The postharvest storage process is a highly nonlinear one involving heat and mass transfer. The need to capture these nonlinearities demands the use of intelligent models. In this study a neural network model (for a potato storage process) was normalized using the standard deviation technique and optimized through different combinations of network

The use of full rainfall rate distribution for the prediction of rain attenuation over terrestrial microwave links in Malaysia is presented in this letter. The experimental data consist of four-year measured rainfall rates and one-year rain attenuation measurements over six geographically spread DIGI MINI-LINKs operating at 15 GHz. The test results

Serum leptin increases with progressive obesity in both genders. However, for any given measure of obesity, leptin levels are higher in women than men. This research is to study the gender differences of the fasting plasma leptin concentration in Malaysian people from east coast Malaysia with a back ground knowledge of ethnic variation. To be as a

Cross polarization in microwave link, method of using dual orthogonal polarizations to optimally conserve the frequency spectrum, has received considerable interest in the recent time. This paper implicitly discusses its prediction in sand and dust storms. Cross polarization in dust storms occurs due to the non-sphericity of the falling dust partic

An improved method for predicting slant path attenuation in tropical climates is presented in this paper. The proposed approach is based on rain intensity data R0.01 (mm/h) from 37 tropical and equatorial stations; and is validated by using the measurement data from a few localities in tropical climates. The new method seems to accurately predict t

Online recognition of Arabic handwritten text has been an ongoing research problem for many years. Generally, online text recognition field has been gaining more interest lately due to the increasing popularity of hand-held computers, digital notebooks and advanced cellular phones. Most of the online text recognition systems consist of three main p
