This problem can be defined as the process of constructing optimized work schedules for staff. In a general sense, it requires the allocation of suitably qualified staff to specific shifts to meet the demands for services of an organization while observing workplace regulations and attempting to satisfy individual work preferences. A monthly shift schedule is prepared to determine the shift duties of each staff considering shift coverage requirements, seniority-based workload rules, and staff work preferences. Due to the large number of conflicting constraints, a multiobjective programming model has been proposed to automate the schedule generation process. The suggested mathematical model has been implemented using Lingo software. The results indicate that high quality solutions can be obtained within a few seconds compared to the manually prepared schedules.
Automatic speech correction: A step to speech recognition for people with disabilities

This system will be combined by an ASR system for disabled people. For this work, we built a lexicon of 4.000.000 Arabic words through which decides if a word is correct or not. A corpus of Arabic texts is also required to provide a standard summarizing the appearance rate of each two-letter (two-phoneme) in the Arabic language. The results of our system were encouraging and present an advantage to other work for people with articulatory disabilities.

Enzymatic analysis showed that three enzymes implicated in glutamate metabolism (glutamate dehydrogenase, 2oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, and glutamate synthase) were affected by this mutation. Sequencing of the chromosomal locus bordering the Tn5 in P121R25 indicated the presence of the dnaK and dnaJ genes in an arrangement similar to that described in R. leguminosarum bv. viciae (GenBank accession number Y14649). The mutation was located in the dnaJ (hsp40) gene.

Biotransformation and partial mineralization of the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) by rhizobia
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2001
Three strains, T10, B5, and M8, each belonging to a different species of the family Rhizobiaceae ... more Three strains, T10, B5, and M8, each belonging to a different species of the family Rhizobiaceae and isolated from atrazine-contaminated soils, were tested for their ability to transform 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) (50 microg x mL(-1)) in liquid cultures using glucose as the C-source. All three strains were able to transform TNT to hydroxylaminodinitrotoluenes (2-HADNT, 4-HADNT), aminodinitrotoluenes (2-ADNT, 4-ADNT), and diaminonitrotoluene (2,4-DANT). The transformation was significantly faster in the presence of glutamate. Furthermore, the major metabolites that accumulated in cultures were 2-ADNT with glucose, and 4-ADNT with glutamate plus glucose. Rhizobium trifolii T10 was also tested for its ability to transform high levels of TNT (approximately 350 microg x mL(-1)) in a soil slurry. Almost 60% of the TNT was transformed within 2 days in bioaugmented soil slurries, and up to 90% when cultures were supplemented with glucose and glutamate. However, mineralization was minimal in all cases, less than 2% in 78 days. This is the first report on the degradation of TNT by rhizobial strains, and our findings suggest that rhizobia have the potential to play an important role in the safe decontamination of soils and sites contaminated with TNT if bioaugmentation with rhizobia is shown to have no ecotoxicological consequence.

Indeed, such infrastructures are the result of the federation of several, geographically dispersed, computers or/and LAN computers over the Internet. Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is considered the most wellknown volunteer computing infrastructure. In this paper, we are interested, rather, by the distribution of the Arabic OCR (Optical Character Recognition) based on the DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) algorithm on the BOINC, in order, to prove again that volunteer computing provides very interesting and promising infrastructures to speed up, at will, several greedy algorithms or applications, especially, the Arabic OCR based on the DTW algorithm. What makes very attractive the Arabic OCR based on the DTW algorithm is the following, first, its ability to recognize, properly, words or sub words, without any prior segmentation, from within a reference library of isolated characters. Second, its good immunity against a wide range of noises. Obtained first results confirm, indeed, that the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing constitutes an interesting and promising framework to speed up the Arabic OCR based on the DTW algorithm.

These individual computers process their portions of the problem, and the results are combined together to form a solution for the original problem. At present, Distributed computing systems can be broadly classified into two methods, namely Grid computing and Volunteer computing. In this paper, we are interested by the distribution of the Arabic OCR (Optical Character Recognition) ...

Unfortunately, the big amount of computing to be achieved by this algorithm during the recognition process makes its execution time very slow. Grid computing presents a very interesting infrastructure that allow to support distributed applications in one hand and to take advantages of the
