Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Feature Construction Process for Dynamic Aggregation of Relational AttributesRayner AlfredProblem statement: The importance of input representation has been recognized already in machine learning. Feature construction is one of the methods used to generate relevant features for learning data. This study addressed the question whether or not the descriptive accuracy of the DARA algorithm benefits from the feature construction process. In other words, this paper discusses the application of genetic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Bilirubinaemia; A Physiologic Index for Monitoring Cellular Effects of Amalar, Chloroquine, Cotecxin and FansidarE. O. Jimmy, I. F. UsohProblem statement: Antimalaria drugs are highly consumed in Africa due to increase prevalent of malaria attacks. Though the disease is often cured with some antimalarials the physiologic effects of such drugs may not be considered in pharmacologic preparations and in prescriptions. Such non consideration is likely to result in serious health problems which may outweigh the effects of malaria disease … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Antioxidant Vitamins C and E Supplementation on its Plasma Levels and on Lipid Profile in Pulmonary Tuberculosis PatientsM. Madhavi, P. Samudram, A. Hemanth Kumar, Lalitha VictorProblem statement: Patients with active pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) are malnourished as indicated by reductions in lean mass, anthropometric indices and micronutrient status. Supplementation with vitamins may prove to be beneficial. Limited information is available on the supplementation of vitamin C and E in pulmonary TB patients. Hence, the present study was undertaken to address the question whether any benefit could … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Metals (Pb and Cu) Contamination in Bottom Sediment from South China Sea Coastal Waters, MalaysiaM. C. Ong, B. Y. KamaruzzamanProblem statement: The accumulation of metal contaminants in sediments can pose serious environmental problems to the surrounding areas. Trace metal contamination in sediment could affect the water quality and the bio-assimilation and bioaccumulation of metals in aquatic organisms, resulting in potential long-term implications on human health and ecosystem. Approach: About 154 bottom sediment samples were collected using Smith McIntyre in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpedance Analysis of Heat Treated Polyethylene Oxide Polymeric Material for a Neural Storage ApplicationMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: From the early days of, researchers have developed electronic models of neurons designed to emulate neural behavior with electrical signals that mimic in some ways the measured potentials of biological neurons. Researchers interested in fabricating artificial neurons have long sought a simple and techniques to produce devices that efficiently store synaptic weights, which is behind holding a particular … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Fusarium Oxysporum F. Sp. Cubense of BananaS. K. Leong, Z. Latiffah, S. BaharuddinProblem statement: Morphological characterization of Fusarium species which emphasize on microscopic and cultural characteristics are not sufficient to characterize Fusarium Oxysporum F. sp. Cubense (FOC) from banana as these characteristics could easily influence by environmental factors. As an alternative molecular methods were used to characterize and to assess genetic variation of FOC from different banana cultivars. Knowledge on the genetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 9,267 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn assessment of Urban Quality of Life by Using Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach (Case study: Comparative Study of Quality of Life in the North of Iran)Sedigheh Lotfi, Karim SolaimaniProblem Statement: Researches of quality of life are concentrated mainly on the urban nature in the recent years and the urban quality of life gained many attentions in empirical studies. The concept of urban quality of life is a multi-dimensional and complex issue. So, needless to say that this concept can be used in planning when there is an appropriate … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,637 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Analysis of Coagulase Gene Polymorphism in Clinical Isolates of Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Based GenotypingM. Himabindu, D. Sugapriya Muthamilselvan, Dillip Kumar Bishi, Rama S. VermaProblem statement: To investigate coagulase gene variants through Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) amongst clinical isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) collected from Chennai based hospitals. Approach: A total of 85 MRSA clinical isolates collected from various clinical sources were studied for the molecular typing purpose.
