Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Multi-Centroid Moment Invariants in Thermal-Based Face Identification SystemKhairul Hamimah Abas, Osamu OnoProblem statement: Current paramount methods and approaches in face identification field rely on facial characteristics; such as location of eyes, length of nose and mouth, regardless the type of medium used to acquire the facial images. The visibility of these facial characteristics varies significantly with environmental factors (e.g., lighting elements). Various researches have been devoted to develop methodologies for addressing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power Filter AlgorithmsMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuThe usage of parallel converters is ever increasing. However, the voltage and current harmonics, zero-sequence and negative- sequence components of voltage and current and reactive power present in parallel converters give an alarming signal to power system and power electronic engineers. This research discusses performance of three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) system using three different control techniques namely synchronous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Dark Current Reduction in Quantum Well 9 µm GaAs/AlGaAs Infrared Photodetectors with Improved DetectivityShahram Mohammad Nejad, Saeed Olyaee, Maryam PourmahyabadiIn this research, an optimization approach is presented to decrease the dark current in GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs. The dark current noise is reduced by increasing Al density in barriers, decreasing detector dimensions and increasing the periodic length of the structure. In addition, increasing the number of periods can reduce both the dark current and responsivity. Therefore, devices can be optimally designed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputation of a Single-phase Shell-Type Transformer Windings Forces Caused by Inrush and Short-circuit CurrentsM. B.B. Sharifian, R. Esmaeilzadeh, M. Farrokhifar et al.This research studies the forces on the windings of transformer due to inrush current. These forces are compared with the corresponding forces due to short-circuit of the windings. Two-dimensional finite element computation of a single-phase shell-type transformer is carried out based on the maximum permissible inrush current value where its amplitude is the same as the rated short-circuit current. To … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,429 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV Medication Adherence and Substance Use: The Smartest Women’s ProjectEliot Lopez, Deborah L. Jones, Mary Ishii et al.Antiretroviral (ARV) medication for substance users has been a controversial issue with respect to whether current substance users can successfully maintain their medication regimens. This study compared ARV adherence across current substance users, former substance users and those with no history or current use and the relative impact of a medication adherence intervention on all three groups. Of the 481 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneral Approach for Formulating a Digital Transformation StrategyZineb Korachi, Bouchaib BounabatTo take advantage of information technologies, organizations need to define a clear strategy. Numerous works have provided definitions and phases of digital strategies. Some of these strategies are context-specific, while others deal with the common elements of digital strategies regardless of the digital transformation context. However, these works do not address a holistic approach. This raises ambiguity regarding digital strategy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 27 Apr 2020 · 10,874 accessesView PDFCite
