Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing the Reliability of Fuzzy Inference System-Based Skin DetectorAlaa Y. Taqa, Hamid A. JalabProblem statement: Skin detection is a common primitive for many human-related image processing applications, such as video surveillance, naked image filters and face detection. Skin color is considered as a useful and discriminating spatial feature for many applications, but it is not robust enough to deal with complex image environments. Skin tones range from dark (some Africans) to light white … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Sugar Cane Extract, Commercial Probiotic and their Mixture on Growth Performance and Intestinal Histology in Broiler ChickensOraya Khambualai, Koh-en Yamauchi, Jassada Ruttanavut et al.Problem statement: As the intestinal function is intimately affected by fed diets, many kinds of natural substances and probiotics have been supplemented to broilers to raise poultry productivity due to activating intestinal function. Besides, the intestinal histology is clearly altered by intestinal functions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Sugar Cane Extract (SCE) and commercial probiotic (SPB), … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAre There Smaller Leverage Effects in Less-Developed Markets? Evidence from an Oil Exporting CountryMosayeb Phalavani, Parinaz EzzatiProblem statement: This study uses daily data from the Tehran Stock Market (TSM) to illustrate the nature of stock market volatility in an undeveloped and young stock market. Although most studies suggest that a negative shock to stock prices will generate more volatility than a positive shock of equal magnitude but there is no evidence of asymmetric effect in TSM. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,519 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards the Development of Speaker-Dependent and Speaker-Independent Hidden Markov Model-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Tone distortion in Thai languages can deteriorate not only the intelligibility of speech but also its naturalness. Therefore, the correctness of tone must be carefully taken into account in continuous speech synthesis. The preliminary work confronted this problem when applying HMM-based speech synthesis to Thai. Approach: This study presented a study on speaker-dependent and speaker-independent Hidden Markov Model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtility Independent Privacy Preserving Data Mining on Vertically Partitioned DataE. Poovammal, M. PonnavaikkoProblem statement: Driven by mutual benefits, or by regulations that require certain data to be published, there has been a demand for the exchange and publication of data among various parties. Data publishing has been ubiquitous in many domains such as medical, business and education. Detailed person-specific data, present in the centralized server or in the distributed environment, in its … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Reuse Potential of Chemical Sludge from Textile Wastewater Treatment Plants in India-A Hazardous WasteHema Patel, Suneel PandeyProblem statement: This study was conducted to explore the reuse potential of the chemical sludge (considered as hazardous waste as per Indian Government Hazardous Waste Management Rules) generated from combined effluent treatment in textile clusters. These textile clusters mainly cover the cotton dyeing and printing operations. Approach: Therefore, treatability studies of chemical sludge were conducted using solidification/stabilization treatment to examine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlantlet Production through Development of Competent Multiple Meristem Cultures from Male Inflorescence of Banana, Musa acuminta cv. 'Pisang Mas' (AA)S. Wirakarnain, A. B.M.S. Hossain, S. ChandranA protocol was developed for the establishment of competent multiple meristem cultures of banana, Musa acuminta cv. 'Pisang Mas' (AA) derived from male inflorescence. The white floral meristem appeared after 21 days in medium supplemented with 10 µM of N6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 1 µM Indole -3-Acetic Acid (IAA). White floral meristem were optimized in medium supplemented with 100 µM (BA) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransforming Spatio-Temporal Yield Maps to Classified Management Zone Maps for Efficient Management of Oil PalmAbdul Rahim Anuar, Kah Joh Goh, Tee Bee Heoh, Osumanu Haruna AhmedOne of the major challenges in oil palm plantations today is proper interpretation of yield maps for site-specific management and development of classified management zone maps for its efficient management. A study was conducted on an on-going fertilizer response trial in Sabah, Malaysia to examine the possibility of converting spatio-temporal yield maps of oil palm to classified management zone maps … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Temporal Yield Trend of Oil Palm as Influenced by Nitrogen Fertilizer ManagementAbdul Rahim Anuar, Kah Joh Goh, Tee Bee Heoh, Osumanu Haruna AhmedOne of the major challenges in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations today is proper interpretation of yield maps for site-specific management and identification and understanding of the causal factors influencing the variability of oil palm yields. A study was conducted to examine the structural yield variation in order to assess the spatial and temporal yield trends so as to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
