Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Real-time Image Processing with a Compact FPGA-based ArchitectureRidha Djemal, Didier Demigny, Rached TourkiThis study have presented a filed programmable gate array implementation of a real time video smoothing algorithm. In comparison with smoothing video techniques like deblocking filters in H.264 or smoothing in JPEG2000, the proposed method is implemented in hardware and its computational cost and complexity are reduced where all pixel processing related to uncompressed video is done on the fly. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScheme for ISDN/DECT Wireless Internetworking and VerificationMaher Dababneh, Ibrahim QatawnehA novel scheme to access the basic rate service of the Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN) using the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephone (DECT) radio interface standard is presented. The S-interface in the ISDN reference configuration has been used for the ISDN interface and the unprotected class 0 transmissions are used for the DECT interface. The design of a state of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigate the Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivational Factors of Knowledge Transfer in the HospitalsAhmad Aabed Al-Hayy Al-Dalaien, Sulfeeza Mohd Drus, Hairoladenan Kasim, Ali Taha Al-OqailyThe value of services in knowledge-intensive organizations like the hospitals is created by the tacit knowledge of the health staff. The weak knowledge transfer activities among the health staff effects on the performance level of the health care services. Hospitals are dependent on continuously learning from mistakes and to make improvements and then to transfer this newly acquired knowledge between … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2020 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvances in Electromyogram Signal Classification to Improve the Quality of Life for the Disabled and Aged PeopleMd. R. Ahsan, Muhammad I. Ibrahimy, Othman O. KhalifaProblem statement: The social demands for the Quality Of Life (QOL) are increasing with the exponentially expanding silver generation. To improve the QOL of the disabled and elderly people, robotic researchers and biomedical engineers have been trying to combine their techniques into the rehabilitation systems. Various biomedical signals (biosignals) acquired from a specialized tissue, organ, or cell system like the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Case for Interdisciplinary Environmental Education and ResearchWill Focht, Charles I. AbramsonProblem statement: Interdisciplinary environmental education and research at American colleges and universities have been criticized for ambiguous focus, insufficient integration and lack of rigor. Part of the reason for a clearly articulated conceptualization of the field is the failure to reach a consensus among those in the environmental profession and academic community on an overarching paradigm of environmental education and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameter Settings for an Automated Gantry-Robot Painting System using a 3-Gun Atomization Spray Method for an Anti- Static Coating ProcessZunaidi Ibrahim, Rozman A. Rahim, Shahrizal Ariffadillah et al.Dry film thickness and appearance are the main quality improvements that can be achieved by an automated painting system in the manufacturing process. This study presents the spray coating process for aircraft parts using a gantry robot with an automated spray-painting gun to control the spray path, thus achieving the desired coating layer thickness. The experimental results show that the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2019 · 8,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovements on Semi Critical Assisted-Solvent Extraction of Biocrude Oil from Spirogyra. sp Macro AlgaeTulio Chavez-Gil, Hany F. Sobhi, Alexis Pacheco-LaracuenteHere, we report on an improved chemical method to extract hydrocarbons (CH) and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) from wild green macro algae, which is higher than that carried out with conventional Soxhlet (Sx) and similar to that of Subcritical (SbC) or supercritical fluid (SCE) extraction methods. Crude oil plus residual biomass gave combined calorific values of 49.05 MJ/kg in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2018 · 10,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHELICOBACTER INFECTION AND ALLERGY IN MAJORITY AND ROMA POPULATION IN THE CZECH REPUBLICRichter Josef, Vetvicka Vaclav, Kral Vlastimil et al.In our paper we decided to evaluate the hypothesis about the relation between living conditions, infection with Helicobacter pylori and development of allergic problems. Two groups of children, one from the Roma population and one from the majority population, were chosen for this study. Comparing the levels of total IgE and specific IgE antibodies, IgA and IgG Helicobacter pylori antibodies … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 24 Dec 2014 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractErgonomics Issues in MalaysiaH. S. Loo, Stanley RichardsonProblem statement: Ergonomics so far has had little impact in Malaysia. For most Malaysian managers, ergonomics is not considered to be associated with performance, but rather with occupational health and safety and legislation. Approach: This study reviews the development of ergonomics in Malaysia and the underlying issues related to national development. Results: Many changes need to be made within the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2012 · 9,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Dystonia: An OverviewSergio Machado, Oscar Arias-Carrion, Flávia Paes et al.Problem statement: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive procedure whereby a pulsed magnetic field stimulates electrical activity in the brain. Dystonia is characterized by several disabling symptoms for which effective, mechanism-based treatments remain elusive. Approach: Consequently, more advanced non-invasive therapeutic methods were required. A possible method to modulate brain activity and potentially viable for use in clinical practice … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2011 · 10,035 accessesView PDFCite
