Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNovel Approach to Determine the Effects of MS Environment using the Portable GPS Receiver with Built-in AntennaWan Azlan Wan Zainal Abidin, Kiyotaka Fujisaki, Mitsuo TateibaCommunication impairment on the Mobile Satellite (MS) path for non-geostationary satellite is mainly due to effect of multipath and shadowing. In order to study the signal quality received by the MS user, a receiver system that has similar characteristics to the actual receiver used by the MS user should be used. This study presents a novel approach to determine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,576 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENSURING EFFICIENCY CONTROL OF INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE CLUSTERNina Ivanovna Larionova, Tatiana Valerievna Yalyalieva, Dmitry Leonidovich NapolskikhAs experience of the developed countries shows, the best solutions to the problems related to ensuring competitiveness of enterprises can be found within clusters. Drawing up mechanisms for government regulation of the cluster will facilitate formulation of strategies and plans of cluster development which is an important competitive advantage of the modern economy. The purpose of this study is to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 22 Sep 2014 · 6,806 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUBIQUITOUS PALM DISPLAY AND FINGERTIP TRACKER SYSTEM USING OPENCVSathish Sekar, Shriram K. Vasudevan, Kaushik Velusamy et al.Ubiquitous Computing is the idea of embedding computation onto everyday objects of the environment we live in. It’s the approach towards making technology and computation available everywhere thereby making people interact with abundant information around them in a more natural and friendly manner. Our project, the palm display system is one such approach of using one’s palm as the graphical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 22 Nov 2013 · 6,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Spatial Distribution of Apis Dorsata Host Plants Using an Integrated Geographical Information System-Remote Sensing ApproachIzzat F. Ibrahim, Siva K. Balasundram, Nur-Ashikin P. Abdullah et al.Apis dorsata is one of the important honeybee species in tropical and subtropical regions that forages on various plants including herbs, grasses, forest trees and plantation trees. However, information on the spatial distribution of various pollen sources of Apis dorsata is still lacking. This study aimed at mapping the spatial distribution of the major honeybee plants that serve as pollen … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,585 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Volume Shadow using Visible-Non Visible AlgorithmHoshang Kolivand, Mohd Shahrizal Sunar, Azam Amirshakarami, Zhila RanjbariProblem statement: Shadows are most important effect to make realistic games and visually appealing images, but they are poor in frame per second. Silhouette detection is most important phases to create real-time shadow. Approach: Present study describes a real-time shadow generated with volume shadow algorithm using Visible-Non Visible algorithm (VNV) in virtual environment illuminated by a movable light source to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,988 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordWeed Detection over Between-Row of Sugarcane Fields Using Machine Vision with Shadow Robustness Technique for Variable Rate Herbicide ApplicatorA. Muangkasem, S. Thainimit, R. Keinprasit, T. IsshikiProblem statement: Uniformly herbicide rate is used as a conventional practice in Thailand for controlling weeds in sugarcane fields. Since weeds usually grow in certain areas with non-uniformly distribution, uniform herbicide rate approach is not suitable and non-sustainable agricultural technique both in terms of economic an environmental aspect. To address these issues, Variable Herbicide Rate (VHR) was introduced. The VHR … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,232 accessesView PDF Cite
