Cloud computing is an emerging concept of information technology that in many countries has an influence on many companies. The research was conducted to evaluate cloud computing adoption in Saudi Arabia; Benefits and hindrances for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The qualitative research approach is performed by interviews with the management of a variety of SMEs active in the infor...

Quantifying the uncertainty of cloud retrievals is an emerging topic important for both cloud process studies and modeling studies. This paper presents a general approach to estimate uncertainties in ground-based retrievals of cloud properties. This approach, called the perturbation method, quantifies the cloud retrieval uncertainties by perturbing the cloud retrieval influential factors (like ...

In the clinic. the traditional method to obtain Evoked Potential (EP) is the calculated average value of repeated measurements. This is infficient and inaccurate. An adaptive signal enhancement filter embedded with Least Mean Square (LMS) or Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm is an ffictive tool. It significantly decreases the number of repeat measurements needed to obtain satisfactory resu...

An efficient method to segment eyed typhoon from a satellite cloud image is proposed. First, original satellite cloud image is enhanced by gray transform. Second, in order to reduce the computation burden to segment the whole satellite cloud image, single threshold segmentation based on Bezier histogram is implemented to the original satellite cloud image. Some small unrelated cloud masses are ...

The cloud computing is considered as a computational model which provides the uses requests with resources upon any demand and needs.The need for planning the scheduling of the user's jobs has emerged as an important challenge in the field of cloud computing. It is mainly due to several reasons, including ever-increasing advancements of information technology and an increase of applications and...

In this paper, a new method for constructing NURBS surfaces from scattered and unorganized points is presented. The method is easy to implement and allows fitting a NURBS surface to a scattered point cloud without constructing either NURBS patches networks or polygon meshes. Based on the projection of the points onto the regression plane of the cloud, the method detects both regions where the c...

we present a collocation method to obtain the approximate solutionof troesch's problem which arises in the confinement of a plasmacolumn by radiation pressure and applied physics. by using thechristov rational functions and collocation points, this methodtransforms troesch's problem into a system of nonlinear algebraicequations. the rate of convergence is shown to be exponential. then...

Whereas recently cloud computing has gained enormous interest in research and practice, the deployment of cloud computing in larger companies and multi-nationals is still in its infancy. Practice often lacks a sufficiently specific, yet applicable method to determine a company's cloud readiness and to identify and assess IT services to be taken to the cloud. This paper introduces such a field-t...

Cloud computing technology is providing businesses, be it micro, small, medium, and large scale enterprises with the same level playing grounds. Small and Medium enterprises (SMEs) that have adopted the cloud are taking their businesses to greater heights with the competitive edge that cloud computing offers. The limitations faced by (SMEs) in procuring and maintaining IT infrastructures has be...

Cloud Computing, the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way IT hardware is designed and purchased. Virtualization technology forms a key concept for new cloud computing architectures. The data centers are used to provide cloud services burdening a significant...
