Abstract: This paper presents the use of self similarity with random variations and probabilistic growth of branches as the basis of generating natural forms of trees. Bifurcation branching geometry has been considered ...

ABSTRACT Luminosity variations of natural cloud-to-ground lightning flashes were studied by analyzing a set of high speed video recordings. The frame rate and resolution of the camera was 5000 fps at 512×512 pixel ...

ABSTRACT This paper presents a neural network approach for classification of rice varieties. A total of 9 different rice verities were considered for the study. Samples were drawn from each variety and images of seeds ...

Long‐term changes in extreme air temperature at Nuwara Eliya (a high‐elevation observatory located in the western slopes of the central mountainous region of Sri Lanka) are examined. The present work is limited to a linear ...

For studying and controlling the vibration effects present at vehicular road transportation, the quantitative estimation and laboratory simulation of the same becomes vital. Using an accelerometer, the vibration acceleration ...

The versatility of the Finger-Feel-Firmness (FFF) test method has been proved with a series of panel evaluations. Judgment of the panel on the pattern of the variation of FFF, agrees with that of the author. An individual ...

Firmnesses of farm fresh samples of three tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) varieties grown in Sri Lanka, named, Maheshi, HF-2 and T-146 were studied. The firmness of the tomatoes was measured using Effegi type Bishop FT ...

Thin-layer drying characteristics of paddy were examined within the relative humidity range from 30% to 60%. A test chamber has been constructed with Perspex and continuously flushed with low humid air to control ...
