Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF GRAY LEVEL CO-OCCURRENCE MATRIX TEXTURE FEATURES FOR GLAUCOMA DIAGNOSISSakthivel Karthikeyan, N. RengarajanGlaucoma is a multifactorial optic neuropathy disease characterized by elevated Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP). As the visual loss caused by the disease is irreversible, early detection is essential. Fundus images are used as input and it is preprocessed using histogram equalization. First order features from histogram and second order features from Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) are extracted from the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 24 Dec 2013 · 7,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTIVENESS OF SECOND BEST PARTICLE INFORMATION FOR PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATIONEisuke Kita, Young-Bin ShinParticle Swarm Optimization (PSO) represents the potential solutions of the optimization problem as the particles and then, the particles move in order to find the better solution. The particle positions are updated from the personal best and the global best particle positions which have been ever found. This research focuses on the use of the second personal best and the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2013 · 6,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Intraperitoneally Injection of Different Doses of Lovastatin on Pain and Inflammatory Response Induced by Formalin in MiceKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The 3-Hydroxy-3-Methyl Glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been unequivocally shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Their lipid-lowering actions are by reversible and competitive inhibition of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a precursor of cholesterol. It has been suggested that statins appear to have therapeutic benefits in diseases that are unrelated to elevated serum cholesterol levels, such as … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Embedded Explicit Hybrid Method for Ordinary Differential EquationsF. Samat, F. IsmailProblem statement: Many differential systems that appear in practice were special second-order ordinary differential equations of the form y" = f (x, y). In the past research, there was a continuous need for methods for numerically solving these equations. Approach: This study describes the derivation and implementation of a pair of embedded explicit hybrid methods for solving non-stiff second-order ordinary … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2011 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving Directly Two Point Non Linear Boundary Value Problems Using Direct Adams Moulton MethodZanariah Abdul Majid, Phang Pei See, Mohamed SuleimanProblem statement: In this study, a direct method of Adams Moulton type was developed for solving non linear two point Boundary Value Problems (BVPs) directly. Most of the existence researches involving BVPs will reduced the problem to a system of first order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). This approach is very well established but it obviously will enlarge the systems of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 7,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEquilibrium Kinetics and Isotherm Studies of Cu (II) Adsorption from Waste Water onto Alkali Activated Oil Palm AshZaira Zaman Chowdhury, Sharifuddin Mohd. Zain, Rashid Atta Khan, Abdulbari Abdulrahman AhmedProblem statement: Heavy metal accumulation in waste water could affect aquatic life, human health and overall ecosystem adversely. Therefore, in recent years much emphasis has been given for the use of industrial waste material as low cost adsorbents for removal of metallic contaminants from waste water. Approach: Present study deals with the adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of Cu (II) cation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Computing of Eigenvalues of Differential Equations Q = λP with Eigenparameter in Boundary ConditionsS. M. Al-HarbiProblem statement: Our purpose of this study is to use sinc methods to compute approximately the eigenval-ues of second-order operator pencil of the form Q-λP. Approach: Where Q is second order self adjoint differential operator and P is a first order and λ∈C is an eigenvalue parameter. Results: The eigenparameter appears in the boundary conditions linearly. Using computable error boundswe … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 6,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMoments of Order Statistics from Nonidentically Distributed Three Parameters Beta typeI and Erlang Truncated Exponential VariablesA. A. Jamjoom, Z. A. AL-SaiaryProblem statement: Moments of order statistics of independent non-identically distributed (INID) random variables is not an easy subject to deal with for continuous distributions. One is forced to use messy algebraic calculations (whether one uses permanents or not). This was the motivation behind this study. In this study the moments of order statistics arising from independent nonidentically distributed three parameters … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,377 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterpolating Operators for MultiapproximationEman Samir BhayaProblem statement: There are no simple definitions of operators for best multiapproximation and best one sided multiapproximation which work for any measurable function in Lp for, p>0. This study investigated operators that are good for best multiapproximation and best one sided multiapproximation. Approach: We first introduced some direct results related to the approximation problem of continuous functions by Hermit-Fejer interpolation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing Reading Processing Strategies of Second Language ReadersParilah M. Shah, Aminuddin Yusof, Suhana M. Lip et al.Problem statement: The message that a writer tries to convey in a text would be subjected to several interpretations by readers. Apparently, reading is a complex process of getting input. A well-known researcher offers two views of reading: (i) reading is a process of decoding written symbols and (ii) reading is a process of reconstructing meaning. It has also been … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
