Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Image Dithering Via Tchebichef Moment TransformNur Azman Abu, Ferda Ernawan, Nanna SuryanaMany image display applications and printing devices allow only limited number of colours. They have limited computational power and storage to produce high quality outputs on high bit-depth colour image. A dithering technique is called for here in order to improve the perceptual visual quality of the limited bit-depth images. A dithered image is represented by a natural colour in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 11 Jun 2013 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling Knowledge Summarization by Evolving Fuzzy GrammarNurfadhlina Mohd Sharef, Alfian Abdul Halin, Norwati MustaphaSummarized text is a simplified and condensed version of the original text containing highlighted information to help the audience get the gist in a short period of time. Typically, text summarization produces abstract or a paragraph-like outputs by omitting details and irrelevant information. However, the text summary can also be produced in a visualized form, such as a chart, graph … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 10 Jun 2013 · 6,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneralization of Dijkstra’s Algorithm for Extraction of Shortest Paths in Directed MultigraphsBashir Alam, Siddhartha Sankar Biswas, M. N. DojaThe classical Dijkstra’s algorithm to find the shortest path in graphs is not applicable to multigraphs. In this study the authors generalize the classical Dijkstra’s algorithm to make it applicable to directed multigraphs. The modified algorithm is called by Generalized Dijkstra’s algorithm or GD Algorithm (GDA in short). The GDA outputs the shortest paths and the corresponding min cost. It … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2013 · 7,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVideo Coding Technique Using 3D Dualtree Discrete Wavelet Transform with Multi Objective Particle Swarm Optimization ApproachesThamarai Muthusamy, Shanmugalakshmi RamachandranWavelet-based image compression with Wavelet transform based motion compensated video codec performs better compression to meet the rate and distortion constraints in video transmission with the available bandwidth than the block based techniques. However, it is well known that the 2D DWT does not represent directional features of images efficiently. Lots of efforts have been contributed to multiscale directional representation. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 20 Feb 2013 · 6,595 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring the Operating Efficiency of Solar Cell Companies in Taiwan with Data Envelopment AnalysisJui-Min HsiaoThis study discusses the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach to measure the operating efficiency of solar cell companies. With active and constructive advancement of the government, competition in the solar cell industry became even tenser. When drawing up the competitive strategies, one firm should identify the key indicators of its operating efficiency. This study incorporates three inputs (the number of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 7 Nov 2012 · 6,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Square Substrate Integrated Waveguide Cavity Resonators: Compensation of Modelling Errors by Support Vector Regression MachinesGiovanni AngiulliThe design of Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) resonators is usually a cumbersome process, especially due to the length &#34trial and error&#34 procedure involved in this task. In this study Support Vector Regression Machines (SVRMs) are employed to compensate the modeling errors associated to the design of SIW rectangular cavity resonators. To validate the proposed approach, we have compared the design … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 5 Sep 2012 · 6,695 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLearning from Lessons Learned: Project Management Research ProgramKam JugdevProblem statement: When we fail to learn from our own mistakes or those of others, we tend to repeat the mistakes. This study discusses lessons learned as important ways of gathering and sharing both formal and informal project knowledge. Approach: The study presents findings of three studies from a research program on lessons learned. The first study is a content … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2012 · 13,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Life Cycle Assessment and Other Tools for Ex Ante Integrated Sustainability Assessment in the Minerals IndustryDeborah J Shields, Gian Andrea Blengini, Slavko V. SolarProblem statement: The minerals industry is faced with choices beginning in the exploration phase and extending over the life cycle of mine. Firms examine the technical feasibility of alternative actions and typically rank them based on economic performance. Increasingly firms also consider alternatives' contribution to sustainable development. Approach: Sustainable decision making before investment (ex ante decisions) should incorporate a broad … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
