Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Temporal Neuro Fuzzy Inference System for Mining Medical DatabasesR. Sethukkarasi, A. KannanThe analysis and representation of temporal data are becoming increasingly important in many areas of research and application. The existing Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) are efficient modeling method for knowledge representation and fuzzy reasoning in time series analysis. In the past, it was used to represent a complex causal system as a collection of concepts and causal relationships among concepts. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 7 Nov 2012 · 6,358 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElevated Th17 and IL-23 in Hypertensive Patients with Acutly Increased Blood PressureJunxian Wang, Jianying Chen, Can Chen et al.Problem statement: Many severe cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart attack can result from acutely increased blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear despite of extensive study. To characterize the inflammatory mechanisms in hypertensive patients with acute blood pressure increase, we tested circulating Th17 levels, IL-23R expression and plasma levels of IL-17 and IL-23 in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 May 2012 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 6,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Approach to Modeling Software Safety in Safety-Critical SystemsBen Swarup Medikonda, Seetha Ramaiah PanchumarthySoftware for safety-critical systems has to deal with the hazards identified by safety analysis in order to make the system safe, risk-free and fail-safe. Software safety is a composite of many factors. Problem statement: Existing software quality models like McCall’s and Boehm’s and ISO 9126 were inadequate in addressing the software safety issues of real time safety-critical embedded systems. At … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,732 accessesView PDFCite
