Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInflation and Financial Development: EvidenceEmmanuel Nii AbbeyThe study examined the impact of inflation on financial development in Ghana using quarterly time series data (1990-2008). It was in line with the empirical works that provided support for the proposition that inflation affects financial development negatively. While price stability has been emphasized in the literature to be the best antidote in addressing the problem, recent evidence of disagreements … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2013 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdaptive Tchebichef Moment Transform Image Compression using Psychovisual ModelFerda Ernawan, Nur Azman Abu, Nanna SuryanaAn extension of the standard JPEG image compression known as JPEG-3 allows rescaling of the quantization matrix to achieve a certain image output quality. Recently, Tchebichef Moment Transform (TMT) has been introduced in the field of image compression. TMT has been shown to perform better than the standard JPEG image compression. This study presents an adaptive TMT image compression. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 1 Jun 2013 · 7,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnticonvulsant Effect of Pitavastatin in Mice Induced by PentylenetetrazoleKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been unequivocally shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by their lipid-lowering actions. It has been suggested that statins appear to have therapeutic benefits in diseases that are unrelated to elevated serum cholesterol levels. The aim of this study was to evaluation the effect of intraperitoneally injection of different doses of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Phenylbutazone on Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Seizure in MiceKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The Cyclooxygenases (COXs), the key enzymes that convert arachidonic acid to Prostaglandins (PGs), had been implicated in physiological and pathophysiological functions in the CNS. Non-Stesoidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), COX inhibitors, were used largely to treat febrile condition, pain state and for prevention of and therapeutics of many diseases. However the role of PGs and NSAIDs in the seizure … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2011 · 7,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAutomatic Boundary Detection of Wall Motion in Two-dimensional Echocardiography ImagesFaten Abed Ali Dawood, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.Problem statement: Medical image analysis is a particularly difficult problem because the inherent characteristics of these images, including low contrast, speckle noise, signal dropouts and complex anatomical structures. An accurate analysis of wall motion in Two-dimensional echocardiography images is “important clinical diagnosis parameter for many cardiovascular diseases”. A challenge most researchers faced is how to speed up the clinical decisions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 8,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMolecular Dynamics Investigation of Cutting Force in Nanometric Cutting of Monocrystalline SiliconY.H. Chen, F.Z. Fang, X.D. Zhang, X.T. HuProblem statement: Ultra-precision machining of monocrystalline silicon has become tremendously important in microelectronic, micromechanical and optical element manufacturing and the mechanism of nanometric cutting monocrystalline silicon has been a focused research topic. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation is developed as an effective way for studying the material removal process at nanometric scale. Approach: Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation of nanometric cutting is … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2011 · 8,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTopology Control Using Efficient Power ManagementS. Karunakaran, P. ThangarajProblem statement: Effective Topology control will improve the performance and the capacity of Mobile Ad-hoc networks by building reliable network structure. Approach: Power level is used as the basis for topology control since it reduces spatial interference while increasing the effective channel capacity and network lifetime. Results: In this study, we design a topology control using efficient power management algorithm … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 6,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComputer Aided Diagnosis System for Stone Detection and Early Detection of Kidney StonesMs. P.R. Tamilselvi, Dr. P. ThangarajProblem statement: Most of the previous study in diagnosis of kidney stone identifies a mere presence or absence of the stones in the kidney. However proposal in our study even present an early detection of kidney stones which helps to change the diet conditions and prevent the formation of stones. Approach: The study presented a scheme for ultrasound kidney image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 8,848 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWeed Detection over Between-Row of Sugarcane Fields Using Machine Vision with Shadow Robustness Technique for Variable Rate Herbicide ApplicatorA. Muangkasem, S. Thainimit, R. Keinprasit, T. IsshikiProblem statement: Uniformly herbicide rate is used as a conventional practice in Thailand for controlling weeds in sugarcane fields. Since weeds usually grow in certain areas with non-uniformly distribution, uniform herbicide rate approach is not suitable and non-sustainable agricultural technique both in terms of economic an environmental aspect. To address these issues, Variable Herbicide Rate (VHR) was introduced. The VHR … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimating Snow Budget of Karaj Dam ReservoirManijeh Ghahroudi Tali, Bohloul Alijani, Reza SarvatiProblem statement: Most of the cold period precipitation of Karaj Basin falls in the form of snow. This snow and its run off are important to the dam and the local needs such as agriculture and the drinking water of Tehran. But due to the scarcity and in some elevations the lack of weather stations, measuring this snow cover and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite
