Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Face Authentication with Convolutional Neural NetworkMohamed Sayed, Faris BakerMatching thermal face images as a method of biometric authentication has gained increasing interest because of its advantage of tracking a target object at night and in total darkness. Therefore, for security purposes, it has become highly favourable and has extensive applications, for instance, in video surveillance at night. The aim of this study is to present a simple and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 10 Dec 2018 · 7,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Bacterial Pathogens in Some Marine Fishes in EL-Mansoura, EgyptElsayed Mahmoud Ezzat, Essawy Mahmoud, Shabana Iman Ibrahim et al.A total of 200 marine fish of two different species (100 Tilapia zillii and100 Mugil capito) were randomly collected from different markets, during different seasons. Fish subjected to clinical, postmortem and bacteriological studies. The common clinical signs were darkness of the skin, hemorrhage in the fins base, eyes and different parts of the body, abdominal distention, congestion in gills and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2018 · 9,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Comparisons of Anchovy Drying using Centrifugal and Gravitational Fluidized Bed TechniquesWatcharin Dongbang, Rungtawan WiwattanasirikulThe present study investigated experimental comparisons of anchovy drying using centrifugal and gravitational fluidized bed techniques; in addition, drying models and thermal efficiency were also investigated. In the first stage, fresh anchovy was dried with solar energy to reduce the initial moisture content from 81±1%wb to around 65%±1wb. In the second stage, the anchovy was dried with a dryer from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 23 Apr 2015 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of the Mechanisms of Faecal Coliform Removal from Algal and Duckweed Waste Stabilization Pond SystemsE. D.O. Ansa, E. Awuah, A. Andoh et al.The use of eco-technologies for wastewater treatment such as algal and duckweed-based pond systems is becoming popular in developing countries owing to its affordability and efficiency of pathogen removal in warm climates. The pathogen removal mechanisms of these treatment systems however is still not clearly understood and existing knowledge is also scattered in journals and books of different disciplines. The … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Apr 2015 · 8,365 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDETECTION OF DIABETIC MACULOPATHY IN HUMAN RETINAL IMAGES USING MORPHOLOGICAL OPERATIONSG.S. Annie Grace Vimala, S. KajamohideenDiabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common retinal complication associated with diabetes. Adverse changes in the retinal blood vessels lead to loss of vision without any symptoms. Diabetic retinopathy is frequent, blinding complication of the patient with high blood sugar levels that characterize diabetes. Automatic Recognition of DR lesions like Exudates, in digital fund us images can contribute to the diagnosis … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2014 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnchovy Drying Using Infrared RadiationWatcharin Dongbang, Anirut MatthujakThe present study investigated the drying of anchovy using infrared radiation experimentally; in addition, the dimensionless heat transfer coefficient in terms of Nusselt’s number was also investigated. The anchovy was dried from 78±1%wb down to 20±1%wb. The drying conditions were infrared power range 400-800 W, hot air temperatures range 50-70°C and hot air velocity range 0.5-1.5 ms-1. The lowest drying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 14 Apr 2013 · 6,815 accessesView PDFCite
