A retinal image has blood vessels, optic disc, fovea, and so forth as the main components of an image. Segmentation of these components has been investigated extensively. Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the techniques that have been applied to segment the optic disc, but only a limited work has been reported. To our knowledge, fovea segmentation problem has not been reported in the literature using PCA. In this paper, we are presenting the segmentation of optic disc and fovea using PCA. The PCA was trained on optic discs and foveae using ten retinal images and then applied on seventy retinal images with a success rate of 97% in case of optic discs and 94.3% in case of fovea. Conventional algorithms feed one patch at a time from a test retinal image, and the next patch separated by one pixel part is fed. This process is continued till the full image area is covered. This is time consuming. We are suggesting techniques to cut down the processing time with the help of binary vessel tree of a given test image. Results are presented to validate our idea.

The chemical composition of five leaf oil samples and eighteen berry oil samples from Corsican Juniperus macrocarpa have been investigated by GC(RI), GC-MS and 13C NMR. The composition of berry oils was dominated by monoterpene hydrocarbons with α-pinene (56.4-78.9%) as main component followed by myrcene (2.2-11.9%). Germacrene D (4.5-103%) was the major sesquiterpene. The contents of the main components of leaf oils varied drastically from sample to sample: α-pinene (28.7-76.4%), δ3-carene (up to 17.3%), β-phellandrene (up to 12.3%), manoyl oxide (up to 8.1%). The occurrence of the unusual ( Z)-pentadec-6-en-2-one (0.1-1.2%) should be pointed out. Statistical analysis (Principal Component Analysis and k- means partition) suggested a unique group with atypical samples.

This paper represents a method for Human Recognition system using Principal Component Analysis. Human Gait recognition works on the gait of walking subjects to identify people without them knowing or without their permission. The initial step in this kind of system is to generate silhouette frames of walking human. A number of features couldb be exytacted from these frames such as centriod ratio, heifht, width and orientation. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for the extracted features to condense the information and produces the main components that can represent the gait sequences for each waiking human. In the testing phase, the generated gait sequences are recognized by using a minimum distance classifier based on eluclidean distance matched with the one that already exist in the database used to identify walking subject.

In this theme some advances have been developed, verified in the background, where attempts have been made to determine the existence of structural alterations such as perforations, defective welding and dents in metal structures; a pattern of mechanical vibration that allows to differentiate each alteration has not yet been clearly defined. In this work, the data taking was carried out taking into account the position of the sensors, two beams were added without alteration, in order to be able to interact with the five configurations, which were adopted for the experimental design.  To the tests of repeated measurements, in each configuration, analysis (ANOVA) was used for the validation of NULL hypotheses, and thus to determine the number of test to be treated. After having the defined matrices representing each configuration, in each anomaly, it is necessary to apply the principal component Analysis (PCA), to the data obtained by the calculation of the fast Fourier transform (FFT). And thus determine the number of components by means of three Criteria (Jollife, Kaiser and PVA), using a classification algorithm, which evaluates the percentage of classification vs lower standard deviation. In this analysis the descriptors were not calculated but the main components of each criterion were taken as a description tool.  The process of extraction of characteristics was fundamental to determine the proper configuration in each alteration (fissure, welded, perforated, deformed).  On the other hand, statistical parameters were calculated (average, standard deviation, variation factor, Euclidean distance) of each anomaly. Taking as descriptors.

Deaths of children younger than 5 years has been a global problem for long time. This study is focused on evaluating diseases that caused under five child mortality in Tanzania in 2013. Diseases that causes child mortality were collected from 25 regions and analysed for 42 disease variables. The data obtained were standardized and subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) to define the diseases responsible for the variability in child mortality. PCA produced seven significant main components that explain 73:40% of total variance of the original data set. The results reveal that Thyroid Diseases, Snake and Insect Bites, Vitamin A Deficiency /Xerophthalmia, Eye Infections, Schistosomiasis (SS), Intestinal Worms, Ear Infections, Haematological Diseases, Diabetes Mellitus, Ill Defined Symptoms no Diagnosis, Poisoning, Anaemia, HIV/AIDS, Burns, Rheumatic Fever, Bronchial Asthma, Peri-natal conditions and Urinary tract infection are most significant diseases in assessing under five child mortality in Tanzania mainland. This study suggest that PCA technique is useful tool for identification of important diseases that causes death of children less than five years.

For the copper-based composite friction material, the statistical models of the element structure were given in this paper to pick up the main components, that was, through the principal component analysis on basic element model of surface structure, the two kinks of main indicators or indexes are ascertained can be found from the original four indicators. Here, the main components were the area radio and long radius, the others among the four were short radius, inclination. Moreover, the indicator reduction criterion was put forward as a general rule by this paper.

Introduction. The establishment of a smart tourism model is indispensable for the effectiveness of tourism development and management supported by advances in information and communication technology. The successful implementation of smart tourism is determined by the smart tourism model. Determination of the main components has a significant role in building an effective model. The purpose of this study, to determine the main components forming a smart tourism model using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCA is used to compress variables by reducing the number of dimensions, without losing much information. Method This research method is a quantitative method using SPSS software version 22. Result. The result obtained 9 main components, namely stakeholders, infrastructure, goals, resources, activities, challenges, innovation in various applications, strategies, and use of information and communication technologies. Conclusion. Those main components are expected to construct a smart tourism model with components that are comprehensive, interrelated, and adaptable.

In the formation of a regression model there is a possibility of a relationship between one predictor variable with other predictor variables known as multicollinearity. In the parametric approach, multicollinearity can be overcome by the principal component analysis method. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a multivariate analysis that transforms the originating variables that are correlated into new variables that are not correlated by reducing a number of these variables so that they have smaller dimensions but can account for most of the diversity of the original variables. In some research data that do not form parametric patterns also allows the occurrence of multicollinearity on the predictor variables. This study examines the ability of spline estimators in the analysis of the main components. The data contained multicollinearity and was applied to diabetes mellitus data by taking cholesterol type factors as predictors. Based on the estimation results, one main component is obtained to explain the diversity of variables in diabetes data with the best linear spline model at one knot point.
