Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Depth Estimation System for Laboratory Studies using Video ImageryAlec Torres, Rodolfo SilvaA simple video-based system has been developed for depth estimation based on wave propagation characteristics. A numerical simulation of a long-crested monochromatic wave propagating over a beach with straight and parallel contours is used for testing the depth inversion system. An oblique video, simulating field conditions, is recorded, digitized and rectified for its further analysis. Pixel intensity time series from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Vibrations in Switched Reluctance Motor DrivesS. Balamurugan, R. ArumugamThis study discusses a simple algorithm for estimation and reduction of Vibrations in a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) using magnetic circuit simulation in MATLAB/SIMULINK Environment. A Non-linear model is developed using magnetic circuit equations, wherein non-linearity is added using a inductance profile with back EMF. Dynamic characteristic of the SRM is simulated and the same is being verified experimentally. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Human Development Index using Data Envelopment Analysis ApproachYasmine Refai Salama, Ramadan Hamed, Mahmoud RashwanComposite Indicator is considered themathematical aggregation which has wide usage for monitoring performances,conducting benchmarks, analyzing policies, and communicating publicly. HumanDevelopment Index (HDI) is the most popular index which measures humandevelopment through average achievement in its main dimensions: Health status,education status, and living standard but it is faced with several critiques,positive and negative. Moreover, HDI was tested to have a positive … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2022 · 6,092 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Phase Support Vector Regression Soft Sensor for Online Product Quality Prediction in Glutamate Fermentation ProcessRongjian Zheng, Feng PanGlutamate fermentation is inherently nonlinear, multi-phase and an aerobic fermentation process. As long measurement delays and expensive apparatus cost, on-line measurement of the product concentration is not necessarily available. The present fermentation process monitoring and quality prediction involve manual interpretation of highly informative, however, the concentrations of substrates, biomass and products are only low frequency off-line measurements. In this paper, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2017 · 8,070 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrophysical Properties Distribution Modelling of an Onshore Field, Niger Delta, NigeriaGodwin Omokenu EmujakporueThis research is based on the modelling of petrophysical parameters distribution of an onshore oil field in Niger Delta. The methodology involves the construction of 3-D grids that represent the reservoir geometry, accompany by property modeling where the 3-D grids were populated with petrophysical properties (porosity, water saturation, net to gross ratio, facies and permeability). The objective is to construct … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2017 · 14,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBurr-X Model Estimate using Bayesian and non-Bayesian ApproachesAbdullah Y. Al-HossainThe present paper is aimed at developing Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood estimations (ML) of the Burr type-X model of distribution when data are gathered from Type-II cumulative censoring with binomial eliminations. The procedures for getting the (ML) evaluations of the parameters are examined. The Bayes technique to get both point and interval estimators of the parameters are illustrated.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoles of Macroeconomic Variables on Agricultural Diversification in NigeriaSunday B. Akpan, Samuel J. Udoka, Inimfon V. PatrickThe study examined the trend in agricultural diversification index from 1960 to 2014 in Nigeria. It also determined the influence of some macroeconomic variables on the estimated index. Augmented Dickey-Fuller-GLS unit root test showed that all series were integrated of order one. The long-run and short-run elasticity of the agricultural diversification index with respect to the specified macro-economic variables were … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2015 · 7,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARATIVE STUDY OF DIFFERENT KALMAN FILTER IMPLEMENTATIONS IN POWER SYSTEM STABILITYH. H. Goh, C. W. Tai, Q. S. Chua et al.Voltage stability and voltage collapse issues have in recent years begun to constitute an unpleasant warning to the operational security of power systems. Many techniques have been investigated in order to predict the point of voltage collapse. However, there are still several restrictions due to the insufficiency of current system state information.
