Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMoisture Content Prediction of Dried Longan Aril from Dielectric Constant Using Multilayer Perceptrons and Support Vector RegressionSanong Amaroek, Nipon Theera-Umpon, Kittichai Wantanajittikul, Sansanee AuephanwiriyakulProblem statement: Estimation of moisture contents of dried food products from their dielectric constants was an important step in moisture measurement systems. The regression models that provide good prediction performance are desirable. Approach: The Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) were applied in this research to predict the moisture contents of dried longan arils from their dielectric constants. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Infections Caused By Metallo Beta Lactamase Producing Gram Negative Bacteria in Intensive Care Unit PatientsDebasrita Chakraborty, Saikat Basu, Satadal DasProblem statement: Metallo Beta Lactamse (MBL) producing bacteria is gradually increasing throughout the globe. There is no report of MBL producing bacteria from the city of Kolkata so far although it is a very big metropolice city in India. Thus this study was aimed to investigate the impact of this highly virulent group of bacteria in this city. Approach: In … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 12,108 accessesView PDFCite
