Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFish Recognition Based on Robust Features Extraction from Size and Shape Measurements Using Neural NetworkMutasem Khalil Alsmadi, Khairuddin Bin Omar, Shahrul Azman Noah, Ibrahim AlmarashdehProblem statement: Image recognition is a challenging problem researchers had been research into this area for so long especially in the recent years, due to distortion, noise, segmentation errors, overlap and occlusion of objects in digital images. In our study, there are many fields concern with pattern recognition, for example, fingerprint verification, face recognition, iris discrimination, chromosome shape discrimination, optical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 5 Aug 2010 · 9,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Aerosol Particle Size at High Polluted Region in the World Using Direct Solar Radiation Measurements: Helwan as a Case RegionU. Ali RahomaProblem statement: Particle counting and sizing of atmospheric aerosols by electro-optical methods are complex and absolute interpretation of measurements is difficult, so, the scattered light varies in a complicated manner with the system of optics as well as with the size and physical characteristics of particles. Approach: The estimation of the air aerosol number concentration variation was carried out in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 May 2010 · 6,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWireless Communication with a Microprocessor Based Ultrasonic Meter for Flow MeasurementsMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Although the traditional metering system and method for controlling flow is generally safe, reliable and robust, it does suffer certain drawbacks, such as limited accuracy and the ability to implement complex reactive rate designs. Hence, there is a need for a circuit and method of increasing metering accuracy, as well as the position control accuracy for variable flow … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasurements and Model Calibration of Urban Traffic Noise PollutionN. Al-Mutairi, F. Al-Rukaibi, P. KoushkiProblem statement: The problem of urban traffic noise pollution is universal and in the past few decades it has grown to the point that it has become a major concern for both the public and the policy-makers. Approach: In a comprehensive 18 month research project, traffic-generated noise was monitored at 47 roadway locations in fourteen districts in metropolitan Kuwait in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigations of Two-Layer Earth Parameters at Low Voltage: Measurements and CalculationsRamdan E. Rajab, N. Mohamad Nor, K. RamarProblem statement: The two-layer soil model at low magnitude voltage is assumed to be accurate for the measurement and calculation of the earth resistance of a combined grid-multiple rods electrode. The aim of this study is to measure and calculate the earth resistance of a combined grid-multiple rods electrode buried in a two-layer soil and to confirm the simplicity and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGeoradar Measurements for the Snow Cover DensityA. GodioGround Probing Radar (GPR) devices is adopted for the analysis of thickness and the mechanical properties (density) of the snow cover in some test site in Alps, in Northern Italy. The performances of standard radar systems for the snow cover characterisation are analysed, the main aim is to assess the reliability of the method to estimate the snow density, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImprovement of Nuclear Track Density Measurements Using Image Processing TechniquesA. Mostofizadeh, X. Sun, M. R. KardanThe well known edge detection methods were applied to evaluate accuracy and precision of nuclear track densitometry of polycarbonate detector. All measurements carried out in two cases of before and after improvement of track images. Considering the overlapping phenomenon -including double and triple tracks- experimental and statistical results showed that not only each particular edge detection method affects the accuracy … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOpen ended-coaxial Cable Measurements of Saturated Sandy SoilsAlberto GodioThe application of electromagnetic methods in the radar and micro-wave frequency band allows the fluid content of soils to be estimated; the heuristic or physically-based models permit to relate the observed electrical permittivity of the soils with the porosity and fluid saturation. The role of the effect of the free water and bound water in the overall electromagnetic behaviour of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImportance of blood gas measurements in perinatal asphyxia and alternatives to restore the acid base balance status to improve the newborn performanceH. Orozco-Gregorio, D. Mota-Rojas, M. Alonso-Spilsbury et al.Prolonged or intermittent asphyxia in utero and during farrowing weakens piglets and renders them less capable of adaptation to extrauterine life. Piglets with lesser viability at birth have increased blood pCO2 and blood lactic acid concentrations and decreased blood pH. Moreover, the ability to thermoregulate during an acute cold stress is inversely related to umbilical blood lactate concentrations. Blood gas … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
