Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRadiation Hazards Due to Radon Concentrations in Dwellings of Kufa Technical Institute, 'Iraq'Ali Abid Abojassim Al-Hamidawi, Afnan Ali HusainRadon concentrations were measured in Kufa dwellings of the technical institute, Al-Najaf- Iraq using LR-115 type II plastic track detectors. Additionally, annual effective dose and the excess lifetime cancer risk for the aforementioned dwellings were calculated. The results demonstrate that the radon concentration ranged from 37.4±6.4 Bq/m3 to 55.7±12.0 Bq/m3 with an average of 46.2±8.2 Bq/m3. The latter is found … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 8,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMEASUREMENT OF RADON EXHALATION RATE, RADIUM ACTIVITY AND ANNUAL EFFECTIVE DOSE FROM BRICKS AND CEMENT SAMPLES COLLECTED FROM DERA ISMAIL KHANNisar Ahmad, Mohamad Suhaimi Jaafar, Sohail Aziz Khan et al.Radon concentration, exhalation rate, radium activity and annual effective dose have been measured from baked and unbaked bricks and cement samples commonly used as construction material in the dwellings of Dera Ismail Khan City, Pakistan. CR-39 based NRPB radon dosimeters and RAD7 have been used as passive and active devises. The values of radon concentration for baked, unbaked bricks and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Dec 2013 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMotion Detection and Projection Based Block Motion Estimation Using the Radon Transform for Video CodingShilpa P. Metkar, Sanjay N. TalbarProblem statement: Motion estimation and compensation is the most computationally complex module of video coder. In this study, an innovative algorithm was proposed for a further complexity reduction of the Motion Estimation (ME) module of video coder by employing motion detection prior to motion compensation. Approach: A Motion Detection (MD) module can be added to the video coder in order … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Overview on Studying 222Rn Exhalation Rates using Passive Technique Solid-State Nuclear Track DetectorsMohamed Abd-ElzaherProblem statement: Uranium is a radiotoxic element found in trace quantities in alomost all natural accurring materials like soil, rock. Radon an inert radioactive gas whose predecessor in uranium, is emitted from soil beneath the house and from building materials. Accurate knowledge of exhalation rate plays an important role in characterization of the radon source strength in some building materials … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHighway Traffic Incident Detection using High-Resolution Aerial Remote Sensing ImagerySeyed Mostafa Mousavi Kahaki, Md. Jan NordinProblem statement: As vehicle population increases, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) become more significant and mandatory in today’s overpopulated world. Vital problems in transportation such as mobility and safety of transportation are considered more, especially in metropolitans and highways. The main road traffic monitoring aims are: the acquisition and analysis of traffic figures, such as number of vehicles, incident detection and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,707 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Effective Method for the Recognition and Verification of Bangladeshi Vehicle Digital Number PlatesMd. Ashraful Islam, Ahsan HabibIn this study, an effective and automatic technique has been proposed to detect, recognize and verify Bangladeshi number plates. There are four steps in the proposed method: Pre-processing, extraction and segmentation, recognition and verification of the number plate. Image contrast-enhancing and tilt correction techniques are used in the proposed method. Different techniques like edge detection, morphological operations, bounding box method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 11 · 20 Nov 2021 · 6,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMultilevel Classifier in Recognition of Handwritten Arabic CharactersRawan Ismail Zaghloul, Enas Faisal AlRawashdeh, Dojanah Mohammad Kadri BaderProblem statement: Arabic offline handwriting recognition is considered one of the most challenging topics. This is probably caused by the fact that Arabic recognition system faced many problems during the development stage. It faces the usual problems of character recognition in general, in addition to the problems that are specific to Arabic language only. The aim of this study was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarmonic Mean Projection Shape Transform for Leaf ClassificationSophia Jamila Zahra, Riza Sulaiman, Seyed M.M. Kahaki, Anton Satria PrabuwonoShape feature extraction has emerged as an important part of computer vision and image processing applications. Identification of shape objects in huge data based on shape similarity still remains a challenging problem due to the similarity of the shapes and existing of classes with similar contour information. This paper presents to investigate the shape analysis for plant leaf classification by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 9 · 13 Sep 2020 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Automatic Inspection System for the Classification of PCB Flux DefectsAng Teoh Ong, Aouache Mustapha, Zulkifilie Bin Ibrahim et al.Automatic inspection based on a real-time machine vision system may serve as substitute for the manual human visual inspection of flux defects in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), which often cause damage on the board in the form of corrosions that harm the assembly. The concept of automatic inspection contributes to the improvement of the manufacturing quality of PCBs and facilitates … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Aug 2015 · 8,708 accessesView PDFCite
