Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsing Model for Conductive Percolation in Electrically Conductive Adhesives by Considering Random Arrangement of Conducting ParticlesMora, Sahrul Saehana, Euis Sustini et al.Problem statement: Thermodynamically, particles in composites will arrange in a way such that the Helmholtz free energy is minimized. However, even a single structure has the lowest free energy, it should not ignore the probability of other structures having larger energies to occur, although at small chances. Approach: All possible arrangements of particles in the composites, therefore, must be taken … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 30 May 2012 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariable Neighborhood Simplex Search Methods for Global Optimization ModelsPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Many optimization problems of practical interest are encountered in various fields of chemical, engineering and management sciences. They are computationally intractable. Therefore, a practical algorithm for solving such problems is to employ approximation algorithms that can find nearly optimums within a reasonable amount of computational time. Approach: In this study the hybrid methods combining the Variable Neighborhood Search … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2012 · 6,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurve Fitting Using Conic by Evolutionary ComputingZainor Ridzuan Yahya, Abd Rahni Mt Piah, Ahmad Abd MajidProblem statement: A direct method, such as least squares technique is usually used to solve problems involving matching a curve or a surface to a set of data points. The solution obtained by this direct method is precise or very good in approximation, but computationally not very efficient. Thus, in this study, we propose an indirect approach using Particle Swarm … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2012 · 6,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Concept of Event-Driven TimeSergey K. AityanThe most fascinating feature of time is that there is no time at all. This study introduces the concept of event-driven time. Time is considered a count of changes or events that set up a local “clock” in each system. With such an approach, every system runs its own local time. Time does not exist without changes in the system. … …Physics International, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 26 Jan 2012 · 8,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Three-Way Unbalance Nested Analysis of VarianceSmaila S. Sanni, Eugene C. UkaegbuProblem statement: In this study, we give a simple analytically tractable procedure for solving three-way unbalanced nested Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). In many realistic situations, unbalanced design was unavoidable due to natural constraints and missing data. Approach: Here, we present a comprehensive approach for addressing solutions of problems arising from unbalanced nested ANOVA. We consider the F-statistics under the different … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Hydrogen/Oxygen Release Compounds for the Remediation of VOCsS. Fiore, M.C. ZanettiProblem statement: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) were widespread in groundwater of industrialized areas and in situ remediation intervents characterized by a high environmental compatibility were of main interest. The scope of this study was the evaluation of the potential of two innovative reagents (HRC and ORC from Regenesis) for the remediation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The reagents respectively perform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 4 Nov 2011 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Channel Equalization Using Multiplicative Neural Network for Rayleigh Faded ChannelP. Sivakumar, N. Chithra, S. N. Sivanandam, M. RajaramProblem statement: Digital transmission over band-limited communication channel largely suffers from ISIS and various noise sources. The presence of ISI and noise causes bit errors in the received signal. Equalization is necessary at the receiver to overcome these channel impairment to recover the original transmitted sequence. Traditionally equalization is considered as equivalent to inverse filtering and implemented using linear-perform under … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 18 Aug 2011 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccurate Orthogonal Circular Moment Invariants of Gray-Level ImagesKhalid Mohamed HosnyProblem statement: Orthogonal circular moments of gray level images such as Zernike, pseudo Zernike and Fourier-Mellin moments are widely used in different applications of image processing, pattern recognition and computer vision. Computational processes of these moments and their translation and scale invariants still an open area of research. Approach: a unified methodology is presented for efficient and accurate computation of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Exact Root Algorithm for Computing the Real Roots of an Nth Degree PolynomialE. A. Adebile, V. I. IdokoProblem statement: The need to find an efficient and reliable algorithm for computing the exact real roots of the steady-state polynomial encountered in the investigation of temperature profiles in biological tissues during Microwave heating and other similar cases as found in the literature gave rise to this study. Approach: The algorithm (simply called ERA-Exact Root Algorithm) adopted polynomial deflation technique … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvariant Image Watermarking Using Accurate Zernike MomentsIsmail A. Ismail, Mohamed A. Shouman, Khalid M. Hosny, Hayam M. Abdel SalamProblem statement: Digital image watermarking is the most popular method for image authentication, copyright protection and content description. Zernike moments are the most widely used moments in image processing and pattern recognition. The magnitudes of Zernike moments are rotation invariant so they can be used just as a watermark signal or be further modified to carry embedded data.
