Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Tool for Generation and Minimization of Test Suite by Mutant Gene AlgorithmSelvakumar Subramanian, Ramaraj NatarajanProblem statement: This study proposes a new idea for generation of minimized test suite in the test case generation using the mutant gene algorithm, which not only identifies the best test cases but also reduces the number of test cases generated, selects test cases optimally there improving the performance in testing of software. Test cases are generated by using branch … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 9 Aug 2011 · 7,164 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIterative Channel Estimation Algorithm in Multiple Input Multiple Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing SystemsMona Nasseri, Hamidreza BakhshiProblem statement: The objective of this study is improving channel estimation accuracy in MIMO-OFDM system because channel state information is required for signal detection at receiver and its accuracy affects the overall performance of system and it is essential to improve the channel estimation for more reliable communications. MIMO-OFDM system was chosen in this study because it has been widely … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing Urea with Humic Acid and Acid Sulphate Soil on Ammonia Loss, Exchangeable Ammonium and Available NitrateMohd Taufik Mohd Yusuff, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab MajidProblem statement: Ammonia loss due to rapid hydrolysis of urea in soil following surface application can be substantial. Ammonia loss in agriculture is estimated to be 1 to 60%. This laboratory study compared the effect of three different urea-humic acid-acid sulphate soil mixtures on NH3 loss and soil ammonium and nitrate contents, with loss from surface applied urea without additives … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDigital Video Watermarking in the Discrete Cosine Transform DomainSadik Ali M. Al-Taweel, Putra Sumari, Saleh Ali K. Alomari, Anas J.A. HusainProblem statement: Nowadays, digital watermarks have recently become recognized as a solution for protecting copyright of the digital multimedia. For a watermark to be useful, it must be perceptually invisible and robust against any possible attack and image processing by those who seek to corsair the material, researchers have considered various approaches like JPEG compression, geometric distortions and noising.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Statistical Speech Segmentation Using Connectionist ApproachM. S. Salam, Dzulkifli Mohamad, S. H. SallehProblem statement: Speech segmentation is an important part for speech recognition, synthesizing and coding. Statistical based approach detects segmentation points via computing spectral distortion of the signal without prior knowledge of the acoustic information proved to be able to give good match, less omission but lot of insertion. These insertion points dropped segmentation accuracy. Approach: This study proposed a fusion … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,680 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing Effectiveness of IDS to Improve Security in IntranetUmesh Kumar Singh, A. K. Ramani, Narendra S. Chaudhari, Vandana GuptaToday Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are becoming one of the most important tools for intranet security. Research regarding Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) has become more active with the recent increases in illegal accesses to computer systems. Many researchers focus only on the techniques or mechanisms for detecting intrusions automatically, without considering the security of IDSs themselves. When an intruder attacks … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
