This paper presents an overview of Feature Extraction techniques for off-line recognition of isolated Gurumukhi numerals/characters. Selection of Feature Extraction method is probably the single most important factor in achieving high performance in pattern recognition. Our paper presents Zone based hybrid approach which is the combination of image centroid zone and zone centroid zone of numera...

Following the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes, most of modern structures damaged seriously or devastated totally despite the seismic codes of these countries that had been expected to bear advanced criteria for seismic design of structures. After extensive research, the most probable reason of those destructions was attributed to special specifications of near-field earthquakes. In th...

IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2,3-dichloro-benzene-1,4-diol 2,3-dichloro-cyclo-hexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione monohydrate), C(6)H(4)Cl(2)O(2)·C(6)H(2)Cl(2)O(2)·H(2)O, the 2,3-dichloro-1,4-hydro-quinone donor (D) and the 2,3-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone acceptor (A) mol-ecules form alternating stacks along [100]. Their mol-ecular planes [maximum deviations for non-H ato...

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) has been extensively used for examining potential failures in products, processes, designs and services. An important issue of FMEA is the determination of risk priorities of the failure modes that have been identified. The traditional FMEA determines the risk priorities of failure modes using the so-called risk priority numbers (RPNs), which require the...

The title compound, C(18)H(16)NOP·C(3)H(8)O, was synthesized by the reduction of (3-nitro-phen-yl)diphenyl-phosphine oxide in the presence of 2-propanol as recrystallization solvent. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each P atom is tetra-coordinated by three C and one O atom from two phenyl fragments, one aniline group and one double-bonded O atom in a distorted tetra-hedral geome...

In the title compound, [Zn(C(14)H(17)N(5)O(3))(C(9)H(4)O(6))(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O, the complex mol-ecule exists in a zwitterionic form. The Zn(II) ion exhibits a distorted tetra-gonal-pyramidal geometry, being coordinated by two O atoms from the zwitterionic 8-ethyl-5-oxo-2-(piperazin-4-ium-1-yl)-5,8-dihydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxyl-ate (L) ligand, one O atom from the 5-carb-oxy-benzene-1...

Simple and fast feature extraction methods are in need today for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) and object recognition applications. The work presented in this paper is contour based one dimensional shape feature extraction technique for closed contour objects. The continuous contour is normalized into ‘N’ representative points. The sector area based object area normalization (OAN) techni...

-In Wireless sensor network (WSN), estimating the exact position of sensor node is an important research problem and its location accuracy impacts the efficiency of localization algorithms. In this paper improved centroid range free localization method is proposed and comparison with conventional centroid is done by varying different parameters such as anchor nodes, communication range and node...

We establish several results regarding the algebra of derivations of tensor product of two algebras, and its connection to finite order automorphisms. These results generalize some well-know theorems in the literature. Dedicated to Professor Bruce Allison on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday 0. Introduction In 1969, R. E. Block [B] showed that the algebra of derivations of tensor product of...
