Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch on the Decision Model for Self-Production and Outsourcing Choices under Limited Production CapacityYu-Teng Chang, Chih-Yao LoProblem statement: In the face of competitive environments with uncertain demands and a trend toward High-Mix, Low-Volume (HMLV) production, self-production or direct outsourcing has troubled decision-makers of enterprise for a long time. In the previous studies, not much has been written about the topic. Approach: Therefore, this study applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to investigate the topic through either … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 May 2011 · 7,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Efficiency Measurement of Parallel Production Systems: A Non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis ModelAli Ashrafi, Azmi Bin Jaafar, Mohd Rizam Abu Bakar, Lai Soon LeeProblem statement: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric technique for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of production systems or Decision Making Units (DMU) that have multiple inputs and outputs. Sometimes, DMUs have a parallel structure, in which systems composed of parallel units work individually; the sum of their own inputs/outputs is the input/output of the system. For … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 9,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHalf-bounded Numerical Solution of Singular Integral Equations with Cauchy KernelM. Abdulkawi, Z. K. Eshkuvatov, N.M.A. Nik LongProblem statement: In this study, a numerical solution for singular integral equations of the first kind with Cauchy kernel over the finite segment [-1,1] is presented. The numerical solution is bounded at x =1 and unbounded at x = -1. Approach: The numerical solution is derived by approximating the unknown density function using the weighted Chebyshev polynomials of the fourth … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Urban Quality of Life in a Developing CountrySedigheh Lotfi, Amin Faraji, Husain Hataminejad, Ahmad PourahmadProblem statement: The rapid growth of urbanization has led to degradation of quality of life in many developing countries. The qualitative approach towards development concepts provided background for studying the object of quality of life. This concept was declared by Raymond Bauer in 1966 in response to the increase of urban crisis. Today, quality of life refers to the capacity … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 21 Mar 2011 · 8,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Performance of Machine Learning Based Multi Attribute Face Recognition Algorithm Using Wavelet Based Image Decomposition TechniqueS. Sakthivel, M. RajaramProblem statement: Recognizing a face based attributes is an easy task for a human to perform; it is closely automated and requires little mental effort. A computer, on the other hand, has no innate ability to recognize a face or a facial feature and must be programmed with an algorithm to do so. Generally, to recognize a face, different kinds … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Modified Gaussian Mixture Model for Color-Texture SegmentationM. Sujaritha, S. AnnaduraiProblem statement: This study presents a new, simple and efficient modified Gaussian mixture model based clustering algorithm for color-texture segmentation. The proposed mixture model introduces a new component density function which incorporates spatial information and the weighting factor for neighborhood effect is fully adaptive to the image content. Approach: It enhances the smoothness towards piecewise-homogeneous segmentation and reduces the edge-blurring … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomating Commercial Video Game Development using Computational IntelligenceTse Guan Tan, Jason Teo, Patricia AnthonyProblem statement: The retail sales of computer and video games have grown enormously during the last few years, not just in United States (US), but also all over the world. This is the reason a lot of game developers and academic researchers have focused on game related technologies, such as graphics, audio, physics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the goal … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,623 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Technique for Quality Evaluation of E-Learning from Developers PerspectiveMajdi Abdellatief, Abu Bakar Md Sultan, Marzanah A. Jabar, Rusli AbdullahProblem statement: E-learning is gaining more acceptance as days pass because it provides learning opportunity any time and in any place. Different people have different preferences in terms of learning style such as reading text, listing audio or video, speaking and communication. To support these different learning preferences, there is need for multiple e-learning delivery methods and teaching techniques. Furthermore, … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 9,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Genetic Algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem with Multi-RelationsSupat PatvichaichodProblem statement: The aim of this research is to investigate the Traveling Salesman Problems with Multi-Relations (TSPMR) in which each of the vertices has several edges and different weights. The study concerns the weights fluctuated by time in which the problem has more complexity than general TSP problem. However, this type of problem closes to the real-world situation in engineering … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2011 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,106 accessesView PDFCite
