Some melting point apparatus are based on manual process in which users have to keep continuously focus on capillary tube till melting point achieved. While some melting point apparatus are digitally or automatically operated and there is no need of operator’s attention. In this paper novel algorithm is proposed for melting point detection of any chemical substance. proposed algorithm is based on change detection technique, it computes pixel value differencing at particular coordinate of two consecutive frames generated by real time video. Difference is compared with threshold value, when pixel value difference crosses the threshold the temperature at that instant recorded as melting point of chemical substance, Proposed algorithm determined melting point of Sodium bicarbonate, D-glucose, Sodium Nitrate, Potassium nitrate and magnesium nitrate with maximum accuracy 98.8% for Potassium nitrate.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Further, the results obtained from W-CODAS method are compared with well-known methods AHP and TOPSIS and validated by Kendall's tau correlation test. The results of the present research based on W-CODAS show that the e-government website of Finland is placed at the top position (Rank 1) followed by UK.

An observation of the recorded images of plasma light emission can lead to a new discovery or help to optimize the operational parameters for the experiment. An unusual plasma discharge, which may cause damage to the device, is expected to be foreseen through a prediction method. Due to the shortage of videos having such unusual emissions, the generation of more videos having similar phenomenon is required. However, video generation is a very challenging issue as the videos should have not only similarity in features in the real one but also a plausibility in frame-by-frame transition, especially in the case of plasma discharges. Thus, this paper proposes a method to generate a video containing plasma light emission using generative adversarial network (GAN). It has been confirmed that the proposed generative model can produce a new video having plasma light emission with a very smooth frame transition.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The study also compared the performance of several machine learning techniques including combining methods that were constructed by combining several single and ensemble classifiers with voting, Select-Best, and stacking scheme. The result of the study indicates a high prediction performance of many of the ensemble classifiers and the combining methods selected and proved that machine learning methods are very beneficial for predicting change-prone classes in software. The study also demonstrated that software metrics are significant indicators of class change-proneness and should be monitored regularly.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Softw.
