Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Neural Networks Classifier for Face DetectionF. Smach, M. Atri, J. Mitéran, M. AbidFace detection and recognition has many applications in a variety of fields such as security system, videoconferencing and identification. Face classification is currently implemented in software. A hardware implementation allows real-time processing, but has higher cost and time to-market. The objective of this work was to implement a classifier based on neural networks MLP (Multi-layer Perception) for face detection. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of ball milling times on phase formation of Mg0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4Aurawan Rittidech, Panuthat KhotsongkramMg0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 (MZF) powder was prepared by a solid-state mixed oxide using ball-milling technique. The phase identification of calcined powders was performed using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). It has been found that MZF powders were successfully obtained for calcination conditions of 800 oC for milling times of 36 h, whereas milling times of 12 h, unreacted ZnO, Fe2O3 and MgO phases … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQualitative Assessments of the Software Architectures of Configuration Management SystemsAbhay Kothari, A. K. Ramani, P. K. ChandeThe Configuration Management (CM) is a very important area of concentration in software development and maintenance processes. Quality parameters for Configuration Management Tools’ architectural designs require rigorous identification and measurement. Two methods for quantitative assessment of quality parameters of the software architectures are proposed. These methods are based upon modularization properties, like, cohesion type, coupling type, module complexity, module size … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Assessment Study for Storage ExplosiveS. Saiful Azhar, M. Abdul Rahman, M. Saari et al.In Malaysia, there has been rapidly increasing usage in amount of explosives due to widely expansion in quarrying and mining industries. The explosives are usually stored in the storage where the safety precaution had given high attention.
