Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Novel Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Integrase Inhibitors by Shape-Based Virtual ScreeningT.K. Omprakash, A. Thamarai Selvan, A. Shahul Hameed, S.P. GeethaProblem statement: Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) is causative agent of the immune system disease, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Majority of anti-HIV drugs target reverse transcriptase and protease enzymes. Toxicity and development of multidrug resistant HIV-1 virus strains are the reasons for studying new targets in HIV-1 replication process for identifying novel inhibitor with low toxicity and high activity. Approach: … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Approach for Content Based Medical Image Retrieval SystemM. Emmanuel, D.R. Ramesh Babu, Jayashree Jagdale et al.Problem statement: Parallel implementation of a CBIR system for medical applications due to the rapid progress in the technologies for obtaining and storing digital images for diagnostic purposes in medicine. Approach: For feature extraction Wavelet decomposition was used for texture, global color histograms for color and novel wavelet based approach for shape feature extraction. The system had been implemented in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPesticide-Tolerant Bacteria Isolated from Agricultural Canals in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South TexasSandra Puente Aguirre, Kristine L. LoweAtrazine and oxamyl are commonly-used pesticides in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Problem statement: Pesticides may become environmental contaminants due to overuse, runoff and other mechanisms and may impact non-target organisms and ecosystems. Pesticides may be degraded by indigenous microorganisms or by abiotic means. In this study, waterborne bacteria from agricultural canals were examined to assess potential … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,611 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepresentative Particle Size of Sediment in Storm Sewer InletsJaber Almedeij, Ebtehal Ahmad, Jasem AlhumoudProblem statement: The aim of this study was examine the representative particle size of noncohesive sediment samples collected from different storm sewer inlets in residential catchments within Kuwait. Approach: A number of 25 sediment samples were collected from storm sewer inlets located in five residential areas in Kuwait: Bayan, Al-Nuzha, Al-Feiha, Al-Andalos and Al-Rumaithya. All the impervious areas for the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Novel Fidelity Digital Watermarking Based on Adaptively Pixel-Most-Significant-Bit-6 in Spatial Domain Gray Scale Images and RobustMehemed Bashir Aliwa, Tarek El-Ahmady El-Tobely, Mahmood M. Fahmy et al.The digital watermarking technology is a way to apply digital information hiding techniques and prevent malicious and non-malicious attacks to detect hidden information. Problem statement: The problems in digital watermarking is that the three requirements of imperceptibility, capacity and robustness that are must be satisfied but they almost conflict with each other, accordingly there are tradeoff between fidelity and robustness. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHAZOP Analysis Management System with Dynamic Visual Model AidNan Bin Mad Sahar, Syahril Ardi, Suzuki Kazuhiko et al.Problem statement: Ensuring safe operability and minimizing risk is the key component to prevent negative impact in all industries dealing with toxic, reactive, flammable and explosive. Hazard and Operability (HAZOP), a preliminary and systematic approach for identifying hazards has been unquestionably successful in reducing incidents by mitigating the consequence of major accident in the industries process facility. However, laborious work, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractal Images Compressing by Estimating the Closest Neighborhood with Using of Schema TheoryMahdi Jampour, Mahdi Yaghoobi, Maryam AshourzadehProblem statement: One of the methods used for compressing images and especially natural images is by benefiting from fractal features of images. Natural images have properties like Self-Similarity that can be used in image compressing. The basic approach in compressing methods is based on the fractal features and searching the best replacement block for the original image.
