Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSentence Annotation based Enhanced Semantic Summary Generation from Multiple DocumentsA. Kogilavani, P. BalasubramanieProblem statement: The goal of document summarization is to provide a summary or outline of manifold documents with reduction in time. Sentence extraction could be a technique that is employed to pick out relevant and vital sentences from documents and presented as a summary. So there is a need to develop more meaningful sentence selection strategy so as to extract … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 17 May 2012 · 7,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApproaches to Learning in First Year University PhysicsRachel Wilson, Steve Georgakis, Manjula SharmaProblem statement: In recent decades, discipline specific ways of thinking and knowing have gained increased recognition in understanding learning. However, there has been little empirical research examining student approaches to learning within specific disciplines or, even more specifically, within different streams of study or in response to different curriculum within a discipline. Approach: The aim of this study was to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2012 · 9,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDigital Simulation, Design, Comparitive Analysis of Intelligent Controllers in Adjustable Speed Drives for PQ EnhancementA. Srikrishnan, B. Justus RabiProblem statement: This study deals with the analysis, design and comparison between fuzzy and genetic based adjustable speed drives with respect to the parameters which determines the quality of power. Approach: ASD system using fuzzy controllers provide ride-through capability during voltage sags, reduces harmonics, improves power factor and is highly reliable, whereas by using genetic algorithm optimized ASD systems, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Nov 2011 · 7,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Implementation of Weighted Fuzzy Fisherface Algorithm for Face Recognition Using Wavelet TransformEsther Annlin Kala James, S. AnnaduraiProblem statement: The paper addresses the face recognition problem by proposing Weighted Fuzzy Fisherface (WFF) technique using biorthogonal transformation. The weighted fuzzy fisherface technique was an extension of Fisher Face technique by introducing fuzzy class membership to each training sample in calculating the scatter matrices. Approach: In weighted fuzzy fisherface method, weight emphasizes classes that were close together and deemphasizes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2011 · 7,351 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Life Cycle Assessment and Other Tools for Ex Ante Integrated Sustainability Assessment in the Minerals IndustryDeborah J Shields, Gian Andrea Blengini, Slavko V. SolarProblem statement: The minerals industry is faced with choices beginning in the exploration phase and extending over the life cycle of mine. Firms examine the technical feasibility of alternative actions and typically rank them based on economic performance. Increasingly firms also consider alternatives' contribution to sustainable development. Approach: Sustainable decision making before investment (ex ante decisions) should incorporate a broad … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Invariant Translation to Denoise Electroencephalogram SignalsJanett Walters-Williams, Yan LiProblem statement: Because of the distance between the skull and the brain and their different resistivity's, Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings on a machine is usually mixed with the activities generated within the area called noise. EEG signals have been used to diagnose major brain diseases such as Epilepsy, narcolepsy and dementia. The presence of these noises however can result in misdiagnosis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeech Enhancement Algorithm Using Sub band Two Step Decision Directed Approach with Adaptive Weighting factor and Noise Masking ThresholdDeepa Dhanaskodi, Shanmugam ArumugamProblem statement: Speech Enhancement plays an important role in any of the speech processing systems like speech recognition, mobile communication, hearing aid. Approach: In this work, human perceptual auditory masking effect is incorporated into the single channel speech enhancement algorithm. The algorithm is based on a criterion by which the audible noise may be masked rather than being attenuated and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighted Centroid Modified Simplex and Linear Constrained Response Surface Optimization Methods for the Xbar-R Chart Variable DeterminationPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Although economic Xbar-R chart designs do guarantee the minimal operating cost, they typically have poor levels of statistical performance measures. The obvious limitation of the economic design is that the Type I error rate seems to be very high for many situations and will cause a large number of false alarms. This situation leads to an investigation of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Robust Hybrid Approach to Enhance Speech in Mobile Communication SystemsManimegalai Govindan Sumithra, Keppana Gounder Thanuskodi, Bharathi DeepaProblem statement: The received voice signal in mobile communication is often disturbed by background noise and hence there is a need for good noise reduction methods for enhancing Speech. It is well known that denoising is a compromise between the removal of the largest possible amount of noise and the preservation of signal integrity. To address this issue, a new … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStressors Influence on Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Colonization in BroilersE. S. Soliman, E. Taha, K. D. Infante et al.Problem statement: Poultry industry usually exposing birds to a variety of actions and stressors includs fasting for gastrointestinal emptying before transportation and where birds are often exposed to high environmental temperature during the summer months. These environmental stressors may have influences on bird performance and susceptibility to pathogens such as Salmonella enteritidis by altering the intestinal micrbiota and changes in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2009 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
