Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Simple Yet Effective Strategies for Avoiding Over-Smoothing in SFS ProblemMonica Carfagni, Rocco Furferi, Lapo Governi et al.Minimization techniques are widely used for retrieving a 3D surface starting from a single shaded image i.e., for solving the shape from shading problem. Such techniques are based on the assumption that expected surface to be retrieved coincides with the one that minimize a properly developed functional, consisting of several contributions. Among the possible contributes defining the functional, the so … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 20 Apr 2016 · 8,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Pesticide Residue in Dams and Well Water in Jazan Area, Saudi ArabiaHasan Y. Al-Hatim, Deifalla Alrajhi, Abdul Jabbar Al-RajabThe application of pesticides indoors and on agricultural lands increased dramatically in recent years in the Jazan area (Saudi Arabia) to control termites and the vectors of diseases, such as Rift Valley Fever (RVF) and malaria. This practice increased the potential risk of pesticide contamination of surface water and groundwater. In this study, samples of 44 wells and 3 dams … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 3 Nov 2015 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCredibility of 3D Volume Computation Using GIS for Pit Excavation and Roadway ConstructionsRagab KhalilVolume estimation and earthworks calculation of borrow pits and roadway constructions are typical applications in civil Engineering. Although several methods for volume estimation were introduced, the average end area method still the common method used by owners and contractors. Average end area method is tedious and time consuming. Volume of terrains that do not have regular geometric structure can be … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 1 Sep 2015 · 8,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASYNCHRONOUS TIME ENCODER BASED QUASI-STATIC MODELLING FOR HUMAN AREA NETWORK IN VANETR. Vimal Karthick, G. S. Raj, R. Srinivasan et al.Power constraints play a key role in designing Human Area Networks (HANs) for bio authentication vehicle based on driver's identity. To alleviate the power constraints, we advocate a design that uses an asynchronous time encoding mechanisms for representing bio authentication information and the skin surface as the communication channel. Time encoding does not require a clock while allows perfect signal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 20 Dec 2014 · 8,060 accessesView PDFCite

Cardiovascular diseases such … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2014 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINCREASING ADSORPTION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL FOR ADSORB H2S FROM BIOGAS PRODUCTION BY IMPREGNATIONWasan Phooratsamee, Kanokorn Hussaro, Sombat Teekasap, Jongjit HirunlabhBiogas is the combustible gas produced through a biological process, known as anaerobic digestion which is the process operated at low-temperature and without air. Biogas consists of 55-80% CH4, 20-45% CO2 with trace amount of H2S and other impurities. Common H2S removal technologies from biogas fall into one of adsorption on a solid such as iron oxide based materials, activated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 16 Aug 2014 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSMENT OF MIXED MINERALS BY OBSERVING INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL ALTERATIONS IN PIGLETSChamroon Maneewan, Apichai Mekbungwan, Koh-En Yamauchi, Keisuke EdashigeThe experiment was conducted to assess the effect of dietary Mixed Minerals (MM) on intestinal epithelial cell morphology, villus height and area and growth performance in piglets. Thirty two-month-old hybrid piglets (15 kg BW) (Large White × Landrace × Duroc), consisting of 15 castrated males and 15 females, were allocated into three experimental groups with five replicates of one castrated … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2014 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREPARATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION WITH Na2CO3 AND ZnCl2 AS IMPRENATED AGENTS FOR H2S ADSORPTIONKanokorn HussaroHydrogen Sulfide (H2S, rotten-egg) is one of the major environmental pollutants having its sources in natural and anthropogenic activities. It’s had smell gas produced by anaerobic digestion in acid condition from organic and inorganic compounds containing sulphur, presents dual problems of its toxicity and foul ordour. One of methods of its removal is adsorption. Activated carbon is a widely used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jun 2014 · 8,480 accessesView PDFCite
