Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSMS for Question-Answering in the m-Learning ScenarioS. R. Balasundaram, B. RamadossEmerging technologies are leading to the development of several new opportunities to guide and enhance learning that were unimaginable a few years ago. The move towards adopting mobile learning technologies is fast growing in both academic and industrial sectors. Mobile learning uses portable devices linked to a commercial public network, including different types of mobile phones and handheld computers. For … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,445 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Quality of Work Life (QWL) and Career- Related VariablesArafat Al-Dhaqm, LooSee Beh, Jegak Uli, Khairuddin IdrisThe aim of this study was to determine the level and relationship between qualities of work life (QWL) with career-related variables. The sample consists of 475 executives from the electrical and electronics industry in the free trade zones in Malaysia for both the multinational corporations (MNCs) and the small-medium industries (SMIs). The selection of respondents using stratified random sampling technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 9,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting River Flow in the USA: A Comparison between Auto-Regression and Neural Network Non-Parametric ModelsAbdel K.M. Baareh, Alaa F. Sheta, Khaled A. KhnaifesForecasting a time series became one of the most challenging tasks to variety of data sets. The existence of large number of parameters to be estimated and the effect of uncertainty and outliers in the measurements makes the time series modeling too complicated. Recently, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) became quite successful tool to handle time series modeling problem. This paper … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Iterative Method for Algorithms Implementation on a Limited Dynamically Reconfigurable HardwareAbdellatif Mtibaa, Abdessalem B. Abdelali, Lotfi Boussaid, Elbey BourennaneIn this study we propose a framework and a combined temporal partitioning and design space exploration method for run time reconfigurable processors. Our objective is to help designers to implement an algorithm in limited FPGA area resources while respecting the execution time constraint. The algorithm to be implemented is represented by a task graph with different implementation alternatives (design points) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,536 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 Method for Social Scientists to Adapt Instruments From One Culture to Another: The Case of the Job Descriptive IndexRamzi NasserThis study outlined an adaptation procedure for the Job Descriptive Index Subscale of "type of work". The cross-translation or committee translation procedure asks two or more translators to translate a text from source to target language, and then an expert assesses the validity of these translations. Empirically, this method has three or more translators translate the instrument from English to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiemann Estimation for Replicated Environmental Sampling DesignsLucio Barabesi, Marzia marcheselliIn many environmental surveys the population under study is made up of biological units scattered over a planar region. A variable is considered on each unit and the target parameter generally turns out to be the population total of the variable. In order to estimate the population total, field scientists commonly replicate a suitable design on the study region. Replicated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoosted Regression Estimates of Spatial Data: Pointwise InferenceMarco Di Marzio, Charles C. TaylorIn this study simple nonparametric techniques have been adopted to estimate the trend surface of the Swiss rainfall data. In particular we employed the Nadaraya-Watson smoother and in addition, an adapted-by boosting-version of it. Additionally, we have explored the use of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator for the construction of pointwise confidence intervals. Overall, boosting does seem to improve the estimate as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Cost Long Distance Detector for Explosives and Chemical Analysis by IEC ApplicationGeorge H. Miley, Heinrich Hora, Frederick Osman et al.A radiation source for detecting specific chemicals at several meter distances even behind walls, car doors or other barriers is the application of Million electron Volts (MeV) neutrons from nuclear fusion reactions at such low intensities to avoid any danger for human bodies. The chemical analysis consists in the neutron activation of nuclei emitting then gamma radiation of lines very … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Simulation of an Input Queuing Packet SwitchAzeddine Bilami, Mustapha Lalam, Mohamed BenmohammedMany Architectures of Internet routers, ATM and Ethernet switches have been proposed and analysed in literature. Theoretically reliable and valid solutions have been developed to achieve high performances, but a lot of them are not feasible in practice for commercial and technological reasons. Few papers develop the implementation and simulation aspects. The objective of this study is the design of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2005 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
