Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand Cover Change Detection Using Texture AnalysisXiaofeng Wu, Fen Yang, Roly LishmanProblem statement: It is an important task to detect land cover changes from remotely sensed data for environmental monitoring. Although there are some applications of visual textures to the land use, they are limited to a few land cover categories with the application of one texture measure. Since land cover types are complex and often the integration of various objects, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,198 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccumulation of Heavy Metals in Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) from Al-Khadoud Spring, Al-Hassa, Saudi ArabiaMohammed A. Al-KahtaniProblem statement: Al-Khadoud Spring is one of the largest spring in Al-Hassa governorate (Saudi Arabia). Due to the extended domestic activities and urbanization as well as the continuous industrial and agricultural growth of the region, spring water quality is potentially changing. Approach: This study was conducted to measure toxic heavy metal concentrations in water and fish samples along the spring … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 11,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Potassium and Calcium Hydroxide, Compost and Humic Acid from Sago (Metroxylon sagu) WasteC. P. Auldry, O. H. Ahmed, A.M. Nik Muhamad et al.Problem statement: Agriculture waste such as Sago Waste (SW) has a potential to cause pollution when the waste is discarded into rivers. In order to add value to SW, a study was conducted to produce potassium and calcium hydroxide, compost and Humic Acid (HA) from SW. Approach: The SW was air-dried and some grinded. The grinded SW was incinerated at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighted Semi-Blind Channel Identification by Cross Relation MethodMohamed Tahar Taba, S. FemmamProblem statement: The bandwidth efficiency of many communication systems could be improved if the transmission channel was estimated blindly without resort to training sequences. GMSK was a spectrum-efficient modulation scheme and it was adopted as the modulation standard of GSM systems. Approach: However, because of its phase modulation, Gaussian filtering and partial response signalling properties, Results: The simulation results showed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Excess Oxygen to Mixture on the Gasses Emissions of a Gasoline EngineWaleed MomaniProblem statement: The effects of excess feeding oxygen to the fuel-air mixture on the exhausts gasses emissions concentrations are investigated here. It is known that spark-ignition and diesel engines are considered as major sources of urban air pollution; such pollutants are CO2, CO, HC. Hence, many techniques have been used to decrease such emissions such as: Catalytic converters, oxidizers, traps … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural Networks Based Time-Delay Estimation using DCT CoefficientsSamir J. Shaltaf, Ahmad A. MohammadThis study dealt with the problem of estimating constant time delay embedded into a received signal that was noisy, delayed and damped image of a known reference signal. The received signal was filtered, normalized with respect to the peak value it achieved and then transformed by the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) into DCT coefficients. Those DCT coefficients that were most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Studies of the Determination of Divalent Cadmium, Lead and Copper in the Boiling Medicinal Herbs by Stripping Voltammetry and by Atomic Absorption SpectrometryAhmed Hassan, Jamal A. MayoufCadmium, lead and copper were determined in ten Libyian boiling medicinal herbs samples by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry as well as by atomic absorption spectrometry. Voltammetric method was done at Hanging Mercury Dropping Electrode (HMDE) in Briton-Robinson buffer solution of pH ~2.1 at 25± 0.1°C. The sample preparation was carried out by boiling 2.0g of a finely pulverized plant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy College or University Students Hate Proofs in Mathematics?Mbaïtiga ZacharieProblem Statement: A proof is a notoriously difficult mathematical concept for students. Empirical studies have shown that students emerge from proof-oriented courses such as high-school geometry, introduction to proof, complex and abstract algebra unable to construct anything beyond very trivial proofs. Furthermore, most university students do not know what constitutes a proof and cannot determine whether a purported proof is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Multidirectional Geographical IP Traceback: Direction Ratio Sampling AlgorithmA. Rajiv Kannan, K. Duraiswamy, K. SangeethaProblem statement: An important and challenging problem is that of tracing DOS/DDOS attack source. IP traceback is the process of identifying the actual source(s) of attack packets, So that the attackers can be held accountable as also in mitigating them, either by isolating the attack sources or by filtering packets for away from the victim. Several IP traceback schemes have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeparating Low Pass and High Pass Frequencies in the Image Without loosing informationZ. Alqadi, J. Musbah, A. L. MontengroGranulometries are morphological image analysis tools that are particularly useful for estimating object sizes in binary and grayscale images, or for characterizing textures based on their pattern spectra. There are many applications that morphology can be applied to. Some morphological operations like dilation, erosion and open-close are used in image and video processing, but with no application to pre-processing for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,428 accessesView PDFCite
