Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Bayesian Nearest Neighbor Search Using Marginal Object Weight Ranking Scheme in Spatial DatabasesK. Balasaravanan, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: A database that is optimized to store and query data that is related to objects in space, including points, lines and polygons is called spatial database. Identifying nearest neighbor object search is a vital part of spatial database. Many nearest neighbor search techniques such as Authenticated Multi-step NN (AMNN), Superseding Nearest Neighbor (SNN) search, Bayesian Nearest Neighbor (BNN) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 30 Jul 2012 · 7,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRising Food Insecurity: Dimensions in Farm HouseholdsOkezie Chukwukere Austin, Aloysius Chidi Nwosu, Amir Hussin BaharuddinProblem statement: Nigeria runs the risk of slowing further progress toward the achievement of MDG-1 to eradicate extreme hunger and poverty; the fourth goal, to reduce child mortality since over 30% of child deaths are attributable to malnutrition and the fifth goal relating to reduction in maternal mortality. This study evaluated the manifestation of food insecurity in households in Abia … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2011 · 8,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Lysine: Calorie Ratios and Their Influence on Nitrogen Metabolism and Digestibility in Moderately Obese Mature DogsTrista Reeder, Greg Hibbard, Kyle R. McLeod, David L. HarmonProblem statement: A goal during weight loss is to reduce body fat while maintaining body protein. We hypothesized that an increased dietary lysine: calorie might be beneficial during periods of caloric restriction. Approach: Two experiments were conducted to determine if changing the ratio of lysine: calories (lysine g/kg: Mcal ME/kg) while maintaining an ideal profile of amino acids will change … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2011 · 8,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassical Flexible Lip Model Based Relative Weight Finder for Better Lip Reading Utilizing Multi Aspect Lip GeometryB. Sujatha, T. SanthanamProblem statement: Deaf and dumb needs assistance from a technical box that takes movements of lips to identify the words. This technical article provided appropriate model implementation of flexible lip model for better visual lip reading system. Approach: From the frame sequence of words, Active Shape Model (ASM) based lip model provided local tracking and extraction of geometric lip-feature. Two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Jul 2010 · 7,125 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimum and Complete Fluidization Velocity for Sand-Palm Shell Mixtures, Part II: Characteristic Velocity Profiles, Critical Loading and Binary CorrelationsV. S. Chok, A. Gorin, H. B. ChuaProblem statement: In Part I of this research, the main features of the fluidization behavior and characteristic velocities had been reported. Approach: In the present research, the mixtures characteristic velocity profiles for various sand sizes, palm shell sizes and weight percents were presented. It was recognized that there are instances where the characteristic values remain nearly unchanged from its pure … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Distance and Heterosis through Evaluation Index in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.)Ebrahim Talebi, G. SubramanyaProblem statement: Synthesis of new-gene combinations by genetic manipulation is one of the powerful tools in exploiting the commercial qualities of plants and animals. Hybrid performance is evaluated from extensive yield trials that are costly and time consuming. Approach: Four silkworm races belonging to two different voltine groups (two multivoltine races namely Pure Mysore and Nistari and two bivoltine races … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Stable Weight-Based on Demand Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworkOon Chong Hsi, Azizol AbdullahProblem statement: A MANET is an autonomous collection of mobile users that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Since the nodes are mobile, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. Approach: A Stable Weight-based On demand Routing Protocol (SWORP) that uses the weight-based route strategy to select a stable route was created by Wang. But SWORP … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRamadan Fasting Diet Entailed a Lipid Metabolic Disorder Among Type 2 Diabetic Obese WomenMéghit Boumédiène Khaled, Slimane BelbraouetWe designed this study to assess the effect of diet during Ramadan fasting on body weight and on serum lipid components in type 2 diabetic obese women. During Ramadan of 2005, 89 diabetic women receiving oral treatment (BMI = 33.20±3.01 kg m-2), aged 52 (±5 years), were selected. The study was carried out over 3 periods-, before (T1: pre-fasting), during … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-Birth Weight and Pre-Term Delivery in Relation to Lopinavir/Ritonavir Use in PregnancyJorge Senise, Reisson Cruz, Ricardo Palacios et al.The toxic potential of nevirapine in pregnant women with CD4 count over 250 cells mm-3 and the unsatisfactory efficacy of nelfinavir in patients with baseline Viral Load (VL) over 100,000 copies mL-1 has prompted the use of Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in selected situations. This study aims to assess safety of LPV/r in pregnancy. Medical records from pregnant women receiving LPV/r were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,954 accessesView PDFCite
