Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF A MACHINE VISION SYSTEM FOR WEED DETECTION DURING BOTH OF OFF-SEASON AND IN-SEASON IN BROADACRE NO-TILLAGE CROPPING LANDSHuajian Liu, Sang Heng Lee, Chris SaundersMore than half of the Australian cropping land is no-tillage and weed control within continuous no-tillage agricultural cropping area is becoming more and more difficult. A major problem is that the heavy herbicide usage causes some of more prolific weeds becoming more resistant to the regular herbicides and therefore more powerful and more expensive options are being pursued. To overcome … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 8,112 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Spatial Distribution of Apis Dorsata Host Plants Using an Integrated Geographical Information System-Remote Sensing ApproachIzzat F. Ibrahim, Siva K. Balasundram, Nur-Ashikin P. Abdullah et al.Apis dorsata is one of the important honeybee species in tropical and subtropical regions that forages on various plants including herbs, grasses, forest trees and plantation trees. However, information on the spatial distribution of various pollen sources of Apis dorsata is still lacking. This study aimed at mapping the spatial distribution of the major honeybee plants that serve as pollen … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Bidding Strategies for Generation Companies in a Day-Ahead Electricity Market with Risk Management Taken into AccountAzmi Saleh, Takao Tsuji, Tsutomu OyamaProblem statement: In a competitive electricity market with limited number of producers, Generation Companies (Gencos) is facing an oligopoly market rather than a perfect competition. Under oligopoly market environment, each Genco may increase its own profit through a favorable bidding strategy. The objective of a Genco is to maximize its profit and minimize the associated risk. In order to achieve … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderstanding Hybrid Additive Manufacturing of Functional DevicesSantosh Kumar Parupelli, Salil DesaiThe fabrication of electronic components in three-dimensional space is critical for building multifunctional devices. Traditional manufacturing approaches are limited to building planar device configurations. In order to address this limitation, our group has developed a novel hybrid additive manufacturing process that can deposit multi-material patterns on conformal substrates. This direct-write approach involves the combination of microextrusion, pico jet and laser … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2017 · 8,154 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVery High Resolution Optical Satellites: An Overview of the Most Commonly usedPasquale MaglioneVery High Resolution (VHR) satellite systems are platforms whose sensors acquire high geometric resolution images. Since 1972, when the first satellite was launched (Land sat ERTS), the spatial resolution of the satellite image has increased, making Ground Sample Distance (GSD) reaching 0.30 m at Nadir in panchromatic images. In this paper, after a brief introduction, concepts relative to orbits, types … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2016 · 9,059 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Tensile Property Analysis of Polymer Matrix Composites of Graphite and Silicon Carbide as FillersVikram G. Kamble, Naveen Kumar L.In a world there is ever-increasing demand for new materials, composite materials finds the topmost spot. Here in this work an attempt has been made to study the mechanical properties of Glass and Vinyl Ester composites with and without fillers. Laminates are prepared by Hand Layup technique with changing the volume percentage of Vinyl Ester and fillers in each. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 3 Dec 2015 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKnowledge of Chemical Hazards and Prevalence of Darkroom Diseases among Darkroom Technicians and Assistants in Southeast, NigeriaMark C. Okeji, Felicitas U. Idigo, AngelMary C. Anakwue, Uloma NwoguDarkroom technicians and assistants are exposed daily to x-ray processing chemicals. These chemicals contain known irritants which can cause some disease symptoms to its handlers. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of chemical hazards and prevalence of darkroom diseases among darkroom technicians and assistants in Southeast, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey. A total of 105 … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Nov 2015 · 8,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHide Dehairing and Laundry Detergent Compatibility Testing of Thermostable and Solvents Tolerant Alkaline Protease from Hot Spring Isolate Bacillus cohniiU3Pravin R. Dudhgara, Bhavsar Sunil, Ghelani AnjanaIn the present study, alkaline protease producing thermophilic Bacillus cohniiU3 strain was isolation from Unnai hot spring, India. The maximum production of protease (344 U/mL) was reported after 72 h of inoculation at 50°C in shake flask culture using the gelatin casein medium. The protease was found to remain active up to 96 h and production was growth dependent. The … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaser-Induced Breakdown and Detonation in Particle-Laden SystemsKonstantin VolkovSimulation of the interaction of a laser pulse with gas-droplet and gas-particle mixtures plays an important role in environmental and engineering applications. The injection of liquid droplets or metal particle causes optical breakdown on the individual droplet or particle and leads to a drop of the detonation minimum pulse energy of the mixture. Mathematical models of various stages of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2015 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF A PROXIMAL MACHINE VISION SYSTEM FOR OFF-SEASON WEED MAPPING IN BROADACRE NO-TILLAGE FALLOWSH. Liu, C. Saunders, S. H. LeeWeeds are among the most significant and costly environmental threats in Australian agriculture. Weeds compete with crop plants for moisture, nutrients and sunlight and can have a detrimental impact on crop yields and quality if uncontrolled. The distribution, size, density and species of the weeds are often heterogeneous in the cropping land. Instead of uniformly spray the same type of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2013 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
