HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractExtending the Repertoire of Structures in DNA NanotechnologyClive DelmonteDNA nanotechnology remains an active area of research and advances have been reviewed recently. DNA nanotechnology seeks to deploy molecules at an atomic level and on a small molecule scale. Other techniques in biophysics and biochemistry do not need to address the issue of the true structure of the nucleic acids at an atomic level but, rather, at a macro-atomic … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 7 Oct 2015 · 13,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAPREDUCE CHALLENGES ON PERVASIVE GRIDSL. A. Steffenel, O. Flauzac, A. S. Charao et al.This study presents the advances on designing and implementing scalable techniques to support the development and execution of MapReduce application in pervasive distributed computing infrastructures, in the context of the PER-MARE project. A pervasive framework for MapReduce applications is very useful in practice, especially in those scientific, enterprises and educational centers which have many unused or underused computing resources, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 24 Jul 2014 · 9,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNitrification of Urea and Assimilation of Nitrate in Saturated Soils Under Aerobic ConditionsV. V. Ramakrishnan, A. E. GhalyThe aim of this study was to investigate nitrification activity of urea and the assimilation of nitrate in a well aerated soil using perfusion technique with addition of glucose as an energy and carbon source. In this study, urea was rapidly nitrified by the bacteria in the saturated soil but its course of transformation to NO3 was not linear. There … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2013 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Sustainability of Oil IndustryVera Rocca, Dario VibertiSimilarly to most industrial activities, the oil industry can affect the environment at several stages. The greatest impact is the release of waste into the environment in concentrations that are not natural. Virtually in all cases, the adverse impact can be minimized or eliminated through the implementation of a proper waste management plan. Over the past few years the oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2013 · 8,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPossibility and Evidence-Based Reliability Analysis and Design OptimizationHong-Zhong Huang, Liping He, Yu Liu et al.Engineering design under uncertainty has gained considerable attention in recent years. A great multitude of new design optimization methodologies and reliability analysis approaches are put forth with the aim of accommodating various uncertainties. Uncertainties in practical engineering applications are commonly classified into two categories, i.e., aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty arises because of unpredictable variation in the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model for Precipitation Time SeriesYan Wang, Xinghua Chang, Meng Gao, Xiyong HouPredicting the trend of precipitation is a difficult task in meteorology and environmental sciences. Statistical approaches from time series analysis provide an alternative way for precipitation prediction. The ARIMA model incorporating seasonal characteristics, which is referred to as seasonal ARIMA model was presented. The time series data is the monthly precipitation data in Yantai, China and the period is from … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Feb 2013 · 12,662 accessesView PDFCite
