Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Worldview-2 Satellite Imagery to Support Geoscience Studies on Phlegraean AreaPasquale Maglione, Claudio Parente, Andrea VallarioWorldView-2 satellite imagery includes half-meter panchromatic resolution and 2 m multispectral resolution. Because of the reduced dimensions of pixels and articulated spectral acquisition these images supply detailed information that can be used for geoscience applications, above all to investigate areas, identify land cover, bound vegetated zones, outline transformations (change detection). The aim of this study is to remark possibilities to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNON-COOPERATIVE IRIS RECOGNITION: A NOVEL APPROACH FOR SEGMENTATION AND FAKE IDENTIFICATIONM. Rajeev Kumar, M. Dilsath Fathima, K. Kiruthika, M. S. SaravananIris recognition, the ability to recognize and distinguish individuals by their pattern, is the most reliable biometric in terms of recognition and identification performance. However, performance of these systems is affected by the heterogeneous images (regarding focus, contrast, or brightness) and with several noise factors (iris obstruction and reflection) when the cooperation is not expectable from the subject. Current Iris … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL APPROACH BASED ON GENETIC FUZZY CLUSTERING AND ADAPTIVE NEURAL NETWORKS FOR SALES FORECASTINGAttariuas Hichama, Bouhorma Mohameda, El Fallahi AbdellahbThis article proposes a new hybrid sales forecasting system based on genetic fuzzy clustering and Back-Propagation (BP) Neural Networks with adaptive learning rate (GFCBPN).The proposed architecture consists of three stages: (1) utilizing Winter’s Exponential Smoothing method and Fuzzy C-Means clustering, all normalized data records will be categorized into k clusters; (2) using an adapted Genetic Fuzzy System (MCGFS), the fuzzy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 2 Jul 2013 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCinnamon Extract Regulates Gene Expression of Lipid and Carbohydrate Metabolism in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Wistar RatsMohamed Mohamed Soliman, Mohamed Mohamed Ahmed, Samir Ahmed El-ShazlyCinnamon is a herbal medication plant used widely for many diseases in the Middle East and ancient countries. Cinnamon Extract (CE) contains many active substances that modulate insulin sensitivity and acts as anti-diabetic medication. Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by disturbance in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Cinnamon Extract … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 8,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Various Compiler Optimization Techniques Related to Mibench Benchmark ApplicationsJeyaraj Andrews, Thangappan SasikalaTuning compiler optimization for a given application of particular computer architecture is not an easy task, because modern computer architecture reaches higher levels of compiler optimization. These modern compilers usually provide a larger number of optimization techniques. By applying all these techniques to a given application degrade the program performance as well as more time consuming. The performance of the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 6 Jun 2013 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
