Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA HYBRID FIREFLY ALGORITHM WITH FUZZY-C MEAN ALGORITHM FOR MRI BRAIN SEGMENTATIONMutasem K. AlsmadiImage processing is one of the essential tasks to extract suspicious region and robust features from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A numbers of the segmentation algorithms were developed in order to satisfy and increasing the accuracy of brain tumor detection. In the medical image processing brain image segmentation is considered as a complex and challenging part. Fuzzy c-means is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 10 Sep 2014 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA LOAD BALANCING MODEL USING FIREFLY ALGORITHM IN CLOUD COMPUTINGA. Paulin Florence, V. ShanthiCloud computing is a model that points at streamlining the on-demand provisioning of software, hardware and data as services and providing end-users with flexible and scalable services accessible through the Internet. The main objective of the proposed approach is to maximize the resource utilization and provide a good balanced load among all the resources in cloud servers. Initially, a load … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 15 Feb 2014 · 8,763 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleForest Fires and Resuspension of Radionuclides into the AtmosphereFernando P. Carvalho, Joao M. Oliveira, Margarida MaltaProblem statement: Forest fires are especially frequent around the Mediterranean Sea basin in the summer period and might be able to release naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides from plant biomass and inject them into the atmosphere. The impact of this radioactivity on populations was not investigated before. Approach: Radionuclide analysis was performed in plants, in smoke from plant burning and in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOn Analysis and Design of the Enhanced Firewall for Intranet SecurityU. K. Singh, A. K. Ramani, N. S. ChaudhariIntranet often employ an Internet firewall to mitigate risks of system penetration, data theft, data destruction and other security breaches. Conventional Internet firewalls impose an overly simple inside vs. outside model of security that is incompatible with many business practices that require extending limited trust to external entities. Additionally, firewall security perimeters are somewhat weak: they provide no protection from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAccess Control, Fire Prevention and Surveillance Security SystemAkande Saheed, Adeoye Adeyinka O.M., Adeola-Bello ZulikhaThis system is designed to detect intruders, gas leakages as well as to serve as a surveillance system. This work focuses on the development of a reliable access control and fire prevention system synergized with surveillance system. In developing the system, Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors, gas sensor, buzzer, Global System Mobile (GSM) module, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and RGB Light … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 1 Oct 2019 · 6,694 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleESTIMATION OF WEIBULL PARAMETERS USING A RANDOMIZED NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE SEVERITY OF FIRE ACCIDENTSSoontorn Boonta, Anchalee Sattayatham, Pairote SattayathamIn this study, we applied Randomized Neighborhood Search (RNS) to estimate the Weibull parameters to determine the severity of fire accidents; the data were provided by the Thai Reinsurance Public Co., Ltd. We compared this technique with other frequently-used techniques: the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), the Method of Moments (MOM), the Least Squares Method (LSM) and the weighted least squares … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCFD Simulation of Biogas Fired Clay Brick KilnAlemayehu Beyene, Venkata Ramayya, Getachew ShunkiMore strong and quality clay bricks are obtained if and only if bricks are fired with uniform optimum temperature during clay brick firing process in the clay brick kiln. To insure this transient temperature of fluegas and brick are analyzed using CFD simulation during clay brick firing in the clay brick kiln. In the simulation, 3-D geometrical model of fluegas … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2018 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation of Lignite and Firewood Co-combustion in a Furnace for Tobacco Curing ApplicationNakorn Tippayawong, Chutchawan Tantakitti, Satis ThavornunCo-combustion of lignite and firewood was investigated for an application in tobacco curing industry in Northern Thailand. Extensive experiments have been carried out in a newly developed furnace suitable for small curing unit, in place of locally made furnace. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the performance of the combustion chamber in the required thermal output range for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation on the Performance of Producer Gas Fired Reversible Flat-Bed DryerW. Beno Wincy, M. Edwin, S. Joseph SekharRice is one of the important crops which supplies energy to around 80% of the world population. Paddy drying is an energy intensive process as huge amount of energy is required for drying. Direct combustion of rice husk or wood is followed at the mills to generate heat which is found to be less efficient and highly environment polluting. Hence … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Sep 2019 · 7,301 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimal Production Planning of Electricity from Coal-Fired Power Plant Networks under Environmental ConsiderationsHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiIn this study, electricity production from a network of coal power plants and under environmental constraints is considered. Several pollutants are incorporated into the decision planning process including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and mercury (Hg). A Nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model was first developed to assist in the evaluation process. An exact linearization of the nonconvex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,070 accessesView PDFCite
