RajagopalanProblem statement: Activities of drug molecules can be predicted by Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) models, which overcome the disadvantage of high cost and long cycle by employing traditional experimental methods. With the fact that number of drug molecules with positive activity is rather fewer than that with negatives, it is important to predict molecular activities considering such an unbalanced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis of the Parameters Affecting Warping In Radial Forging ProcessF. Djavanroodi, M. Sabeghi, K. AbriniaRadial forging is a process in which one or two punches move axially causing a radial flow into a die cavity by means of which a flange is formed. During forging, warping, in which the lower face of thin flange rises from the die face may occur. To better understand the effect of parameters affecting the warping in radial forging … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,541 accessesView PDFCite
