Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModel Predictive Approach to Precision Contouring Control for Feed Drive SystemsM.A. El Khalick, N. UchyiamaProblem statement: High precision machining requires high capability of multi-axis feed drive systems to follow specified contour accurately. Although each feed drive axis is controlled independently in many industrial applications such as X-Y tables and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, machining precision is evaluated by error components orthogonal to desired contour curve. Contouring controller design is required for precision machining, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,309 accessesView PDFCite

Moreover, measurements of distances between landmark points on skulls (cranial anthropometry) were made with this set of skulls for future standardization of skull implants. Thus the main … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparative Analysis of Wavelet, Curvelet, and Contourlet Transforms for Denoising Liver CT ImagesMajzoob Kamalaldin Omer AbdalrahmanLiver cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and early detection using CT imaging plays a critical role in patient survival. However, the quality of CT scans is often degraded by noise, particularly in low-dose imaging intended to minimize radiation exposure. This study presents a comprehensive comparison of three multiresolution transform techniques, namely the wavelet, curvelet, and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 4 Feb 2026 · 2,117 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHybrid Multi-Layer Perceptron and Enhanced Edge-Free Active Contour Model Lung Nodule Detection AlgorithmShengguang PengA computer-assisted method is usually used to identify pneumoconiosis by segmenting and classifying the initial area of interest. The accuracy of current techniques for segmenting and classifying lung nodules is often suboptimal. Therefore, a hybrid Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and enhanced edge-free active contour model (CV) algorithm are proposed to solve this problem. First, lung nodules are identified by the MLP … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2025 · 5,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai Dialects with Large Speech DatabaseSuphattharachai ChomphanIn four core regions of Thailand, there are four main dialects including central, north, northeast and south dialects. The prosody is significantly unique for each dialect. One important factor determining the prosody is the fundamental frequency. As a result, modeling of Fundamental frequency (F0) contour is very important for the natural speech processing. Even though there are many modeling techniques … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 20 Dec 2012 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency contour for Thai TonesSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In Thai, tone is an essential feature of a prosodic syllable to identify the meanings of that syllable or that part of word. To generate the tonal speech with natural prosody, it is needed to manage the fundamental frequency (F0) of the speech appropriately. A successful approach of structural modeling from Mandarin Chinese has been adapted to model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 25 Aug 2012 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
