Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Navigation and Localization for Visually impaired people Using Weighted Topological MapMd Jan Nordin, Abbas M. AliProblem Statement: Image base methods are a new approach for solving problems of navigations for visually impaired people. Approach: The study introduced a new approach of an electronic cane for blind people using the environment represented as a weighted topological graph instead, each node contains images taken at some poses in the work space, instead of building a metric (3D) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputing Amplify-and-Forward Relay Amplification Factor to Improve Total Capacity at DestinationOlalekan Bello, Hushairi Zen, Al-Khalid Othman, Khairuddin Abdul HamidIn this study, we propose a new Amplify-and-Forward (AF) amplification factor to improve the error performances of the current AF schemes and thus enhance the total capacity at the destination terminal. The proposed scheme has two degrees of freedom, meaning that it contains two variable parameters that can simultaneously vary the amplification factor instead of one as in traditional variable-gain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 12 Sep 2015 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Quality of Life, Anxiety and Depression in Children with Turner Syndrome: A Case-Control StudyKhaled Saad, Abdulrahman Abdullah Al-Atram, Khaled A. Abdel Baseer et al.Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects only females and is caused by the loss of the whole or a part of the X-chromosome. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life and frequency of anxiety and depression in a cohort of Egyptian children with Turner Syndrome (TS) diagnosed in Assiut university hospitals, Assiut, Egypt. … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2015 · 7,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTEXT SIGNAGE RECOGNITION IN ANDROID MOBILE DEVICESOi-Mean Foong, Suziah Sulaiman, Kiing Kiu LingThis study presents a Text Signage Recognition (TSR) model in Android mobile devices for Visually Impaired People (VIP). Independence navigation is always a challenge to VIP for indoor navigation in unfamiliar surroundings. Assistive Technology such as Android smart devices has great potential to assist VIPs in indoor navigation using built-in speech synthesizer. In contrast to previous TSR research which was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2013 · 6,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Multi-Cracks in the Gate Rotor Shaft Based on the Wavelet Finite Element MethodBin ZhaoIn order to have fault identification for the gate rotor shaft with multiple cracks effectively, the quantity identification method of the gate rotor shaft with multiple cracks based on wavelet finite element method is established and the frequency test of the gate rotor shaft based on blind source separation algorithm is analyzed. Firstly the wavelet finite element was established by … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2013 · 7,275 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 abstractEnergy Efficient Hidden Markov Model Based Target Tracking Mechanism in Wireless Sensor NetworksB. Amutha, M. PonnavaikkoProblem statement: Target tracking is a challenging application in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) because it is computation-intensive and requires real-time location processing. This study proposes a practical target tracking system based on the Hidden Markov Model in a distributed signal processing framework. In this framework, wireless sensor nodes perform target detection and tracking, whereas target localization requires the collaborative signal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,177 accessesView PDFCite
