Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Noises on the Analysis of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In speech communication, noises from surrounding environments affect the communication quality with various aspects. The received speech quality should be analyzed to see how the important noises reduce the speech quality so that we can eliminate them in an appropriate way. Approach: This study presents a study on the analysis of the noise effects on Thai speech. Four … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 6,827 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Cybersecurity: Dynamically Retrainable Firewalls for Real-Time Network ProtectionSina AhmadiThe growing complexity of cyberattacks has necessitated the evolution of firewall technologies from static models to adaptive, machine learning-driven systems. This research introduces “Dynamically Retrainable Firewalls”, which respond to emerging threats in real-time. Unlike traditional firewalls that rely on static rules to inspect traffic, these advanced systems leverage machine learning algorithms to analyze network traffic patterns dynamically and identify threats. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 9 · 7 Nov 2025 · 2,558 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiversity and Resistance of Bacteria Isolated from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Surfaces and the Hands of Nurses in Jeddah-Saudi ArabiaRoqaiah M. Al-Jabri, Ahmed M. Al-Hejin, Rukaia Gashgari et al.Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are a serious problem for neonates when admitted to NICUs. The healthcare environment and healthcare workers' hands may be a source of transmission. Therefore, there is a need to find microbial sources and identify the contaminants to improve disinfection protocols to reduce HAIs. Out of the 169 samples collected on nutrient agar media from NICUs of a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2022 · 5,828 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Resource Evaluation and Identifying Groundwater Potential Zones in Arid area using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information SystemM.M. Kamruzzaman, Saad Awadh Alanazi, Madallah Alruwaili et al.Groundwater resource is the main conventional source of fresh water all over the world. However, recent revelations indicated that the shortage of water resources remains the main challenge for the arid areas. In this regard, identifying groundwater potential zones or areas can help to improve the availability of fresh water and effective management of groundwater in arid areas. This work … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 3 Mar 2020 · 8,870 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Impact Assessment of Quarrying Plants: An IRF Kriging Solution to Noise and Airborne Dust MonitoringDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariA geostatistical approach is tested for the assessment of the environmental impact generated by industrial plants on the surrounding areas. To this end, a case study of a tuff quarry in the Italian region of Lazio is presented. The method utilised is Intrinsic Kriging with external drift which allows spatial maps of different hazardous agents like noise and airborne dust … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2019 · 7,885 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Different Environments on Reinforcement Concrete CorrosionMohammed Thalji Awwad, Omar Asad AhmadThis research focuses on various forms of steel bar corrosion located in different environments and the factors affecting the corrosion process, both the external (surrounding environment around concrete elements) and the internal environment (concrete itself), as well as on the investigations and tests for this type of damage, in order to develop measurements and recommendations that will reduce harmful investment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 15 Sep 2017 · 7,805 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlomalin Production and Microbial Activity in Soils Impacted by Gypsum Mining in a Brazilian Semiarid AreaAdalia Cavalcanti do Espírito Santo Mergulhao, Helio Almeida Burity, Fabio Sérgio Barbosa da Silva et al.Problem statement: Mining activities involve the removal of the vegetal cover and the soil organic layer, causing a severe environmental impact. In Northeast Brazil, 40% of the world’s crude gypsum is found in a semiarid area, making this region responsible for 95% of the gypsum demand in the national market. Although economically important, this activity is harmful to the environment. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 9,023 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach in Design and Operating Principle of Silicone Tactile SensorBakri Ali, Rozaini Othman, Rasdi Deraman, Muhammad Azmi AyubProblem statement: Research and development in tactile sensor are escalating due to the fact that advanced robot needs to interact with surrounding environments which is very complex, dynamic, uncontrolled and difficult to perceive reliably. Recent research has been focusing in development of new tactile sensor that takes advantage of advances in materials, Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) and semiconductor technology. To date, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,347 accessesView PDF Cite
