EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Proposed Statistically-Derived Compromise Cut-off CD4 Count Value for HIV Patients to Start using ARVsMaria Mokgadi Lekganyane, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseThe study investigated the relationship between statistical outliers and the inconsistent values of the CD4 count recommended for starting the Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) by HIV-positive patients. Low CD4 counts imply a low immune system. It could be due to AIDS existence or closeness to death. An effective treatment to curb HIV impact is ART, which is recommended for low CD4 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 29 Jun 2016 · 7,333 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractWhere the Future is Being Made TodayMark A. Brown, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtGrowing up, I was fascinated by The Muppet Show and the adventures of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker. Apparently, my feelings were not unique because Muppet characters are used to ease tensions associated with education about clinical interventions (Ramsay, 2014; Rohn, 2007). Yet the opening phrase 'Where the future is being made today' has, in my opinion, summed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2016 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Unified Approach for the Shear Buckling Design of Structural Glass Walls with Non-Ideal RestraintsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioIn this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints. Based on the current trends of practice in buildings, the effect of (i) adhesive joints, (ii) metal frames with interposed adhesive joints or (iii) point mechanical connectors on the actual shear buckling behavior of the examined … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2016 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Evaluation of Sugarcane Orange Rust for First Clonal Stage of the CP Cultivar Development ProgramDuli Zhao, R. Wayne Davidson, Miguel Baltazar, Jack C. ComstockConsistent development of high-yielding sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) cultivars with resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses is critical to commercial sugarcane production. Currently, orange rust (caused by Puccinia kuehnii E.J. Butler) is a big challenge for the sugarcane production in Florida, USA. A better understanding of sugarcane genotypic variability in response to orange rust disease … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2015 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRADIUS BASED BLOCK LOCAL BINARY PATTERN ON T-ZONE FACE AREA FOR FACE RECOGNITIONMd. Jan Nordin, Abdul Aziz K. Abdul Hamid, Sumazly Ulaiman, R. U. GobithaasanThis study presents a comparison of recognition performance between feature extraction on the T-Zone face area and Radius based block on the critical point. A T-Zone face image is first divided into small regions where Local Binary Pattern (LBP) histograms are extracted and then concatenated into a single feature vector. This feature vector will further reduce the dimensionality scope by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 27 Dec 2014 · 7,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARATIVE STUDY OF DIFFERENT KALMAN FILTER IMPLEMENTATIONS IN POWER SYSTEM STABILITYH. H. Goh, C. W. Tai, Q. S. Chua et al.Voltage stability and voltage collapse issues have in recent years begun to constitute an unpleasant warning to the operational security of power systems. Many techniques have been investigated in order to predict the point of voltage collapse. However, there are still several restrictions due to the insufficiency of current system state information. Accompanied by the commencement of the Phasor Measurement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 29 May 2014 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONSTRAINT SOVLING ENGINE BASED NURSE ROSTERING WITH INTELLIGENT BACKTRACKINGS. Chitrakala, S. P. Surendernath, R. PriyatharshiniEfficient utilization of time and effort is essential in Personnel scheduling problems to evenly balance the workload among the people and attempt to satisfy the personnel preferences. In Constraint Satisfaction Problem based scheduling problems, when a branch of the search fails the backtracking search algorithm back up to the preceding variable and try a different value for it. So here … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 22 May 2014 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARATIVE STUDY OF K-MEANS AND K-MEANS++ CLUSTERING ALGORITHMS ON CRIME DOMAINBashar Aubaidan, Masnizah Mohd, Mohammed AlbaredThis study presents the results of an experimental study of two document clustering techniques which are k-means and k-means++. In particular, we compare the two main approaches in crime document clustering. The drawback of k-means is that the user needs to define the centroid point. This becomes more critical when dealing with document clustering because each center point represented by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 19 Feb 2014 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCEMENT OF TOTAL TECHNICAL LIFE OF AERO PLANESA. Balachandran, P. R. Suresh, Shriram K. Vasudevan, Kaushik VelusamyGovernment of India spends most of its income towards strengthening the Army, Air Force and Navy. Out of the amount spent for this, about 80% of money is spent on technology advancement and maintenance. We are coming in particular now about the Air Force and its fighter jets along with other flying machines as well. Taking Mirage-2000 as an instance, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 22 Nov 2013 · 6,615 accessesView PDFCite
