AN IMPROVED METHOD OF COMPUTING METEOROLOGICAL NORMALS1

An Improved Method of Computing Scale-Orientation Signatures

Scale-Orientation Pixel Signatures provide a rich description of the neighbourhood around each image pixel. In Computer-Aided Mammography these signatures can be used as feature vectors for the classification of pixels as normal or abnormal. Previous work has focussed on the use of signatures in the classification process. In this paper we explain how signatures are generated and provide a crit...

An improved HPLC method for determination of colocynthin in colocynth

Background and objectives: Colocynthin is the major active secondary metabolite of colocynth, Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad, which has been used in traditional and ethno medicine of many countries.  It could be considered as an active marker for quality control of colocynth and its herbal products. Analysis and standardization of colocynth and its herbal preparations are a critical...

An Elementary Method for Computing the Kostka Coefficients

An Improved MPPT Method of Wind Turbine Based on HCS Method by Using Fuzzy Logic System

In this paper presents a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique based on the Hill Climbing Search (HCS) method and fuzzy logic system for Wind Turbines (WTs) including of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) as generator. In the conventional HCS method the step size is constant, therefor both steady-state response and dynamic response of method cannot provide at the same time an...

An Improved Algorithmic Method for Software Development Effort Estimation

Accurate estimating is one of the most important activities in the field of software project management. Different aspects of software projects must be estimated among which time and effort are of significant importance to efficient project planning. Due to complexity of software projects and lack of information at the early stages of project, reliable effort estimation is a challenging issue. ...
