Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIterative Process to Improve Simple Adaptive Subdivision Surfaces Method for Triangular MeshesNoor Asma Husain, Mohd Shafry Mohd Rahim, Abdullah BadeProblem statement: Subdivision surfaces were applied to the entire meshes in order to produce smooth surfaces refinement from coarse mesh. Several schemes had been introduced in this area to provide a set of rules to converge smooth surfaces. However, to compute and render all the vertices are really inconvenient in terms of memory consumption and runtime during the subdivision process. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRepresentation of Polygonal Surfaces as Displaced Subdivision SurfacesMuhammad HussainProblem statement: Displaced subdivision representation possesses a number of attractive features for efficient and convenient processing tasks like editing, geometry compression, animation, scalability and adaptive rendering of polygonal models. In this representation, a detailed surface model was built as a scalar-valued displacement map over a smooth domain surface. The construction of the smooth domain surface from a polygonal model was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiversity and Resistance of Bacteria Isolated from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Surfaces and the Hands of Nurses in Jeddah-Saudi ArabiaRoqaiah M. Al-Jabri, Ahmed M. Al-Hejin, Rukaia Gashgari et al.Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are a serious problem for neonates when admitted to NICUs. The healthcare environment and healthcare workers' hands may be a source of transmission. Therefore, there is a need to find microbial sources and identify the contaminants to improve disinfection protocols to reduce HAIs. Out of the 169 samples collected on nutrient agar media from NICUs of a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2022 · 5,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterization of the Earth's Surface State by Unsupervised Classification: Case of Vegetated, Aquatic and Mineral SurfacesJean-Claude Okaingni, Sié Ouattara, Adles Kouassi, Alain ClémentIn this study, we propose an unsupervised classification scheme based on the Dempster-Shafer Theory (TDS) and the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) to characterize vegetated, aquatic and mineral surfaces. From pre-processed ASTER satellite images (georeferencing, geometric correction and 15 m re-sampling), neo-channels were produced by determining the spectral indices NDVI, MNDWI and NDBaI, considered as sources of information for classification of a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 27 Aug 2018 · 8,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHIGH IMPEDANCE SURFACES FOR FLEXIBLE AND CONFORMAL WIRELESS SYSTEMSHaider R. Khaleel, Hussain M. Al-Rizzo, Ayman Issac, Said AbushamlehRecent years have witnessed a great deal of interest from both scientific and academic communities in the field of flexible electronic systems. Most flexible electronic systems require the integration of flexible antennas operating in specific frequency bands to provide wireless connectivity which is highly demanded by today’s network oriented society. On the other hand, High Impedance Surfaces have become very … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2014 · 7,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSplit-Quaternionic Representation of the Moving Frame for Timelike Surfaces in 3-Dimensional Minkowski SpacetimePaul BrackenThe moving frame and associated Gauss-Codazzi equations for surfaces in Minkowski three space are introduced. A split-quaternionic representation is used to identify the Gauss-Weingarten equations with a Lax pair representation. This Lax pair representaion is calculated and given explicitly. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEmissivity of Triangular Surfaces Determined by Differential Method: From Homogenization to Validity Limit of Geometrical OpticsTaoufik Ghabara, Faouzi Ghmari, M. S. SifaouiGeometric optics approximation for emissivity from triangular surfaces was compared with exact scattering predictions from electromagnetic theory. Rigorous electromagnetic scattering theory was numerically formulated based on the differential method. We have used a numerical simulation of the emissivity of gold and tungsten for a wavelength equal 0.55 micron to explore the validity of the geometric optics. Surface parameter domains for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,142 accessesView PDFCite
