Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Fuzzy Technique for Cancer Detection in Noisy Breast Ultrasound ImagesN. Alamelumangai, J. DeviShreeProblem statement: Detecting tumor areas in breast Ultrasound (US) images is a challenging task. The occurrence of benign areas in breast may result in false identification of malignant areas which may have serious outcome. Approach: The CAD system could act as a major function in the early detection of breast cancer and could decrease the death rate among women with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFPGA-Based Architecture for a Generalized Parallel 2-D MRI Filtering AlgorithmSami Hasan, Said Boussakta, Alex YakovlevProblem statement: Current Neuroimaging developments, in biological research and diagnostics, demand an edge-defined and noise-free MRI scans. Thus, this study presents a generalized parallel 2-D MRI filtering algorithm with their FPGA-based implementation in a single unified architecture. The parallel 2-D MRI filtering algorithms are Edge, Sobel X, Sobel Y, Sobel X-Y, Blur, Smooth, Sharpen, Gaussian and Beta (HYB). Then, the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 20 Feb 2012 · 8,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecure Authentication Technique for Data Aggregation in Wireless Sensor NetworksV. Bhoopathy, R. M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), serious security threat is caused by node capture attacks where an adversary gains full control over a sensor node through direct physical access. Approach: This creates a high risk of data confidentiality. Results: We propose a secure authentication technique for data aggregation in WSN. During first round of data aggregation, the aggregator upon … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Jan 2012 · 7,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransformation of Lesquerella Fendleri with the New Binary Vector pGPro4-35SGrace Q. Chen, Roger Thilmony, Jiann-Tsyh LinProblem statement: Crop genetic engineering requires the use of various promoters to control the expression of introduced transgenes. Some of the binary vectors currently available for promoter characterization in dicotyledonous plants have pitfalls due to their construction, such as containing a selectable marker cassette with enhancer sequences that can potentially interfere with the expression specificity of nearby promoters. Also, many … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Jan 2012 · 7,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on the Effects of Non-Normality on the Performances of Max-DEWMA Versus SS-DEWMA ChartsTeh Sin Yin, Michael Khoo Boon ChongProblem statement: The called the Sum of Squares Double Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (SS-DEWMA) chart which is effective in detecting shifts in the mean and/or variance is compared with the Max-DEWMA (called the maximum double exponentially weighted moving average) chart. The comparison is based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic of the process is normal or … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2012 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWetland Ontology Modeling to Apply the Context-Aware Technology for Application Service EnvironmentJ. I. Gwi-Hwan, O. H. Ryum-DuckProblem statement: Due to recent advances in the IT industry, the importance of ontology has increased as a tool of knowledge representation at home or abroad for implementation of intelligent and personalized service system such as next generation semantic web environment and ubiquitous computing environment. But, although the importance of wetlands are being recognized, systematic management is still not enough … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 13 Jan 2012 · 6,974 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence Study of Coxiella burnetii in Aborted Ovine and Caprine Fetuses by Evaluation of Nested and Real-Time PCR AssaysFarhad Safarpoor DehkordiProblem statement: Q fever is a ubiquitous zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, an obligate intracellular rickettsial organism that caused abortion and stillbirth in ruminants. Approach: The prevalence of Coxiella burnetii in Iran is essentially unknown. Its traditional diagnosis is based on culture, serology and conventional PCR. In this present study, for more sensitive and accurate detection and prevalence's determination of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 13 Jan 2012 · 9,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Subsurface Defects in Concrete Bridge Deck JointsWonchang Choi, Larry Rickard, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Miguel PicornellProblem statement: The integrity of deck joints in highway bridges plays a major role to determine overall performance of bridge system. As the bridge maintenance program, the defects in deck joints have historically been detected by conventional non-destructive testing and evaluation methods such as visual inspection, chain-dragging and by the detecting sounds under the traffic. Future bridge maintenance challenges will … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2011 · 7,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Time Domain Pitch Detection Algorithm for Pathological VoiceMohd Redzuan Jamaludin, Sheikh Hussain Shaikh Salleh, Tan Tian Swee et al.Problem statement: The present study proposes a new pitch detection algorithm which could potentially be used to detect pitch for disordered or pathological voices. One of the parameters required for dysphonia diagnosis is pitch and this prompted the development of a new and reliable pitch detection algorithm capable of accurately detect pitch in disordered voices. Approach: The proposed method applies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Nov 2011 · 7,674 accessesView PDFCite
