Forecasting the compressive strength of concrete is a complex task owing to interactions among ingredients. In addition, an important characteristic failure surface its six-fold symmetry. this study, artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) were employed model natural volcanic ash mortar (VAM) by using symmetry failure. The modeling was correlated with f...

Accepted : June, 2009 Mango is one of the most popular fruit crops grown in tropical and subtropical countries. It is considered as ‘National fruit of India’ and is rightly called as ‘king of fruits’ due to unique taste, flavour and is popular within all sections of society. Mango is cultivated vegetatively by adopting several techniques like inarching, budding, stone grafting but veneer grafti...

The emotions are generally measured by analyzing either head movement patterns or eyelid movements or face expressions or all the lasts together. Concerning emotion recognition visual sensing of face expressions is helpful but generally not always sufficient. Therefore, one needs additional information that can be collected in a non-intrusive manner in order to increase the robustness. We find ...

Cloud computing introduces a new paradigm shift in service delivery models. However, the potential benefits reaped from the adoption of this model are threatened by public accessibility of the cloud-hosted services and sharing of resources. This increases the possibility of malicious service attacks. Existing cloud platforms do not provide a means to validate the security of offered cloud servi...

Growing resistant cultivars is the best method of protecting the crops against Potato virus Y (PVY). There are a few sources of PVY resistance/tolerance in tobacco acquired through mass selection, X-ray induced mutagenesis and introgressions from wild Nicotiana species. Here, we compare major sources of PVY resistance/tolerance in inoculation tests using ten PVY isolates collected in Central Eu...

The purpose of this study was to see the effect giving Vesicle Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM) on vegetative growth white corn (Zea mays L), distance treatment plant and interaction both them corn. This used a randomized block design (RBD) factorial with two-factor three replications. first factor is VAM (A) various doses consisting A1 (10 g/plot), A2 (20 g/plot) A3 (30 while second spacing (J) si...

Poor attention of drivers towards driving can cause accidents that can harm the driver or surrounding people. The poor attention is not only caused by the drowsiness of the driver but also due to the various emotions/moods (for example sad, angry, joy, pleasure, despair and irritation) of the driver. The emotions are generally measured by analyzing either head movement patterns or eyelid moveme...

Action guidance, like perceptual discrimination, requires selective attention. Perception is enhanced at the target of a reaching movement, but it is not known whether selecting an object for perception reciprocally prioritises it for action. Two theoretical frameworks, the premotor theory and the Visual Attention Model, predict that this reciprocal relation should hold. We tested the influence...
