Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Tchebichef Moment Transform Image Compression using Psychovisual ModelFerda Ernawan, Nur Azman Abu, Nanna SuryanaAn extension of the standard JPEG image compression known as JPEG-3 allows rescaling of the quantization matrix to achieve a certain image output quality. Recently, Tchebichef Moment Transform (TMT) has been introduced in the field of image compression. TMT has been shown to perform better than the standard JPEG image compression. This study presents an adaptive TMT image compression. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 1 Jun 2013 · 7,124 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing the Effects of Water and Agriculture Policy Strategies: An Iranian experienceReza Moghaddasi, Ali Bakhshi, Mahmood Daneshvar KakhkiProblem statement: Because of growing demand for water resources, increasing cost of supplying water and overdraft of underground waters, economists suggest water pricing policy to improve water allocation efficiency in Iran. While due to political risk, economic and cultural concerns, government tends to reject that advice.
