Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCharacterization of the Earth's Surface State by Unsupervised Classification: Case of Vegetated, Aquatic and Mineral SurfacesJean-Claude Okaingni, Sié Ouattara, Adles Kouassi, Alain ClémentIn this study, we propose an unsupervised classification scheme based on the Dempster-Shafer Theory (TDS) and the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) to characterize vegetated, aquatic and mineral surfaces. From pre-processed ASTER satellite images (georeferencing, geometric correction and 15 m re-sampling), neo-channels were produced by determining the spectral indices NDVI, MNDWI and NDBaI, considered as sources of information for classification of a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 27 Aug 2018 · 8,176 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Simplified Analytical Modeling of the Hole Erosion TestMohammed Bezzazi, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Miguel Prron Vera et al.Problem statement: Internal erosion occurs in soils containing fine particles under the action of high pressure gradients that could result from water discharge. This phenomenon can yield in its final stage to the formation of piping which constitutes a real threat for hydraulics infrastructures as it can precipitate their entire rupture in very short time. In order to mitigate this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2010 · 8,025 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptical Properties and Sugar Content Determination of Commercial Carbonated Drinks using Surface Plasmon ResonanceW. Y.W. Yusmawati, H. P. Chuah, M. Y.W. MahmoodIn this study, an optical sensor based on Kretschmann SPR technique was used to detect the sugar content in commercial carbonated drinks. Three samples of carbonated drinks labeled as "Coke", "100 Plus" and "F&N Orange" have been chosen for angle scan SPR measurements. All the measurements were carried out at room temperature using He-Ne laser beam (632.8nm, 5mW) as a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 8,784 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStudy of Heavy Metals in the Surface Sediments of the Main Wadis in the Region of Meknes-MoroccoA. Lammini, A. Dehbi, H. Omari, A. AbdallaouiBecause of their growing demographic and industrial expansion, the urban areas of the city of Meknes are likely to disturb the ecological balance of watercourse. In the present work, we had evaluate the degree of sediment’s contamination by heavy metals (Al, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn) in the main wadis of the Meknes region (Boufekrane, Wislane and Toulal) … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,109 accessesView PDF Cite
