Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobustness Results for Hierarchical Diff-EDF Scheduling upon Heterogeneous Real-Time Packet NetworksMoutaz Saleh, Zulaiha Ali OthmanPacket networks are currently enabling the integration of traffic with a wide range of characteristics that extend from video traffic with stringent QoS requirements to the best-effort traffic requiring no guarantees. QoS guarantees can be provided in conventional packet networks by the use of proper packet scheduling algorithms. As a computer revolution, many scheduling algorithms have been proposed to provide … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Aorta Artery Aneurysms Using Active Electronic CircuitKamran Hassani, Mahdi Navidbakhsh, Mostafa RostamiThe fusiform and saccular aneurysms in different aorta artery sections were studied using an electronic circuit of cardiovascular system. The geometrical model of each artery section including thoracic and abdominal were generated in accordance with original anatomical data. By increasing the rate of aneurysm in each studied section, the pressure drop were calculated using CFD method, furthermore the compliance variations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTask Load Balancing Strategy for Grid ComputingB. Yagoubi, Y. SlimaniWorkload and resource management are two essential functions provided at the service level of the Grid software infrastructure. To improve the global throughput of these environments, effective and efficient load balancing algorithms are fundamentally important. Most strategies were developed in mind, assuming homogeneous set of resources linked with homogeneous and fast networks. However for computational Grids we must address main … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,605 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Detection using Geometric Invariant MomentMohamed Rizon, Haniza Yazid, Puteh Saad et al.Geometric moment invariant produces a set of feature vectors that are invariant under shifting, scaling and rotation. The technique is widely used to extract the global features for pattern recognition due to its discrimination power and robustness. In this paper, moment invariant is used to identify the object from the captured image using the first invariant (Ø1). The recognition rate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Oct 2006 · 6,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPathophysiology of Adipocyte Defects and Dyslipidemia in HIV Lipodystrophy: New Evidence from Metabolic and Molecular StudiesAshok Balasubramanyam, Rajagopal V. Sekhar, Farook Jahoor et al.Despite a burgeoning mass of descriptive information regarding the epidemiology, clinical features, body composition changes, hormonal alterations and dyslipidemic patterns in patients with HIV lipodystrophy syndrome (HLS), the specific biochemical pathways that are dysregulated in the condition and the molecular mechanisms that lead to their dysfunction, remain relatively unexplored. In this paper, we review studies that detail the metabolic basis … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Approaches for Predicting Break Indices in Mandarin Speech SynthesisShao Yan-qiu, Zhao Yong-zhen, Han Ji-qing, Liu TingThis study adopts a large-scale corpus with five-tier break indices annotated according to C-TOBI. Based on it, several approaches, N-gram, Markov model and decision tree learning are applied to predict break indices automatically for unrestricted mandarin text. These approaches differ mutually not only in model, but also on features and even part-of-speech tag size. A deep comparison and analysis among … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Heat Treatment Parameters on Distribution and Volume Fraction of Mg2Si in the Structural Al 6063 AlloyG. Al-MarahlehAluminum Profiles -Production by extrusion from aluminum billets require a certain degree of homogeneity because of the segregated second phase particles, which are available in the as cast structure of the billets. Worldwide practice suggests a long homogenizing process at elevated temperatures in order to achieve such condition. This study showed that profiles extruded from homogenized and unhomogenized billets did … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 8 May 2006 · 7,783 accessesView PDFCite
