in this research, seeds of iranian carob trees grown wild in kazeroon city (fars province) were used to extract iranian locust bean gum as a seed galactomannan. chemical composition, solubility, and rheological properties of crude and purified gums were investigated and compared with a commercial (sigma) locust bean gum (lbg) sample. chemical composition of the purified iranian lbg was similar ...

Logistics business group (LBG) is an effective organization forms to ease the inconsistency between supply and demand in logistics market as well as to improve the efficiency of collocating logistics resources. Since it’s difficult to measure accurately the capability of LBG, the paper has concentrated on the capability of LBGs based on the idea of NetworkEnabled Capability (NEC). NEC of LBG is...

Vector Quantization (VQ) is a popular image compression technique with a simple decoding architecture and high compression ratio. Codebook designing is the most essential part in Vector Quantization. Linde–Buzo–Gray (LBG) is a traditional method of generation of VQ Codebook which results in lower PSNR value. A Codebook affects the quality of image compression, so the choice of an appropriate co...

An oscillatory capillary rheometer was used to investigate the effects of NaCl, KCl, and CaCl2 on visco-elastic properties of xanthan and locust bean gum (LBG) blends in dilute solution. Gums were evaluated for intrinsic viscosity and elastic component. Molecular conformation of the xanthan–LBG complex was assessed by the power-law and Huggins equations. Addition of any of the three salts reduc...

Compressing the image causes less memory to be used store images. images increases transmission speed of compressed in network. Vector quantization (VQ) is one compression methods. The challenge vector method for non-optimization codebooks. Codebook optimization quality and reduces volume Various methods swarm intelligence meta-heuristics are improve algorithm, but using meta-heuristic based on...

Image registration is the process of transforming different sets of data into one coordinate system. This paper proposed automatic image registration using improved LBG algorithm. LBG Algorithm used k-means to refine these prototypes, this paper proposed improved k-means algorithm to enhance LBG algorithm. Experimental result shows that the proposed image registration method can improve the pre...

compressions which are lossy algorithms. Such algorithms are tolerable for speech data compression since the loss in quality is not perceived by the human ear. However the vector quantization (VQ) has a potential to give more data compression maintaining the same quality. In this paper we propose speech data compression algorithm using vector quantization technique. We have used VQ algorithms L...

In VQ based image compression technique has three major steps namely (i) Codebook Design, (ii) VQ Encoding Process and (iii) VQ Decoding Process. The performance of VQ based image compression technique depends upon the constructed codebook. A widely used technique for VQ codebook design is the Linde-Buzo-Gray (LBG) algorithm. However the performance of the standard LBG algorithm is highly depen...

The paper presents new clustering algorithm. The proposed algorithm gives less distortion as compared to well known Linde Buzo Gray (LBG) algorithm and Kekre’s Proportionate Error (KPE) Algorithm. Constant error is added every time to split the clusters in LBG, resulting in formation of cluster in one direction which is 135 in 2-dimensional case. Because of this reason clustering is inefficient...

The relationship between the rheological behavior and microstructure of glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) induced cold-set soybean glycinin (Gly)–locust bean gum (LBG) mixed gels was studied. In the presence of 0.05%, 0.10% and 0.15% w/v LBG, the onset of Gly network formation (4.0%, w/v) occurred progressively earlier and the viscoelastic modulus was enhanced significantly as the LBG concentration incre...
