Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Denoising Algorithm for Impulse Noise RemovalA. Rajamani, V. KrishnaveniNow-a-days the images acquired by the digital cameras and defective sensors tend to introduce noises during either image acquisition or transmission process. The quality of the image is degraded in a significant measure. Lot of research works was carried out for several decades to denoise the impulse noise and each approach has its own merits and demerits. This study deals … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 10 Sep 2014 · 6,820 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTRATEGY TO INCREASE THE FARM COMPETITIVENESSFilippo Sgroi, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaItaly’s wine-growing production structure is highly pulverized. So, for many wine-growing farms lowering the production cost represents the only way of gaining a competitive advantage. Production at average unit costs lower than competitors allows to improve profitability. Among farming operations, winter pruning and tying of productive vine-branches require a high human labor. For this reason the paper presents the results … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 16 Jun 2014 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ant-Based Clustering Algorithm with Cluster Analysis TechniquesWafa’a Omar, Amr Badr, Abd El-Fattah HegazyCluster analysis is a data mining technology designed to derive a good understanding of data to solve clustering problems by extracting useful information from a large volume of mixed data elements. Recently, researchers have aimed to derive clustering algorithms from nature’s swarm behaviors. Ant-based clustering is an approach inspired by the natural clustering and sorting behavior of ant colonies. In … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 7 Jun 2013 · 7,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Dispersion and Mean Toassess Healthcare Servicee FficiencyRamalingam ShanmugamMotivation for this research work started while helping a hospital administrator to assess whether patient oriented activity duration, X≥0 is reflecting the service’s efficiency? Higher value of the sample mean duration, X implies lesser productivity in the hospital and more healthcare cost. Likewise, larger value of sample dispersion, sx2 in the service durations is an indicator of lesser reliability and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Quasi Delay Insensitive Reduced Stack Pre-Charged Half Buffer based High Speed Adder using pipeline templates for Asynchronous CircuitsD. Jayanthi, M. RajaramProblem statement: Recent research in asynchronous design technique is making asynchronous circuits an increasingly practical alternative. These challenges include the increasing pressure for low power, the growing challenges of predicting the increasing impact of wire load and delay and the performance penalty associated with supporting communication between different clock domains Asynchronous is binary signals, but there is no common or … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 7 Jun 2012 · 7,084 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManaging Process Hazards in Lab-Scale Pilot Plant for Safe OperationHanida Abdul Aziz, Azmi Mohd Shariff, Mohd Rafizie RoslanIn spite of the OSHA Laboratory and Hazards Communication Standards, incidents which result in injuries and property loss continue to occur in the research and teaching locations. Application of Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) of OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) to laboratory pilot plant operations has the potential to further reduce risk associated with this location. However, a major challenge is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 May 2012 · 9,773 accessesView PDFCite

Anowar Hossain Bhuiyan, Chamhuri Siwar, Shaharuddin Mohamad Ismail, Rabiul IslamProblem statement: Home stay program provided tourists multi ethnic life condition with cultural experiences and economic well beings for the local people. Malaysian home stay program differed from the other commercial home stay in the world. Home stay accommodation can create a scope to the local communities for active participation in tourism activities. Home stay accommodation might be a potential … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 24 May 2012 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSchedule Planning for Repairing Power Supply SystemKuo-Wei Lin, Chein-Jen KangProblem statement: Taiwan is located in the tropical ocean areas. The strong typhoon in summer often causes the collapse of electric transmission towers and results in power outages that seriously affect people’s lives and industrial production. Approach: In light of this situation, this study aims to employ project management techniques of Theory of Constraints (TOC) to develop a practical TOC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Information Systems in Implementing Total Quality ManagementAhmad Zakaria Siam, Khalid Alkhateeb, Sami Al-WaqqadProblem statement: The aim of this study is to identify the extent to which Information Technology (IT) has been used to support TQM in order to identify the role of IT in implementing Total Quality Management (TQM). The primary emphasis of this study was on how IT provides help and supports in TQM processes rather than on TQM performance. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 1 Mar 2012 · 8,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Strategy for Signaling Overhead Reduction in the Proxy Mobile IPv6 ProtocolAdnan J. Jabir, S. Shamala, Z. ZuriatiProblem statement: The rapid growth of the Internet usage has been realized by the Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6). Concurrent to these technological advances is the communication overheads. Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has been standardized to overcome the long handoff latency, packet loss and signaling overhead of MIPv6 and to exempt the mobile node from any involvement in the handoff process. Although … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 13 Feb 2012 · 7,507 accessesView PDFCite
