Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantum Key Distribution Using Decoy State ProtocolSellami Ali, Shuhairi Saharudin, M. R.B. WahiddinProblem statement: Quantum key distribution provides unconditional security guaranteed by the fundamental laws of quantum physics. Unfortunately, for real-life experimental set-ups, which mainly based on faint laser pulses, the occasional production of multi-photons and channel loss make it possible for sophisticated eavesdroppers to launch various subtle eavesdropping attacks including the Photon Number Splitting (PNS) attack. The decoy state protocols recently … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Quality Management Practices Within the Healthcare IndustryWilliam J. Miller, Andrew T. Sumner, Richard H. DeaneProblem Statement: Considerable effort has been devoted over the years by many organizations to adopt quality management practices, but few studies have assessed critical factors that affect quality practices in healthcare organizations. The problem addressed in this study was to assess the critical factors influencing the quality management practices in a single important industry (i.e., healthcare). Approach: A survey instrument … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,361 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSlantlet Transform for Multispectral Image FusionAdnan Hadi M. Al-Helali, Hamza A. Ali, Buthainah Al-Dulaimi et al.Problem statement: Image fusion is a process by which multispectral and panchromatic images, or some of their features, are combined together to form a high spatial/high spectral resolutions image. The successful fusion of images acquired from different modalities or instruments is a great importance issue in remote sensing applications. Approach: A new method of image fusion was introduced. It was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Reconfigurable Execution Core for Merged DSP MicrocontrollerA. K. Rath, P. K. MeherThe study presents an execution core which can be reconfigured either for calculation of digital convolution or for computation of discrete orthogonal transform by appropriate local buffer initialization of processing cells. It is shown that the data flow pattern can be changed by a single bit control signal. The proposed core can be connected to port 1 of Intel 8051 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,483 accessesView PDFCite

It was a challenging task for researchers to study the different dynamic properties explores its special dynamical properties, including conditions that insure the stability of the cutting process and the associated nonlinear vibrations. The main goal of this study was to develop and study a simple model, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of a Novel Concatenated FEC by RS and Irregular Turbo Codes on OFDM SystemsA. Shanmugam, A. R. Abdul Rajak, S. Vishwanath, R. UpendraCode Division Multiple Access (CDMA) performs well in a multi-cellular environment where a single frequency is used in all cells. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) has severe problems associated with multipath and Channel news. One possible problem is that the receiver may require a very large dynamic range in order to handle the large signal strength variation among users. Due … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Palmprint Identification based on High Order Zernike MomentR. Gayathri, P. RamamoorthyProblem statement: Hand geometry contains relatively invariant features of an individual. Palmprint recognition is an efficient biometric solution for authentication system. The existence of several hand-based authentication commercial systems indicates the effectiveness of this type of biometric. Approach: We proposed a palmprint verification system using high order Zernike moment that was robust to rotation, translation and occlusion. Zernike moment was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcoustic Echo Cancellation: Dual Architecture ImplementationB. Stark, B. D. BarkanaProblem statement: With the rise in mobile communication, it is becoming more frequent to use a communication device in an enclosed noisy environment, such as a subway or in a lobby. In this setting however, the received microphone is severely degraded by the echo from the speaker and background noise. The audio processing necessary to clarify the desired speech can … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAI Cancellation in DS/CDMA using a new Approach on WDSY. Jabrane, R. Iqdour, B. Ait Es said, N. NajaThe steeping chip weighting waveforms are used in Multiple Access Interference cancellation by emphasizing the received spreading signal, therefore, that allows to solve the problem of orthogonality for the chip waveforms. The goal of this study was to elaborate a useful method based on fuzzy systems to determine the despreading sequences weighted by the steeping chip weighting waveforms for Direct … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,884 accessesView PDFCite
