Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Soil Biological Properties of Natural and Planted Forests in the Malaysian Tropical Lowland Dipterocarp ForestDaljit Singh Karam, Arifin Abdu, O. Radziah et al.Problem statement: A study was conducted to evaluate and compare the soil biological properties of a natural forest and an 18-year-old stand of Shorea leprosula in Chikus Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia. Approach: Soils were sampled at depths of 0-15 cm (topsoil) and 15-30 cm (subsoil) in six subplots (20×20 m) of natural forest (C1) and of a planted S. leprosula … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,961 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Approach based on Winter's Model and Weighted Fuzzy Time Series for Forecasting Trend and Seasonal DataSuhartono, Muhammad Hisyam LeeProblem statement: In the literature, the most studied of fuzzy time series for the purpose of forecasting is the first order fuzzy time series model. In this model, only the first lagged variable is used when constructing the first order fuzzy time series model. Therefore, such approaches fail to analyze accurately trend and seasonal time series which is an important … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSingle Core Hardware Module to Implement Partial Encryption of Compressed ImageMamun Bin Ibne Reaz, Md. Syedul Amin, Fazida Hanim Hashim, Khandaker AsaduzzamanProblem statement: Real-time secure image and video communication is challenging due to the processing time and computational requirement for encryption and decryption. In order to cope with these concerns, innovative image compression and encryption techniques are required. Approach: In this research, we have introduced partial encryption technique on compressed images and implemented the algorithm on Altera FLEX10K FPGA device that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimultaneous Thermodynamic and Kinetic Parameters Determination Using Differential Scanning CalorimetryNader Frikha, Mohamed Bouroukba, Eric Schaer, Jean-Leon HouzelotProblem statement: The determination of reaction kinetics is of major importance, as for industrial reactors optimization as for environmental reasons or energy limitations. Although calorimetry is often used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters alone, the question that arises is: how can we apply the Differential Scanning Calorimetry for the determination of kinetic parameters. The objective of this study consists … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2011 · 7,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of a Candelilla Wax-Based Edible Coating to Prolong the Shelf-Life Quality and Safety of ApplesEmilio Ochoa, Saúl Saucedo-Pompa, Romeo Rojas-Molina et al.Abstract: Problem statement: The apple by its nature as perishable food of climacteric type implies that even under refrigerated conditions, the fruit spoils quickly by its very nature of breathing and similarly are attacked by microorganisms of different types that make is the fruit spoil even faster so in the present investigation be worked with an edible coating to protect … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 10,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Image Watermarking Using Discrete Wavelet TransformDhandapani Samiappan, Krishnan AmmasiProblem statement: Digital Watermarking have gained popularity in recent years as a means of protecting multimedia data from illegal copying and unlawful reproduction. It is mainly used for copyright protection of multimedia data. Approach: In this study an image watermarking algorithm which is blind (do not require the presence of host image for detection) and robust is proposed. Results: The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2010 · 8,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Time Series Data Forecasting by Using Neural Networks Multiscale Autoregressive ModelSuhartono, B. S.S. Ulama, A. J. EndhartaProblem statement: The aim of this research was to study further some latest progress of wavelet transform for time series forecasting, particularly about Neural Networks Multiscale Autoregressive (NN-MAR). Approach: There were three main issues that be considered further in this research. The first was some properties of scale and wavelet coefficients from Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT) decomposition, particularly … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,751 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Approach for Content Based Medical Image Retrieval SystemM. Emmanuel, D.R. Ramesh Babu, Jayashree Jagdale et al.Problem statement: Parallel implementation of a CBIR system for medical applications due to the rapid progress in the technologies for obtaining and storing digital images for diagnostic purposes in medicine. Approach: For feature extraction Wavelet decomposition was used for texture, global color histograms for color and novel wavelet based approach for shape feature extraction. The system had been implemented in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Reconstruction Algorithm for Electrical Charge Tomography SystemM. F. Rahmat, M. D. Isa, K. Jusoff et al.Problem statement: Many problems in scientific computing can be formulated as inverse problem. A vast majority of these problems are ill-posed problems. In Electrical Charge Tomography (EChT), normally the sensitivity matrix generated from forward modeling is very ill-condition. This condition posts difficulties to the inverse problem solution especially in the accuracy and stability of the image being reconstructed. The objective … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
