Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImaging Spectroscopy and Light Detection and Ranging Data Fusion for Urban Features ExtractionMohammed Idrees, Helmi Zulhaidi Mohd Shafri, Vahideh SaeidiThis study presents our findings on the fusion of Imaging Spectroscopy (IS) and LiDAR data for urban feature extraction. We carried out necessary preprocessing of the hyperspectral image. Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) transforms was used for ordering hyperspectral bands according to their noise. Thereafter, we employed Optimum Index Factor (OIF) to statistically select the three most appropriate bands combination from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 28 Oct 2013 · 7,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUrine Turbidity and Microhaematuria as Rapid Assessment Indicators for Schistosoma haematobium Infection among School Children in Endemic AreasHassan Adesola, Ntiaidem Uduak, Morenikeji Olajumoke et al.Problem statement: Urinary schistosomiasis is highly endemic in Nigeria and for effective control measure, an efficient, quick and yet cheap diagnosis should be integrated. This will ensure the proper management of infection due to Schistosoma haematobium in low resource communities of Nigeria. Approach: This cross-sectional study recruited a total of 456 (252 males, 204 females) school children aged 3-20 years … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2012 · 9,093 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Distribution of Rainfall Intensity using Hourly DataSalisu Dan'azumi, Supiah Shamsudin, Azmi ArisProblem statement: Design of storm water best management practices to control runoff and water pollution can be achieved if a prior knowledge of the distribution of rainfall characteristics is known. Rainfall intensity, particularly in tropical climate, plays a major role in the design of runoff conveyance and erosion control systems. This study is aimed to explore the statistical distribution of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReference Solar Radiation Year and Some Climatology Aspects of East Coast of West MalaysiaAbdul Majeed Muzathik, Wan Mohd Norsani Bin Wan Nik, Khalid Bin Samo, Mohd Zamri IbrahimProblem statement: This study examined in detail some aspects of radiation climatology for Terengganu state in Malaysia. The geographical co-ordinates of the site are 5°10’N latitude 103°06’E longitude and 5.2 m altitude. Approach: The data used in the present study were taken from a recording data station installed at site by the Malaysian Meteorology Department (2004). In addition to this, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Water Stress on Macro Elements in Rapeseed Genotypes Leaf (Brassica napus)Mohammad Nasri, Hossein Zahedi, Hamid Reza Tohidi Moghadam et al.In order to study of changing of macro elements in water stress condition an experimental design was carried out to study effect of different levels irrigation (0, 25, 50, 75) percentage of Field Capacity (FC) on changing macro elements (N, P, K) in 5 rapeseed genotypes (PF7045-01, Symbol, Mohican, Hyola-42, Syn-1). The experimental design split plot in Randomized Complete Block … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractcDNA Microarray Genome Image Processing Using Fixed Spot PositionBasim Alhadidi, Hussam Nawwaf Fakhouri, Omar S. AlMousaComplementary DNA (cDNA) microarray is one of the most recent and important technology for exploring the genome. cDNA microarray Image analysis aims to measure the intensity for each spot in the scanned image and this intensity represents the amount of a specific gene in the studied cell. This paper presents a new algorithm that achieves an automated way for applying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 7,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Non-Iterative Method for Factorization of Positive Matrix in Discrete Wavelet Transform Based Image CompressionNallathai Perumalsamy, Nithyanandam NatarajanA non-iterative method of factorizing a 4×4 positive matrix, with the application to image compression is explained using an example. The procedure is applied to all the 4096 number of 4×4 pixel sub-blocks of a 256×256 image for compression. The proposed compression technique can be applied to the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) coefficients of the test image. The 16 Pixel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 6,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrends in Maximum Daily Rainfall in Marginal Desert Environment: Signs of Climate ChangeKhaldoun A. Al-Qudah, Abdullah A. SmadiProblem statement: Change in intense precipitation has been used as an indicator for anticipated climate change. The trend in maximum daily rainfall in 10 rainfall stations distributed in the north and north east of Jordan has been investigated. Based on mean annual rainfall and geographic location, rainfall stations were divided into subhumid, semi-arid and arid stations. Approach: The regression approach … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 7,401 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractFabrication of X-Ray Optics for a Portable Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer Using Electrolytic in Process Dressing Grinding and Magnetorheological FinishingShinsuke Kunimura, Hiroshi Kasuga, Yosuke Hachisu, Hitoshi OhmoriProblem statement: A portable X-ray elemental analyzer (total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometer) has been developed since 2006 and this spectrometer made it possible to perform ultra trace elemental determination. The intensity of scattered X-rays that become background noise in a spectrum is reduced with the improvement in surface accuracy of an X-ray reflector used in the portable spectrometer and therefore … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2011 · 7,293 accessesView PDFCite
