The Journal of Engineering Research
In (Ku et al. 2003), the authors have proposed a construction of edge-disjoint spanning trees EDSTs in undirected product networks. Their construction method focuses more on showing the existence of a maximum number (n1+n2-1) of EDSTs in product network of two graphs, where factor graphs have respectively n1 and n2 EDSTs. In this paper, we propose a new systematic and algorithmic approach to construct (n1+n2) directed routed EDST in the product networks. The direction of an edge is added to support bidirectional links in interconnection networks. Our EDSTs can be used straightforward to develop efficient collective communication algorithms for both …

Mobility Assisted Sensor Node Self-Deployment For Maximizing The Coverage Of Wireless Sensor Networks Using A Genetic Algorithm, Vv Juli, J Raja
The Journal of Engineering Research
Wireless sensor networks extend the capability to monitor and control far-flung environments. However, sensor nodes must be deployed appropriately to reach an adequate coverage level for the successful acquisition of data. Modern sensing devices are able to move from one place to another for different purposes and constitute the mobile sensor network. This mobile sensor capability could be used to enhance the coverage of the sensor network. Since mobile sensor nodes have limited capabilities and power constraints, the algorithms which drive the sensors to optimal locations should extend the coverage. It should also reduce the power needed to move the …

Mimo Channel Gain Mechanisms Relative To Siso Channel, A. A. Abouda, N.G. Tarhuni
The Journal of Engineering Research
In contrast to the rest of wireless communication technologies, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology enjoys different gain mechanisms that make it very attractive for reliable high data rate wireless communications. This paper presents a study on these gain mechanisms with particular emphasis on the case of high average received signal to noise ratio (SNR) where the MIMO system deployment is most promising. We write the MIMO channel capacity in terms of gains relative to a single- input single-output (SISO) wireless channel. Doing so, spatial multiplexing gain and power gain of MIMO wireless channels become more insightful. Based on this analysis a …

A Multi-Resolution Texture Image Retrieval Using Fast Fourier Transform, A. Abdesselam
A Multi-Resolution Texture Image Retrieval Using Fast Fourier Transform, A. Abdesselam
The Journal of Engineering Research
Texture is an important visual property that characterizes a wide range of natural and artificial images which makes it a useful feature for retrieving images. Several approaches have been proposed to describe the texture contents of an image. In early research works, such as edge histograms-based techniques and co-occurrence-based approaches, texture descriptors were mainly extracted from the spatial domain. Later on, dual spaces (transform of spatial domain) such as frequency space or spaces resulting from Gabor or wavelet transforms were explored for texture characterization. Recent physiological studies showed that human visual system can be modeled as a set of independent …

It is focused on the modeling via Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) modeling procedure and the employment of fuzzy clustering to generate suitable initial membership functions. The T-S fuzzy modeling has been applied to model a nonlinear antenna dynamic system with two coupled inputs and outputs. Compared to other well-known approximation techniques such as artificial neural networks, the employed neuro-fuzzy system has provided a more transparent representation of the nonlinear antenna system under study, mainly due to the possible linguistic interpretation in the form of rules.
