Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Optical Constants of Selenium Thin Films using the Envelope MethodNehad M. Tashtoush, Osamah ALkasassbehTwo Selenium thin films were deposited on glass substrates using thermal evaporation technique. The optical constants (refractive index, absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient and energy gap) were calculated using the Transmittance (T) spectrums of the films in the spectral range of 500-900 nm. The envelope method was used to determine optical constants. The calculated refractive index was found to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Feb 2013 · 6,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWavelet Transform Based Automatic Lesion Detection in Cervix Images Using Active ContourP. S. Rama Praba, H. RanganathanColposcopy is a medical diagnostic procedure to examine an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix by a colposcope. Most cases of cervical cancer can be prevented through screening programs aimed at detecting precancerous lesions. Colposcopy cervical images are acquired in raw form which contains major cervix lesions, regions outside the cervix and parts of the imaging devices such as speculum. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2013 · 7,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrying Characteristics of the Borneo Canarium odontophyllum (Dabai) FruitDayang Fredalina Basri, Ahmad Fudholi, Mohd Hafidz RuslanThe quality and shelf-life of an underutilized fruits are compromised by the conventional method of drying. We therefore proposed using hot-air chamber to develop the drying curves of Canarium odontophyllum (dabai) fruit. Present study provides evidence of the best mathematical model to demonstrate the drying characteristics of this indigenous fruit and thus, may generate or add to the existing database. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 5 Sep 2012 · 8,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelevance Ranking for Services RetrievalHassania Ouchetto, Ouail Ouchetto, Ounsa RoudiesProblem statement: One of the challenges of e-gov systems is to provide, during a search process, relevant services that meet user expectations. Indeed, obtaining relevant information responding to user queries is a difficult process. It becomes even complex when the query terms have many meanings and do not fit with the vocabulary used by the services. Approach: We propose an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 27 Aug 2012 · 6,699 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Priority Oriented Scheduling Method to Increase the Reliability of Manufacturing SystemsSeyedehfarzaneh Nojabaei, Z. Leman, S. H. Tang, S. SulaimanScheduling occurs in every organization without considering the nature of its activities. In this regard, numerous scholars have attempted to schedule via divergent methods including classical scheduling, genetic algorithm, neural network and fuzzy logic and so on. Studies in manufacturing scheduling mostly deal with priority rules without any consideration of the system states. An appropriate scheduling leads to significant enhancement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 31 Jul 2012 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Optimum of the Audit SampleGeorgeta Ancuta Span, Irimie Emil PopaProblem statement: The primary objective of any audit mission is to obtain a high level of assurance on the fact that financial statements are prepared in accordance with a general financial reporting framework. Getting an absolute level of assurance is not possible due to the complexity and big number of transactions and operations found in practice. This research aims to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 2 Jul 2012 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
