Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscovery of Evolutionary Divergence of Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Photosynthesis: Fine Tuning of Biogenesis of the NifH and the ChlL by a Peptidyl-Prolyl Cis/Trans IsomeraseNara Gavini, Sinny Delacroix, Kelvin Harris Jr., Lakshmi PulakatProblem statement: Despite the structural and functional similarities between the nitrogenase that performs biological nitrogen fixation reaction and the Dark Protochlorphyllide Oxidoreductase (DPOR) that performs chlorophyll-biosynthesis, attempts to substitute nitrogenase-components with DPOR-components have hitherto failed. This investigation was undertaken to test if Chlamydomonas reinhardtii protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) reductase (ChlL) that shares some structural similarity with Nitrogenase Reductase (NifH) could complement the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural and Evolutionary Analysis of PARPs in D. discoideumA. Mehadvi Kawal, Hina A. Mir, Chethan Kumar Ramniklal et al.Problem statement: Dictyostelium discoideum, a unicellular eukaryote, exhibits multicellularity upon nutrient starvation, making it a better model for developmental studies and for the study of various signal transduction pathways. The most felicitous point of interest is that many of its genes show high degree of similarity to vertebrate genes. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a ubiquitous and abundant nuclear protein, has … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of an Educational Scenario Exercise on Participants' Competencies of Systemic ThinkingSimon BurandtProblem statement: Education for sustainable development (ESD) aims to shape key competencies of individuals and therefore needs methods to enable learners to acquire these competencies. Systemic thinking can be regarded as a meta-competency in ESD, because it contains many important aspects found in most key competencies of ESD. Scenario analysis is described as a learning environment that fosters the acquisition … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2010 · 8,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPattern Trees for Fault-Proneness Detection in Object-Oriented SoftwareRomana Ishrat, Rafat Parveen, Syed I. AhsonProblem statement: This study introduced an application of pattern tree based classification technique in the area of object-oriented software quality estimation. This application explored the fault prediction accuracy of pattern trees. Approach: Similarity measures and fuzzy aggregations employed in the pattern tree technique had been used to generate tree models for fault detection in software modules. Experiments had been performed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Jul 2010 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmino Acid Sequence of Amylase Type Alpha, MiAmy, from Ok-Rong Mango (Mangifera indica Linn. cv. Ok-Rong)Raksmont Ubonbal, Saijai Posoongnoen, Jureerut Daduang et al.The 594-amino acid residue sequence of α-amylase, MiAmy, from the Ok-rong mango (Mangifera indica Linn. cv. Ok-rong), in the ripening stage, was determined through Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Sequence alignments and evolutionary tree analyses revealed its high similarity to plastid α-amylase from many other plants. The sequence was revealed to have four conserved regions with catalytic amino acid … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2015 · 7,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEDGE PRESERVED IMAGE COMPRESSION USING EXTENDED SHEARLET TRANSFORMS. Thayammal, D. SelvathiThe motivation of the proposed compression method is to reduce the bit rate for image transmission or memory requirement for image storage while maintaining image quality. The edges are one of the prominent features in an image and they are essential for maintaining image quality. JPEG compression standards like JPEG98 and JPEG2000 produce visual artifacts in reconstructed image at low … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Recent Research and Implementation Methodologies on Medical Image SegmentationS. K. Somasundaram, P. AlliProblem statement: Image segmentation plays a very important role in digital imaging applications for classifying the anatomical structures and other Regions of Interest. Segmentation refers to the process of identifying and isolating the surface and regions of the digital image which corresponds to the structural units. Approach: In the past few decades, many methods have been proposed to segment the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 4 Nov 2011 · 7,117 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNew Information Content Glossary Relatedness (ICGR) Approach for Short Text Similarity (STS) TasksAli Muftah BenOmran, Mohd Juzaiddin Ab AzizThe measurement of the relatedness of word semantics based on complementary Wikipedia and WordNet-based methods takes two forms, combined and integrative, which are aimed at increasing the semantic space between related words. However, each form has its own set of issues regarding its components and the strategy that is used to combine and integrate corpus-based and knowledge-based methods. In the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 6 · 5 Jun 2018 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
