Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSTRUCTURAL AND OPERATIONAL COMPLEXITY OF MANUAL ASSEMBLY SYSTEMSAtiya Al-ZuheriIncreased complexity is one of the biggest challenges in assembly industry today. Designing and implementing manual assembly systems require identifying operational and structural complexity sources inherent with these systems. Lack of this fact causes inaccuracy in the results from the system application. This study details sources of both types of complexity in manual assembly systems. Also, the paper will present … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2013 · 6,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalytical Fractured Reservoir Characterization by using Geological and Petrophysical LogsZohreh Movahed, Farzaneh AghajariDue to structural complexities in some wells, higher than the expected thickness of the Asmari formation is found. Fracture intensity and deep-rooted fractures broadly increase the risk of unpredictable water production. The well-test analysis is not sufficient in describing fracture properties. Unfortunately, the core condition is poor in the fractured zones and cannot be used to provide reliable information. So, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 3 Dec 2022 · 9,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign Dynamic Coupling Measurement of Distributed Object Oriented Software Using Trace EventsS. Babu, R. M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: A common way to define and measure coupling is through structural properties and static code analysis. However, because of polymorphism, dynamic binding and the common presence of unused code in commercial software, the resulting coupling measures are imprecise as they do not perfectly reflect the actual coupling taking place among classes at run-time. For example, when using static … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 6,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDual-Branch Shape Texture Learning With Pyramid Residual and Sobel Edge Layers for Rice Variety ClassificationM Pradeep, M SiddappaAutomated rice variety classification categorizes rice types based on features, such as grain texture, shape, color, and size. Traditional handcrafted feature-based models fail at rice classification due to lighting variations, background noise, and environmental conditions, leading to overlapping visual characteristics and frequent misclassification. To address these challenges, this research proposes a novel Dual-Branch Convolutional Neural Network with Pyramid Residual Units … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 9 · 24 Sep 2026 · 627 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Approaches for Cocoa Pod Disease DetectionHenry Techie-Menson, Michael Asante, Yaw Marfo Missah et al.Cocoa pod diseases destroy an estimated 700,000 metric tons of cocoa annually, threatening 40–50 million smallholder farmers across tropical regions. Accurate field diagnosis remains constrained by symptom similarity, labour-intensive scouting, and limited specialist access in remote communities. This paper presents a PRISMA-guided systematic review of 25 peer-reviewed studies on automated cocoa pod disease detection and classification (2016–2026), addressing architectural approaches, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2026 · 733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Modified Enhancement Method for Dental Images - Towards the Effective Detection of Dental DisordersKrishnaveni R, Sudarmani RDental health maintenance is essential for overall physiological well-being, and X-ray imaging remains a fundamental diagnostic tool for comprehensive dental examination. While direct clinical observation by dentists is primary, computer-aided diagnostic tools serve as valuable secondary readers, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. This study proposes and evaluates the Gaussian CLAHE Enhancement (GCE) method, which combines Gaussian filtering (GF) with Contrast … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 11 · 18 Dec 2025 · 1,716 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractTopological Approaches to Mechatronic Systems: A ReviewJean Bosco Samon, Damasse Harold TchouazongAn interest in the mechanical topology approach is to reduce the mass considerably in order to minimize the costs of manufacturing, transporting and purchasing products. The same interest can be found in mechatronic topological approaches where many disciplines should be fit together, facing therefore many and variant constraints. Distinguish topological approaches are found in the literature. Many are more specific … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 24 Jan 2022 · 6,707 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Design Rule for Glass Structures by Persian CurveAbdolrasoul Ranjbaran, Mohammad Ranjbaran, Fatema RanjbaranGlass is being increasingly used as a structural material. Its favorable aesthetic qualities have made it popular with modern designers. Recently glass is used for major structural elements such as beams and columns in modern and innovative architectural applications. High slenderness ratios and brittle behavior in tension contribute to the complexity of stability and ultimate strength analysis of glass structures. … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2021 · 8,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Temperature Dependency of Laminated Glass Subjected to Blast Load – A Numerical StudyMatthias FörchThe behavior of laminated glass has strong time-temperature dependency. Viscoelastic material models are often employed to define mechanical properties of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), the most common interlayer for structural glass applications. However, it is an apparent notion to simplify the high complexity of such material models, as only specific software is capable of considering this behavior. Most studies in blast … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2020 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
