Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost-Effective Wire-Harness Model by Using Polymer Optical FiberMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Farshad Nasimi KhamenehIn the past decade automotive industries faced the exponential increase of in-vehicle electronic devices. The hydraulic systems are replacing with sophisticate electronic systems. Market demands for exploiting new in-vehicle technologies such as multimedia systems, internet access, GPS, Mobile communication, internal private network; engine, body and power train intelligent control and monitoring systems are increasing daily. These new needs make the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 25 Jun 2013 · 7,021 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Volume Shadow using Visible-Non Visible AlgorithmHoshang Kolivand, Mohd Shahrizal Sunar, Azam Amirshakarami, Zhila RanjbariProblem statement: Shadows are most important effect to make realistic games and visually appealing images, but they are poor in frame per second. Silhouette detection is most important phases to create real-time shadow. Approach: Present study describes a real-time shadow generated with volume shadow algorithm using Visible-Non Visible algorithm (VNV) in virtual environment illuminated by a movable light source to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,988 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Optical Reflectometry to Observe Various Concentrations of GlucoseHariyadi SoetedjoProblem statement: Monitoring technique on glucose is a hot topic as this compound has been considered to be important in human healthties. Optical reflectometry has been used to study various concentrations of glucose dissolved in the water. Approach: The self-construction of reflectometer used was of hemi-cylinder aluminum to allow light beam strikes the sample at 70° for sor p-polarization state. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,144 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotocatalytic Activity and Antibacterial Behavior of Fe3+-Doped TiO2/SnO2 NanoparticlesLek Sikong, Budsabakorn Kongreong, Duangporn Kantachote, Weerawan SutthisripokProblem statement: Since bacteria mainly causes damage on fresh vegetables and fruits during transportation to market, anti-bacterial TiO2 photocatalyst was applied for their packaging films. However, it has been known that pure TiO2 exhibits low photocatalytic property due to rapid recombination of photo-activated electrons and holes. Doping with metal or metal oxide shows the improvement of photocatalytic activity and disinfection … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 15,233 accessesView PDF Cite

Results: The reactor, made of glass slides (tubes) coated with a thin-film of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,054 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Studies on the Effect of Phototoxicity of A New Photosensitizer Extracted from Flowers and Aerial Parts of Cichorium pumilumM-Ali H. Al-Akhras, Amr Amin, Karima Mohammad et al.New photosensitizers have been extracted from the flowers and aerial parts of the Cichorium pumilum Jacq (chicory). Chicory grows naturally in local wild areas and is known to cause quick death of only white sheep during its flowering season in autumn. Some of those isolated photosensitizers are yet to be further characterized. Preliminary investigations show a high degradation of isolated … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,753 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Multi-Centroid Moment Invariants in Thermal-Based Face Identification SystemKhairul Hamimah Abas, Osamu OnoProblem statement: Current paramount methods and approaches in face identification field rely on facial characteristics; such as location of eyes, length of nose and mouth, regardless the type of medium used to acquire the facial images. The visibility of these facial characteristics varies significantly with environmental factors (e.g., lighting elements). Various researches have been devoted to develop methodologies for addressing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,163 accessesView PDF Cite
