Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Multi-Scale Filtering to Initialize a Background Extraction ModelS. H. Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, N. A. Lili et al.Problem statement: Probability-based methods which usually work based on the saved history of each pixel are utilized severally in extracting a background image for moving detection systems. Probability-based methods suffer from a lack of information when the system first begins to work. The model should be initialized using an alternative accurate method. Approach: The use of a nonparametric filtering to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 May 2012 · 7,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective History-based Background Extraction SystemSeyed Hashem Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, Maryam GolchinProblem statement: In many visions-based surveillance systems, the first step is accomplished by detecting moving objects resulted from subtraction of the current captured frame from the extracted background. So, the results of these systems mainly depend on the accuracy of the background image. Approach: In this study, a proposed background extraction system is presented to model the background using a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 23 May 2012 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Factors for Wound Complications Following AbdominoplastySamir K. JabaitiProblem Statement: Abdominoplasty has become an increasingly popular procedure. Risk factors affecting wound complications of abdominoplasty are not adequately defined in literature. Identification of these risk factors is crucial for better patient’s selection and counseling. The objectives of this study were to determine wound complication rate following abdominoplasty and to examine the relationship of a set of possible risk factors … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Tolerance Grid Scheduling with Checkpoint Based on Ant Colony SystemSaufi Bukhari, Ku Ruhana Ku-Mahamud, Hiroaki MorinoTask resubmission and checkpoint are among several popular techniques used in providing fault tolerance in grid computing. However, due to the lack of side-by-side comparison, it is not certain of the best technique that would not degrade the system performance in addition to providing fault tolerance capability. This study proposed Dynamic ACS-based Fault Tolerance in grid computing using resubmission to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 1 Sep 2017 · 7,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructure of a Photovoltaic Electric LocomotiveFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe paper proposes to start studies at the global level for the implementation of photovoltaic electric locomotives. The question the author asks is why such trains have not been implemented so far, is there no interest in such a thing? This may avoid the current rush to implement 5G technologies in an already extremely dangerous form for humanity, the rush … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2019 · 7,196 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 · 9,527 accessesView PDFCite
