Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExact Permutation Algorithm for Paired Observations: The Challenge of R. A. FisherJ. I. Odiase, S. M. OgbonmwanThe major handicap of permutation test is the logical and computational requirement necessary to develop and implement the exact permutation scheme. This study provides an algorithm that systematically enumerates all the distinct permutations of the paired observations in an experiment without the possibility of repeating any of the permutations. The permutation algorithm presented completely breaks down the permutation problem for … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Implementation of Re-Sampling Technique for High Performance Multiple Classifier SystemsS. Sathiyabama, K. Thyagarajah, D. AyyamuthukumarDue to the large size of the database, the entire training dataset could not be used to construct the classifiers. One popular solution is to separate stream data into chunks, learn a base classifier from each chunk and then integrate all base classifiers to form Multiple classifier system (MCS). Sometimes this data streams does not include all the classes in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,014 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Near Real-time Early Warning System on Erosion HazardsFaisal H. Ali, Tew K. HuiWith many incidences of landslides, mudslides and erosion occurrences lately, especially in the highlands in Malaysia, properties were damaged and lives were lost. Seeing the need of resolving and minimizing such untoward incidences, a study has been embarked on developing a near real-time early warning system on erosion hazards so as to provide an early warning to the public, whenever … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Binarization Using Block Boundary Pixels MeanO. Imocha Singh, T. Romen SinghInput image pixels classification into two intensities like black and white as foreground and background respectively refers to image binarization. Binarization with a local threshold value is termed as adaptive image binarization. Locally adaptive thresholding techniques are local pixels dependent process. Local environment dependent process is normally time consuming one and hence its computational time complexity is also local region … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 28 Nov 2017 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtracting Unique Personal Identification Number from IrisNenad Nestorovic, P.W.C. Prasad, Abeer Alsadoon, Amr ElchouemiThe aim of this research is to propose an enhanced model that significantly reduces the noise in the iris templates and thus present an efficient and reliable iris recognition system. Accuracy of Iris recognition system significantly depends on reducing noise at every stage of recognition process especially at eye image acquisition and iris segmentation stages. The proposed Iris recognition model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 7 Jul 2017 · 8,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Playing Surface and Shoe Type on ACL Tears in Soccer PlayersMelissa M. Mansfield, Ronald B. BucinellToday, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears are one of the most prevalent knee injuries, with the occurrence of ACL tears increasing drastically from approximately 80 000 in 2000 to 150 000 in 2011. Although there are many factors that contribute to an ACL tear occurring, certain environmental factors could contribute to the dramatic increase over the past couple decades, especially … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2016 · 12,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAUTOMATIC TEXT EXTRACTION FROM COMPLEX COLORED IMAGES USING GAMMA CORRECTION METHODG. Gayathri Devi, C. P. SumathiThe aim of this study is to propose a new methodology for text region extraction and non text region removal from complex background colored images. This study presents a new approach based on Gamma correction by determining a gamma value for enhancing the foreground details in an image. The approach also uses gray level co-occurrence matrices, texture measures, threshold concepts. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2013 · 6,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSafety Health Impacts of Particulate Matter from Excavation Work SitesGiuseppe Pizzo, Marina ClericoEpidemiological studies have shown a linear relationship between airborne particulates and effects on human health. This study examines the risk that can be run by populations which are exposed to significant pollutant sources such as excavation in urban areas for renovation work. The health risk assessment methodology defined by the WHO air quality guidelines for Europe was applied to assess … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Jul 2012 · 7,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE2AODV Protocol for Load Balancing in Ad-Hoc NetworksR. Vinod Kumar, R. S.D. Wahida BanuProblem statement: In mobile ad hoc networks there are a number of challenges in providing quality of service routing with energy efficiency and load balancing. Most routing protocols do not consider the problem of load balance. A routing protocol called energy Efficient Ad-hoc on Demand Vector (E2AODV) is proposed. It addresses the quality of service issues such as throughput, end … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 7 Jul 2012 · 6,832 accessesView PDFCite
