Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Analysis of Particulate Flow in Expansion ChannelNor Azwadi Che Sidik, Leila JahanshalooComputational prediction of fluid-solid particle interaction in an expansion horizontal channel with wide range of Reynolds numbers. Lagrangian-Lagrangian numerical technique to predict the movement of solid particle. The method is based on mesocale scheme of lattice Boltzmann method for prediction of fluid dynamics and second Newton’s law for the dynamics of solid particles. The flow behaviour at the downstream of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 20 Apr 2013 · 6,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Electrode Spacing and Inversion Techniques on the Efficacy of 2D Resistivity Imaging to Delineate Subsurface FeaturesAdiat Kola Abdul-Nafiu, Mohd. Nawawi Mohd. Nordin, Khiruddin Abdullah et al.In this study, the effect of the choice of appropriate electrode spacing and inversion algorithms on the efficacy of 2D imaging to map subsurface features was investigated. The target being investigated was the drainage concrete pipe buried at approximately 0.3 m into the subsurface. A profile perpendicular to the strike of the pipe was established. 2D resistivity data was separately … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2013 · 7,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOnline Arabic Handwritten Character Recognition Based on a Rule Based ApproachSaad M. Ismail, Siti Norul Huda Sheikh AbdullahHandwriting recognition is a very challenging problem. Much work has been done on the recognition of Latin characters but limited work has been done on recognizing Arab characters. Most Arabic handwriting recognition in previous works focused on recognizing offline script and little take the online cases. The main theme of this study is on-line handwritten Arabic character recognition. A successful … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 25 Sep 2012 · 7,198 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Rutting Depth in Flexible Pavements by Using Finite Element Analysis and Local Empirical ModelAlaa H. Abed, Adel A. Al-AzzawiThe objective of this research is to predict rut depth in local flexible pavements. Predication model in pavement performance is the process that used to estimate the parameter values which related to pavement structure, environmental condition and traffic loading. The different local empirical models have been used to calculate permanent deformation which include environmental and traffic conditions. Finite element analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,748 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance, Analysis of Filtering Schedule Using Deblocking Filter for the Reduction of Block Artifacts from MPEQ Compressed Document ImagesM. Anto Bennet, I. Jacob RaglendProblem statement: The visual effects of blocking artifacts can be reduce by using deblocking filter. Also with out smoothing the natural edges,the perceived quality of video sequence can be enchanced. This study propose a method to remove blocking artifacts in low bit-rate block based video coding. Approach: The proposed algorithm has two separate filtering modes, which are selected by pixel … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 8 Aug 2012 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWind Load Effects on Manufactured Home FoundationsRamesh K. Dhungana, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie H. FiniProblem statement: Manufactured homes are susceptible to hurricane damage. Each year, significant losses, in terms of fatalities and property damage, are reported. There is always a prevalent concern about lateral load resistance capacity of tie-down system of manufactured homes when subjected to windstorms. This study is performed to determine the effects of hurricane wind on manufactured homes’ foundations. Approach: A … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 25 Jan 2012 · 8,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHandwritten Characters Extraction from Form Based on Line Shape CharacteristicsAli Qusay Al-Faris, Dzulkifli Mohamad, Umi Kalthum Ngah, Nor Ashidi Mat IsaProblem statement: Data entry form is a convenient and successful tool for information collection by filling in the sheets using pen and handwriting. One of the most important fields in these forms is the data filled boxes. Extracting the handwriting from the data entry forms is important for many purposes such as in documenting and archiving. The extraction process is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 15 Oct 2011 · 7,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Melatonin in Prevention of Neuropathy in STZ-Induced Diabetic RatsNasser Zangiabadi, Vahid Sheibani, Majid Asadi-Shekaari et al.Problem statement: Diabetes mellitus occurs mainly with chronic polyneuropathy, and oxidative stress plays an important role in emergence of most neurologic and behavioral changes in diabetic patients. Many studies have focused on the beneficial effects of various antioxidants such as melatonin on diabetic neuropathy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of melatonin in prevention of neuropathy … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 9,362 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Neuro-Fuzzy Techniques for Solar RadiationW. A. Rahoma, U. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanProblem statement: The prediction is very useful in solar energy applications because it permits to estimate solar data for locations where measurements are not available. The developed artificial intelligence models predict the solar radiation time series more effectively compared to the conventional procedures based on the clearness index. Approach: The forecasting ability of some models could be further enhanced with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 11 Aug 2011 · 7,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMagneto Convection in Tilted Square Cavity with Differentially Thermally Active Vertical WallsGokila Subbarayalu, Selladurai VelappanProblem statement: The purpose of this study is to study numerically the magnetoconvection in a tilted square cavity with differentially thermally active vertical walls. The two vertical side walls of tilted enclosure are differentially thermally active, each consisting of alternating equal sized hot and cold surface elements facing each other in an opposed manner while the horizontal top and bottom … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 May 2011 · 7,357 accessesView PDFCite
