Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONTENT BASED BATIK IMAGE RETRIEVALA. Haris Rangkuti, Agus Harjoko, Agfianto Eko PutroContent Based Batik Image Retrieval (CBBIR) is an area of research that focuses on image processing based on characteristic motifs of batik. Basically the image has a unique batik motif compared with other images. Its uniqueness lies in the characteristics possessed texture and shape, which has a unique and distinct characteristics compared with other image characteristics. To study this batik … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 27 Jan 2014 · 7,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Aluminum Alloy-Based Nanocomposites Produced by the Addition of AL-TI5-B1 to the Matrix MeltHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe present study is an attempt to produce aluminum matrix nanocomposites using a certain aluminum alloy (which its melt has high fluidity) as a matrix material and reinforced with hard and stable fine (nano-sized) precipitates. Therefore, Al-Ti5-B1 master alloy and Al-Si alloy of high silicon content were proposed for preparation of such nanocomposites. Three nanocomposites were prepared by adding Al-Ti5-B1 … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2014 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
