Blind image separation based on exponentiated transmuted Weibull distribution
In recent years the processing of blind image separation has been
investigated. As a result, a number of feature extraction algorithms for direct
application of such image structures have been developed. For example,
separation of mixed fingerprints found in any crime scene, in which a mixture
of two or more fingerprints may be obtained, for identification, we have to
separate them. In this paper, we have proposed a new technique for separating a
multiple mixed images based on exponentiated transmuted Weibull distribution.
To adaptively estimate the parameters of such score functions, an efficient
method based on maximum likelihood and genetic algorithm will be used. We also
calculate the accuracy of this proposed distribution and compare the
algorithmic performance using the efficient approach with other previous
generalized distributions. We find from the numerical results that the proposed
distribution has flexibility and an efficient resultComment: 14 pages, 12 figures, 4 tables. International Journal of Computer

A review on formability prediction and constitutive damage models of sheet forming of magnesium alloys
In recent years, the demand for using magnesium (Mg) alloys has significantly increased in several industrial fields. Due to their favorable strength/weight ratio thus Mg alloy demonstrating a valid replacement for aluminum alloys and High Strength Steels particularly for the production of lightweight parts in aerospace and automotive industries. However the formability of Mg at cold forming conditions is significantly poor and determination of the material formability need special testing procedures and understanding of material failure mechanism. FLD is commonly used to characterize the formability of materials and the key feature of FLD is the forming limit curve (FLC). This paper provides a review on the determination of strain-based and stress-based forming limit diagrams is introduced in this paper. In addition, the constitutive damage models for predicting and characterizing the forming limits of magnesium alloy sheet metals under a wide range of forming conditions at both industrial and scientific level
The Influence Of Reconstitution Vehicles On The Stability Of Ampicillin Oral Powders
The effect of different reconstitution vehicles on the stability of ampicillin oral powders was studied. Distilled water, tap water and well water were used for powder reconstitution. The suspensions were stored at 350C that representing the average room temperature in Sudan. The stability of the drug in suspension was tested daily over a period of seven days. The drug contents in the samples were determined using the cup- plate agar diffusion technique and chemical spectrophotometric method. The obtained results, represented the means of 10-20 determinations. The study revealed a higher degradation extent in the ampicillin oral powders reconstituted with water obtained from wells, followed by tap water when compared with the slower rate of degradation in the oral antibiotic that reconstituted with distilled water. In an attempt to decrease the destabilizing effect of the reconstitution vehicles on the daily used oral antibiotic powders, the authors suggested to use such formulae in a single-dose sachet form to be used instantly after reconstitution
