Starfruit classification based on linear hue computation

In this paper, a classification process to group starfruit into six maturity indices is proposed based on 1- dimensional color feature called hue, which is extracted from the starfruit image. As the original hue is quantified from the nonlinear transformation of the 3-dimensional Red, Green and Blue color, this paper proposes a linear hue transformation computation based on the 2 colors of Red and Green. The proposed hue computation leads to a reduced computational burden, less computational complexity and better class discriminant capability. The hue is then applied as the input for the maturity classification process. The classification process is based on the hypothesis that for each of the maturity index, certain area of the starfruit surface is supposed to have distinctive value of the hue. In this work, the said starfruit surface area is set as 70% of the total area and based on 600 samples, the proposed technique results in 93% classification accuracy

Transformation Mechanisms & Metaphors in Architectural Design of Post Modernism Era Between Type & Model: Analytical Study on Comparison Between the Universities of Baghdad And Al Mustansiriyah

The design output is a representation of several important attitudes and perceptions, which have contributed, and contributes to the generation of the form through special design methods. The architect’s role is to transform the intellectual or physical reference to architectural product using design and architectural composition act or vice versa. The main issue of the search is the lack of a clear perception in determiningthe relationship between two important terms in design (type and model) and their role as tools for producing architectural form. The search is based on a hypothesis that it’s a constant shift cycle from type to model or vice versa or can reached an edge and stopped. The aims is to identify concrete inputs in order to determine aspecific vocabulary frame to shift cycle, and applied this frame to analysis architectural projects in the city of Baghdad. The research contains definitions of model, types, transformation and their mechanisms. In addition, it has a practical part which assists on the election of two examples of architectural works resulting from transformation strategies as full cycle (not equivalent) for architectural product. The last part contains research findings, conclusions and recommendations. Accordingly, the search main conclusion is that the design basis for Baghdad University project as approved formal grounds derived from the old fabric of the city of Baghdad, where the design basis of Al Mustansiriyah University buildings is a model based on inherited Mustansiriya

Investigation on the phytosanitary status of the main stone fruit nurseries and mother plots in Albania

To assess the virus and viroid infections of the most important stone fruits in Albania, surveys were carried out in nurseries, mother plots and commercial orchards in the main fruit tree-growing areas. The presence of viruses and viroids was assessed by visual inspections and laboratory tests. During field surveys, more than 5,000 trees were individually inspected for symptoms expression. A total of 749 trees were tested, and shown to be highly infected (27%) by one or more viruses at the same time; in particular, Sharka infection was detected in all the selected areas and in plants of different origin (nurseries: 29%, mother plants: 13%, and commercial orchards: 29%). Infections by Prunus necrotic leaf spot virus (PNRSV) and Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) were frequent in peach and plum, while Prunus dwarf virus (PDV) was more frequent in cherry. Regarding viroids, 740 samples were tested for Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd); as for viruses, the infection rate was quite high (23%), particularly on peach (60% of tested samples). This study highlights the quite alarming existing situation, especially for the presence of PPV infection in nurseries. Urgent measures should be taken to avoid a serious crisis and deterioration of the fruit tree industry in Albania.Keywords: Albania, stone fruits, viruses, viroids, detection, nursery, mother bloc

Dependencia de la viscosidad de cizalladura en la concentración depseudo plasticidad (oxido de polietileno - xantano) colisión de polímero

Introduction: Its necessary to bear in mind that we life in theword increase industrialization, therefore we make many modifications to material to getting on best characterizations. The aim ofthis research is to Prepare new Pseudo Plasticity Polymer Collide.Materials and Methods: In the present paper effects of xanthancellulose gum (X) on rheological properties of polyethylene oxidepolymer (PEO, 3000 Daltons) included different type of viscosityhas been investigated by using the following parameters: (Spindle:no.1, Speed: 60 rpm and Temperature: RT), different sort of viscosity is computed for a PEO that dissolved in distilled cold waterwith completely different various concentrations (0.1, 0.2 to 0.8)%g/mL once and before adding (0.25 and 0.5) g X for every concentration. Results and Discussion: The results show that all properties of density, shear viscosity, relative viscosity, specific viscosity,reduced viscosity, intrinsic viscosity, viscosity average mass and theeffective molecular radius have been enhanced after the addition ofxanthan. Conclusions: Addition of xanthan are often applied asthicker mixture in coating, oil drilling and pumping of fluids attributable related pseudo physical propert

Linear acenes linked thiophene, electronic and chemical properties: Prospects for molecular organic electronic material

We report a theoretical study of linear acene (n=1 to 7) linked thiophene properties functionality. The total ground state and band gap energies, Coulomb potential and nuclear repulsion energy are calculated by DFT, MP2 at B3LYP exchange level of the theory and 6-311G* basis set. The results are in good agreement with the experimental and theoretical values. It is found that the total ground state energy of the system and band gap energy decreases with an increasing number of electrons in the rings. The addition of thiophene molecules tends to improve the electronic and chemical properties of the linear acenes, the material exhibit potential application in the organic molecular electronic material
