Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFeature Selection for High Dimensional Data: An Evolutionary Filter ApproachAnwar Ali Yahya, Addin Osman, Abd Rahman Ramli, Adlan BalolaProblem statement: Feature selection is a task of crucial importance for the application of machine learning in various domains. In addition, the recent increase of data dimensionality poses a severe challenge to many existing feature selection approaches with respect to efficiency and effectiveness. As an example, genetic algorithm is an effective search algorithm that lends itself directly to feature selection; … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 9 May 2011 · 7,946 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSensorization of Robotic Hand Using Optical Three-Axis Tactile Sensor: Evaluation with Grasping and Twisting MotionsHanafiah Yussof, Jiro Wada, Masahiro OhkaProblem statement: Sensitization of robot hand is still remaining as crucial issue since most of robot hand systems nowadays are only capable to grasp a predefined specific object. It is still difficult for robot hand system to realize human-like tactile sensation. Some common problems in robot hand system are low accuracy sensing device, sensors are not robust enough for long … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,846 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Some Organic Pollutants Transport into the Shallow Groundwater and Surface Water of Jiaxing Landfill AreaSouleymane Keita, Zhonghua Tang, Shaogang Dong, Yuehua JiangProblem statement: Hangjiahu regions belong to the Yangtze River Delta region in Zhejiang Province in China. The vast majority of this region is flat, so surface and groundwater both have a low flow rate. With the rapid economic development of the area, a large number of industrial and domestic garbage are generated. These landfill or garbage are exposed and stacked. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,283 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation and Beneficiation of Feldspar from Arkosic Sandstone in South Jordan for Application in the Ceramic IndustryMousa GougazehThe main purpose of the present study was to investigate the beneficiation and upgrading processes of a Jordanian feldspar ores to be finally implemented in the ceramic industry. The experimental work was conducted to evaluate the role of particle size distribution, chemical composition, mineral content and the magnetic impurities (Fe2O3 +TiO2 contents).

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Transcript Labeling Techniques and Development of a Membrane-based Parallel Gene Expression AssayMark A. Fisher, Bonnie B. Plikaytis, Thomas M. ShinnickAn inexpensive alternative to micro arrays was developed to examine the expression of small sets of genes in parallel and used to compare direct and indirect transcript labeling methods. Psoralen-biotin direct labeling was ~10-fold less sensitive than reverse transcriptase-biotin-dUTP labeling, but the enzymatic method generated higher levels of background noise in miniarray hybridizations. The reproducibility of hybridization intensities was the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,868 accessesView PDF Cite
