Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderwater Fused Image Classification Using Deep Learning Based Resnet and Hybrid PSO + HHO ModelDevika Sarath, M. SucharithaIn image fusion, multiple images are combined into one with minimal distortion and data loss. Image fusion forms a highly configured image with good results. The image fusion technique is employed in various domains, including remote sensing, robotics, medical applications, and underwater image processing. The focus of this study is on a unique underwater image fusion approach that allows for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 24 Mar 2023 · 5,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Microfinance on the Efficiency of Maize Producers in NigeriaMuhammad Auwal Ahmed, Zainalabidin Mohamed, Abdullahi Iliyasu, Golnaz RezaiThe study applies descriptive analysis, Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) of efficiency model and fractional regression model to data collected in 2016 using cross-sectional survey of maize producers in Nigeria. The purpose was to determine the impact of microfinance on the technical efficiency of maize producers and evaluates factors that influence inefficiency among credit beneficiaries and non-credit beneficiaries. Results show that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 30 May 2017 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Data Mining Methods Across all Domains of a Smart CityRushit Dave, Nuo Xu, Simon Arneberg et al.As modern cities continue to develop, smart devices are being used to improve citizens’ lives. As these devices become more sophisticated, the amount of information that they collect increases. A Smart City is a city that uses a large amount of generated data to constantly improve the services offered to the people that live there. Data mining techniques can be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 5 · 30 May 2022 · 7,075 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN EFFECTIVE OPTIMIZED GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR SCALABLE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL FROM CLOUD USING BIG DATAR. Palson Kennedy, T. V. GopalThe distributed computations are broadly used in the current world for processing large scale jobs. For data intensive applications with big data, it has recently received a very good attention. A simple programming model that allows easy development of scalable parallel applications to process big data on large clusters was required. In our proposed work the input files will be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 31 Jan 2014 · 6,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotocatalytic Decolourization of Textile Effluent Containing Reactive Red 120 Dye With UV/TiO2Rishi Ananthashankar, Abdel GhalyThe efficiency of degradation of an aqueous solution of reactive red 120 dye using Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) was evaluated. A low pressure UV lamp and a combination of UV/TiO2 were tested using ten different dye concentrations (50 - 500 mg/L) at several retention times (5.2-60 min) a pH of 10.5. The effect of acidic pH (pH = 3) on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2013 · 8,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Efficiency Investigation on Heat Recovery System Used in a Solar-Powered Desalination ProcessAouatef Rachdi, Louy Qoaider, Mahmoud Ben-Amara, AmenAllah GuizaniThe aim of this work is to experimentally study, the effect of the heat recovery on water production in a solar desalination process that is working with multiple stage humidification technique. The water production, the temperature and the humidity were tested for such a pilot plant, which operates without and with a heat recovery system. The humidifier efficiency increases with … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 11 Mar 2013 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMixing Patterns and Residence Time Determination in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed SystemA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldFluidized bed gasification can be used to convert the solar energy stored as carboneous compounds in biomass into a carbon neutral fuel with reduced emissions. Canada produces 20.57 million tonnes of wheat straw annually which could be used for green energy production. Wheat straw residue gasification has the capability of replacing 7.5 % (0.62 EJ) of Canada’s annual fossil fuel … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Priority Oriented Scheduling Method to Increase the Reliability of Manufacturing SystemsSeyedehfarzaneh Nojabaei, Z. Leman, S. H. Tang, S. SulaimanScheduling occurs in every organization without considering the nature of its activities. In this regard, numerous scholars have attempted to schedule via divergent methods including classical scheduling, genetic algorithm, neural network and fuzzy logic and so on. Studies in manufacturing scheduling mostly deal with priority rules without any consideration of the system states. An appropriate scheduling leads to significant enhancement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 31 Jul 2012 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
