Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThroughput-Delay Trade-Off for Slotted Aloha Multiple Access with Capture EffectA. Chehri, P. Fortier, P. M. TardifProblem statement: Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols are one of most important research issues in communication and networking. There have been proposed several MAC protocols in wireless as well in wired networks. Approach: ALOHA-based protocol is the simplest one, being able to provide prompt access, reliable channels and support for quality of service. However its limited capacity, low throughput and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEdge Detection in Gray Level Images based on the Shannon EntropyBaljit Singh, Amar P. SinghMost of the classical mathematical methods for edge detection based on the derivative of the pixels of the original image are Gradient operators, Laplacian and Laplacian of Gaussian operators. Gradient based edge detection methods, such as Roberts, Sobel and Prewitts, have used two 2-D linear filters to process vertical edges and horizontal edges separately to approximate first-order derivative of pixel … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTurbo-coding of Coherence Multiplexed Optical PPM CDMA System With Balanced DetectionK. Chitra, V.C. RavichandranThe effects of turbo-coding on the coherence multiplexed optical PPM CDMA systems are shown by evaluating bit error rate (BER) with respect to system parameters such as interleaver length (K), number of simultaneous users (N), code length (f), initial pulsewidth (t0) and normalized threshold (θ) by including the effects of thermal noise and shot noise. Turbo-codes increase the number of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractColored Image Compression Using Gradient Adjustment Prediction Based WaveletMuna Faik Hanoon Al-SammraieProblem statement: Uncompressed graphics, audio and video data require considerable storage capacity and transmission bandwidth. Despite rapid progress in mass-storage density, processor speeds and digital communication system performance, demand for data storage capacity and data transmission bandwidth continues to outstrip the capabilities of available technologies. The recent growth of data intensive digital audio, image and video (multimedia) based web applications, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,312 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Bedding Application in Feedlot Cattle: A ReviewDathan Thomas Smerchek, Zachary Kidd Foster SmithA sizable portion of cattle on feed in the United States are fed in the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains region where temperatures routinely fall below freezing during late fall, winter and early spring. The persistent cold temperatures coupled with snow accumulation, wind, moisture and ice can cause undesirable pen conditions for confined cattle, ultimately resulting in decreased insulative capacity … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2021 · 6,721 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimizing Transmission Time under Required System Capacity Constraint in Stochastic-Flow NetworksMoatamad Refaat HassanIn the case of an existing limited capacity of the system called required system capacity, in this study a new method is presented to determine the disjoint paths to send data from the source to the sink. System reliability is evaluated as the probability that a specified amount of data can be transmitted from a source to a sink through … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 5 May 2018 · 7,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocal Features Supported by the Complement Feature for Image SegmentationSalah AmeerAn Eigen formulation is proposed for image thresholding/segmentation. A vector composed of local features, normalized intensity of each pixel and that of the neighboring pixels, is used to represent each pixel. A “complement” component is appended to this vector to produce a “unit” vector. The auto-correlation matrix is computed for each pixel in the image using this unit vector. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 7 Jul 2020 · 6,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInputs of Numerical Simulation into the Development of Shock Adhesion Tests on Advanced MaterialsMichel ArrigoniAdvanced materials- such as assemblies, composites and materials obtained by additive methods - have met a great success in the industry of advanced technologies. They allow combining a variety of different materials and following sophisticated geometries. However, their mechanical behavior, bulk as well as in assembly, remains to be better understood to assess their reliability. For this reason, laser induced … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2020 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistogram Matching Schemes for Image ThresholdingSalah AmeerThis paper proposes several novel schemes for image thresholding. The idea is simply to compare the original image histogram to that of the thresholded image. Element by element comparison (sum of absolute difference between the two histograms) is found to be of better performance than a single feature (area or size) comparison. The optimum threshold is the one producing the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2019 · 7,877 accessesView PDFCite
