Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix Bone Fracture DetectionHum Yan Chai, Lai Khin Wee, Tan Tian Swee et al.Problem statement: Currently doctors in orthopedic wards inspect the bone x-ray images according to their experience and knowledge in bone fracture analysis. Manual examination of x-rays has multitude drawbacks. The process is time-consuming and subjective. Approach: Since detection of fractures is an important orthopedics and radiologic problem and therefore a Computer Aided Detection(CAD) system should be developed to improve the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstrained Response Surface Optimization for a Laser Beam Welding ProcessPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: On a current operating condition of a laser beam welding process in the hard disk drive industry, it has been found that shear strength of the head support and suspension assembly is slightly higher than customers' specification. This situation leads to an inspection with a large sample size and a high frequency. Shear strength is not only one … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiometric Correction of Multitemporal Satellite ImagerySeema Gore Biday, Udhav BhosleProblem statement: Repeated observation of a given area over time yields potential for many forms of change detection analysis. These repeated observations are confounded in terms of radiometric consistency due to changes in sensor calibration over time, differences in illumination, observation angles and variation in atmospheric effects. Also major problem with satellite images is that regions below clouds are not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Scale of Liquid Coal Fuel Combustion Process and Exhaust Gas FormationKartika Kus Hendratna, Osami Nishida, Hirotsugu Fujita, Wataru HaranoProblem statement: Much research of coal has been already undertaken to ascertain the possibilities of coal being used as substitute for heavy fuel oil in the transportation sector. The effects of using coal as transportation fuel to the environment must also be considered. This study will review several aspects of the coal oil combustion process including combustion behavior, flame stability, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinematics Model of Snake Robot Considering Snake ScaleRaisuddin Khan, M. Watanabe, A. A. ShafieProblem statement: In snake robot research, one of the most efficient forms of locomotion is the lateral undulation. However, lateral undulation, also known as serpentine locomotion, is ill-suited for narrow spaces, as the body of the snake must assume a certain amount of curvature to propel forward. Approach: To overcome the inability to adapt to narrow spaces, a novel type … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Center Interpolation Net for Classification of Composite Structures Tested Using Low Frequency Electronic TappingMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Most exhaustive NDT techniques require large capital equipment, are difficult to apply to complex geometric structures and, above all, are time-consuming to use and some take a considerable time to complete. As a solution to the problems associated with NDT applications, there is a need to establish an intelligent analysis system that supports a portable testing environment, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwigINLAB: A Decomposition-Matching-Merging Approach To Improving XML Query ProcessingSu-Cheng Haw, Chien-Sing LeeThe emergence of the Web has increased significant interests in querying XML data. Current methods for XML query processing still suffers from producing large intermediate results and are not efficient in supporting query with mixed types of relationships. We propose the TwigINLAB algorithm to process and optimize the query evaluation. Our TwigINLAB adopts the decomposition-matching-merging approach and focuses on optimizing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,988 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Tactile Sensor for Detection of Skin Surface Morphology and its Application in Telemedicine SystemsRoozbeh Khodambashi, Siamak Najarian, Ali Tavakoli Golpaygani et al.We proposed a new type of tactile sensor that is capable of determining the surface morphology of skin lesions. The sensor consists of a brass cylinder with an axial bore. Three peripheral bobbins were machined in the cylinder around which three coils have been wound. An iron core can easily move inside the bore. One of the coils acts as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Maintenance Scheduler for Near Optimum Utilization of Oil TanksFawaz S. Al-Anzi, Khaled Al-ZamelDue to the entry of Kuwait into WTO and the expected liberalization of petroleum management, the oil market is to become more competitive. However, the space limitation and public increasing awareness of environmental protection issues and stricter regulation passed by Environmental Public Authority (EPA) in Kuwait make the need for full utilization of oil tanks a prime requirement of a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,515 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterminants and Control Strategies of FMD in Japan and IndonesiaTri Anggraeni Kusumastuti, Ikuo Kobayashi, Ahmad Juwari, Lovin Dika AntariFoot and mouth disease is an infection caused by the aphthae epizootica virus which is easily transmitted to cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. Over the last 25 years, the disease has widely spread in Asian countries, including Japan in 2010 and Indonesia in 2022. We aimed to review the determinants and control strategy for handling FMD in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2024 · 5,306 accessesView PDFCite
