Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Technique for Quality Evaluation of E-Learning from Developers PerspectiveMajdi Abdellatief, Abu Bakar Md Sultan, Marzanah A. Jabar, Rusli AbdullahProblem statement: E-learning is gaining more acceptance as days pass because it provides learning opportunity any time and in any place. Different people have different preferences in terms of learning style such as reading text, listing audio or video, speaking and communication. To support these different learning preferences, there is need for multiple e-learning delivery methods and teaching techniques. Furthermore, … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 9,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIris Recognition Without Iris NormalizationLenina Birgale, M. KokareProblem statement: In any real time biometric system processing speed and recognition time are crucial parameters. Reducing processing time involves many parameters like normalization, FAR, FRR, management of eyelid and eyelash occlusions, size of signature etc. Normalization consumes substantial amount of time of the system. This study contributes for improved iris recognition system with reduced processing time, False Acceptance Rate … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Accuracy of Effort Estimation through Fuzzy Set Representation of SizeCh. Satyananda Reddy, KVSVN RajuProblem statement: The precision and reliability of the effort estimation is very important for the competitiveness of software companies. The uncertainty at the input level of the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) yields uncertainty at the output, which leads to gross estimation error in the effort estimation. Fuzzy logic-based cost estimation models are more appropriate when vague and imprecise information was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison the Proposed Probabilistic-Based Time-History and the Traditional PSHA ApproachA. NicknamThe main objective of this article is to demonstrate the ability of our technique in estimating the probabilistic-based time-history to be used in dynamic analysis of structures. The result of using our technique is compared with that of traditional approach proposed by Cornell (Cornell, 1968), in the form of response spectrum through a case study. Good agreement of the two … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Storage Time and Temperature on Serum AnalytesAbdoljalal MarjaniInformation on the measured concentration of serum analytes during storage of serum samples is often incomplete and sometimes contradictory. The 10 analytes have not studied in this area in healthy subjects. The aim of present study was designed to determine the effect of storage time and temperature on the laboratory results of 10 analytes in sera from apparently healthy adult … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDFT Based Electrophilicity Index and QSAR study of Phenols as Anti Leukaemia AgentFarhan A. Pasha, Hemant K. Srivastava, Yakoob Beg, Pashupati P. singhDensity Functional reactivity indices based QSAR study of 49 phenol derivatives is presented in this paper. Two different models to describe the anti leukaemia activity of phenols have been made. First QSAR model includes molecular properties like molecular weight (Mw), hardness (η), chemical potential (μ), total energy, and electrophilicity index (ω). Various regression models have been made and regression quality … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of the Chi-square Test to Determine Significance of Cumulative Antibiogram DataRocco J. Perla, James CarifioAn important function of a hospital’s Infectious Disease and Pharmacy programs is to review and compare the most recent antibiogram with that of the previous year to determine if significant changes in antibiotic susceptibility results are noted and to communicate this information and its consequences to the medical staff. However, there are currently no formal analytical (decision-making) models in use … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Efficient Approach to Hide Compressed Voice Data in Arabic Text using Kashida and "La"Sabeeka M. Al-Oun, Jehad Q. Odeh AlnihoudIn this research, we propose a new approach to increase the capacity and enhance the reliability of hiding voice data in Arabic text. Using Kashida to hide bits in Arabic text is one of the most promising approaches in steganography. Unfortunately, ignoring the original Kashida in the cover text may affect the results significantly and produce inaccurate results in the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 28 Mar 2017 · 7,788 accessesView PDFCite
