Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMinimum and Complete Fluidization Velocity for Sand-Palm Shell Mixtures, Part I: Fluidization Behavior and Characteristic VelocitiesV. S. Chok, A. Gorin, H. B. ChuaProblem statement: Palm shell on its original state cannot be fluidized solely. However, mixing palm shell with a second fluidizable material can facilitate proper fluidization. Approach: The minimum and complete fluidization velocity (Umf and Ucf) for sand/palm shell binary mixtures had been studied in a partitioned reactor known as Compartmented Fluidized Bed Gasifier (CFBG). The pilot scale reactor ID is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,221 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMultimedia Image Retrieval Using Novel Modelling of Combined Binary Patterns with Reduced DimensionsM. Geetha Yadav, SP. ChokkalingamAdvancements in computer vision have transformed image retrieval. However, many existing systems struggle to bridge the semantic gap between low-level features and high-level user expectations. This study proposed a new approach that combines texture and colour features to enhance retrieval accuracy and user satisfaction. The proposed method employs the HSV colour model to extract colour features, focusing on dominant features … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 14 Apr 2025 · 5,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Cloud-Based Approach for Privacy-Preserving Medical Image Retrieval: Leveraging Local Features and PCA in Two Efficient StepsM Geetha Yadav, SP ChokkalingamThe major challenges of content-based image retrieval are searching, ranking, and retrieving in secure mode. In this article, we propose a two-step security approach for each database image, utilizing encryption mechanisms and cloud technology. In this approach, the watermark-embedded encrypted images, along with the efficient feature vector database and the list of authenticated users, will be stored in the cloud. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 12 · 4 Nov 2024 · 4,300 accessesView PDFCite
