Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Boundary Detection of Wall Motion in Two-dimensional Echocardiography ImagesFaten Abed Ali Dawood, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.Problem statement: Medical image analysis is a particularly difficult problem because the inherent characteristics of these images, including low contrast, speckle noise, signal dropouts and complex anatomical structures. An accurate analysis of wall motion in Two-dimensional echocardiography images is “important clinical diagnosis parameter for many cardiovascular diseases”. A challenge most researchers faced is how to speed up the clinical decisions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 8,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSummarizing Spatial Distribution Density, Movement Patterns and Food Resources to Study the Impacts of Logging and Forest Conversion on Orang-utan PopulationRaymond Alfred, Koh Pei Hue, Lee Shan Khee, Rayner AlfredProblem statement: Orang-utan is classified as a totally protected species and is listed as an endangered species in Borneo. The survival of this species is highly dependent on the existence and quality of the lowland forest of Sabah. However, most of the pristine habitats in the lowland area have been converted into other land use activities such as a large … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCapturing Biogas: A Means to Reduce Green House Gas Emissions for the Production of Crude Palm OilS. Vijaya, A.N. Ma, Y. M. ChooProblem statement: The Malaysian oil palm industry is an important industry to the nation. In 2009 alone the total export earnings reached RM 49.6 billion. The industry is under constant attack of its performance from the perspective of the environment, especially with regard to its Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions. Being an export orientated industry; this issue has to be … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 14,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVibration Equations of Thick Rectangular Plates Using Mindlin Plate TheoryS. A. Sadrnejad, A. Saedi Daryan, M. ZiaeiProblem statement: Rectangular steel plates are widely used in various steel structures and steel industries. For a proper design of steel plate structures and efficient use of material, the behavior, strength, buckling and post-buckling characteristics of plates should be accurately determined. Approach: Considering the significance of this matter, lateral vibration of thick rectangular plates was studied on the basis of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,881 accessesView PDFCite
