Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPile Instrumentation Using Retrievable SensorsFaisal Hj. Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Sieng KaiStrain gauges are normally used to monitor the shortening or compression of pile during static pile load test. For concrete spun pile, the technique used either by incorporating high temperature-resistant strain gauges into the heat-cured production process of the spun piles or by installing an instrumented steel pipe into the hollow core of the spun piles followed by cement grout … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEdge Detection in Gray Level Images based on the Shannon EntropyBaljit Singh, Amar P. SinghMost of the classical mathematical methods for edge detection based on the derivative of the pixels of the original image are Gradient operators, Laplacian and Laplacian of Gaussian operators. Gradient based edge detection methods, such as Roberts, Sobel and Prewitts, have used two 2-D linear filters to process vertical edges and horizontal edges separately to approximate first-order derivative of pixel … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Calibration of Frequency Compensation System in Computer-Controlled Patch-Clamp AmplifierJun Xiong, Gang Hu, Anlian QuComputer-controlled patch-clamp amplifier is a digitally controlled analog device used to record the cellular ion channel currents in electrophysiology research. The inherent bandwidth and performance of the headstage is limited by the stray capacitance and distributed capacitance across the feedback resistors. In order to effectively improve the performance of the headstage, the paper advanced a simplified automatic calibration method of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fast Approximate String Searching AlgorithmMahmoud Mhashi, Adnan Rawashdeh, Awni HammouriIn both approximate and exact string searching algorithms, the shift distance at the skipping step plays a major role in the performance of string matching algorithms. A new algorithm called the Modified Character-Weight Algorithm (MWA) has been developed to test the effect of the shift distance on the performance of approximate string matching. An experiment was performed comparing the performance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Edge Detection Model Based on Virtual Magnetic Field: Application to Digital Color ImagesB. Nsiri, B. BoudaIn computer vision, the edge detection is an essential and difficult problem to study. For this reason, many detectors were developed for gray-level and color images. However, these edge detectors may miss some parts of the edges. In the aim, to deal with this problem, a new approach is proposed. It is based on Virtual Magnetic Field (VMF) in conjunction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2013 · 6,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDETECTING MULTIPLE INTRUSION ATTACKS USING PERMANENT GIRTH CLUSTERING MODEL IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKG. Jayamurugan, P. KamalakkannanSecurity is the central challenge and one of the serious concerns for designing reliable sensor networks. Of the different types of security threats in wireless sensor network, particularly dangerous attack is the replica node attack, in which the opponent takes the secret keying materials from a compromised node. It then produces large number of attacker-controlled replicas that divide up the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 1 Apr 2014 · 6,467 accessesView PDFCite
