Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing the Color Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) Algorithm Using Correlation TheoryM. Santhi, R. S.D. Wahida BanuProblem statement: Efficient color image compression algorithm is essential for mass storage and the transmission of the image. The compression efficiency of the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) coding algorithm for color images is improved by using correlation theory. Approach: In this study the correlation between the color channels are used to propose the new algorithm. The correlation between … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 16 Jul 2011 · 6,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Electrochemical Investigation of the Redox Properties of Murexide in Aqueous and Non-Aqueous MediaHossnia S. MohranKnowledge of solvent effects on the redox properties of Murexide (Mu) is important for understanding its role as an electron acceptor in analytical and inorganic chemistry. In the present study, an investigation of the electrochemical behavior of the compound by both Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions was undertaken. It is suggested … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural Networks Based Time-Delay Estimation using DCT CoefficientsSamir J. Shaltaf, Ahmad A. MohammadThis study dealt with the problem of estimating constant time delay embedded into a received signal that was noisy, delayed and damped image of a known reference signal. The received signal was filtered, normalized with respect to the peak value it achieved and then transformed by the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) into DCT coefficients. Those DCT coefficients that were most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Stress Analysis of the Arterial Wall Utilizing Physiological Pressure WaveformsM.M. Khani, M. Tafazzoli-Shadpour, S. Delavarpour et al.Arterial diseases, promoted by alterations in arterial wall properties, are among the main causes of mortality. Mechanical stresses of the arterial wall caused by pulsatile luminal pressure define arterial function in normal and pathological conditions. This study aims to determine dynamic stress distribution in the arterial wall subjected to physiological pressure waveforms. Finite element models of a typical artery are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Saturation Induction for Bi-Substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet Prepared Via Sol Gel TechniqueNoorhana Yahya, Goh Kah HeanY3.0-xBixFe5O12 samples (x = 0.2 and 0.4) were prepared via novel sol-gel and conventional solid-state techniques. The effect of bismuth in both techniques was investigated in terms of shrinkage, density, hysteresis and initial permeability. Sharp and clear diffraction XRD lines with highest peak appear at about 32° of the 2θ¸, for all the powders sintered at 900°C and 1250°C for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Heat Moisture Treatment Using Different Solvents and Incubation Times on Resistant Starch Formation of Rice FlourAnuchita Moongngarm, Piyatida Srijinda, Tatdao Paseephol et al.The thermal and pasting properties and Resistant Starch (RS) formation of high amylose rice flour were investigated at 121°C using different solvents and storage times. The samples treated with water and lactic acid 10 mmol/L with storage times 0, 24, 48 and 72 h had the highest degree of gelatinization, ranging from 98.64 to 99.86%. The samples treated with ethanol … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 9 Sep 2015 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance, Analysis of Filtering Schedule Using Deblocking Filter for the Reduction of Block Artifacts from MPEQ Compressed Document ImagesM. Anto Bennet, I. Jacob RaglendProblem statement: The visual effects of blocking artifacts can be reduce by using deblocking filter. Also with out smoothing the natural edges,the perceived quality of video sequence can be enchanced. This study propose a method to remove blocking artifacts in low bit-rate block based video coding. Approach: The proposed algorithm has two separate filtering modes, which are selected by pixel … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 8 Aug 2012 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordReduction of PAPR by Using Clipping and Filtering for Different Modulation SchemesArun Kumar, Manisha GuptaOrthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the most advanced technologies for high speed data access in mobile communication. It’s significantly increases the capacity, data-rate etc. but one of its disadvantage is high Peak Average Power Ratio (PAPR) which reduce the performance of transmitter amplifier. In this study, PAPR is reduced by using a clipping and filtering technique for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 13 Feb 2016 · 8,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas Engine for Nitrogen Oxides ReductionP. M. Diaz, B. Durga PrasadProblem statement: This study describes the use of Reformer Gas (RG) to alter NOx emission in a CNG-fueled HCCI engine. Comparison with diesel, natural gas has a very high octane number (≈120) and high auto-ignition temperature (≈600°C). Composed mostly of methane, natural gas is the only common fuel to manifest relatively pure, single-stage combustion. Other fuels have stronger low-temperature reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
