Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Clustering and Feature Selection Scheme for Text Documents.M. Thangamani, P. ThangarajProblem statement: Text documents are the unstructured databases that contain raw data collection. The clustering techniques are used group up the text documents with reference to its similarity. Approach: The feature selection techniques were used to improve the efficiency and accuracy of clustering process. The feature selection was done by eliminate the redundant and irrelevant items from the text document … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinematics Model of Snake Robot Considering Snake ScaleRaisuddin Khan, M. Watanabe, A. A. ShafieProblem statement: In snake robot research, one of the most efficient forms of locomotion is the lateral undulation. However, lateral undulation, also known as serpentine locomotion, is ill-suited for narrow spaces, as the body of the snake must assume a certain amount of curvature to propel forward. Approach: To overcome the inability to adapt to narrow spaces, a novel type … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnbalance Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Problem Reduction in Drug DesignD. Pugazhenthi, S. P. RajagopalanProblem statement: Activities of drug molecules can be predicted by Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) models, which overcome the disadvantage of high cost and long cycle by employing traditional experimental methods. With the fact that number of drug molecules with positive activity is rather fewer than that with negatives, it is important to predict molecular activities considering such an unbalanced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtending the Concepts of Normalization from Relational Databases to Extensible-Markup-Language Databases ModelH.J. F. El-SofanyIn this study we have studied the problem of how to extend the concepts of Functional Dependency (FD) and normalization in relational databases to include the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) model. We shown that, like relational databases, XML documents may contain redundant information and this redundancy may cause update anomalies. Furthermore, such problems are caused by certain functional dependencies among … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,461 accessesView PDFCite

ThangarajStudy on characteristics of soil, to determine the types of crops suitable for cultivation in a particular region can increase the yield to greater extent, which minimizes the expenditures involved in irrigation and application of fertilizers. With the tested techniques available for calibrating the quality of soil and the crops suitable for cultivation in it, it is possible to determine … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Analysis of A System with Preventive Maintenance by Using the Kolmogorov’s Forward Equations MethodKhaled Moh. El-SaidThis study deals with cost analysis of a two- unit cold standby redundant system with preventive maintenance.The random failure occurs at random times which follow an exponential distribution and also the repair time are assumed to be exponentially distributed. Using the Kolmogorov’s forward equations method. Several reliability characteristics are obtained. The mean time to system failure (MTSF) and the profit … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of String Matching Compression AlgorithmsKrishnaveny Nadarajan, Zuriati A. ZukarnainThe improvement rate in microprocessor speed by far exceeds the improvement in DRAM memory. This increasing processor-memory performance gap is the primary obstacle to improved computer system performance. As a result, the size of main memory has increased gradually. To utilize main memory’s resources effectively, data compression can be applied. Through compression, the data can be compressed by eliminating redundant … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPacked Forest Chart ParserQi Haoliang, Li Sheng, Yang Muyun, Zhao TiejunPacked forest chart parser, like the traditional chart parsing algorithm, uses charts to store all the information produced while parsing to avoid redundant works. Its advantage over the traditional chart parser was the packed forest representation. The algorithm not only shares the non-terminal categories as what was done in the shared parse forest, but also shares the leftmost common elements. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSplitting Technique Initialization in Local PCAAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. Paliwal, Godfrey C. OnwuboluThe local Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reduces linearly redundant components that may present in higher dimensional space. It deploys an initial guess technique which can be utilized when the distribution of a given multivariate data is known to the user. The problem in initialization arises when the distribution is not known. This study explores a technique that can be easily … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRedundancy Schemes for High Availability Computer ClustersChristian K. Bassek, Samuel Pierre, Alejandro QuinteroThe primary goal of computer clusters is to improve computing performances by taking advantage of the parallelism they intrinsically provide. Moreover, their use of redundant hardware components enables them to offer high availability services. In this paper, we present an analytical model for analyzing redundancy schemes and their impact on the cluster’s overall performance. Furthermore, several cluster redundancy techniques are … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,229 accessesView PDFCite
