Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVision Based Reconstruction Multi-Clouds of Scale Invariant Feature Transform Features for Indoor NavigationAbbas M. Ali, Md Jan NordinProblem statement: Navigation for visually impaired people needs to exploit more approaches for solving problems it has, especially in image based methods navigation. Approach: This study introduces a new approach of an electronic cane for navigation through the environment. By forming multi clouds of SIFT features for the scene objects in the environment using some considerations. Results: The system gives … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Modified Conjugate Gradient Formula for Back Propagation Neural Network AlgorithmAbbas Y. Al Bayati, Najmaddin A. Sulaiman, Gulnar W. SadiqProblem statement: The Conjugate Gradient (CG) algorithm which usually used for solving nonlinear functions is presented and is combined with the modified Back Propagation (BP) algorithm yielding a new fast training multilayer algorithm. Approach: This study consisted of determination of new search directions by exploiting the information calculated by gradient descent as well as the previous search direction. The proposed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Dec 2009 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Navigation and Localization for Visually impaired people Using Weighted Topological MapMd Jan Nordin, Abbas M. AliProblem Statement: Image base methods are a new approach for solving problems of navigations for visually impaired people. Approach: The study introduced a new approach of an electronic cane for blind people using the environment represented as a weighted topological graph instead, each node contains images taken at some poses in the work space, instead of building a metric (3D) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Parametric of Sample Selection Model Using Heckman Two-Step Estimation ModelsM. S. Lola, A. A. Kamil, M.T. Abu OsmanProblem statement: It is well known that, the standard approach to estimating a sample selection models shows an inconsistent estimation results if the distributional assumption are incorrect. Approach: An important progress in the last decade to develop an alternative to overcome the deficiency is through the used of semi-parametric method. However, the usage of semi-parametric approach still does not cover … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo-Versions of Conjugate Gradient-Algorithms Based on Conjugacy Conditions for Unconstrained OptimizationAbbas Y. AL-Bayati, A.J. Salim, Khalel K. AbboProblem statement: (CG) algorithms, which we had investigated in this study, were widely used in optimization, especially for large scale optimization problems, because it did not need the storage of any matrix. The purpose of this construction was to find new CG-algorithms suitable for solving large scale optimization problems. Approach: Based on pure conjugacy condition and quadratic convex function two … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiffusion of Radioactive Materials in the AtmosphereAbdul-Wali Ajlouni, Manal Abdelsalam, Hussam Al-Rabai’ah, Abdullah M.S. AjlouniProblem statement: The dispersion of radioactive materials in the environment related to escaping of noble gases, halogens and aerosols of non-volatile radioactive materials, from the reactor containment during normal operations, or in the event of a sever reactor accident. Approach: radionuclide dispersion in the environment is demonstrated by mathematical tools which are the partial differential equations, mainly the diffusion equation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution of Fourth Order Linear Ordinary Differential Equations by Cubic Spline Collocation Tau MethodO.A. Taiwo, O.M. OgunlaranProblem Statement: Many boundary value problems that arise in real life situations defy analytical solution; hence numerical techniques are desirable to find the solution of such equations. New numerical methods which are comparatively better than the existing ones in terms of efficiency, accuracy, stability, convergence and computational cost are always needed. Approach: In this study, we developed and applied three … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution of Linear Integro-Differential EquationsHusein Jaradat, Omar Alsayyed, S. Al-SharaProblem Statement: Integro-differential equations find special applicability within scientific and mathematical disciplines. In this study, an analytical scheme for solving Integrodifferential equations was presented. Approach: We employed the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) to solve linear Fredholm integro-differential equations. Results: Error analysis and illustrative examples were included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique. MATLAB 7 was used to … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
