Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping and Testing Dynamic Models for HVAC Systems Using System Identification ApproachNabil Nassif, Jasmine Buford, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper proposes integrated modeling and optimization methods for a chilled water HVAC system using a system identification approach. Two multiple input-single output models are developed to find the supply air temperature and fan power of the investigated chilled water air handling unit AHU. To test the proposed models, actual data are collected from existing HVAC systems. Different fan and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2017 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeature Extraction Method for Improving Speech Recognition in Noisy EnvironmentsYoussef Zouhir, Kaïs OuniThe paper presents a feature extraction method, named as Normalized Gammachirp Cepstral Coefficients (NGCC) that incorporates the properties of the peripheral auditory system to improve robustness in noisy speech recognition. The proposed method is based on a second order low-pass filter and normalized gammachirp filterbank to emulate the mechanisms performed in the outer/middle ear and cochlea. The speech recognition performance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2016 · 7,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Resolution Satellite Images to Reconstruct Recent Evolution of Domitian CoastlinePasquale Maglione, Claudio Parente, Andrea VallarioIn the last decades, combinations of natural and humanfactors have resulted in extensive morphological changes to our coastlines andin many cases have amplified erosion. In order to limit these changes and theirimpact on coastal zone, it is important toplan specific actions; for this purpose detailed cognizance of coastal zone isnecessary. Different and heterogeneous data such as historical and recent maps,remotely … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 28 Aug 2015 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPROTECTIVE ROLE OF VITAMIN C AND GREEN TEA EXTRACT ON MALATHION-INDUCED HEPATOTOXICITY AND NEPHROTOXICITY IN RATSRabab R. Elzoghby, Ahlam F. Hamoda, A. Abdel-Fatah, Mona FaroukThe present study was designed to determine the modulating effect of green tea and vitamin C against adverse effects of malathion. Animals were divided into four groups 5 rats /group). Group one was used as a control. Group two given malathion (50 mg/kg/day; 1/50 of the LD50 for four weeks). Group three and Group four were given malathion (50 mg/kg/day; … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Jul 2014 · 8,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSUPER RESOLUTION FOR EGYPTSAT-1 IMAGES WITH ERRATIC SHIFTA. H. Nasr, Gh.S. El-Tawel, A. K. HelmyThe key point of the Super-Resolution (SR) process is the accurate registration of the low resolution images, i.e., accurate measuring of the fixed shift between them, to obtain high resolution image. Due to certain malfunction, some Egyptsat-1 images have inconsistent sub-pixel shift. Therefore, in this study we propose a methodology to use this kind of shift for reconstructing a SR … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCAROTID PLAQUE CLASSIFICATION USING CONTOURLET FEATURES AND SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINESM. Thangavel, M. Chandrasekaran, M. MadheswaranThe aim of this study is to propose a suitable and reliable system for better diagnosis and treatment of carotid diseases. In this study, Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system has been proposed for classifying carotid artery plaques using Contourlet features. Carotid images have been acquired for 124 subjects with symptoms (Amaurosis Fugax, Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack) and 133 subjects … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 15 Apr 2014 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF ADHOC ON DEMAND DISTANCE VECTOR PROTOCOL WITH BLACKHOLE ATTACK IN WSNMuhammad Ibrahim Channa, Kamalrulnizam Abu Bakar, Adnan AhmedThe security is major challenging issue in wireless sensor network applications because they are operated in public and unrestrained areas which also makes difficult to protect against tampering or captured by an adversary force that can launch insider attacks to make a node compromised. One type of such attack is black hole attack. Existing AODV routing protocol does not have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 26 Feb 2014 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIN-SEASON ASSESSMENT OF WHEAT CROP HEALTH USING VEGETATION INDICES BASED ON GROUND MEASURED HYPER SPECTRAL DATAKhalid Ali Al-Gaadi, Virupakshagouda Patil, ElKamil Tola et al.An experiment on a 50 ha center pivot field was conducted to determine the Vegetation Indices (VI’s) that were helpful in assessing the in-season performance of wheat crop treated with graded levels of irrigation water and fertilizers. The irrigation levels were at 100, 90, 80 and 70% evapotranspiration (ETc); however, the fertilizer levels of N: P: K kg-1ha included 300:150:200 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 7 Jan 2014 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPOTENTIAL AMELIORATIVE ROLE OF N-ACETYLCYSTEINE AGAINST TESTICULAR DYSFUNCTION INDUCED BY TITANIUM DIOXIDE IN MALE ALBINO RATSAhmed Farag El-Kirdasy, Mohamed Abdo Nassan, Ahmed Abdel Aziz Baiomy et al.In this study, we examined the ameliorative action of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) against Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) induced testicular degeneration in albino rats. Adult male albino rats were given saline as a control group, TiO2 (1200 mg kg-1 BW), NAC (100 mg kg-1 BW) and co-treatment of NAC and TiO2 as a protective group for 3 months. Testicular tissues were extracted for … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2013 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
