Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSkin Images SegmentationAli El-ZaartProblem statement: Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many applications of image processing. Skin cancer has been the most common of all new cancers detected each year. At early stage detection of skin cancer, simple and economic treatment can cure it mostly. An accurate segmentation of skin images can help the diagnosis to define well the region of the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Jul 2010 · 7,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe So-Called Moderate Justices on the Rehnquist Court: The Role of Stare Decisis in Salient and Closely-Divided CasesPaul Douglas FooteProblem statement: A major question that has puzzled political scientists is what factors influence the decisions of US Supreme Court justices. Despite 20th Century statutory reforms that have led to a fundamental weakening of institutional cohesion on the Supreme Court, the norm of stare decisis continues to serve as a constraint to moderate decision-makers under certain external conditions. Evaluate voting … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPullout Characterizations of Various Steel Fibers Embedded in Very High-Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Toney Cummins, Brian ZornigProblem statement: There is a real need for a fundamental understanding of bond and bond mechanisms in the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) materials. The interfacial steel fiber/VHSC matrix bond tests are needed to characterize VHSC and to aid in the development of analytical models that describe bond behavior of this new material. Approach: This research investigated bond-slip characteristics of four … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Leaf Total Nitrogen Content for Nitrogen Management in a Malaysian Paddy Field by Using Soil Plant Analysis Development Chlorophyll MeterA. Gholizadeh, M. S. M. Amin, A. R. Anuar, W. AimrunProblem statement: Laboratory plant testing is usually time-consuming and high-costing. Hence, plant nutrient variability must be measured rapidly and the information made known to the farmers before the new season starts. Site-specific crop management, well-established in some developed countries, is now being considered in other places such as Malaysia. Approach: The application of site-specific management principles and techniques to diverse … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Groundwater Resources of the Morainic Amphitheatre: A Case Study in PiedmontMassimo Vincenzo Civita, Marina De Maio, Adriano FiorucciProblem statement: The risk of groundwater pollution and preservation of groundwater quality of these resources are extremely important topics, particularly at the present time in which water is becoming a limitative factor for land development. In this context the main objective of this study was the evaluation of the pollution vulnerability of groundwater in the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre (IMA), situated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeometric Optimization of Three-Phalanx Prosthesis Underactuated Fingers using Particles Swarm AlgorithmSomar M. Nacy, Shaker S. Hassan, Sadeq Hussein BakhyProblem statement: One are now interested to investigate the optimum design procedure for a finger driving mechanism to have a good configuration of the finger for its utilization in hand prosthesis. A Geometric Optimization of Three-Phalanx Prosthesis Underactuated Fingers (TPPUF) based on a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was presented. Approach: Firstly, a numerical evaluation of the human-like motion was obtained … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Application of Electrochemical Impedance Techniques in Analyzing the AC Response of Some Two-electron Transfer Dye SystemsFarouk RashwanThe Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic techniques (EIS) were used to investigate the behavior of some dye compounds (quinoid systems) characterized with 2e-transfer processes. For this purpose, Alizarin Red S (ARS), Alizarin Cyanine (AC), Alizarin Viridin (AV) and carminic acid were chosen for the measurements. The EIS experiments were performed using a small AC amplitude (10 mV p-p) in addition to a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Model for Resolving Flow Parameters for MRI-Neuroimaging ApplicationMoses E. Emetere, M.L. AkinyemiThe functionality of recent neuroimaging using the MRI machine has generated errors which are peculiar to all kinds of MRI processes. Though hardwares are used to complement the MRI process, the problems are not completely solved due to its fundamental errors. The fundamental error is in the exclusion of molecular interaction in the ab-initio Bloch NMR. A new mathematical concept … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 29 Sep 2015 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLatent Dirichlet Allocation Model for Raga Identification of Carnatic MusicRajeswari Sridhar, Manasa Subramanian, B. M. Lavanya et al.Problem statement: In this study the Raga of South Indian Carnatic music is determined by constructing a model. Raga is a pre-determined arrangement of notes, which is characterized by an Arohana and Avarohana, which is the ascending and descending arrangement of notes and Raga lakshana. Approach: In this study a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model is constructed to identify the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 30 Aug 2011 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
