Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Using Texture SegmentationG. Tamil Pavai, S. Tamil SelviIn this study, it is proposed fast texture segmentation of detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. proliferative diabetic retinopathy is characterized by the revascularization on the optic disc or on the retinal area or both, as a result of diabetes mellitus. It may leads to the blindness if it is not detected and treated in proper time. This study proposes a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 26 Apr 2013 · 6,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of High Fiber and Low Carbohydrate Diets on Owner-Perceived Satiety of Cats During Weight LossMartha Cline, Angela Witzel, Tamberlyn Moyers et al.Food-seeking behaviors exhibited by cats during weight loss programs are frustrating to owners. Two categories of therapeutic weight loss diets are available for cats: High Fiber (HF) and Low Carbohydrate (LC). The objective of this study was to determine if cat owners perceive a difference in satiety when their cats are fed either a HF or LC diet during a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 8 Jan 2013 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybridization of Enhanced Artificial Bee Colony-Least Squares Support Vector Machines for Price ForecastingZuriani Mustaffa, Yuhanis YusofProblem statement: As the performance of Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LSSVM) is highly rely on its value of regularization parameter, γ and kernel parameter, σ2, man-made approach is clearly not an appropriate solution since it may lead to blindness in certain extent. In addition, this technique is time consuming and unsystematic, which consequently affect the generalization performance of LSSVM. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 28 Aug 2012 · 6,802 accessesView PDFCite
