Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHyperspectral Remote Sensing of Vegetation Using Red Edge Position TechniquesHelmi Zulhaidi Mohd Shafri, Mohamad Amran Mohd Salleh, Azadeh GhiyamatTwo red edge position (REP) techniques, Linear and Lagrangian, were applied on hyperspectral data acquired from the HyMap sensor for a forested area in Thetford Forest, UK. Red edge positions of different vegetation covers were extracted with the two approaches from the hyperspectral data. Based on the estimated REPs, the Linear and Lagrangian interpolation methods were compared with ground reference … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 17 Jun 2006 · 8,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Weight Assignment Approach for Index TermsKamel E. Haouam, Farhi MarirCurrently in the development of Informational Retrieval (IR) systems, a set of keywords represents the semantics of a text document and after assigning weights to the set of keywords, they are used for indexing, searching and retrieval purposes. The current approaches for assigning weights are provided by an IR model that is used by an IR system.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Banana (Musa, AAA cv. Cavendish) Fruits PeelMatook Saif Mokbel, Fumio HashinagaThe fresh green and yellow banana peel of, (Musa, cv. Cavendish) fruits were treated with 70% acetone, which were partitioned with chloroform (CHCl3) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc), sequentially. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by using the thiocyanate method, β-carotene bleaching method and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical elimination. While, antimicrobial activities of the extracts and isolated components were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 16,037 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach for Authentication TechniqueAlaa H. Al-Hamami, Saad A. Al-AniOne of the serious problems is how to authenticate the passport document for its holder. The major factor of this authenticity is the corresponding of the Passport's photo with its holder. Most of the Passport document contains a holder's signature in addition, of course, to the full name. We propose a firm authentication method by extracting some features for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
