Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRotational Linear Discriminant Analysis Using Bayes Rule for Dimensionality ReductionAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. PaliwalLinear discriminant analysis (LDA) finds an orientation that projects high dimensional feature vectors to reduced dimensional feature space in such a way that the overlapping between the classes in this feature space is minimum. This overlapping is usually finite and produces finite classification error which is further minimized by rotational LDA technique. This rotational LDA technique rotates the classes individually … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Approach to Digital Objects Storage and RetrievalKhalil Shihab, Haider Ramadhan, Nida Al-ChalabiImage retrieval systems are becoming increasingly important in areas of research and commercial use. The storage of digital objects in the traditional databases is considered inadequate because of the extensive precise data required for successful retrieval. In addition, the retrieval process has been implemented using content-based image retrieval (CBIR) that relies on retrieving stored images from a collection by comparing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Implementing Calls Prioritization with Different Queuing Disciplines in Mobile Wireless NetworksSalman A. AlQahtani, Nasser-Eddine RikliIt is known that efficient call handling mechanisms can greatly improve cellular network performance. One way to improve system performance of cellular network is to use efficient handover schemes when users changes between cells. This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of originating and handover calls prioritization using different queue size and discipline. Both calls will be queued until they … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoftware Process Modeling Using Role and CoordinationAtil Fadila, Ghoul Said, Bounour NoraThe term software process joins all activities that have to be achieved in order to develop software. It has been shown that modeling such processes is difficult and expensive task. It's confirmed by diversity of software processes modeling approaches which are however, not satisfactory. This study deals with an area of growing importance and presents a role- and coordination- based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of RSA Based Digital Signature AlgorithmsRamzi A. Haraty, A. N. El-Kassar, Bilal ShibaroA digital signature is a mechanism designed to allow secure communication through an insecure medium and can be traced in many applications where privacy is required. A digital signature is an electronic signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document and possibly to ensure that the original … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of ball milling times on phase formation of Mg0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4Aurawan Rittidech, Panuthat KhotsongkramMg0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 (MZF) powder was prepared by a solid-state mixed oxide using ball-milling technique. The phase identification of calcined powders was performed using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). It has been found that MZF powders were successfully obtained for calcination conditions of 800 oC for milling times of 36 h, whereas milling times of 12 h, unreacted ZnO, Fe2O3 and MgO phases … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Applicability of the Short-run Phillips curve to NamibiaCyril A. OgbokorIn this research, we invoke linear and logarithmic regression models to empirically test the validity of the Short-run Phillips curve for Namibia by relying on macroeconomic time-series data running from 1991 to 2005.Our results offer some support for the presence of the phenomenon of stagflation in Namibia. This is rather contradictory to the underlying philosophy of the original Phillips curve. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling the Effect of Salinity on the Multivariate Distribution of a Water Quality IndexDaniela cocchi, Michele scagliariniSalinity is a tracer of water and nutrient flows and is employed in studies on coastal environment to establish the coastal or remote origins of pollutants and nutrients. The present article analyses the effects of salinity on the multivariate distribution of the Trophic Index TRIX. The approach taken is based on a multivariate nested model with salinity as an explicative … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 5,915 accessesView PDFCite

Gupta, Sachin Kumar, Kadambri AgarwalOne of the crucial elements in the Internet is the ability to adequately control Congestion. AIMD (Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease) is the best algorithm among the set of liner algorithms because it reflects good efficiency as well as good fairness. Our Control model is based on original approach of AIMD. In this paper we introduce improved version of AIMD.
