Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAspergillus Niger Metabolites Efficacies Against the Mosquito Larval (Culex Quinquefasciatus, Anopheles Stephensi and Aedes Aegypti) Population after Column ChromatographyNamita Soni, Soam PrakashProblem statement: Mosquito is a very common vector of several tropical diseases such as malaria, filariasis, dengue and chikungunya. Till todate, many xenobiotics have been used to control mosquito population and protect people from mosquito born diseases but increasing rate of resistance against these xenobiotics is a major concern in the disease control management. In contrast, extensive use of these … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2011 · 15,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDermoscopic Image Segmentation using Machine Learning AlgorithmL. Padma Suresh, K.L. Shunmuganathan, S.H. Krishna VeniProblem statement: Malignant melanoma is the most frequent type of skin cancer. Its incidence has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades. Medical image segmentation is the most essential and crucial process in order to facilitate the characterization and visualization of the structure of interest in medical images. Approach: This study explains the task of segmenting skin lesions in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 7 Oct 2011 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWavelet Analysis and Orthogonal Moments based Classification of Microcalcification in Digital MammogramsN. V.S. Sree Rathna Lakshmi, C. ManoharanProblem statement: An important early sign of breast cancer is the clusters of micro calcifications in digital mammograms. To assist radiologists in the diagnosis of mammographic clusters a novel hybrid algorithm has been developed. Approach: A method, for detecting micro calcification in mammograms based on combined feature set with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) was proposed. The diagonal matrix ‘S’ obtained … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 6 Aug 2011 · 6,562 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Rough Set based Gene Expression Clustering AlgorithmJ. Jeba Emilyn, K. RamarProblem statement: Microarray technology helps in monitoring the expression levels of thousands of genes across collections of related samples. Approach: The main goal in the analysis of large and heterogeneous gene expression datasets was to identify groups of genes that get expressed in a set of experimental conditions. Results: Several clustering techniques have been proposed for identifying gene signatures and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytotoxicity Studies of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Macrophage and Liver CellsAroonsri Priprem, Pramote Mahakunakorn, Chunpen Thomas, Ian ThomasSuperparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) prepared by simplified coprecipitation were attractive as MRI contrast agents and drug carriers which could internally be manipulated under the influence of an external magnetic field and also cancer treatment due to additional hyperthermia effects. Problem statement: Macrophage and liver cells are potentially exposed to internal SPIONs, thus used for this cytotoxic tests for safety … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2011 · 11,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Independent Rough Set Approach Hybrid with Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Dimensionality ReductionNambiraj Suguna, Keppana Gowder ThanushkodiProblem statement: Dimensionality reduction is viewed as an important pre-processing step for pattern recognition and data mining. As the classical rough set model considers the entire attribute set as a whole to find the subset, comparing all possible combinations of sets of attributes is difficult. Approach: In this study, we have introduced an improved Rough Set-based Attribute Reduction (RSAR) namely … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Phytochemical Contents and Antimicrobial Activities of Malaysian Calophyllum RubiginosumSuhaib Ibrahim ALkhamaiseh, Muhammad Taher, Farediah AhmadProblem statement: Many species of plants in Malaysia are widely used in folk medicine. However, Calophyllum species have been used in traditional medicine for their therapeutic values for many years. Several studies reported that antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-HIV and anti-cancer compounds were isolated from numerous Calophyllum species. Approach: The stem bark was extracted by EtOH, after with it was fractionated with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredicting Missing Attribute Values Using k-Means ClusteringNambiraj Suguna, Keppana Gowder ThanushkodiProblem statement: Predicting the value for missing attributes is an important data preprocessing problem in data mining and knowledge discovery tasks. Several methods have been proposed to treat missing data and the one used more frequently is deleting instances containing at least one missing value of a feature. When the dataset has minimum number of missing attribute values then we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Activity of Leaves of Calophyllum rubiginosumMuhammad Taher, Nissad Attoumani, Deny Susanti et al.Problem statement: Calophyllum species have been used in traditional medicine for their therapeutic values for many years. This use was explained by several previous studies where antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-HIV and anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds were isolated from several Calophyllum species. Approach: The leaves were extracted with n-hexane (hexane), dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol using soxhlet apparatus. Total phenolic contents of each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA 30 Year Old Man with Fever and Indolent Soft Tissue MassesWissam Zaeeter, Ashwin Jathavedam, Rosalyn StahlAbstract: Problem statement: Multifocal Skeletal Tuberculosis (MSTB) is a rare presentation of skeletal tuberculosis. The indolent nature of this condition often leads to delayed or missed diagnosis, sometimes with devastating consequences for the patient. In order to provide meaningful clinical information and to highlight pitfalls in diagnosis of MFST, we present a case of MSTB. A review of this condition … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,718 accessesView PDFCite
