Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Resistance to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Protease Inhibitors Using Molecular Mechanics and Machine Learning StrategiesA. Harishchander, D. Alex Anand, Sanjib SenapatiProblem statement: Drug resistance is the most important factor, which influences the failure of current HIV therapies. So, the ability to predict the drug resistance of HIV-1 protease mutants will be useful in developing more effective and longer lasting treatment regimens. Approach: Drug resistance of HIV-1 protease is predicted with two current protease inhibitors (Indinavir and Saquinavir). The problem was … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,206 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom Subhiksha (Prosper) To Iksha (Perspire): The Topsy-Turvy Story of Indian Retail Business ModelH.M. Jha Bidyarthi, Ashish K. Srivastava, P.V. Bokad, Mayur A. DandeProblem statement: To examine the factors that led to inception, high growth and sudden closure of Indian business ventures in upcoming sectors in a short span of less than 10 years. Approach: An IITian and an IIM-A grad (India’s top notch academic institution) set up one of the largest Indian retail chain named Subhiksha Trading services Pvt. Ltd. in 1997 … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,581 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Different Uniform Temperature with Thickness-Wise Linear Temperature Gradient on Interfacial Stresses of a Bi-Material AssemblyD. Sujan, Z. Oo, M. V.V. Murthy, K. N. SeetharamuProblem statement: The thermal mismatch induced interfacial stresses are one of the major reliability issues in electronic packaging and composite materials. Consequently an understanding of the nature of the interfacial stresses under different temperature conditions is essential in order to eliminate or reduce the risk of structural and functional failure. Approach: In this analysis, a model was proposed for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Impact Level and Fruit Properties on Golden Delicious Apple BruisingArzhang Javadi, Ebrahim Ahmadi, Mohammad Hossein Abbaspour-Fard et al.Problem Statement: Bruise damage is a major cause of fruit quality loss. Bruises occur under dynamic and static loading when stress induced in the fruit exceeds the failure stress of the fruit tissue. Statistical bruise estimation models were constructed to calculate Golden Delicious apple bruise volume with respect to fruit properties. Approach: The regression models were built based upon impact … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinematics Model of Snake Robot Considering Snake ScaleRaisuddin Khan, M. Watanabe, A. A. ShafieProblem statement: In snake robot research, one of the most efficient forms of locomotion is the lateral undulation. However, lateral undulation, also known as serpentine locomotion, is ill-suited for narrow spaces, as the body of the snake must assume a certain amount of curvature to propel forward. Approach: To overcome the inability to adapt to narrow spaces, a novel type … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTakagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Gains Scheduled PI Controller for Enhancement of Power System StabilityLokman H. Hassan, M. Moghavvemi, Haider A.F. MohamedProblem statement: Power system oscillations affect system stability and may lead to failure if not properly controlled. Approach: A Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Gains Scheduled Proportional and Integral (FGPI) controller was proposed for a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC)-based stabilizer to enhance the power system stability. Linguistic rules and fuzzy inference mechanism are utilized to tune the controller parameters on-line in different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,545 accessesView PDFCite
