This paper addresses the question whether or not regional middle power states are capable of making a significant contribution to enhancing regional cooperation via regime creation processes. A combination of “nonregime” and the middle power analysis is applied to produce hypotheses about...

Logo recognition system deals with matching of the input trademark or logo with stored trademark images in database. This application, under CBIR umbrella, focuses on optimizing search through database by extracting minimum features from set of the images and using relevance feedback mechanism...

This article describes how the term fractal dimension (FD) plays a vital role in fractal geometry. It is a degree that distinguishes the complexity and the irregularity of fractals, denoting the amount of space filled up. There are many procedures to evaluate the dimension for fractal surfaces,...

This paper compares the effectiveness of the Tsallis entropy over the classic Boltzmann–Gibbs–Shannon entropy for general pattern recognition, and proposes a multi-q approach to improve pattern analysis using entropy. A series of experiments were carried out for the problem of classifying...

We report the deposition of Ti and TiN films on Si/SiO2 (100) substrate using e-beam evaporation technique. The influence of substrate temperature on the structural and morphological properties has been studied. The structure and morphology of the deposited films were analyzed by X-ray...
