Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractColor Image Reconstruction Using A New R'G'I ModelAkram A. Moustafa, Ziad A. AlqadiProblem statement: A new color model for digital image was discussed; this model can be used to separate low and high frequencies in the image without loosing any information from the image. Approach: A comparative study between different color models (RGB, HSI) applied to a very large microscopic image analysis and the proposed model was presented. Such analysis of different … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison the Proposed Probabilistic-Based Time-History and the Traditional PSHA ApproachA. NicknamThe main objective of this article is to demonstrate the ability of our technique in estimating the probabilistic-based time-history to be used in dynamic analysis of structures. The result of using our technique is compared with that of traditional approach proposed by Cornell (Cornell, 1968), in the form of response spectrum through a case study. Good agreement of the two … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Simulated Annealing For Optimal Operation of Multi-Reservoir SystemsF. Khodabakhshi, A. R. Ghirian, N. KhakzadThe need to optimize the operation of water reservoirs is an issue that is becoming increasingly a concern for water resources planners in developing countries. This issue particularly becomes more significant in large systems with multiple reservoirs where operation of one reservoir has an impact on the others. In other word, the set of reservoirs in these systems act like … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Combining Ability Analysis of Cassava Manihot esculenta Crantz Genotypes to Anthracnose DiseaseO. F. Owolade, A. G.O. Dixon, S. R. Akande, S. A. OlakojoCassava Anthracnose Disease (CAD) caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f sp. manihotis has been recognized as one of the major economic disease of cassava in all the cassava growing regions of Africa. Little information is available on the resistance of cassava to C. gloeosporioides f sp. manihotis. This study was conducted to determine the relative importance of general (GCA) and specific … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractActive Fire Monitoring with Level 1.5 MSG Satellite ImagesAbdelatif Hassini, Farid Benabdelouahed, Noureddine Benabadji, Ahmed Hafid BelbachirThe first of the new generation of Meteosat satellites, known as Meteosat Second Generation (MSG-1), was launched in August 2002. As with the current Meteosat series, MSG is spin-stabilized and capable of greatly enhanced Earth observations. The satellite’s 12-channel imager, known formally as the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI), observes the full disk of the Earth with an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBase Course Modification through Stabilization using Cement and BitumenS. M. Marandi, P. SafapourThe main objectives of this research was to analyze the use of combined cement and bitumen emulsion in base course stabilization in details and examine its replacement with conventional pavement in regions with low quality materials and limited construction period. To conduct the objectives, the research divided into three phases. Phase I involved the optimization of cement and bitumen emulsion. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Business Barriers in Iran's Free Trade ZonesMohammad Ali Sarlak, Asghar Abolhasani HastianiCurrently there are 24 free trade and special economic zones in Iran. Problem Statement: of these zones is lack of e-business and this is in spite of managements' desire to have proper infrastructure for e-business in these zones. The goal of this study is to determine and explain e-business barriers in free trade and special economic zones in Iran. Approach: … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPassive Transfer of HIV-1 Antibodies and Drug Resistant Virus during a Health Care Worker Accident: Implications for HCW Post-Exposure ManagementCarlos Fernando De Oliveira, Ricardo Sobhie Diaz, Abdallah Harmache et al.Problem statement: We studied in detail a case in which a nurse caring for an HIV-infected child suffered a deep-laceration accident with contaminated blood. Approach: The patient had been treated with zidovudine (ZDV) and the nurse became infected despite prophylactic use of ZDV initiated 2 h after the accident. A reactive anti-HIV-1/2 EIA and an indeterminate western blot (gp120/160 reactivity) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Both a Probabilistic Evolutionary Graph and the Evidence Theory for Color Scene AnalysisNassim Ammour, Abderrezak Guessoum, Daoud BerkaniIn this research, we introduce a new color images segmentation algorithm. The color scene analytic method is based on the progress of a probabilistic evolutionary graph. The strategy consists in making grow an evolutionary graph, which presents the scene elements in an unsupervised segmented image. The graph evolution development is based on the computation of the belonging probabilities to the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTaxonomic Significance of ISTR to Discriminate Species in AgavaceaeMartha Isabel Torres-Morán, Norma Almaraz-Abarca, Ana Paulina Velasco-Ramírez et al.Family Agavaceae is endemic of American Continent. From the around 300 species recognized in this family, 217 occur in Mexico. Relevant ethnobotanic relationships among Agavaceae and the several native human cultures of the American Continent have been established since prehispanic times. Agave is one of the most important genus in that family due to its great diversity and abundance, mainly … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,195 accessesView PDFCite
