Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleClose Range Photogrammetry and Neural Network for Facial RecognitionRami Al-Ruzouq, Shatha KadhimRecently, there has been an increasing interest in utilizing imagery in different fields such as archaeology, architecture, mechanical inspection and biometric identifiers where face recognition considered as one of the most important physiological characteristics that is related to the shape and geometry of the faces and used for identification and verification of a person's identity. In this study, close range … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 13 Aug 2012 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe So-Called Moderate Justices on the Rehnquist Court: The Role of Stare Decisis in Salient and Closely-Divided CasesPaul Douglas FooteProblem statement: A major question that has puzzled political scientists is what factors influence the decisions of US Supreme Court justices. Despite 20th Century statutory reforms that have led to a fundamental weakening of institutional cohesion on the Supreme Court, the norm of stare decisis continues to serve as a constraint to moderate decision-makers under certain external conditions. Evaluate voting … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleClosed Form Solution to an Optimal Control Problem by Orthogonal Polynomial ExpansionMohammad Ali Tavallaei, Behrouz TousiIn this study the use of orthogonal polynomials for obtaining a close form solution to optimal control problems with a weighed quadratic cost function, is proposed. The method consists of using the Orthogonal Polynomials for the expansion of the state variables and the control signal. This expansion results in a set of linear equations, from which the closed form solution … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSurvival in the Current Healthcare Environment How Close Are We to Socialized Medicine?Eldo E. FrezzaIn the 1980's, some hospitals established internal agencies to regulate cash flow and capital expense. State agencies promoted the evolution of healthcare facilities into more business-like organizations. Attention to the following matters will reduce hospital costs: 1) prevent or reduce nosocomial infections; 2) treat diseases at a stage amenable to outpatient therapy; 3) obtain complete information about the policies of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,689 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOn the Acclimatization of Pelagic Fish Species Juveniles in a Closed Environment: An Atlantic Horse Mackerel Case StudyCharles Odilichukwu R. Okpala, Giacomo Sardo, Sergio VitaleUnderstanding how fish species acclimatize to a new environment may help to improve aquatic/fisheries resource management. Further, baseline information specific to behavior patterns of (pelagic) fish species juveniles particularly during acclimatization appears unreported to best of our knowledge. Therefore, the current study was goaled to examine the acclimatization of pelagic fish species juveniles in a closed environment using Trachurus trachurus … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 20 Jul 2017 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn NPV Optimization Model for Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Design and PlanningAl-Ashhab Mohamed Sayed, Nahid AfiaAs the importance of forward-reverse logistics increases, attention will be focused on parameters which affect Net Present Value (NPV) of the whole system, aiming at considering the time value of money in planning. In this research, an NPV optimization model for multi-period multi-product closed-loop supply chain network design and planning is developed to maximize the total NPV. The effect of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2017 · 7,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimulation Analysis on Proportional Integral and Derivative Control of Closed Loop DC Motor Drive with Bipolar Voltage SwitchingP. Karpagavalli, A. Ebenezer JeyakumarThis study presents the performance of a new four quadrant single phase DC drive closed loop system controlled by proportional integral and derivative controller with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) full bridge DC-DC converter using bipolar voltage switching. The proposed method is found to be more efficient in improving the step response characteristics such as reducing the settling time, rise time, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 29 Jun 2013 · 6,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Implementation of Closed Loop LCL-T Resonant DC-to-DC Converter Using Low Cost Embedded ControllerM. Annamalai, M. Vijaya KumarThe aim of this study is to simulate and implement open loop and closed loop controlled DC-DC converter for stand-alone wind energy system. Wind turbines, however, are not always very efficient in the wind speeds that are most common to a region. Typically, wind energy systems are designed to be highly efficient in high wind speed and have a cut-off … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 6 Feb 2013 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
