Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeckle Suppression of Radar Images Using Normalized ConvolutionA. K. Helmy, G. S. El-TaweelProblem statement: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are becoming more widely used in remote sensing applications. SAR uses microwave radiation to illuminate the earth's surface. The coherent microwave illumination, however, suffers from fading effects result in generating a multiplicative speckle noise that corrupts SAR images. Approach: Through this study, scheme to reduce speckles was proposed, it was designed to accomplish … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 5 Aug 2010 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvariant Image Watermarking Using Accurate Zernike MomentsIsmail A. Ismail, Mohamed A. Shouman, Khalid M. Hosny, Hayam M. Abdel SalamProblem statement: Digital image watermarking is the most popular method for image authentication, copyright protection and content description. Zernike moments are the most widely used moments in image processing and pattern recognition. The magnitudes of Zernike moments are rotation invariant so they can be used just as a watermark signal or be further modified to carry embedded data. The computed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,014 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: An analytical approximation variant of plasticity and physical nonlinearity functions was presented and a numerical processing technique of experimental data was described. Results: The corresponding analytical formulas of plasticity functions and nonlinear creep were proposed with mathematically substantiated parameters. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeb-Enabled Framework for Real-Time Scheduler Simulator: A Teaching ToolC. Yaashuwanth, R. RameshProblem statement: A Real-Time System (RTS) is one which controls an environment by receiving data, processing it, and returning the results quickly enough to affect the functioning of the environment at that time. The main objective of this research was to develop an architectural model for the simulation of real time tasks to implement in distributed environment through web, and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Combinational Circuits for Control PurposesMaher A. Nabulsi, Mohammed A.F. Al-HusainyProblem statement: Combinational circuits are used in computers for generating binary control decisions and for providing digital components for data processing. Approach: The use of combinational circuits and logic gates to control other circuits was discussed. Different systems that use logic gates, multiplexers, decoders and encoders to control different circuits were presented. This study presented a design and implementation of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultimodal Integration (Image and Text) Using Ontology AlignmentAhmad Adel Abu Shareha, Mandava Rajeswari, Dhanesh RamachandramProblem statement: This study proposed multimodal integration method at the concept level to investigate information from multimodalities. The multimodal data was represented as two separate lists of concepts which were extracted from images and its related text. The concepts extracted from image analysis are often ambiguous, while the concepts extracted from text processing could be sense-ambiguous. The major problems that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProbabilistic Empirical Green's Function Method in Ground Motion SimulationEhsan Khojastehfar, Amir Saedi Daryan, Mohammad Amin AssarehProblem statement: The Empirical Green's Function method is used to synthesize strong ground motion time histories.In previous simulation processes parameters were taken deterministically. Approach: In this study, the probabilistic consideration for some of these parameters was inserted to the process. For implementing this method a computer program was developed in GIS. GIS abilities for storing and processing geographic data is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANN Based Prediction of Effect of Reinforcements on Abrasive Wear Loss and Hardness in a Hybrid MMCP. Sathyabalan, V. Selladurai, P. SakthivelProblem statement: The reinforcements added to an alloy lead to variation in properties. The content and size of the reinforcement influences the properties of composites. Very little research has been carried out in hybrid composites. Work on hybrid LM6 aluminium alloy metal matrix composites (MMC) with flyash and SiC has been initiated here. The effect of the four parameters, size … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmpirical Analysis II: Business Cycles and Inward FDI in ChinaYahya Sharahili, Yao LiuIt is well-known that the current speeding-up of globalization has been, on one hand, spreading macro economic effects around the world, while, on the other, fueling firms’ activities of crossing national borders. Then, are there any links between these two influences? As we have concluded in previous research that inward FDI and business cycle development do pro-cyclically relate on Granger … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,905 accessesView PDFCite
