Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocal Climate Trends and Farmers’ Perceptions in Southern Tigray, Northern EthiopiaM. G. Abrha, S. SimhadriThis study aimed to investigate changes in local climate, farmers’ perception to the change and factors affecting perception of farmers to climate change. For trend analysis, we gathered station based rainfall records for the period 1978-2012, while for perception analysis survey was carried out. 600 farming households were randomly selected from four districts using a multi-stage sampling method. Nonparametric analysis … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Oct 2015 · 7,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Representation to Support Visual Impaired PeopleAbbas Mohamad Ali, Shareef Maulod ShareefThe rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enhances the government services to its citizen. As a consequence affects the exchange of information between citizen and government. However, some groups can experience some difficulties accessing the government services due to disabilities, such as blind people as well as material and geographical constraints. This paper aims to introduce a novel … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Apr 2015 · 6,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW APPROACH OF LOCAL FEATURE DESCRIPTORS USING MOMENT INVARIANTSLee-Yeng Ong, Siong-Hoe Lau, Voon-Chet KooMoment invariants have been widely introduced in recognizing planar objects for a few decades. This is due the robustness of moment function in distinguishing the original identity of object under various two Dimensional (2D) transformations. A set of moments computed from a planar images, represents the global description of an object's shape and geometrical features of an image. Since global … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Dec 2014 · 7,954 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANTIOPHIDIAN ACTIVITY OF BROSIMUM GUIANENSE (AUBL) HUBERJose Adolfo Homobono Machado Bittencourt, Nayana Keyla Seabra de Oliveira, Maxwell Santos Cabral et al.Snakebites envenomations are a problem public health in worldwide due to the high rates of morbidity and mortality. The Bothrops venom causes local tissue damage and inflammation is one of the most important events that occur. At present, effective treatment for snakebites is serum therapy with antivenom, which neutralizes systemic alterations but does not prevent local damage that can cause … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 May 2014 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACTIVITY USING THE SYSTEM OF INDICATORSElena I. Danilina, Dmitry V. GorelovThe assessment of the local government performance, as any other serious work, is improved and undergone major changes every year. The objective of this article-is the research of the methodological aspects of forming the system of indicators, which reflect the local government performance. The difficulties with which the constituent entities of the Russian Federation face while making assessment according to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 13 May 2014 · 6,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFINGER KNUCKLE-PRINT IDENTIFICATION BASED ON LOCAL AND GLOBAL FEATURE EXTRACTION USING SDOSTN. B. Mahesh Kumar, K. PremalathaFinger knuckle-print biometric system has widely used in modern e-world. The region of interest is needed as the key for the feature extraction in a good biometric system. The symmetric discrete orthonormal stockwell transform provides the computational efficiency and multi-scale information of wavelet transforms, while providing texture features in terms of Fourier frequencies. It outperforms leading wavelet-based texture analysis methods. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 3 Apr 2014 · 6,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Different Query Expansion Techniques for Arabic Text Retrieval SystemAysh Alhroob, Hayel Khafajeh, Nisreen InnabThe word mismatch problem is fundamental to Information retrieval. Query expansion process helps to overcome this problem. Based on the Arabic corpuses, the comparisons between two query expansion techniques (global and local query) have been conducted to determine the query effectiveness. First one represents the local context analysis which represents a local method, while a global method was the second … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 6,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized Local Ternary Patterns: A New Texture Model with Set of Optimal Patterns for Texture AnalysisG. Madasamy Raja, V. SadasivamTexture analysis is one of the important as well as useful tasks in image processing applications. Many texture models have been developed over the past few years and Local Binary Patterns (LBP) is one of the simple and efficient approach among them. A number of extensions to the LBP method have been also presented but the problem remains challenging in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2013 · 6,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Memetic Algorithm for VLSI Circuit Partitioning Problem using Graphical Processing UnitsP. Subbaraj, P. SivakumarProblem statement: Memetic Algorithm (MA) is a form of population-based hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) coupled with an individual learning procedure capable of performing local refinements. Here we used genetic algorithm to explore the search space and simulated annealing as a local search method to exploit the information in the search region for the optimization of VLSI netlist bi-Partitioning problem. However, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 27 Feb 2012 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNative Understanding of Participation and Empowerment in Community DevelopmentN. Lyndon, R. Moorthy, A. C. Er, S. SelvaduraiProblem statement: The need for local community is often neglected at macro policy level and it is crucial to engage the native world view. The native view will provide adequate information of the needs and aspirations of the community. The aim of this study is to examine the native understanding of participation and empowerment in community development from the world … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 24 Oct 2011 · 7,575 accessesView PDFCite
