Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Offline Signature Verification Scheme Using Feature Point Extraction MethodDebasish Jena, Banshidhar Majhi, Sanjay K. JenaSignature verification is a technology that can solve security problems in our networked society. A new improved offline signature verification scheme is proposed which is based on selecting 60 feature points from the geometric centre of the signature and compares them with the already trained feature points. The classification of the feature points utilizes statistical parameters like mean and variance. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 6,884 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Simulation of Fuel Nozzle Multi Holes Geometries Effect on Direct Injection Diesel Engine Performance Using GT-POWERRosli Abu Bakar, Semin, Abdul Rahim Ismail, Ismail AliThe computational model simulation development is use the commercial computational fluid dynamics of GT-POWER 6.2 software were specially development for internal combustion engines performance simulation. The research concentrated on one dimensional model and focuses on fuel nozzles multi holes geometries variation developed from all of the engine components size measurement of the original selected diesel engine. All of the measurements … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 8,961 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Graph Coloring AlgorithmsHussein Al-Omari, Khair E. SabriTwo new heuristic graph-coloring algorithms, based on known heuristic algorithms, have been introduced. One of them is a modification of the Largest Degree Ordering (LDO) algorithm, and the other one is a modification of the Saturation Degree Ordering (SDO) algorithm. The two new algorithms proposed in this paper, were compared empirically, in terms of used colors, with some of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Dye from Textile Wastewater Using Plant Oils Under Different pH and Temperature ConditionsA.S. Mahmoud, Abdel E. Ghaly, M.S. BrooksThe effectiveness of five plant oils (cottonseed, olive, canola sunflower and used cooking oil) for the removal of dye from textile wastewater was evaluated. The study revealed that the dye removal efficiency increased as the temperature was increased. Under low pH, both the oil and dye split into two components each. Neither one of the oil components joined with either … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,351 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetoxification of Heavy Metal Contaminated SoilsFloarea Damian, Gheorghe DamianThe concentration of the heavy metals in the soils from the strong affected zones because of the mining and metallurgical industry, Baia Mare and Zlatna (Romania), is significant due to the high values of the contents and association of the four metals Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd. The efficacy of the natural zeolites in heavy metals immobilization from the studied soils … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Resonance Theory 1 (ART1) Neural Network Based Horizontal and Vertical Classification of 0-9 Digits RecognitionMbaitiga ZacharieThis study describes the Adaptive Resonance Theory 1 (ART1), an efficient algorithm that emulates the self-organizing pattern recognition and hypothesis testing properties of the ART neural network architecture for horizontal and vertical classification of 0-9 digits recognition. In our approach the ART1 model can self-organize in real time producing stable and clear recognition while getting input patterns beyond those originally … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Behavior for Solution of Reaction-Diffusion SystemsM. Yahi, K. SaoudiThe existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of the solution of a balanced two-component reaction-diffusion system have been investigated. It was shown that a global and unique solution existed and its second component can be estimated using the Lyapunov Functional. It was, also, demonstrated that each component of the solution converged, at infinity, to a constant which can be found in … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPM Emissions in a Urban ContextEnrico Brizio, Giuseppe Genon, Stefania BorsarelliWithin a urban environment, three different sources of particulate matter should be considered: heating plants using different combustibles (natural gas, gas oil, fuel oil, wood), industrial plants placed in the surrounding area, traffic. While the effects of the first two origins can be easily calculated on the basis of existing emission factors, the PM emissions from traffic are of two … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study between Various Protocols of MANET NetworksMohammed F. Al-Hunaity, Salam A. Najim, Ibrahiem M. El-EmaryMulticast Ad-Hoc on-Demand Distance Vector (MAODV) protocol keeps sending control packets within static periods whether there was sending of data packets or not, and it was not concerned with the amount of these data packets. Based on this, many people found out that there are a high number of control packets in the short-lived connection. The main idea of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Pathology of Alzheimer Disease Elicits an In Vivo Immunological ResponseDavid J. Bonda, Kate M. Webber, Sandra L. Siedlak et al.The mechanism(s) responsible for the loss of neurons that characterizes Alzheimer disease is incompletely understood. Nonetheless, there is considerable evidence suggestive of immune abnormalities coupled to alterations in blood-brain barrier permeability that likely play a key role in both the etiology and progression of the disease. To examine these issues further, this study was designed to examine the presence of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,115 accessesView PDFCite
