Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Plant Leaf Diseases Using K‒mean++ Intermeans Thresholding AlgorithmKittipol Wisaeng, Worawat Sa–NgiamviboolIn the field of agricultural information, the plant leaf disease detection is highly important for both farmer life and environment. To improve the accuracy of plant leaf disease detection and reduce the image processing time, the improved K‒mean++ clustering and intermeans thresholding method are proposed in this study. The proposed algorithms are used for training and testing diseases in plant … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 9 · 21 Sep 2020 · 6,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConjugate Gradient Method: A Developed Version to Resolve Unconstrained Optimization ProblemsAhmad Alhawarat, Nguyen-Thoi Trung, Zabidin SallehOne of the important methods that are widely utilized to resolve unconstrained optimization problems is the Conjugate Gradient (CG) method. This paper aims to propose a new version of the CG method on the basis of Weak Wolfe-Powell (WWP) line search. The assumption is bounded below optimization problems with the Lipschitz continuous gradient. The new parameter obtains global convergence properties … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 9 · 18 Sep 2020 · 6,887 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Quantitative Pharmacology on Drug DevelopmentAna Ruiz-Garcia, Kourosh ParivarThesuccess of drug development rests over two well defined pillars, a goodunderstanding of the drug’s clinical pharmacology and the appropriate targetpopulation for whom the clinical use is intended. The label for human prescription drugsrequires a good understanding of the pharmacological effects (pharmacodynamicsor PD) and the mechanism of action of the drug as well as detailed informationof the drug’s Pharmacokinetics (PK): … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Apr 2015 · 7,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYBRID FEATURE SELECTION ALGORITHM FOR INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEMSeyed Reza Hasani, Zulaiha Ali Othman, Seyed Mostafa Mousavi KahakiNetwork security is a serious global concern. Usefulness Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are increasing incredibly in Information Security research using Soft computing techniques. In the previous researches having irrelevant and redundant features are recognized causes of increasing the processing speed of evaluating the known intrusive patterns. In addition, an efficient feature selection method eliminates dimension of data and reduce redundancy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 31 Jan 2014 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCEMENT AND COMPARISON OF ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION FOR SOFTWARE RELIABILITY MODELSLatha Shanmugam, Lilly FlorenceIn Common parlance, the traditional software reliability estimation methods often rely on assumptions like statistical distributions that are often dubious and unrealistic. The ability to predict the number of faults during development phase and a proper testing process helps in specifying timely release of software and efficient management of project resources. In the Present Study Enhancement and Comparison of Ant … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Subsurface Defects in Concrete Bridge Deck JointsWonchang Choi, Larry Rickard, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Miguel PicornellProblem statement: The integrity of deck joints in highway bridges plays a major role to determine overall performance of bridge system. As the bridge maintenance program, the defects in deck joints have historically been detected by conventional non-destructive testing and evaluation methods such as visual inspection, chain-dragging and by the detecting sounds under the traffic. Future bridge maintenance challenges will … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2011 · 7,772 accessesView PDFCite
