Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTolerances Applied in Combinatorial OptimizationBoris Goldengorin, Gerold Jäger, Paul MolitorIn this paper we deal with sensitivity analysis of combinatorial optimization problems and its fundamental term, the tolerance. For three classes of objective functions (∑, ∏, MAX) we give some basic properties on upper and lower tolerances. We show that the upper tolerance of an element is well defined, how to compute the upper tolerance of an element and give … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 18,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Voxel Colouring Technique in the Volumetric Textures Representation Based on Image LayersBabahenini M. Chaouki, Hemidi Djallel, Djedi NoureddineThis paper presents a method for integrating a technique of reconstruction scene (voxel colouring) starting from images of the reference element of a volumetric texture, this one will be converted in a second phase into a whole of layers (2D images considered as transparent textures), which will be projected and composed successively on surface defined as volumetric grid using the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutonomic Middleware Services for Just-In-Time Grid Services ProvisioningWail M. Omar, A. Taleb-Bendiab, Yasir KaramThe advent of widespread distributed computing environment, such as information systems and computational grids computing has enabled a new generation of applications that are based on seamless access, aggregation and interaction. The dramatic side of the story is a strong presence of the plea that those decentralized Grids are potentially affected by a number of primitives derived from their anatomy, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Software Quality Model for Evaluating COTS ComponentsAdnan Rawashdeh, Bassem MatalkahStudies show that COTS-based (Commercial off the shelf) systems that are being built recently are exceeding 40% of the total developed software systems. Therefore, a model that ensures quality characteristics of such systems becomes a necessity. Among the most critical processes in COTS-based systems are the evaluation and selection of the COTS components. There are several existing quality models used … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 11,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Discrete Optimization Description for the Solutions in the Matching ProblemWalied H. SharifThis study was concerned with the characterization of solutions in the matching problem. The general mixed-integer programming problem is given together with the definition of the convex hull of the integer solutions. In addition, the matching problem is defined as an integer problem and an algorithm is described to find the optimum matchings. Some illustrative examples are introduced to clarify … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of North America Free Trade Agreement on Mexican Environmental Policy (1994-2004)Ningu J. Kenneth, Jorge Torres Jácome, Sonia E.S. Gomez, Pérez ÁvilesThe scope of this study was to analyze the implementation of the environmental policy and the way Mexico has integrated the environmental aspects into a North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). We are aware of the fact that many environmental costs do not necessarily reflect the environmental damage. Environmental costs are often defined by determining either the willingness of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Meaning of a Redundant Codon: There is Protein Folding Information in Nucleic Acids in Addition to the Genetic CodeJan C. Biro, Josephine M.K. BiroAll the information necessary for protein folding is supposed to be present in the amino acid sequence. It is still not possible to provide specific ab initio structure predictions by bioinformatical methods. It is suspected that additional folding information is present in protein coding nucleic acid sequences, which is not represented by the known genetic code. Nucleic acid subsequences comprising … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 8,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact Analysis of Irrigation Projects: an Application of Contingent Valuation MethodAnastasios MichailidisWater supply in rural and urban areas is an issue of primary concern, especially in developing countries. The objective of this study is to estimate some socioeconomic and environmental values of three irrigation lakes, constructed at Panagitsa village (Region of Central Macedonia, Prefecture of Pella). The study area is characterized, especially during the summer session, of limited water supply for … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractISSP: New Designed Software Package to Enhance E-Learning ApproachIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Hussain F. SindiThe objective of this study was to present a new software tool assists in enhancing E-learning approach. The presented system is called Instructor- Student Software Package (ISSP). The proposed ISSP contains three main modules: firstly, the lecturing module which is designed to help instructor create lecture notes.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Definition of Extended High-level Timed Petri NetsCheng Guangming, Liao Minghong, Wu XianghuMany extensions of Petri nets have been proposed to model the behaviors and time relations of embedded system, yet these models are all based on some assumptions about the behaviors of embedded systems. Especially they all do not have the actual ability to model interrupt mechanism of embedded system. A new net which is called Extended High Level Timed Petri … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
