Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis Heat Flow Between Seat and Valve of ICEM.H. Shojaefard, A.R. Noorpoor, M. Ghaffarpour, F. MohammadiAn interesting application of system identification method is to investigate the heat transfer from the exhaust valve, especially the valve burning at high temperatures. This study consists of experimental and analytical works. For the experiment, two co-axial rods were used to transfer heat constantly at their contact surfaces. Using the measured temperatures at different locations of the rods and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solutions of the Multispecies Predator-Prey Model by Variational Iteration MethodKhaled BatihaThe main objective of the current work was to solve the multispecies predator-prey model. The techniques used here were called the variational iteration method (VIM) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The advantage of this work is twofold. Firstly, the VIM reduces the computational work. Secondly, in comparison with existing techniques, the VIM is an improvement with regard to its … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Based On Color and Textural Features in Microscopic Images of Esophagus TissuesP. S. Hiremath, Y. Humnabad Iranna, Jagadeesh D. PujariThis paper presents a method for feature extraction using color and texture from microscopic images of esophagus tissues obtained from the abnormal regions of human esophagus detected through endoscopy. This method is used for classification of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of esophagus, namely, poorly differentiated SCC, moderately differentiated SCC, and well differentiated SCC. Three different color spaces, namely, HSV, YCbCr, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQualitative Ferromagnetic Hysteresis ModelingM. Mordjaoui, M. Chabane, B. Boudjema, R. DairaIn determining the electromagnetic properties of magnetic materials, hysteresis modeling is of high importance. Many models are available to investigate those characteristics but they tend to be complex and difficult to implement. A new qualitative hysteresis model for ferromagnetic core presented, based on the function approximation capabilities of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The proposed ANFIS model combined the neural … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,076 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Anti-windup Schemes for NCTF Control of Point-to-point (PTP) Positioning SystemsWahyudi, Riza Muhida, Momoh J.E. SalamiThe positioning systems generally need a controller to achieve high accuracy, fast response and robustness. In addition, ease of controller design and simplicity of controller structure are very important for practical application. For satisfying these requirements, NCTF (nominal characteristic trajectory following) controller has been proposed as a practical PTP positioning control. However, the effect of actuator saturation can not be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpectrofluorimetric Determination of Certain Fluoroquinolones Through Charge Transfer Complex FormationH. Salem, L. Fada, W.
