Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFish Classification Based on Robust Features Extraction From Color Signature Using Back-Propagation ClassifierMutasem Khalil Alsmadi, Khairuddin Bin Omar, Shahrul Azman Mohd NoahProblem statement: Image recognition was a challenging problem researchers had been research into this area for so long especially in the recent years, due to distortion, noise, segmentation errors, overlap and occlusion of objects in digital images. In our study, there are many fields concern with pattern recognition, for example, fingerprint verification, face recognition, iris discrimination, chromosome shape discrimination, optical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2010 · 8,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Sense of Progression and Cognitive Distance on Path Choice and Walking Behavior While Aiming To Reach DestinationMohammad Paydar, Samira RamezaniProblem statement: Studies focused on walking behavior have indicated the relationship of different factors of built environment with walking to reach destination and walking for recreation. Furthermore, according to literature on path choice behavior, there is a relationship between walking behavior and path choice of pedestrians. Empirical studies on path choice behavior have also shown that the effects of different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Geotechnical Properties of Penang Residual Soils with Emphasis on LandslidesFauziah Ahmad, Ahmad Shukri Yahaya, Mohd Ahmadullah FarooqiThe predominantly hilly terrain of Penang Island combined with average maximum daily temperatures ranging between 27-35°C and peak rainfall as high as 647 cm makes the overall area potentially susceptible to landslips. Over the recent past construction industry has shown a rapid growth mainly due to increase in the inflow of international tourists and other economic reasons. Eventually, the magnitude … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of an Assisting Device for Training "Normal-Like" Sit To Stand MovementPierluigi Rea, Erika Ottaviano, Gianni CastelliThis paper presents a performance evaluation and results on the modelling and simulation of an assisting device to be used as aiding or guiding system for people with reduced mobility. There is a high level of motivation for elderly to perform independently basic Activities of Daily Life (ADL). Therefore, it is of great interest to design and implement reliable assisting … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2017 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractState of the Art Technologies for Exoskeleton Human Lower Extremity Rehabilitation RobotsSk. Khairul Hasan, Anoop Kumar DhingraThe World Health Organization reports that about 1 billion people worldwide have some form of disability. Of these, 110-190 million people have significant difficulties in functioning. Providing rehabilitation services to a large number of disabled people with limited resources is quite challenging. Robot-based neurorehabilitation is an appealing solution for providing rehabilitation services without the downside of provider fatigue. Despite the … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Sep 2020 · 11,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMesh Simplification by Curvature-Enhanced Quadratic Error MetricsPaolo Pellizzoni, Gianpaolo SavioPolygonal meshes have a significant role in computer graphics, design and manufacturing technology for surface representation and it is often required to reduce their complexity to save memory. An efficient algorithm for detail retaining mesh simplification is proposed; in particular, the method presented is an iterative edge contraction algorithm based on the work of Garland and Heckberts. The original algorithm … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 7 Sep 2020 · 8,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a Multi Stage Method to Assess the Landscape Alteration Induced by Quarrying Sites: A Comparative AnalysisDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Marco De Agostini, Mario PinzariThe aim of this study is to provide a design tool to forecast the effects that extraction methods and reclamation plans will generate on the land surrounding quarry sites. The method is based on a graphical approach and it consists of three consecutive phases. The first phase focuses on the quarry plant and aims to quantify the extent of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 2 Sep 2016 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerceptions of Care, Socio-Demographic Characteristics and Health Care Utilisation among Health Insurance users in GhanaSeth Christopher Yaw AppiahThe socio-demographic characteristics of clients and their perception of quality of care play a major part in people’s decision making process especially in service utilization. This study assesses the relationship between clients’ socio-economic features as well as their perceived quality on health care utilization. The study adopted a non-experimental cross sectional design in eliciting information from health clients who accessed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2015 · 7,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSliding Mode Observer-Based Fault Reconstruction for Uncertain Linear SystemsSlim Dhahri, Faycal Ben Hmida, Anis SellamiProblem statement: Fault reconstruction scheme is different from the majority of Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) methods described in the literature in the sense that it not only detects and isolates the fault, but provides an estimate of the fault. This approach is very useful for incipient faults and slow drifts, which are very difficult to detect. Also, this approach … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 8 Sep 2011 · 7,354 accessesView PDFCite
