Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Digital Images Through Cuckoo Search Algorithm in Combination with Morphological OperationK. Ratna Babu, K. V.N. SunithaThis study presents an image enhancement approach to Cuckoo Search Algorithmin with Morphological Operation. At the present time, in many image processing applications digital images are developed. Machine vision, computer interfaces, manufacturing, compression for storage and more are some of the fields of image processing application. Before using it in any applications the image has to be managed, such processing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 10 Sep 2014 · 7,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObservation Modeling for Continuous Predicting Global and Diffuse Solar Radiation on Horizontal SurfaceSomporn Hongkong, Singthong PattanasethanonMathematical modeling for continuous prediction of solar energy is inevitable for energy systems. General, existing models are mostly empirical and data dependent. This article has to present a variable model for predicting global and diffuse solar radiation on the horizontal plane. The model considered in this study has applied Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with two observations. The databases were measured … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 23 May 2013 · 6,797 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 abstractBuddhist Philosophy: A Study of Buddha Images for Perpetuating Buddhism in Isan SocietyThidarat Duangsin, Songkoon Chantachon, Khosit PaengsoiProblem statement: Buddha image is a symbol which built for representing the Buddha. At present, the majority of people always misinterpret and misevaluate the real value of Buddha image. As a matter of fact, Buddha image enhances social solidarity and social networks of Northeast-Thai people. Appreciating value of Buddha image is necessary for next generation so a study of Buddhist … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Feb 2011 · 8,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForest Policy Impact Assessment in the Ouachita National Forest and the Valuation of Conserving Red-Cockaded WoodpeckersDifei Zhang, Michael M. Huebschmann, Thomas B. Lynch, James M. GuldinProblem statement: The Ouachita National Forest received approval in 1996 for an amendment to its Forest Plan that would allocate 10% of the Forest to long-rotation silviculture. The purpose of the new management area is to restore pre-European settlement forest conditions and recreate habitat for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. Approach: This study explored the effects of restoring an ecosystem, from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
