Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimplified Block Matching Algorithm for Fast Motion Estimation in Video CompressionM. Ezhilarasan, P. ThambiduraiBlock matching motion estimation was one of the most important modules in the design of any video encoder. It consumed more than 85% of video encoding time due to searching of a candidate block in the search window of the reference frame. To minimize the search time on block matching, a simplified and efficient Block Matching Algorithm for Fast Motion … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHOMOLOGY MODELING AND MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDIES OF EC1 DOMAIN OF VE-CADHERIN TO ELUCIDATE DOCKING INTERACTION WITH CADHERIN-DERIVED PEPTIDEVivitri Dewi Prasasty, Usman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Teruna Jaya SiahaanVE-cadherin is a protein in the cadherin family that is found at the adherens junctions of the microvessel endothelial cells of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB). It is recognized as the homotypic cell adhesion molecules and there is limited structural information on how VE-cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion. It has been shown that the EC1 domain of cadherins is important for the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,530 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ant-Based Clustering Algorithm with Cluster Analysis TechniquesWafa’a Omar, Amr Badr, Abd El-Fattah HegazyCluster analysis is a data mining technology designed to derive a good understanding of data to solve clustering problems by extracting useful information from a large volume of mixed data elements. Recently, researchers have aimed to derive clustering algorithms from nature’s swarm behaviors. Ant-based clustering is an approach inspired by the natural clustering and sorting behavior of ant colonies. In … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 7 Jun 2013 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEdge Sensing Demosaicing Using Adaptive Weighted InterpolationDev R. Newlin, Elwin Chandra MonieDemosaicing is a process of obtaining a full color image by interpolating the missing colors of an image captured from a digital still and video cameras that use a single-sensor array. The edges are not handled properly in the existing demosaicking methods. This study provides an effective demosaicing algorithm applying an adaptive weighted-edge interpolation to handle green pixels. Due to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 29 Apr 2013 · 6,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Theory of the Mind as a Complex SystemCraig P. Speelman, Kim Kirsner, Stephan HalloyFive principles of skill acquisition are presented based on a review of research on human learning and expertise. Essentially these principles state that practice leads to faster and more efficient uses of knowledge. This enables faster performance and results in less demand on mental resources. In turn these outcomes enable higher level behaviours to be attempted. Ultimately skills are developed … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 9 Jul 2012 · 9,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIterative Process to Improve Simple Adaptive Subdivision Surfaces Method for Triangular MeshesNoor Asma Husain, Mohd Shafry Mohd Rahim, Abdullah BadeProblem statement: Subdivision surfaces were applied to the entire meshes in order to produce smooth surfaces refinement from coarse mesh. Several schemes had been introduced in this area to provide a set of rules to converge smooth surfaces. However, to compute and render all the vertices are really inconvenient in terms of memory consumption and runtime during the subdivision process. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomating the Mapping Process of Traditional Malay Textile Knowledge Model with the Core OntologySyerina Azlin Md Nasir, Nor Laila Md NoorProblem statement: The wave of ontology has spread drastically in the cultural heritage domain. The impact can be seen from the growing number of cultural heritage web information systems, available textile ontology and harmonization works with the core ontology, CIDOC CRM. The aim of this study is to provide a base for common views in automating the process of mapping … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of IBS Precast Concrete Beam-Column Connections Under Earthquake Effects: A Literature ReviewPatrick Tiong Liq Yee, Azlan Bin Adnan, Abdul Karim Mirasa, Ahmad Baharuddin Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Despite demonstrating rather much benefits comparing to the conventional cast-in-place construction, the acceptance level of precast concrete building is still reportedly low in Malaysia. The implication imposed by stricter seismic design provisions would only worsen the matter. Approach: The main objective of this study was to identify the most appropriate type of beam-column connections to be introduced to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 17,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstrained Response Surface Optimization for a Laser Beam Welding ProcessPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: On a current operating condition of a laser beam welding process in the hard disk drive industry, it has been found that shear strength of the head support and suspension assembly is slightly higher than customers' specification. This situation leads to an inspection with a large sample size and a high frequency. Shear strength is not only one … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Speech Recognition Using Fusion Techniques and Adaptive FilteringS. A.R. Al-Haddad, S. A. Samad, A. Hussain et al.The study proposes an algorithm for noise cancellation by using recursive least square (RLS) and pattern recognition by using fusion method of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Speech signals are often corrupted with background noise and the changes in signal characteristics could be fast. These issues are especially important for robust speech recognition. Robustness is a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
