Intelligent video surveillance system deal's with the real-time monitoring of persistent and transient objects within a specific environment. In existing video surveillance using CCTV (close circuit television) works with binary segmentation algorithm and it had critical pre processing steps in various high level computer vision application. This can be applied not only in security systems, but also uses in environmental surveillance. The basic principle of moving object detecting is given by the Background Subtraction algorithm. Then, a self-adaptive background model that can update automatically and timely to adapt to the slow and slight changes of natural environment is detailed. When the subtraction of the current captured image and the background reaches a certain threshold, a moving object is considered to be in the current view, and the mobile phone will automatically notify the central control unit and automatic alerting system alert the authorized user through SMS and user can view the detected image by GPRS enabled mobile devices.
The aim of this research paper is to provide an overview on the course of negotiations of Algeria to join the World Trade Organization, since more than a quarter century the negotiations remain moving slowly and know sometimes stopping, which made it difficult way for Algeria to join WTO, and The presence of other obstacles like: unstable business environment, and some policies that do not compatible with WTO agreements Did not give enough guarantees for the negotiation parties, and for the bilateral negotiations with the European Union and the United States it seems that will be difficult to reached.

Computational research for peptide vaccine against aeromonal protein has been Published. In this study, the complete genome sequence of a virulent Aeromonas hydrophila strain was retrieved from genomic database. We screened the genome and identify the protein which was least similar to the human. Antigen determinant peptide was predicted with different databases and ASA calculation. Identified antigen was designed 3D model and simulation was performed in discovery studio from the docking study. We identify LATL determinant were the best peptide having CDocker energy 76.1367Kcal/mol. As this peptide was transmembrane protein it can be best potential vaccine.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of three drying temperatures (60, 70 and 80°C) on quality attributes of mango slices. The investigated quality attributes were: color change and rehydration ratio of dried mango slices. Result showed that drying temperatures had great effect on the quality attributes of mango slices. The color was measured from the surface and expressed in the Hunter L*a*b* system. Moreover, the total color change (?E), chroma (color saturation), hue angle and browning index (BI) were determined. L* and b* parameters were found to decrease as affected by drying temperature and drying time, whereas a* parameter increases. Results also indicated that drying time has significant effect on color change and rehydration ratio. The lowest total color change and highest rehydration ratio were obtained at drying air temperature of 80°C then 70°C and finally 60°C with drying time of 3,5 and 7 hours, respectively. In contrast to common practice, drying at elevated air temperature (80°C), instead of 60°C for a longer time, was optimal, since significant color changes of mango slices were not observed. Moreover, at increased temperature, drying time was considerably shortened from about 7 h to 3h, resulting in significant extension of drying capacity.
This study investigated the causality of the relationship between life insurance business and economic growth of Nigeria for the period 2000-2011. Pearson's Product Movement Correlation Coefficient was used to test the hypothesis to determine the extent of the causality of the relationship between life insurance business and economic growth. The researcher graphically measured the ratio of life insurance premium to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The study revealed that there was significant causal relationship between life insurance business and economic growth of Nigeria. It was also discovered that despite the high degree of the causality of the relationship between life insurance premium and GDP, that life insurance premium has not been able to make a meaningful contribution to economic growth of the country. The study concluded that life insurance business has not effectively contributed to the growth of Nigeria economy due to low consumption, and that individual and corporate organizations have failed to embrace life insurance policies in Nigeria. The researcher therefore, recommended that National insurance commission (NAICOM) should enforce the compulsory group life insurance policy, and ensure that there is high level of transparency initiative and efficiency in Nigeria insurance industry. This would go a long way in mitigating the factors that hinder individuals and organizations in embracing life insurance policies in Nigeria.
This study examined the significance relationship that exists between insurance investment and the Nigeria capital market, and the significance relationship that exists between total insurance business and economic growth of Nigeria for the period 2000-2011. The Pearson's Product Movement Correlation Coefficient was used to test the hypotheses to determine the extent of correlation, while the t-test was used to find out the significance of the relationship that exists between the variables. The study discovered that there was a significant relationship between Nigeria Insurance market investment and capital market, and there was also a significant relationship between Insurance business and economic growth. The study concluded that Insurance business is a business that have allowed different risk to be managed more efficiently, boosting financial stability, mobilization of domestic saving and accumulation of new capital that enhance the performance of the Nigeria Capital market and Economic Growth. The researchers therefore recommended that National insurance commission (NAICOM) should make policy that will enhance effective growth and development of insurance business in Nigeria and ensures that cooperate organizations and individual embraces the compulsory insurance business in Nigeria.
Bubble point pressure is the most crucial Pressure-Volume-Temperature property of reservoir fluid, which plays a critical role in almost all tasks related to reservoir and production engineering. There are numerous approaches for predicting various Bubble point pressure properties, namely, empirical correlations and few computational intelligence schemes. The achievements of Neural Networks (NN), Fuzzy Logic (FL) Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Expert System (ES) alone open the door to the Hybrid Systems; a genetically optimized neural network (GA-ANN) and Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) modeling techniques to play a major role in petroleum industry. In this paper, a novel comprehensive approach to the prediction of the bubble point pressure (Pb) using two hybrid systems (GA-ANN and NF) and Expert System is introduced. A total of about 160 data points from Middle East oil samples were used. Twenty three correlations of Pb are integrated to develop Expert System. The performance of the proposed techniques is compared against performance of the most accurate general correlations for Pb calculation. Statistical error analysis was also used to check the validation of the proposed techniques. From the results of this study, it can be pointed out that these methods are more accurate and reliable.
Water logging, heavy metals contamination, energy crisis and pest control are some serious environmental problem that affects valuable agriculture lands, production and affect other organisms directly and indirectly. Many convention techniques are used to remediate pests, water logging and heavy metals pollution. However these techniques require extensive operation and management practices. Biotechnology and bioremediation provide some of the most economically and environmentally sound techniques for the environmental pollution. This review paper discusses the potential of Eucalyptus in the remediation of environmental problems.
The ferrofluid Fe3O4/water had been prepared by chemical precipitation method and stabilized by the addition of long chain of polybutadien polymer. A Microwave technique (transmitter- receiver) has been used to measure the void fraction in two-phase ferrofluid flow. The system of the Microwave technique consists of transmitter of microwave generated by Gunns diode. New theoretical equations were derived. In this radio-absorption technique, because the relative difference of absorption of microwave energies between air and ferrofluid the idea is valid in somehow.
Efficient drying of cereals, pulses and pellets in rural India has always been hindered in rainy seasons and during cloudy days. This can lead to wastage of agricultural products during storage in both farms and individual homes. We present the method of designing a Fluidized Bed Dryer for drying purposes. This simple and efficient system based on the fluidization process has been designed in SolidWorks software. The design has been thermally analyzed using Ansys. Stress analysis and flow simulation has also been carried out using Ansys. Our studies showed that the design can withstand the working conditions and hence a compact working model of the design was fabricated. Further tests and experiments can be conducted on the fabricated model for other uses including polishing and smoothening of rough particles for industry. We conclude that the design can effectively be used in for drying purpose both at domestic and industrial scale.
