Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeature Extraction for Characterization of Breast Lesions in Ultrasound Echography and ElastographyShirley Selvan, M. Kavitha, S. Shenbagadevi, S. SureshProblem statement: Elastography is developed as a quantitative approach to imaging linear elastic properties of tissues to detect suspicious tumors. We propose an automatic feature extraction method in ultrasound elastography and echography for characterization of breast lesions. Approach: The proposed algorithm was tested on 40 pairs of biopsy proven ultrasound elastography and echography images of which 11 are cystic, 16 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,315 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer-Aided Design Data Extraction Approach to Identify Product InformationMohamad Faizal Ab. Jabal, Mohd. Shafry Mohd. Rahim, Nur Zuraifah Syazrah Othman, Daut DamanProblem statement: Many approaches have been proposed in previous such as AUTOFEAT algorithm, feature recognition, Intelligent Feature Recognition Methodology (IFRM), a part recognition algorithm and graph theory-based approach in order to solve the integration issue between CAD and CAM. However, there is no direct connection from CAD database and machine database. Therefore, comparison among the approaches has been conducted because … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,170 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemical, Petrographic and Magnetic Characteristics of Spinel Lherzolite Mantle Xenoliths from Jabal Remah Volcano, JordanAhmad Al-Malabeh, Tayel El-Hasan, Mahdi LataifehPeridotite ultramafic mantle xenoliths are occurring abundantly in the Harrat Al-Shaam basaltic province. Jabal Remah volcano is located in the Jordanian parts of the plateau and contains considerable amounts of mantle xenoliths within its pyroclastic successions. Mineralogical investigations show that the xenoliths are mostly of the spinel lherzolite type, which are characterized by a protogranular texture. Modally, the xenoliths are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Garbage Sorting MachineStephen Kwasi Adzimah, Simons AnthonyProblem statement: Domestic waste collection, sorting and disposal are major problems in many developing countries such as Ghana. It is an undeniable fact that the environment has been engulfed in filth. This filth comprises of the garbage and waste generated in homes, workplace and industrial setups. Most of this waste has found its way into the streets, gutters, in and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Adsorption of the Lead (II) by the Nonliving Biomass Spirogyra neglecta (Hasall) KutzingModher A. Hussain, Aishah Salleh, Pozi MilowProblem statement: Conventional techniques for removing dissolved heavy metals are only practical and cost-effective when applied to high strength wastes with heavy metal ion concentrations greater than 100 ppm. The possibility of using a nonliving algal biomass to solve this problem was carried in this study. Lead (II) was used in this study because it had been reported to cause … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExact Simulating of Human Arteries using Lumped Model and Probing Constriction in Femoral and Carotid ArteriesMohammad Reza Mirzaee, Omid Ghasemalizadeh, Bahar FiroozabadiProblem statement: Modeling Human cardiovascular system was always an important issue from long past because by doing such modeling, investigation in cardiovascular system and its abnormities would be simpler. One of the most effective ways to do such modeling is using lumped method (Electrical analogy). Approach: Lumped method was used for simulating a complete model in this approach. A 36-vessel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNematic and Smectic Mesophase from Calamitic Bisazobenzene Liquid Crystal: Synthesis and Characterization of 1- Methoxyhexyloxy-4'-(4-Phenylazo) Azobenzene Hybrid MoleculeSidik Silong, Abdulsalam Abubakar Salisu, Muhamad Zaki Ab Rahman et al.A new hybrid calamitic liquid crystal material with rod-shape bisazobenzene moieties as a core has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning colorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-Ray diffraction. The rod-shaped molecule 1- methoxyhexyloxy-4`-(4-phenylazo)azobenzene was prepared by diazotization of 4-phenylazoaniline, coupling with phenol and subsequent etherification of 1-Bromohexyloxy-4`-(4-phenylazo)azobenzene in methanol. The presence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals and Anion Levels in Some Samples of Vegetable Grown Within the Vicinity of Challawa Industrial Area, Kano State, NigeriaJ. C. Akan, F. I.A. Abdulrahman, V. O. Ogugbuaja, J. T. AyodeleProblem section: Effluents from the surrounding industries such as tannery and textile are used by vegetable farmers for the irrigation of their crops. These effluents may contain some toxic metals which bioaccumulate along the food chain. Moreover the uptake of such toxic metals by crops is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such crops may accumulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,270 accessesView PDFCite
