Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping UML Component Specifications to JEE ImplementationsJyhjong LinComponent-based Software Engineering (CbSE) has become a well-accepted approach for developing complex software systems due to its significant advantages on composition and reuse. In practice, however, its use still requires the conjunction of a component specification method that describes how system requirements are satisfied in terms of software components. Such a component specification is then implemented in a variety of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,481 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Digitization of Engineering Diagrams using Intelligent AlgorithmsPremanand Ghadekar, Shaunak Joshi, Debabrata Swain et al.At present usage of computational intelligence became the ultimate need of the heavy engineering industries. Digitization can be achieved in these sectors by scanning the hard copy images. When older documents are digitized are not of very high fidelity and therefore the accuracy, reliability of the estimates of components such as equipment and materials after digitization are remarkably low since … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 9 · 28 Sep 2021 · 7,062 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,402 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContact with Nature and Children’s Wellbeing in Educational SettingsGiuseppe Carrus, Sabine Pirchio, Ylenia Passiatore et al.Problem statement: The study explores the role of the spatial-physical features of the environment for the functioning of educational institutions. Previous research in the field of environmental psychology showed how physical characteristics of learning environments might be linked to positive or negative outcomes in terms of learning attitudes and behaviors. In particular, there is consistent empirical evidence showing that contact … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2012 · 14,402 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparedness for the Introduction of E-learning in Higher Education-The Case of OmanZ. A. Al-Khanjari, N. S. Kutti, A. S.S. DorvloThe use of Web-based instruction (WBI) and with the availability of well-structured Course Management Tools there seems to be a prospectus of improving both the classroom and distance educations using e-Learning principle[1,2]. As the instructor community plays a central role in all education processes we are motivated to study the level of their cooperation with respect to applying WBI through … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,370 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Thresholding Algorithm-Based Optical Character Recognition System for Information Extraction in Complex ImagesDaniel Akinbade, Adewale Opeoluwa Ogunde, Mba Obasi Odim, Bosede Oyenike OguntundeExtracting texts from images with complex backgrounds is a major challenge today. Many existing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems could not handle this problem. As reported in the literature, some existing methods that can handle the problem still encounter major difficulties with extracting texts from images with sharp varying contours, touching word and skewed words from scanned documents and images … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2020 · 8,473 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Secure Model for Storage and Dissemination of Examination Results: A Case Study of Zambia Technical Education Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training AuthorityLister Mseteka, Jackson PhiriMost developing countries and public higher institutions of learning have low levels of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and hence face challenges in securing information and information systems. Therefore, dissemination of examination results through web and mobile applications usually raise security concerns on how to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of students’ examination results due to susceptibility of web … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2019 · 8,063 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Theory of the Mind as a Complex SystemCraig P. Speelman, Kim Kirsner, Stephan HalloyFive principles of skill acquisition are presented based on a review of research on human learning and expertise. Essentially these principles state that practice leads to faster and more efficient uses of knowledge. This enables faster performance and results in less demand on mental resources. In turn these outcomes enable higher level behaviours to be attempted. Ultimately skills are developed … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 9 Jul 2012 · 9,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Knowledge Management Process Practices in Very Small Software CompaniesShuib Basri, Rory V. O’ConnorProblem statement: Software development is distinct from other types of engineering because the product is intangible, progress is not explicit and team members rely on the documentation of others to review progress. In addition, there are no standard processes, which make it difficult to predict which process will cause development problems. The discourse of knowledge management is becoming more evident … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 6 Mar 2012 · 8,199 accessesView PDF Cite
