Abstract: With the coast zone taking the function of evaluating the target, building up with the attribute of maritime space, hydrology, weather, biology, chemistry, geology, economy, transportation, resources, environment, etc. is main contents of the ocean function evaluation mathematics model of science, objective and metered characteristic. Combine the system engineering theories, according to Multiple Objective Decision Making analysis method of the power of entropy, to take the port shipping area as an example, as it is the function carried on the evaluation. As a result, it shows that four ports chosen from excellent go to inferior and in proper order is a port of Qingdao, port of Qinhuangdao, port of Tianjin, port of Dalian one by one in order. The evaluation result agrees with facts.

Abstract: This paper, built an index of sustainable development of science and technology containing environment factors, and measured 30 regions’ index of sustainable development of 2009, with the principal component analysis. This paper found that the sustainable development in science and technology of eastern region had an advantage over central and western region. At the same time this paper analyzed the effects of R&D in high-tech industry using 2001-2007’s panel data, and found that the R&D investment of high-tech industry made R&D’s innovation capability and absorption capacity obtain a larger increase.

Abstract: Mobile phones are nowadays the most popular and widely used means of communication for its compact size, versatility, and ease of handling. Expert systems (ESs) are intelligent software applications that utilize acquired expertise from experts in a specific domain to provide advice to its users through a dialog or a conversation conducted between the user and the ES application. This research project is supported by the deanship of scientific research at Tabuk University in KSA for providing expert system services through Mobile phones. Mobile phones are frequently referred to as “Constrained Computing Devices” for its limited processing, storage and display capabilities. This paper introduces a new diagnosis problem solving model based on analysis of the relations between symptoms and disorders in the form of certainty and severity factors. The paper also introduces a customized knowledge representation suitable for mobile phones limited capabilities using XML language. The proposed model has been developed successfully and tested in the domain of agriculture using real knowledge base acquired by the Central Lab for Agricultural Expert Systems (CLAES) for the Strawberry crop. The obtained results demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed model.

Abstract: Bangladesh is one of the rising countries in the world from economic and human development perspective. Information Communication Technology (ICT) plays a significant role in developing human capital through bringing a revolutionary change in education system specially focusing on the development of rural schools by the use of ICT in imparting education to the students of primary and secondary levels. The government of Bangladesh has taken some initiatives to integrate ICT in education system and one of these is to digitize the academic books both in primary and secondary levels and distribute these across the country so that the students in rural areas can download the books from the Internet at free of cost and thereby facilitate the education system. Government also provides training to the teachers and other authority of the rural school to encourage them to use ICT for both academic and administrative purposes. This paper attempts to identify the various impacts of ICT on education systems focusing on the rural schools in Bangladesh.

Abstract: The hybrid edge detection is the new approach for obtaining information from a specific application like aerial urban remote sensing images. A new edge detection operator is proposed, which is a hybrid one. In this paper, canny filter with scale multiplication and ant colony optimization techniques are identified and implemented for better performance. The output of initial stage edge detection methods analyzed with basic canny edge detection and performance improvement is identified on different application scenario. The result of first stage on different application is given input for the ant colony optimization. Canny edge detectors based on scale multiplication combined with ant colony optimization method result are analyzed. The evaluation is done using different quantitative performance measure on the three standard images.

Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is a very important crop throughout the world, serving as a source of food, feed, and fuel. In this present study, two important agronomic traits associated with kernel, row number per ear (RNpE) and kernel number per row (KNpR), were investigated in a maize recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4, including RNpE and KNpR. Using the obtained data, the descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and correlation analysis were performed using SPSS 11.5 software in the RIL population. The results are beneficial for further developing quantitative trait locus mapping and molecular marker-assisted selection for RNpE and KNpR in maize.
