Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImplementation of Geodesic Active Contour Approach for Pigment Spots Segmentation on the Iris SurfaceMustafa Man, Mohamad Faizal Ab Jabal, Mohd Shafry Mohd Rahim, Illiasaak AhmadThe aim of this paper is to study the effectiveness of geodesic active contour approach to segment the pigment spots on iris surface. Pigment spot is an abnormal marker that appears on the iris surface, which may lead to eye diseases. The multi appearance, scattered location and dynamic shape of the pigment spots on the iris surface make them very … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimization and Prediction of Motorcycle Injection System Performance with Feed-Forward Back-Propagation Method Artificial Neural Network (ANN)La Ode Ichlas Syahrullah, Nazaruddin SinagaThis research studied the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) using feed-forward back-propagation model to optimize and predict the performance of a motorcycle fuel injection systems of gasoline. The parameters such as speed, throttle position, ignition timing and injection timing is used as the input parameters. While the parameters of fuel consumption and engine torque is used as the output … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2016 · 13,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSchedule Planning for Repairing Power Supply SystemKuo-Wei Lin, Chein-Jen KangProblem statement: Taiwan is located in the tropical ocean areas. The strong typhoon in summer often causes the collapse of electric transmission towers and results in power outages that seriously affect people’s lives and industrial production. Approach: In light of this situation, this study aims to employ project management techniques of Theory of Constraints (TOC) to develop a practical TOC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordApplication of Neuro-Fuzzy Techniques for Solar RadiationW. A. Rahoma, U. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanProblem statement: The prediction is very useful in solar energy applications because it permits to estimate solar data for locations where measurements are not available. The developed artificial intelligence models predict the solar radiation time series more effectively compared to the conventional procedures based on the clearness index. Approach: The forecasting ability of some models could be further enhanced with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 11 Aug 2011 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordResearch in the Improvement of Wettability of Micro-Structure in Patterned ElectrodepositionLi Guangyang, Wang Hong, Yuan Yang et al.Problem statement: The high aspect-ratio electrodeposition was widely used in the manufacture of non-silicon MEMS devices. The wetting of high aspect-ratio micro-structure in electrolyte was important to the uniformity of micro-structure. Approach: In this study, to enhance the wettability of micro-structures in electrolyte, the effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and O2 plasma surface modification were discussed.
