Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Detection using Geometric Invariant MomentMohamed Rizon, Haniza Yazid, Puteh Saad et al.Geometric moment invariant produces a set of feature vectors that are invariant under shifting, scaling and rotation. The technique is widely used to extract the global features for pattern recognition due to its discrimination power and robustness. In this paper, moment invariant is used to identify the object from the captured image using the first invariant (Ø1). The recognition rate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Oct 2006 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMesoscopic Damage Based Model for Plane Concrete under Static and Dynamic LoadingsM. Labibzadeh, S. A. SadrnejadThe constitutive equations for the mechanical behavior of concrete capable of seeing damage effects or crack growth procedure under loading/unloading/reloading was developed upon microplane framework. The proposed damage formulation has been built on the basis of five fundamental types of stress/strain combinations, which essentially may occur on any of microplanes. Model verification under different loading/unloading/reloading stress/strain paths has been examined. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract2D Object Description with Discrete SegmentsNbhan D. Salih, David C.L. Ngo, Hakim Mellah2D object shape description has gained considerable attention in field of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and in various applications that concerned with the shapes of objects. Object shape descriptors in the literature are commonly classified into two forms: contour-based and region-based. In this paper we present our contour-based shape representation and description, where the object shape is represented and describe … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabric Behavior of Sand in Post-liquefactionSeyed Amirodin SadrnejadAn anisotropic plasticity model for post-liquefaction of the undrained behavior of sand is presented. The model incorporates the critical/steady state concept that postulates the existence of a state where sand continuously deforms at a certain constant effective stress depending two main parameters of both initial bulk parameters (void ratio or relative density) and the stress level (mean stress). The local … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWind Speed Simulation Using WaveletsA. H. Siddiqi, S. Khan, S. RehmanMost of the renewable energy sources have direct or indirect link with the sun. Wind is also a form of solar energy. It is initiated by uneven heating of the atmospheric air by the sun, affected from the topography and surface roughness of the earth's surface and rotation of the earth. The earth's terrain, water surfaces and vegetation cover modifies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Adaptive Filters for Dynamic Mass Measurement of Moving Objects on Flexible PlatformsSergio Bimbi Junior, Flavio Celso Trigo, Agenor de Toledo FleuryDynamic mass measurement of moving objects on flexible platforms remains a significant challenge due to mechanical vibrations, structural flexibility, and the inherently low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of strain gauge sensors. Traditional analog filtering approaches, such as Tow– Thomas active filters, exhibit limitations since gain stages propagate and may even amplify intrinsic noise, compromising metrological accuracy. This work proposes a hybrid … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2026 · 2,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShift of Zeeman Components of Ionic Spectral Lines Caused by the Angular Doppler EffectEugene OksThe angular Doppler effect was introduced by Garetz. While the usual Doppler effect is caused by the translational motion of the emitter, the angular Doppler effect is caused by the rotational motion of the emitter. It results into the frequency shift of a circularly-polarized light. In the present paper we analyze the angular Doppler effect caused by the rotational motion … …Physics International, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 16 Jun 2025 · 6,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMachine Learning Approaches for the Prediction of Gas Turbine TransientsArnaud Nguembang Fadja, Giuseppe Cota, Francesco Bertasi et al.Gas Turbine (GT) emergency shutdowns can lead to energy production interruption and may also reduce the lifespan of a turbine. In order to remain competitive in the market, it is necessary to improve the reliability and availability of GTs by developing predictive maintenance systems that are able to predict future conditions of GTs within a certain time. Predicting such situations … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 5 · 28 Feb 2024 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
