Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDynamic Reliability Analysis of Steel Moment Frames Using Monte Carlo TechniqueMajid Mahjoor Lotf AabadiDesigning of structures is the function of operation of them. However, operation of the structures depends on different uncertainties. In practical cases, uncertain parameters are simplified and formulated to certain parameters which are implemented in the designing approach. In this investigation, different structural parameters which bear with uncertainties including loading conditions, strength of materials and geometry of the structural elements … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2019 · 7,681 accessesView PDFCite

Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Aversa Raffaella et al.In this study, the relations to determining mass moments of inertia (mechanical) for different mass and mechanical inertia corresponding to geometric shapes, objects and profiles are explored. The formulas for calculating the mass moments of inertia (mechanical) for various bodies (various geometrical forms), to certain major axis indicated (as the axis of calculation) are presented. The total mass M of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2016 · 11,376 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMuon Anomalous Magnetic Moment in a SU(4) ⊗ U(1)N Model Without Exotic Electric ChargesDiego CogolloWe study an electroweak gauge extension of the standard model, so called 3-4-1 model, which does not contain exotic electric charges and it is anomaly free. We discuss phenomenological constraints of the model and compute all the corrections to the muon magnetic moment. Mainly, we discuss different mass regimes and their impact on this correction, deriving for the first time … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 13 Sep 2015 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA NEW APPROACH OF LOCAL FEATURE DESCRIPTORS USING MOMENT INVARIANTSLee-Yeng Ong, Siong-Hoe Lau, Voon-Chet KooMoment invariants have been widely introduced in recognizing planar objects for a few decades. This is due the robustness of moment function in distinguishing the original identity of object under various two Dimensional (2D) transformations. A set of moments computed from a planar images, represents the global description of an object's shape and geometrical features of an image. Since global … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Dec 2014 · 7,954 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEMPIRICAL LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION BASED ON SIMULATED MOMENT CONDITIONSXing WangIn this study we discuss the optimization of the Empirical Likelihood (EL) criterion function when the moment condition is nonstandard. We deal with this issue following the Method of Simulated Moment (MSM) introduced and we use importance sampling method to smooth discrete moment conditions. We have demonstrated the convergence and asymptotic normality of the empirical likelihood estimator from the simulated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2014 · 6,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Image Dithering Via Tchebichef Moment TransformNur Azman Abu, Ferda Ernawan, Nanna SuryanaMany image display applications and printing devices allow only limited number of colours. They have limited computational power and storage to produce high quality outputs on high bit-depth colour image. A dithering technique is called for here in order to improve the perceptual visual quality of the limited bit-depth images. A dithered image is represented by a natural colour in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 11 Jun 2013 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite

Recently, Tchebichef Moment Transform (TMT) has been introduced in the field of image compression. TMT has been shown to perform better than the standard JPEG image compression. This study presents an adaptive TMT image compression. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 1 Jun 2013 · 7,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAutomatic Palmprint Identification based on High Order Zernike MomentR. Gayathri, P. RamamoorthyProblem statement: Hand geometry contains relatively invariant features of an individual. Palmprint recognition is an efficient biometric solution for authentication system. The existence of several hand-based authentication commercial systems indicates the effectiveness of this type of biometric.
