Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated Camera Monitoring System for Selective Areas of InterestNael HirzallahMonitoring a number of security cameras by security guards suffers from a number of difficulties especially when the events to be watched for may take months to occur or a large number of cameras exist. Furthermore, finding and hiring people for such tasks is usually expensive. Therefore, there are immediate needs for automated surveillance systems that save money, work in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Network Management Framework Using Mobile AgentsJonathan Lefebvre, Steven Chamberland, Samuel PierreNetwork management of heterogeneous networks is still hard to achieve automatically and efficiently. In this study, we present a framework that has the ability to perform network management tasks on heterogeneous networks using mobile agents. This framework handles the inability of many network devices to run mobile agents. While the main focus of the project is the framework, we present … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Modern Appraisal of Ancient Etruscan Herbal PracticesA. P. Harrison, E. M. BartelsIndividuals in antiquity would have been exposed to both cheese and red wine and perhaps as many as 10-40% of the population would have suffered at some time in their life from a migraine headache. Furthermore, individuals in antiquity would also have been exposed to their fair share of childhood stress and therefore would have been predisposed to arthritis in … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Method for Tagging Arabic TextYamina Tlili-GuiassaMany natural language expressions are ambiguous and need to draw on other sources of information to be interpreted. Interpretation of the word ﺗﻌﺎون to be considered as a noun or a verb depends on the presence of contextual cues. This study proposes a hybrid method of based- rules and a machine learning method for tagging Arabic words. So this method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,705 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManaging a High Speed LAN using Distributed Artificial IntelligenceIbrahiem M. M-El-EmaryThis study is concerned with a practical application of distributed artificial intelligence for managing the high data rate bus structured local area computer network that uses deterministic multiple access protocol. In the selected network that is managed using distributed artificial intelligence, the dynamic sharing of the available bandwidth among stations is achieved by forming "train to which each station may … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Look to Adaptive Temporal Radial Basis Function Applied in Speech RecognitionMesbahi Larbi, Benyettou AbdelkaderThis study presents new contribution towards the Adaptive Temporal Radial Basis Function (ATRBF) applied to Continuous speech recognition, in particular the recognition of phonemes like Timit Corpus. ATRBF combines features from Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN) and the advantages of Radial Basis Function (RBF). The capacity to detect the acoustic features and their independent temporal report of the temporal localisation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,688 accessesView PDFCite
