Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugarcane Phenological Date Estimation Using Broad-Band Digital CamerasMobasheri, M. Chahardoli, J. Jokar, M. FarajzadehIn the agricultural industry, precision farming is the most important task that attracts lots of attentions. The health of the plant depends mostly on the amount of water in its access that can be estimated through vegetation indices. These indices can be extracted from satellite images through Image processing algorithms. The objective of this research was to provide an equation … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAtomic Absorption Spectrometric Determination of Certain Fluoroquinolones in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and in Biological FluidsH. Salem, W. Khater, L. FadaSimple, accurate, sensitive and selective methods are described for the quantitative determination of ten fluoroquinolones (amifloxacin, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, difloxacin hydrochloride, enoxacin, enrofloxacin, lomefloxacin hydrochloride, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin and pefloxacin mesylate). The methods are based on precipitation of the ion associates formed from the reaction of the cited drugs with silver nitrate, copper acetate and ferric chloride.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy-GAs Model for Determining Varied Irrigation EfficiencyAnongrit Kangrang, Chavalit ChaleeraktrakoonIrrigation efficiency is necessary information in water resource management. We proposed fuzzy sets approach for estimating varied irrigation efficiency. Genetic algorithms technique was applied to calibrate membership function of fuzzy model. The fuzzy sets technique considered the uncertainty of the available water resource and required area as the input variables. The approach model was applied to determine the fluctuated irrigation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method to Track Line Segment in Sequence of Images Using Only its SlopeS. Ait Kaci Azzou, S. LarabiIn this paper, we present a novel approach to track a line segment in the sequence of images obtained by camera in motion. We use the slope of segment as feature to track. The proposed method is based only on the formalism of the slope of the segment. We use the definition of the projection of points and the relation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,676 accessesView PDFCite
