Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Tactile Sensor for Detection of Skin Surface Morphology and its Application in Telemedicine SystemsRoozbeh Khodambashi, Siamak Najarian, Ali Tavakoli Golpaygani et al.We proposed a new type of tactile sensor that is capable of determining the surface morphology of skin lesions. The sensor consists of a brass cylinder with an axial bore. Three peripheral bobbins were machined in the cylinder around which three coils have been wound. An iron core can easily move inside the bore. One of the coils acts as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Complexity Paradigm: Implications for Information Systems and their Strategic PlanningIndranil MukherjeeThe complexity framework was employed to analyse Information Systems and the strategic planning process associated with them. We provided an overview of the theories of complexity and their significance. The salient features of strategic planning for information systems were discussed and the need for a new paradigm, viz. complexity was pointed out. The concept of Class of a Complex System … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFace Recognition Based on Nonlinear Feature ApproachEimad E.A. Abusham, Andrew T.B. Jin, Wong E. Kiong, G. DebashisFeature extraction techniques are widely used to reduce the complexity high dimensional data. Nonlinear feature extraction via Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) has attracted much attention due to their high performance. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach for face recognition to address the challenging task of recognition using integration of nonlinear dimensional reduction Locally Linear Embedding integrated with Local … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards Persistence Framework-Based Rapid Application Development Toolkit for Web Application DevelopmentChoon H. Choo, Sai P. LeeSoftware systems must be delivered quickly in order to respond to today's rapid changing business environments. Persistence framework was introduced to overcome the problem of object-relational impedance mismatch, occurred in most enterprise applications that need access to a relational database. However, most of these persistence frameworks are difficult to configure and use, thus do not really contribute much to the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Private Sector's Role in limiting unemployment in JordanKhaled M.M.Abu AliqahThis study is aimed to define unemployment, and private sector, to know more about both, and to study the role of the private sector in limiting unemployment in Jordan in special. In a particular year the level of unemployment is determined by the level of aggregate demand for the goods and services which a country produces .if demand higher this … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Clustering Protocols in Mobile Ad hoc NetworksSharmila J. Francis, Elijah B. RajsinghNetwork clustering is an important technique widely used in efficient MANETs network management, hierarchical routing protocol design, network modeling, Quality of Service, etc. Recently many researchers are focusing on clustering which is one of the fundamental problems in mobile ad hoc networks. This article presents the descriptions of recently proposed clustering algorithms and is categorized into different approaches that support … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic and Non-Hormetic Dose-Response Functions in Stress Effects on Memory and Synaptic Plasticity: Issues and MechanismsPhillip R. Zoladz, David M. DiamondOver a century of behavioral research has shown that stress can exert both positive and negative effects on memory. We have explored the idea that the complex effects of stress on learning and memory can be characterized by hormetic- and non-hormetic dose-response functions, in which stress may either stimulate or impair brain memory mechanisms, depending, in part, on the timing … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormesis: Principles and Applications for Pharmacology and ToxicologyEdward J. CalabreseThe present assessment places hormetic dose responses within an historical context, documenting its origin, rejection by the biomedical community during the early decades of the 20th due to its close association with homeopathy and its revitalization during the later decades of the past century as the biomedical and toxicological communities became very interested in low dose effects of drugs and … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Quality of Clustering using Cellular Automata for Information retrievalP. K. Sree, G. V.S. Raju, I. R. Babu, S. V. RajuClustering has been widely applied to Information Retrieval (IR) on the grounds of its potential improved effectiveness over inverted file search. Clustering is a mostly unsupervised procedure and the majority of the clustering algorithms depend on certain assumptions in order to define the subgroups present in a data set .A clustering quality measure is a function that, given a data … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJTst- An Automated Unit Testing Tool for Java ProgramKamal Zuhairi Zamli, Nor Ashidi Mat IsaSoftware testing is an integral part of software development lifecycle. Lack of testing can often lead to disastrous consequences including lost of data, fortunes, and even lives. Despite its importance, current software testing practice lacks automation, and is still primarily based on highly manual processes from the generation of test cases up to the actual execution of the test. Although … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
