Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMULTIMODAL RETINAL IMAGE REGISTRATION USING RANSAC MATCHING AND GRADIENT ICP ALGORITHMP. Pradeepa, Ila. VennilaMultimodal retinal imaging is an important facet of the diagnosis and therapy of retinal disorders like retinopathy, occlusion. Many imaging techniques for multimodal retinal images are developing in the recent years. These novel developments are subjected to a tradeoff between the computational time and effective registration. This study aims at developing a new algorithm based on the RANSAC matching and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA MIXTURE DROPOUT MECHANISM IN A LONGITUDINAL STUDY WITH TWO TIME POINTS: A METHADONE STUDYZohreh Toghrayee, Parvin Jalili, Heng Chin Low, Ardavan TaghvaOne of the most important issues that confront statisticians in longitudinal studies is dropouts. A variety of reasons may lead to withdrawal from a study and produce two different missingness mechanisms, namely, missing at random and non-ignorable dropouts. Nevertheless, none of these mechanisms is tenable in most studies. In addition, it may be that not all of dropouts are nonignorable. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Apr 2014 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Algorithms for the Extraction of Minutiae Points in Fingerprint BiometricsM. Rajaram, Sudha S. PonnarasiProblem statement: As the importance of automatic personal identification applications increases, biometrics particularly fingerprint identification is the most consistent and greatly acknowledged technique. A very important step in automatic fingerprint recognition system is to extract the minutiae points from the input fingerprint images automatically and quickly. Approach: Fingerprints from the database FVC2002 (DB1-a) is used for experimental purpose. The minutiae … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 9 Aug 2012 · 7,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste: A Contribution to Improve the Present Technical-Judicial ModelGiancarlo Carosso, Cesare Luceri, Pierpaolo OresteThe expression &#34the transboundary movement of hazardous waste&#34 refers, from the technical point of view, to a series of phases that begin with the creation of a hazardous waste and includes its identification according to international, regional and national standards, its delivery to specialized companies and its movement from the exporting country to the importing country; these phases end with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 13 Jul 2012 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSociocultural Characteristics of Psychological Education in the Context of Systemic-Anthropological ApproachIrina Loginova, Victoria Chupina, Yulya ZhivaevaProblem statement: The problem of moving from economic efficiency of the social one in the modern society is actualized. It is pointed out that the methodological basis for the solving questions of psychological education development are considered to be an anthropological psychology as a new scientific branch, which reflects the tendencies of development of psychology now a days.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Aberrant Data Points for an effective Effort Estimation using an Enhanced Algorithm with Adaptive FeaturesS. Malathi, S. SridharProblem statement: The spiraling growth of IT industry has witnessed an unprecedented change in the software development paradigm, from algorithmic models to machine learning techniques. At present, there are no standard methods to predict the accuracy of software cost estimation, which is an important goal of the software community. Approach: This study proposes a simple and systematic algorithmic procedure for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 Nov 2011 · 7,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShape Retrieval through Angular Distance with Shortest Augmenting Path AlgorithmD. Chitra, N. Devarajan, T. ManigandanProblem statement: The shape of an object is very important in object recognition. Shape matching is a challenging problem, especially when articulation and deformation of a part occurs. These variations may be insignificant for human recognition but often cause a matching algorithm to give results that are inconsistent with our perception. Approach: We proposed a customized approach to measure similarity … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 21 Oct 2011 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Importance of Numbers and the Need to Study Primes: The Prime QuestionsMatthew Curtis, Gurudeo A. TularamProblem statement: The study of prime numbers is important today as it was in ancient times. The level of interest in any form of mathematics of students in Australian high schools is decreasing and furthermore the level of interest in number theory is also less that it was before; prime numbers is not being considered as an area of interest … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 9,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach for 3D Range Image Segmentation using Gradient MethodDina A. Hafiz, Walaa M. Sheta, Sahar Bayoumi, Bayumy A.B. YoussefProblem statement: Segmentation of 3D range images is widely used in computer vision as an essential pre-processing step before the methods of high-level vision can be applied. Segmentation aims to study and recognize the features of range image such as 3D edges, connected surfaces and smooth regions. Approach: This study presents new improvements in segmentation of terrestrial 3D range images … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 19,592 accessesView PDFCite
