Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison and Analysis of Discrete Cosine Transform based Joint Photographic Experts Group Image Compression using Robust Watermarking AlgorithmS.M. Ramesh, Dr. A. ShanmugamProblem statement: The performance of the watermarking algorithms is analyzed using different compression standards to study the watermark extraction behavior of these algorithms. Approach: A digital watermarking method is said to be effective if the watermark embedded in an image by it could survive against diverse attacks ranging from compression, filtering to cropping. Several techniques are presented in the literature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Image Watermarking Using Discrete Wavelet TransformDhandapani Samiappan, Krishnan AmmasiProblem statement: Digital Watermarking have gained popularity in recent years as a means of protecting multimedia data from illegal copying and unlawful reproduction. It is mainly used for copyright protection of multimedia data. Approach: In this study an image watermarking algorithm which is blind (do not require the presence of host image for detection) and robust is proposed. Results: The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2010 · 8,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Temperature and Time to the Antioxidant Activity in Plecranthus amboinicus Lour.Mohd S. Azman Abdul Rahim, Jailani Salihon, Mashitah Mohd Yusoff et al.Problem statement: Processing of food involving heat will contribute to loss of nutritional content, thus it is important to measure and control temperature and time to reduce the loss. Approach: Examine the effects of variations in boiling temperature and boiling time on the antioxidant activity of the boiling extract of Plecranthus amboinicus Lour. Fresh plants were boiled at 45, 60, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing the Reliability of Fuzzy Inference System-Based Skin DetectorAlaa Y. Taqa, Hamid A. JalabProblem statement: Skin detection is a common primitive for many human-related image processing applications, such as video surveillance, naked image filters and face detection. Skin color is considered as a useful and discriminating spatial feature for many applications, but it is not robust enough to deal with complex image environments. Skin tones range from dark (some Africans) to light white … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscrete Wavelet Transform Based Classification of Human Emotions Using Electroencephalogram SignalsMohamed RizonProblem statement: The aim of this study was to report the human emotion assessment using Electroencephalogram (EEG). Approach: An audio-visual induction based protocol was designed for inducing five different emotions (happy, surprise, fear, disgust and neutral) on 20 subjects in the age group of 19~39 years. EEG signals are recorded from 64 channels placed over entire scalp according to International … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Power Multiplier Design Using Latches and Flip-FlopsC. N. Marimuthu, P. ThangarajProblem statement: Power dissipation is designated as critical parameter in modern VLSI design field. In VLSI implementation low power concept is necessary to meet Moore’s law and to produce consumer electronics with more back up and less weight. To save significant power consumption of a VLSI design, it is a good direction to reduce its dynamic power which is the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Jul 2010 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicological Response of the Green Alga Chlorella vulgaris, to Some Heavy MetalsE. Afkar, H. Ababna, A. A. FathiProblems statement: The disturbance of aquatic ecosystems provoked by heavy metals pollution from industrial and domestic sources, has as consequence the loss of biological diversity, as well as increased bioaccumulation and magnification of toxicants in the food chain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of some heavy metals on some physiological activities of Chlorella vulgaris beyerinck … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEco-Efficient Product Design Using Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) PrinciplesIssac Lim Sing Sheng, Teoh Kok-SooProblem statement: In recent years, much attention has been focused on the eco-efficiency of product development. The majority of environmental decisions are only made in the later stages of product development where not much modification can be done. To produce eco-efficient products, environmental decisions ought to be considered in the early stages of product development. With the demand of developing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanism of Microencapsulation with Urea-Formaldehyde PolymerRochmadi, Agus Prasetya, Wahyu HasokowatiProblem statement: Microcapsule is one of important fine chemical products in the current chemical industries. Better understanding of microencapsulation process is useful to properly design of microcapsule with specific characteristics. The aim of this research is to study the mechanism of Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules formation. Approach: Microcapsule was prepared in two steps. The first step was the preparation of oil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,718 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Control Technique Applied in Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Sag MitigationRosli Omar, Nasrudin Abd Rahim, Marizan SulaimanThe Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) was a power electronics device that was able to compensate voltage sags on critical loads dynamically. The DVR consists of VSC, injection transformers, passive filters and energy storage (lead acid battery). By injecting an appropriate voltage, the DVR restores a voltage waveform and ensures constant load voltage. There were so many types of the control … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,141 accessesView PDFCite
