The objective … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Porcine Mitochondrial Transcription Factor a Gene: Molecular Characterization, Radiation Hybrid Mapping and Genetic Diversity among 12 Pig BreedsTanja Kunej, Xiao-Lin Wu, Jennifer J. Michal et al.Problem statement: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nucleus-encoded protein that is a key activator of mitochondrial transcription as well as a major participant in mitochondrial genome replication. Genomic characterization of the porcine TFAM gene is, therefore, necessary to determine its involvement in regulation of fat depots and meat quality traits in pigs. Approach: Genomic DNA sequence was determined … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterminants of Poster Reputation on Internet Stock Message BoardsYing ZhangProblem statement: I investigate the determinants of poster reputation in a user-rewarding reputation system on Thelion!WallStreetPit stock message board.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVerifying Complex Interaction between Hardware ProcessesKiran Ramineni, Shireesh Verma, Ian G. HarrisProblem statement: Verification of correct functionality of semiconductor devices has been a challenging problem. Given the device fabrication cost, it is critical to verify the expected functionality using simulations of executable device models before a device manufactured. However, typical industrial scale devices today involve large number of interactions between their components. Complexity of verifying all interactions becomes almost intractable even … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Effect of Inheritance on the Characteristics of Object Oriented ProgramsThabit S. Mohammed, Hayam K. MustafaThis paper considers a fact that software measures, which many of them were defined many years ago, are still not widely used in software industry, and therefore some additional insights will be gained by investigating Halstead's metrics and use them to propose more software metrics. Since the object oriented approach was considered an active technology for achieving high quality software, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeparation of the Control Plane and Forwarding Plane in Next-Generation RoutersRachid N. Takourout, Samuel Pierre, Laurent MarchandEver since the Internet appeared, network elements, such as routers, have been enhanced with much functionality. They tend to increasingly integrate more services, such as support and security mechanisms, which ensure Quality of Service. Similarly, processor performance continues to increase rapidly. Thus, these two types of evolution trigger the concept of separating the Control plane and the Forwarding plane in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 6,577 accessesView PDFCite
