Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Feasibility Study of Challenges and Opportunities in Computational Biology: A Malaysian PerspectiveR. J.A. Richard, N. SriraamThe term computational biology refers to the knowledge derived from a computer analysis of biological data that includes identification of genes in DNA sequence of different organisms, prediction of structural and functional mechanism of proteins, feature extraction and classification of genomics and proteomics. Computational biology is a rapidly developing branch of science and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and Concepts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn HIV/AIDS Model with Variable Force of Infection and its Application to the Epidemic in UgandaFlugentius Baryarama, Joseph Y.T. Mugisha, Livingstone S. LuboobiAn HIV/AIDS model is formulated with variable force of infection for the adult population. Its actions are reduced to a prevalence equation that is a non-logistic equation whose explicit solution is derived. The implications of applying the solution to the evolution of the HIV/AIDS epidemic are discussed with respect to the positive boundedness of the coefficients. Prevalence projections are presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVHDL Specification Methodology from High-level SpecificationM. Benmohammed, S. MernizDesign complexity has been increasing exponentially this last decade. In order to cope with such an increase and to keep up designers' productivity, higher level specifications were required. Moreover new synthesis systems, starting with a high level specification, have been developed in order to automate and speed up processor design. This study presents a VHDL specification methodology aimed to extend … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroducing Song Form Intelligence into Streaming AudioKevin CurranWhen receiving streaming media over a low bandwidth wireless connection, users can experience not only packet losses but also extended service interruptions. These dropouts can last for as long as 15 sec. During this time no packets are received and if not addressed, these dropped packets cause unacceptable interruptions in the audio stream. A long dropout of this kind may … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeek of an Optimal Way by Q-LearningY. Dahmani, A. BenyettouIn this article, we presented the Q-Learning training method which is a derivative of the reinforcement learning called sometimes training by penalty-reward. We illustrate this by an application to the mobility of a mobile in an enclosure closed on the basis of a starting point towards an unspecified arrival point. The objective is to find an optimal way optimal without … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Field Development Scheduling, East Unity Oil Field, SudanTagwa A. Musa, Ahmed A.E. Ibrahin, Guan ZhenLiang, Fei QiIn order to improve the reservoir performance in East Unity oil field Sudan, the studies focused on characterization, modeling and simulation of the actual performance and future development. A model was constructed using a three-phase, three dimensional, black oil simulator (ECLIPSE). In this study a data from East Unity oil field Sudan started production at July 1999 was used to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,157 accessesView PDFCite
