Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGENOTYPIC IDENTIFICATION OF CANDIDA SPP. ISOLATED FROM ONYCHOCANDIDIASIS PATIENTS BY PHENOTYPIC METHODS, PCR AND RAPD-PCRZaidan Khlaif Imran, H. Al-GhalibiCandidal Onychomycosis (COM) is a common nail disease which plays as sources pathogenic reservoir giving a rise to repeated candidiasis infections. This study aimed to evaluate PCR assays and phenotypic tests for identification of yeasts isolated from COM patients. The study included 100 clinically suspected patients of COM attending the main hospital and clinics in Al-Dewania province in the middle … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2013 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION OF SKIN LESIONS USING HISTOGRAM THRESHOLDINGNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Abbas Hussien MiryAutomatic lesion segmentation is an important part of computer-based image analysis of pigmented skin lesions. Currently, there is a great interest in the development of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems for dermoscopic images. The segmentation step is one of the most important ones, since its accuracy determines the eventual success or failure of a CAD system. This study introduced new method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2013 · 7,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQUALITY BASED SPEAKER VERIFICATION SYSTEMS USING FUZZY INFERENCE FUSION SCHEMELydia Abdul Hamid, Dzati Athiar RamliPerformances of single biometric speaker verification systems are outstanding in clean condition but drop significantly in noisy condition. Implementation of multibiometric systems is one of the solutions to this limitation. However, in order to ensure the performances of multibiometric systems are sustained, the optimum weight for the fusion system must be determined correctly according to the quality of current data. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Dec 2013 · 6,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Visual Sensitivity Guided Bit Embedding for Video SteganographyS. Balu, K. Amudha, D. C. Nelson Kennedy BabuWhile watching a video human visual system gives more attention on the foreground objects than background objects. That is, human vision system pays more attention to the region of interest, such as the human faces in the video content. Most of the video steganography algorithms embed secret information in video by considering every part of the video frames with equal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2013 · 6,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Fuzzy Neural Approach for Medical Image RetrievalC. Sriramakrishnan, A. ShanmugamImage retrieval based on a query image is necessary for effective and efficient use the information that is stored in medical image databases. Medical Image Retrieval is difficult as not only the localization and directionality of human visual system is to be considered but also the pathological condition. Image identification and segmentation for feature extraction pose a challenge to image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 8 Sep 2012 · 6,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Flow Systems and Their Response to Climate Change: A Need for a Water-System View ApproachJoel J. Carrillo-Rivera, Antonio CardonaProblem statement: The interest in early hydrogeological studies was the aquifer unit, as it is the physical media that stores and permits groundwater transfers from the recharge zone to the discharge zone, making groundwater available to boreholes for water extraction. Approach: Recently, the aquifer concept has been complemented by the groundwater flow system theory, where groundwater may be defined by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Distributed Coverage and Target Tracking Algorithm for Wireless Sensor NetworksM. Senthamilselvi, N. DevarajanProblem statement: Due to communication, processing and energy constraints, tracking in sensor networks creates different challenges. Since existing algorithms utilized the information from all the sensors for tracking, it results in higher expenditure of energy and reduced lifetime for the network. Approach: We propose to develop a distributed coverage and target tracking algorithm for wireless sensor networks. Tracking issue is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 6 Jan 2012 · 6,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Recent Research and Implementation Methodologies on Medical Image SegmentationS. K. Somasundaram, P. AlliProblem statement: Image segmentation plays a very important role in digital imaging applications for classifying the anatomical structures and other Regions of Interest. Segmentation refers to the process of identifying and isolating the surface and regions of the digital image which corresponds to the structural units. Approach: In the past few decades, many methods have been proposed to segment the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 4 Nov 2011 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcotourism Development in Recreational Forest AreasMd. Anowar Hossain Bhuiyan, Chamhuri Siwar, Shaharuddin Mohamad Ismail, Rabiul IslamProblem statement: This study explored the issues and strategies of ecotourism development in recreational forest areas of Malaysia. There are a number of forest recreational areas and reserves. The recreation forests are designated and managed under the forestry department. These recreational areas of scenic beauty comprise about 0.05% of the total forest reserves in Peninsular Malaysia. Ecotourism should be set … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 1 Oct 2011 · 8,351 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Dystonia: An OverviewSergio Machado, Oscar Arias-Carrion, Flávia Paes et al.Problem statement: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive procedure whereby a pulsed magnetic field stimulates electrical activity in the brain. Dystonia is characterized by several disabling symptoms for which effective, mechanism-based treatments remain elusive. Approach: Consequently, more advanced non-invasive therapeutic methods were required. A possible method to modulate brain activity and potentially viable for use in clinical practice … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2011 · 10,035 accessesView PDFCite
