The image of the object is converted into an edge image. Important points of the curve are identified by the dominant point detection method. A line segment of every two consecutive important points is a categorical line segment or a non-linear line segment. Nonlinear segments are fitted as circular arcs. In addition, the compactness of approximate polygons is used as a feature in the shape recognition process. Experimental results show that using this new global feature has better recognition performance than traditional features such as relative distance, length and angle. Overall the new method is efficient and effective in representing and recognizing shapes.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82468093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It works continuously to contemporise computer systems to operate with high efficiency and to think like what a human think. In addition, this science seeks to make the work of the machine simulate the work of the human brain in thinking and making decisions, according to the environment in which they live. Therefore, it has become necessary to have artificial intelligence applications in all areas, including education, especially the English language teaching electronically. In this regard, the most influential applications and programs that contribute to the development of teaching English electronically and their effectiveness in developing e-learning will be reviewed. This article concluded that there are applications of artificial intelligence in teaching English electronically, which are of great importance and a great future in the development of language teaching.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82932113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method involves spatial decision, which deals with a large set of feasible alternatives through the use of remotely sensed data in providing the required spectral and spatial information for generating information layers for rice aggregation centres selection criteria. The study discovered thirteen sites fulfilling all sitting criteria for location of rice aggregation centres. The results propose that two locations be allotted to Ayamelum in addition to the 4 existing centres, thereby bringing it to a total of 6 aggregation centres with a mean distance of 2.8km. Anambra East which had one aggregation centre was allocated 2 aggregation centres with a mean distance of 2.65km from the rice farms. Anambra West which previously had no aggregation centre was allocated one aggregation centre with a mean distance of 2km. Awka North was also allocated two aggregation centres with a mean distance of 3.3km from the rice farms. Orumba South which previously had no centre was proposed one aggregation centre with a mean distance of 4.1km from the rice farms. Orumba North which previously had no centre was allocated two aggregation centres with a mean distance of 3.4km from the rice farms. Ihiala, had no aggregation centre but was allocated 1 aggregation centre which has a mean distance of 3.6km from the rice farms. Ogbaru previously had one aggregation centre but was allocated 1 more aggregation centre with a mean distance of 3.8km from the rice farms. These results have shown that GIS-based location modelling can be successfully used in locating agro-service centres such as products aggregation centres. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79963387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A simulation study is used to estimate the critical values at a significance level of 0.05. The type I error rate and test power are calculated using Monte Carlo simulation with 10,000 replicates. The data are generated from the specified distribution; i.e., Lognormal and Gamma distributions with sample size of 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 and 200. The results demonstrate that every test has control over the type I error probability. The new test has the highest power for two alternative hypotheses; Loglogistic and Logistic distributions. Moreover, when the alternative distribution is Normal distribution and the sample size is small, the new test has the highest power.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74400222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of FE-SEM and TEM analyzes indicate spherical morphology and very small size of magnetite nanoparticles (average 13 nm). The results of DLS analysis show a hydrodynamic diameter of 81.9 to 119.2 nm for magnetic nanoparticles with different structures. Zeta potential values for magnetic nanoparticles are between -0.28 and -55.2 mV, indicating suitable colloidal stability of the nanoparticles for biological applications. The VSM results indicate the high saturation magnetization of the samples as well as the small amounts of the forcing field and the residual magnetization of the samples, which indicates the superpromagnetic property of the nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76243768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
