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 · 6,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGranulomatous Amoebic Encephalitis: Clinical Diagnosis and ManagementNaveed Ahmed KhanGranulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) is a serious human disease with fatal consequences. With the mortality rate of more than 90%, it is not surprising that the majority of GAE infections are identified at the post-mortem stage. The most distressing aspect is that the high level of mortality is attributed to lack of awareness. Early diagnosis with aggressive treatment can lead … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,195 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterest-based Recommendation in Digital LibraryYan Yang, Jian Zhong LiWith the huge amount and large variety of information available in a digital library, it’s becoming harder and harder for users to identify and get hold of their interested documents. To alleviate the difficulty, personalized recommendation techniques have been developed. Current recommendation techniques rely on similarity between documents. In our work, recommendations are made based on three factors: similarity between … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial Effect of Untreated and Treated (Decolorized) Dyes by Agricultural WastesSibel Kahraman, Pelin YalcinToxicity (antibacterial effect) of untreated and treated (decolorized) dyes on a soil bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined. Low cost and easily available two agricultural residues (cotton stalk and apricot seed) as biosorbents were used to remove Astrazone Black and Astrazone Yellow from aqueous solution. The removal of these dyes with agricultural wastes reduced the toxic effect on P. aeruginosa.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsidering Environmental Externalities in Technology Selection: the Case of Urban Buses for AthensDimitrios A. GeorgakellosThe present study proposes a procedure for considering the environmental externalities in technology selection decision-making, based on the outcome of Life Cycle Assessments. Currently, even if there are several methods available for technology selection and purchasing, almost all of them seem to ignore the external cost associated with the candidates. The main features of the proposed model are its simplicity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtending UML-RT for Control System ModelingQimin Gao, L. J. Brown, L. F. CapretzThere is a growing interest in adopting object technologies for the development of real-time control systems. Several commercial tools, currently available, provide object-oriented modeling and design support for real-time control systems. While these products provide many useful facilities, such as visualization tools and automatic code generation, they are all weak in addressing the central characteristic of real-time control systems design, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite
