Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Disruption-Tolerant Model for Building a Mobile Application Using Web ServiceMaryati Mohd. Yusof, Mansor Omar, Zarina ShukurProblem statement: The emerging technology in broadband telecommunication and mobile devices has increased the use of mobile applications. However, the use of mobile application is affected with low bandwidth or disrupted broadband telecommunication due to building blockage or out of coverage area. Approach: We proposed a Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Application Model (DTMA) that enables remote data access and overcomes constraint due … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 1 Dec 2010 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Substrate-Borne Vibrational Signals of Euschistus servus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)Brittany Lampson, Young Han, Ahmad Khalilian et al.Problem Statement: Stink bugs were not major pests of cotton in the southeastern United States until cotton varieties containing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenes came into common use, enabling reductions in insecticide applications against highly destructive lepidopteran pests. To maintain the benefits of reduced insecticide applications, it would be advantageous to detect and target isolated populations of stink bugs before they … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWavelet-Based Geometry Coding for Three Dimensional Mesh Using Space Frequency QuantizationShymaa T. El-Leithy, Walaa M. ShetaProblem statement: Recently, 3D objects have been used in several applications like internet games, virtual reality and scientific visualization. These applications require real time rendering and fast transmission of large objects through internet. However, due to limitation of bandwidth, the compression and streaming of 3D object is still an open research problem. Approach: Novel procedure for compression and coding of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Pose Tracking based on Line Segment MatchingJunqiu Wang, Jingjing Cui, Yanjie Gao et al.Pose tracking is a crucial issue for many applications such as robotic tasks and facility operations. Vision-based approaches with non-contact properties are appropriate choices for these tasks. However, vision-based approaches are not sufficiently robust and fast. In this work, we propose a vision-based pose tracking to deal with these problems. We estimate poses using Lie group and Lie algebra representation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2018 · 7,848 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHRONIC NEONATAL DIAZOXIDE THERAPY IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ADVERSE EFFECTSMichele M. Cox, Christopher C. Wendler, Ildiko Erdelyi et al.Diazoxide is an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) agonist that has been shown to neuroprotective effects. These observations raise the possibility that diazoxide may have potential as a therapeutic agent for other applications. This study investigated (1) the long term effects of chronic neonatal administration of diazoxide and (2) the role of KATP on murin behavior and neurohistology. C57B/6J pups were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2014 · 7,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Image Dithering Via Tchebichef Moment TransformNur Azman Abu, Ferda Ernawan, Nanna SuryanaMany image display applications and printing devices allow only limited number of colours. They have limited computational power and storage to produce high quality outputs on high bit-depth colour image. A dithering technique is called for here in order to improve the perceptual visual quality of the limited bit-depth images. A dithered image is represented by a natural colour in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 11 Jun 2013 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStill Image Compression Using Texture and Non Texture Prediction ModelG. Mohanbaabu, P. RenugaProblem statement: Existing lossless image compression schemes attempt to do prediction in an image data using their Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and their spatial neighborhood based techniques. In the previous techniques such as Vector Quantization (VQ) and Gradient Adjusted Prediction (GAP) the texture and non-texture regions are not classified separately. Texture and Non-texture images prophecy has been a key factor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Feb 2012 · 7,303 accessesView PDFCite
