Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Data Processing on Data QualityA. R. SamihProblem statement: Great attention had been paid on spatial data quality by the scientific community. This was due to the negative impact that a poor spatial data quality had on the competitiveness of an organization. On other hand, we can never obtain good quality data from a poor quality data. In this study, we demonstrate the effects of the different … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRe-quantization Codebook Using FingerprintZ. F. Muhsen, M. A. Dababna, A. A. NsourRe-quantization is a key technology for reducing the bit rate of compressed data. The reduction of the bit rate and in certain cases may result in signal quality degradation. Techniques need to be deployed to enhance the signal quality based on optimization techniques. The proposed scheme constructed an optimal re-quantization codebook in an iterative manner for a given original quantization … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Film thickness on the Electrical and Structural Properties of CdS: In Thin FilmsShadia J. Ikhmayies, Riyad N. Ahmad-BitarPolycrystalline CdS:In thin films were prepared by the Spray Pyrolysis (SP) technique on glass substrates at a substrate temperature Ts= 490°C. The effect of film thickness on the electrical and structural properties of the films was investigated through the analysis of the I-V plots, x-ray diffraction spectra (XRD) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The conductivity of the films … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIrrigated and Non-Irrigated Wheat Classification Based on Cultivation Calendar by IHS AlgorithmAshourloo Davood, Matkan Ali Akbar, Aghighi Hossain et al.In order to extract the wheat the bi-temporal Spot images were ordered based on cultivation calendar of wheat and other crops. As the crops reflection properties showed many variations, for precise classification many signatures are needed. Appropriate bands for classification were selected by divergence algorithm. These bands converted to IHS and for recognizing the reflection changes in the cultivated areas, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Processing on the Electrical Properties of Spray-Deposited SnO2:F Thin FilmsShadia J. Ikhmayies, Riyad N. Ahmad-BitarHighly transparent SnO2:F thin films were produced by the Spray Pyrolysis (SP) technique to be used as forcontacts in the home made CdS/CdTe solar cells. Films of thickness 100-200 nm were prepared at substrate temperatures in the range 380-480°C. To improve the electrical properties of the films, annealing in nitrogen atmosphere at 400°C and etching by HNO3 were tried. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Tumor Existence in the Virtual Soft Tissue by Using Tactile Tumor DetectorSayyed Mohsen Hosseini, Siamak Najarian, Samira Motaghinasab et al.We proposed a method to investigate the effects of the tumor existence that appear on the surface of the tissue. Finite element analysis provided properties such as the shape, depth, and location of the tumor which are important parameters for physicians to distinguish the correct condition of the patients. Several different cases were created and solved by the ANSYS software … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOut of Focus Blur Estimation Using Genetic AlgorithmMohsen E. MoghaddamIn this study, we have presented a method to estimate out of focus blur that works in noisy images precisely. The presented method has been designed based on two rough estimates of blur function parameters and then the real parameter has been calculated using a genetic algorithm. The structure of out of focus function was analyzed in frequency domain to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiochemical Properties of Sago Starch Modified by Acid Treatment in AlcoholP.H. Yiu, S.L. Loh, A. Rajan et al.Sago starch is usually chemically modified to overcome and improve the unstable properties of native sago starch during processing. In this study, sago starch was treated in hydrochloric acid in the presence of methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol at 450C for 1 hour. Granule size, granular structure and solubility of the modified starch were investigated. Results showed that recovery yields of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetoxification of Heavy Metal Contaminated SoilsFloarea Damian, Gheorghe DamianThe concentration of the heavy metals in the soils from the strong affected zones because of the mining and metallurgical industry, Baia Mare and Zlatna (Romania), is significant due to the high values of the contents and association of the four metals Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd. The efficacy of the natural zeolites in heavy metals immobilization from the studied soils … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BI-RADS Based Expert Systems for the Diagnoses of Breast DiseasesUmi Kalthum Ngah, Shalihatun Azlin Aziz, Mohd. Ezane Aziz et al.We proposed an expert system based on the interpretation of mammographic and ultrasound images that may be used by expert and non-expert doctors in the interpretation and classifying of patient cases. The expert system software consists of a mammographic (MAMMEX) and breast ultrasound (SOUNDEX) medical expert systems which may be used to deduce cases according to the Breast Imaging Recording … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
