Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAflatoxin B1 Residues in Eggs and Flesh of Laying Hens Fed Aflatoxin B1 Contaminated DietSaqer Mohammad HerzallahAflatoxin B1(AFB1) and total Aflatoxins (AFT) contaminated feed effect on aflatoxins residue level in eggs, muscles (breast, leg), organs (liver, kidney, gizzard) and excreted aflatoxins in chicken litter of layer hens were monitored. Laying hens were on four levels of aflatoxins for 6 weeks and monitored weekly for the change in both AFB1 and AFT levels. Pronouncedly, the AFB1 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 8 Jul 2013 · 9,428 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Robust Recognition System for Pecan Weevil using Artificial Neural NetworksSaleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Pecan Weevil is a widely found pest among pecan trees and these pests are known to cause significant damage to the pecan trees resulting in enormous annual losses to pecan growers. Traditional identification techniques for pecan weevil include traps with pheromones to detect the infestation of these pests. However, these traditional methods require expensive labor hours to set-up … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 6,836 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Reliable Identification System for Red Palm WeevilSaleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is a widely found pest among palm trees and is known to cause significant losses every year to palm growers. Existing identification techniques for RPW comprise of using traps with pheromones to detect these pests. However, these traditional methods are labor-intensive, expensive to implement and unreliable for early detection of RPW infestation. Early detection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 18 Jun 2012 · 7,020 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSupport Vector Machine Based Red Palm Weevil (Rynchophorus Ferrugineous, Olivier) Recognition SystemGhulam Mubashar Hassan, Saleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Red palm weevil (Rynchophorus Ferrugineous, Oliveir) is an insect which threatens the existence of palm trees. The proposed research is to develop a RPW identification system using Support Vector Machine method. The problem is to extract image features from an image and using SVM to find out the existence of RPW in an image. Approach: Images are snapped … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Jan 2012 · 7,737 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPecan Weevil Recognition Using Support Vector Machine MethodGhulam Mubashar Hassan, Saleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: The Pecan weevil was considered as the most dangerous pest of Pecan fruits. The aim of this research is to evaluate Support Vector Machine method (SVM) for identifying Pecan Weevil among other insects. Eventually, this recognition system will serve in a wireless imaging network for monitoring Pecan Weevils. Approach: SVM has been evaluated using two different kernel functions … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2011 · 7,927 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesRed Palm Weevil (Rynchophorus Ferrugineous, Olivier) Recognition by Image Processing TechniquesSaleh Mufleh Al-Saqer, Ghulam Mubashar HassanProblem statement: Red palm weevil is the most destructive insect for palm trees all over the world. This research is part of developing an automated wireless red palm weevil detection and control system. The focus for this study was to develop red palm Weevil recognition system which can detect RPW in an image and can be used in wireless image … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 9,103 accessesView PDF Cite
