Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsing Model for Conductive Percolation in Electrically Conductive Adhesives by Considering Random Arrangement of Conducting ParticlesMora, Sahrul Saehana, Euis Sustini et al.Problem statement: Thermodynamically, particles in composites will arrange in a way such that the Helmholtz free energy is minimized. However, even a single structure has the lowest free energy, it should not ignore the probability of other structures having larger energies to occur, although at small chances. Approach: All possible arrangements of particles in the composites, therefore, must be taken … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 30 May 2012 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas Engine for Nitrogen Oxides ReductionP. M. Diaz, B. Durga PrasadProblem statement: This study describes the use of Reformer Gas (RG) to alter NOx emission in a CNG-fueled HCCI engine. Comparison with diesel, natural gas has a very high octane number (≈120) and high auto-ignition temperature (≈600°C). Composed mostly of methane, natural gas is the only common fuel to manifest relatively pure, single-stage combustion. Other fuels have stronger low-temperature reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Induced Hematoma in Caudoputamen Nuclei in Rats Causes Central Pain when the Thalamus is also Implicated and the Central Sensitization is Reversed with GabapentinP. P. Lema, P. VachonProblem statement: The objective of this study was to evaluate pain sensitisation in rats following the induction of an intracerebral hemorrhage by injecting a collagenase solution in the caudoputamen nucleus of the right basal ganglia and to evaluate gabapentin as an analgesic for central pain. Approach: Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 175-300 g were used. In a first experiment, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2012 · 8,170 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Multi-Path Routing for Load Balancing in Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksS. Soundararajan, R. S. BhuvaneswaranProblem statement: Load balancing and network congestion are the major problems in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) routing. Most of the existing routing protocols provide solutions to load balancing or congestion or fault-tolerance, individually. Approach: We propose congestion controlled adaptive multi-path routing protocol to achieve load balancing and avoid congestion in MANETs. The algorithm for finding multi-path routes computes fail-safe multiple … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 18 Feb 2012 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mosquito Repellent on the Transmission Model of Chikungunya FeverSurapol Naowarat, Prasit Thongjaem, I. Ming TangProblem statement: In 2008 there was a large outbreak of Chikungunya fever in southern Thailand. Chikungunya fever is an emerging disease which tends to affect rubber plantation and fruit orchard workers more than other occupation. This study we considers the efficacy of using mosquito repellent as a way to prevent and control the spread of Chikungunya fever. The mathematical model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 14 Feb 2012 · 7,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Device by Externally Controlled Gate Oxide ThicknessB. Gopi, R. S.D. WahidabanuProblem statement: Since the advent of IC and VLSI technology, the demand for high-speed devices and equipment is growing very rapidly. Every individual researcher is marching towards the dream of achieving it. The role of a design engineer is becoming more challenging. As per Moore’s law, the packing density doubles every eighteen months. This is possible only by scaling down … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2012 · 7,112 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Time Domain Pitch Detection Algorithm for Pathological VoiceMohd Redzuan Jamaludin, Sheikh Hussain Shaikh Salleh, Tan Tian Swee et al.Problem statement: The present study proposes a new pitch detection algorithm which could potentially be used to detect pitch for disordered or pathological voices. One of the parameters required for dysphonia diagnosis is pitch and this prompted the development of a new and reliable pitch detection algorithm capable of accurately detect pitch in disordered voices. Approach: The proposed method applies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Nov 2011 · 7,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Recent Research and Implementation Methodologies on Medical Image SegmentationS. K. Somasundaram, P. AlliProblem statement: Image segmentation plays a very important role in digital imaging applications for classifying the anatomical structures and other Regions of Interest. Segmentation refers to the process of identifying and isolating the surface and regions of the digital image which corresponds to the structural units. Approach: In the past few decades, many methods have been proposed to segment the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 4 Nov 2011 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Face Recognition in Video by Bit Planes SlicingM. Jasmine Pemeena Priyadarsini, K. Murugesan, Srinivasa Rao Inbathini, Visal KumarProblem statement: Video-based face recognition must be able to overcome the imaging interference such as pose and illumination. Approach: A model is designed to study for face recognition based on video sequence and also test image. In training stage, single frontal image is taken as a input to the recognition system. A new virtual image is generated using bit plane … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2011 · 7,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cluster Feature-Based Incremental Clustering Approach to Mixed DataA. M. Sowjanya, M. ShashiProblem statement: The main objective of this study is to develop an incremental clustering algorithm that can handle numerical as well as categorical attributes in a given dataset. The authors have previously reported a cluster feature-based algorithm, CFICA that can handle only numerical data. Appraoch: Since many of the real life data mining applications work with datasets that contain both … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 21 Oct 2011 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
