Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Bayesian Method for Disentangling Dependent Structure of Epistatic InteractionJing Zhang, Qu Zhang, Darrin Lewis, Michael Q. ZhangProblem statement: We propose a Bayesian method (RBP) to recursively infer the independence structure of epistatic interactions in case-control study. Approach: Based on the results of BEAM2, RBP can powerfully detect the marginal and conditional independence within interacting SNPs even in the complicated interaction cases. Results: We did extensive simulations to test RBP and compare it with stepwise logistic regression. … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolynomial Interpolation in the Elliptic Curve CryptosystemLiew Khang Jie, Hailiza KamarulhailiProblem statement: In this research, we incorporate the polynomial interpolation method in the discrete logarithm problem based cryptosystem which is the elliptic curve cryptosystem. Approach: In this study, the polynomial interpolation method to be focused is the Lagrange polynomial interpolation which is the simplest polynomial interpolation method. This method will be incorporated in the encryption algorithm of the elliptic curve … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2011 · 7,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract(+)-Syringaresinol Lignan from New Species Magnolia ThailandicaWisit Monthong, Siripit Pitchuanchom, Narong Nuntasaen, Wilart PompimonProblem statement: Magnolia, an ancient genus, is a large genus of about 210 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. Having evolved before bees appeared, the flowers developed to encourage pollination by beetles. Members of this family are rich in a wide variety of biological active compounds including lignans. Magnolia thailandica, a new species for Thailand … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 9,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Health Technology Assessment on Decision-Making Processes in Public Versus Not-for-Profit Private HospitalsHafizah Besar Saaid, Donald Stewart, Ian England, Nilesh ParmarProblem statement: The goal of this study is to extend research on Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) implementation by examining the decision-making processes for acquiring new health technologies in selected hospitals in Southeast Queensland, Australia. Both a decision-making model and a mini-Health Technology Assessment (HTA) model guide the approach and analysis in this study. We anticipated that both public and private sector … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 9,071 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurface Electromyography-Based Facial Expression Recognition in Bi-Polar ConfigurationMahyar Hamedi, Sh-Hussain Salleh, Tan Tian Swee, KamarulafizamProblem statement: Facial expression recognition has been improved recently and it has become a significant issue in diagnostic and medical fields, particularly in the areas of assistive technology and rehabilitation. Apart from their usefulness, there are some problems in their applications like peripheral conditions, lightening, contrast and quality of video and images. Approach: Facial Action Coding System (FACS) and some … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 25 Jul 2011 · 9,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsistent and Proficient Algorithm for Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor NetworksP. Balamurugan, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: A wireless sensor network is usually deployed in a harsh geographical area to gather data that can be delivered to the remotely located base station. Sensor nodes have irreplaceable energy source, limited computational capability and limited memory. It is a challenge to maximize the use of energy of these sensor nodes to extend the network lifetime. Approach: This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 25 Jul 2011 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite

This BWA technology is based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) technology and considers the radio frequency range up to 2-11 GHz and 10-66 GHz. The objective of this research work is the performance analysis of AWGN, SUI-1 and SUI-2 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Mar 2011 · 7,336 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPersonality Traits as Predictors towards Readiness to Change among Female Drug AddictsW.S. Wan Shahrazad, Z.M. Lukman, A.R. Roseliza Murni et al.Problem statement: Understanding the personality traits among women who are involved in drug addiction is a crucial issue prior to starting any intervention programs. It may provide an indication of their readiness to receive treatment and change this addictive behavior. This study was conducted to examine the predictive relationship between personality traits and readiness to change among women drug addicts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Rice Yield and Apparent Electrical Conductivity of Paddy SoilsM.H. Ezrin, M.S.M. Amin, A.R. Anuar, W. AimrunProblem statement: Understanding the relationships between rice yield and soil properties such as bulk electrical conductivity is of critical importance in precision farming. The apparent Electrical Conductivity of soil (ECa) is influenced by a combination of physico-chemical properties including soluble salts, clay content and mineralogy, soil water content, bulk density, organic matter and soil temperature. Accordingly, ECa is considered as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,545 accessesView PDFCite
