Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Average Contour of Thais Skulls for Design of ImplantsKhemachit Sena, Surasith PiyasinIn this study, 100 dry skulls of Thais collected at the Srinagarind Hospital in Khon Kaen, Thailand were CT scanned and served for the investigation of the geometric average contour of Thais skulls. Moreover, measurements of distances between landmark points on skulls (cranial anthropometry) were made with this set of skulls for future standardization of skull implants. Thus the main … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeaching Computer Organization and Architecture Using Simulation and FPGA ApplicationsKasim M. Al-AubidyThis paper presents the design concepts and realization of incorporating micro-operation simulation and FPGA implementation into a teaching tool for computer organization and architecture. This teaching tool helps computer engineering and computer science students to be familiarized practically with computer organization and architecture through the development of their own instruction set, computer programming and interfacing experiments. A two-pass assembler has … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Government Readiness Assessment ModelAhmed Al-Omari, Hussein Al-OmariThis study presents a general framework model for E-Government Readiness Assessment. There are six necessary key factors to implement any E-government initiative worldwide. These factors represent the basic components to be assessed before launching the "e-initiative" to guarantee the right implementation in the right direction. The organization building blocks need to be assessed are: Organizational Readiness, Governance and leadership Readiness, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 8,307 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMigration from Relational Database into Object Oriented DatabaseMansaf Alam, Siri Krishan WasanObject-Oriented Technology is an important discipline in the field of software engineering in general and it is, therefore, natural to ask whether it is relevant to the field of database management in particular and what that relevance is. There is, however, no consensus on answer to these questions. Some authorities believe that object oriented database systems will take over the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Automatic Transformation Method from the E3value Model to IFML Model: An MDA ApproachNassim Kharmoum, Soumia Ziti, Yassine Rhazali, Fouzia OmaryNowadays the software industry has known a significant growth, while the end-users have become very demanding. In this sense, the model transformation has become one of the essential solutions to ensure competitiveness in the field of the software industry domain. For that, the Object Management Group (OMG) proposes for the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) approach three abstraction levels, namely Computation Independent … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 6 · 12 Jun 2019 · 7,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluating the Usability of Model Transformations Testing Approach (MTTA)Lukman Ab. Rahim, Ziyaulhaq Aliyu, Emy E. MustaphaModel Transformation (MT) is a key component in Model Driven Development (MDD). Model transformation is used to transform source model into a target model, improve the model quality and also introduce the design pattern and refactoring. Model transformation are not free from bugs similar to other software development artifacts and it needs to be verified. Code Generators (CG) are a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2017 · 7,675 accessesView PDFCite

Prasad et al.Eliciting requirements is one of the key aspects of the software development life cycle. Incorrect determination of the requirements can lead to the failure of the projects. Traditional waterfall method does not accommodate changing requirements easily while agile methodology welcomes the changing requirements even at the later phases of the development life cycle. The aim of the research is to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 27 Feb 2019 · 8,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Optimization of a Porous Ti6Al4V Bone Construct Using Additive ManufacturingJeffrey Wilk, Glenn Sanders, Shelby Marks et al.Patient specific implants are becoming viable treatment options in some orthopaedic applications through advances in additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques. One potential application is for treatment of segmental bone defects, particularly in patients suffering from bone cancer. Current treatment options are: Amputation, megaprosthesis, or allografts. These treatments are often highly invasive, may require a partial/full joint replacement and are … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2017 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHydraulic Flow through Engineering Bentonite-Based Containment BarriersEric Wooi Kee Loh, Devapriya Chitral WijeyesekeraThis paper presents the use of software modelling as a tool to study the impact of hydraulic "resistivity" on the contaminant transport through bentonite-based containment barriers. A sensitivity analysis on the predicted data was carried out by varying the boundary conditions as well as the hydraulic resistance to flow through varying contaminant transport parameters. Accordingly, both advective and diffusive flow … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2015 · 6,703 accessesView PDFCite
