Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Using Texture SegmentationG. Tamil Pavai, S. Tamil SelviIn this study, it is proposed fast texture segmentation of detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. proliferative diabetic retinopathy is characterized by the revascularization on the optic disc or on the retinal area or both, as a result of diabetes mellitus. It may leads to the blindness if it is not detected and treated in proper time. This study proposes a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 26 Apr 2013 · 6,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntigenic and Immunogenic Components of Haemonchus longistipes Identified by Western ImmunoblotingE. M. El Hassan, Sabry M. El-BahrThe present study aimed to examine the ways that the Haemonchus longistipes components interact with the host by investigating the components of the parasite which acted as antigens during infection and those who are capable of inducing immune response when administered as immunogens. Adult H. longistipes worms (300 females and 200 males) were obtained from the abomasums of naturally infected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Delay Estimation using the Characteristic Roots of Delay Differential EquationsSun Yi, Wonchang Choi, Taher Abu-LebdehProblem statement: For ordinary dynamic systems (i.e., non-delayed), various methods such as linear least-squares, gradient-weighted least-squares, Kalman filtering and other robust techniques have been widely used in signal processing, robotics, civil engineering. On the other hand, time-delay estimation of systems with unknown time-delay is still a challenging problem due to difficulty in formulation caused. Approach: The presented method makes use … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariable Neighborhood Simplex Search Methods for Global Optimization ModelsPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Many optimization problems of practical interest are encountered in various fields of chemical, engineering and management sciences. They are computationally intractable. Therefore, a practical algorithm for solving such problems is to employ approximation algorithms that can find nearly optimums within a reasonable amount of computational time. Approach: In this study the hybrid methods combining the Variable Neighborhood Search … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2012 · 6,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStill Image Compression Using Texture and Non Texture Prediction ModelG. Mohanbaabu, P. RenugaProblem statement: Existing lossless image compression schemes attempt to do prediction in an image data using their Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and their spatial neighborhood based techniques. In the previous techniques such as Vector Quantization (VQ) and Gradient Adjusted Prediction (GAP) the texture and non-texture regions are not classified separately. Texture and Non-texture images prophecy has been a key factor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Feb 2012 · 7,303 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSingle Step Optimal Block Matched Motion Estimation with Motion Vectors Having Arbitrary Pixel PrecisionsCharlotte Yuk-Fan Ho, Bingo Wing-Kuen Ling, Saverio Giovanni Blasi et al.Problem statement: This study derives the optimal motion vector with arbitrary pixel precisions in a single step. Approach: A non-linear block matched motion model was proposed. Based on the proposed non-linear block matched motion model, the optimal motion vector which minimizes the mean square error was solved analytically in a single step via a gradient approach. Results: The mean square … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 12 Jan 2012 · 8,201 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation of Medical Image using Clustering and Watershed AlgorithmsM.C. Jobin Christ, R.M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: Segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging. Segmentation of an image is the division or separation of the image into dissimilar regions of similar attribute. In this study we proposed a methodology that integrates clustering algorithm and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation. The use of the conservative watershed algorithm for medical image analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 8,780 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractEffect of Wall Roughness and Concentration of Clay on Erosion in the Hole Erosion TestKissi Benaissa, Parron Vera Miguel Angel, Rubio Cintas Maria Dolores et al.Problem statement: Internal soil erosion is a real threat for hydraulic infrastructures. In its final stage it develops in piping involving the formation and progression of a continuous void inside the soil between the upstream and downstream sides. The hole erosion test was introduced to characterize kinematics of piping in terms of the time left to rupture. Actual modeling approaches … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWall Shear Stress Distribution in Patient Specific Coronary Artery BifurcationVahab Dehlaghi, Frank GijsenProblem statement: Atherogenesis is affected by hemodynamic parameters, such as wall shear stress and wall shear stress spatial gradient. These parameters are largely dependent on the geometry of arterial tree. Arterial bifurcations contain significant flow disturbances. Approach: The effects of branch angle and vessel diameter ratio at the bifurcations on the wall shear stress distribution in the coronary arterial tree … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,365 accessesView PDFCite
