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMPLS Based Architecture for Mobility and End-to-End QoS Support in Fourth Generation Mobile NetworksAlejandro Quintero, Eduardo Del FrutosProblem statement: Next-generation mobile networks are evolving towards network architectures relying entirely on IP. Approach: These networks had to be scalable in order to support future IP traffic, namely new multimedia services and real time applications, while providing an effective mobility management mechanism to cope with increasingly mobile users. In addition to global connectivity, next-generation mobile networks will have to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Surface Treatment on Fatigue Life of Cylinder Block for Linear Engine using Frequency Response ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.Objectives: This study was focused on the finite element techniques to investigate the effect of surface treatment on the fatigue life of the vibrating cylinder block for new two-stroke free piston engine using random loading conditions. Motivation: An understanding of the effects related to the random loading is necessary to improve the ability of designers to accurately predict the fatigue … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,139 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Fuzzy Logic Control with Input Shaping for Input Tracking and Sway Suppression of a Gantry Crane SystemM. A. Ahmad, Z. MohamedProblem statement: Most of the common gantry crane results in a sway motion when transporting the load as fast as possible. In addition, precise cart position control of gantry crane must required a zero or near zero residual sway. Approach: In this study, the development of hybrid control schemes for input tracking and anti-sway control of a gantry crane system … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Nonlinear Optimal Feedback Law for Satellite Injection Problem Using Neighboring Optimal ControlHamed Hossein Afshari, Alireza Basohbat Novinzadeh, Jafar RoshanianAn optimal trajectory design of a nonlinear satellite injection problem for transfer to a final target orbit by minimizing the time was investigated. Indeed, this design was an exact solution to the nonlinear two-point boundary value problem which determined optimal control history as well as optimal state trajectories in the open-loop form. Furthermore, the obtained optimal guidance strategy was exerted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands via Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Tabu SearchZ. Ismail, IrhamahThis study considers a version of the stochastic vehicle routing problem where customer demands are random variables with known probability distribution. A new scheme based on a hybrid GA and Tabu Search heuristic is proposed for this problem under a priori approach with preventive restocking. The relative performance of the proposed HGATS is compared to each GA and TS alone, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroarray Analysis of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Responses to Bacterial LipopolysaccharideJoe Minta James, J. Yun, Sandy Der, Shikha RanaAccumulating evidence suggest a causal role of bacterial and viral infections in atherogenesis. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to stimulate resting vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) with the production of inflammatory cytokines and modulation of quiescent cells to the proliferative and synthetic phenotype. To comprehensively identify biologically important genes associated with LPS-induced SMC phenotype modulation, we compared the transcriptomes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction Motor Flux Estimation using Nonlinear Sliding ObserversHakiki Khalid, Mazari Benyounès, Djaber Sid’AhmedA nonlinear sliding flux was proposed for an induction motor. Its dynamic observation errors converge asymptotically to zero, independently from the inputs. The aim of this work was to study the robustness of this observer with respect to the variation of the rotor resistance known to be a crucial parameter for the control. The dynamic performance of this sliding observer … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
