Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom Design Specification to SystemCRachid Boudour, Mohamed T. KimourIn this paper, we present a framework for transforming the design model into SystemC code. Such a framework uses as input UML state machine and object diagrams, which are more and more used as design models in embedded systems. To do this, we have firstly used Poseidon tool for editing the design model and generating the XMI representation, and secondly … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsynchronous NoC Router DesignSami Badrouchi, Abdelkrim Zitouni, Kholdoun Torki, Rached TourkiThe Quality of Service Network on Chip (QNoC) is the most perferment solution that provides low latency transfers and power efficient System on Chip (SoC) interconnect. This study presents an asynchronous NoC router, for use in 2-D mesh-connected networks. It comprises multiple interconnected input and output ports and dynamic arbitration mechanisms that resolve any output port conflicts based on the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Plasmid in Production of Acetobacter Xylinum BiofilmsAbbas Rezaee, Sanaz Solimani, Mehdi ForozandemogadamAcetobacter xylinum has the ability to produce cellulotic biofilms. Bacterial cellulose is expected to be used in many industrial or biomedical materials for its unique characteristics. A. xylinum contains a complex system of plasmid DNA molecules. A 44 kilobases (kb) plasmid was isolated in wild type of A. xylinum. To improve the cellulose producing ability of A. xylinum, role of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCodesign Methodology of Real-time Embedded Controllers for Electromechanical SystemsSlim Ben Saoud, Andreas Gerstlauer, Daniel D. GajskiUnder increasing time-to-market pressures in the electric drives industries, the development time of new algorithms and new control systems including their debugging time must be minimized. This requirement can be satisfied only by using a well-defined system-level design methodology and by reducing the migration time between the algorithm development language and the hardware specification language. In this study, we propose … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Electricity Product by Increasing Water Volume During FreezingA. Arab, B. Alinaghi, M. R. RezaieElectricity production process by the use of water expansion during freezing. By use of a closed volume such as piston and cylinder. The volume increase of ice could be transformed linearly and cause piston displacement, by the use of cold resource and heat resources. This process is possible where boarding temperature difference is high and water temperatures reach below 0°C … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Elliptic Function Arising from the Theta Functions and Dedekind's η-FunctionIsmet Yildiz, Neslihan UyanikIt's a reality that there is a relationship between the sigma function of Weierstrass and theta functions. An elliptic function can be set up using the theta functions just as it can be astablished with the help of sigma function of Weierstrass and two relations between the Dedekind's h-function and - theta function were established by the using characteristic values … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Reconstructed Basins Using Pattern Spectrum ProcedureP. RadhakrishnanSeveral classical and Fractal binary shapes, which are akin to geophysical shapes such as basins, lakes, and pore-grain spruce, are analyzed and characterized by employing various mathematical morphological transformations, and methods. By employing rhombus, square and octagon structuring elements, these shapes are decomposed into their skeletal networks and their corresponding skeletal network subsets are dilated to the respective degree by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Note on the Role of Abstraction and Generality in Software DevelopmentPavol Návrat, Roman FilkornAlthough the evolving field of software engineering introduces many methods and modelling techniques, we conjecture that the concepts of abstraction and generality are among the fundamentals of each such methodology. This study proposed a formal representation of these two concepts, along with a two-dimensional space for the representation of their application. Based on the examples, we further elaborate and discuss … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,972 accessesView PDFCite

UsaEstimation of insulation strength of transformer oil and Oil Impregnated Paper (OIP) insulation, which constitutes major portion of insulation in power transformer, is an important task. Also, it is often necessary to evaluate the breakdown strength of oil and OIP under non-standard impulse voltages, since the oil and OIP insulation is subjected to non-standard waveshapes between inter-disc and inter-turn insulation. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom a Vicious Circle of Anxiety to a Virtuous Circle of Learning: Experience of Teaching Statistics to a Heterogeneous ClienteleMohammad Alauddin, James E. ButlerA considerable body of literature suggests that significant psychological barrier and anxiety characterize the teaching and learning process in statistics. This study investigates the incidence of statistics anxiety, the extent to which it can be overcome and the factors that contribute to the process of overcoming it. Self-study and overall teaching quality, amongst others, significantly contributed to this outcome.
