Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCustomized Privacy Preservation Using Unknowns to Stymie Unearthing Of Association RulesJ. Indumathi, G.V. UmaThe explosions of new data mining techniques has augmented privacy risks because now it is probable to powerfully coalesce and cross-examine massive data stores, accessible on the web, in the rummage around of earlier unidentified hidden patterns. Consecutively to make a overtly accessible system safe and sound, we must guarantee not only that private sensitive data have been trimmed out, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,117 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrientation Detection of Sensed Objects using a Four Sensor Tactile System with Applications in Bio-RoboticsAshkan Mirbagheri, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheA novel approach is presented that can be used in determining the sensitivity of a four sensor tactile sensor to the orientation of the contacted objects. Computer simulations were conducted by using a rectangular probe of 14 mm by 7 mm size and applying three magnitudes of forces, i.e., 0.5, 1, and 2 N. A bi-variate function was obtained, showing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BI-RADS Based Expert Systems for the Diagnoses of Breast DiseasesUmi Kalthum Ngah, Shalihatun Azlin Aziz, Mohd. Ezane Aziz et al.We proposed an expert system based on the interpretation of mammographic and ultrasound images that may be used by expert and non-expert doctors in the interpretation and classifying of patient cases. The expert system software consists of a mammographic (MAMMEX) and breast ultrasound (SOUNDEX) medical expert systems which may be used to deduce cases according to the Breast Imaging Recording … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of Listeria monocytogenes in Processed Meat by a Combined Cultural-molecular MethodAngela Ingianni, Marta Quartuccio, Maria Antonietta Madeddu et al.The isolation and identification of Listeria monocytogenes in processed meat samples by a combined cultural-molecular method is described. It allows the identification of Listeria strains by means of a hybridization technique with a specific DNA probe directed to the listerial internalin gene. The specificity of this method was found to be 100% and sensitivity was as low as 1 CFU/2.5 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStomatal Resistance to Low Leaf Water Potential at Different Growth Stages Affects Plant Biomass in Glycine max L.F.B. Adejare, C.E. UmebeseTwo cultivars of Glycine max (L) Merril. (TGX536-02D and TGX 923-2E designated cv.A and cv.B respectively), were subjected to water stress for a period of 7 days at the vegetative (T2), flowering/fruiting (T3) and seed development (T4) stages of growth, with a control (T1). Stress was considered moderate at T2 stage (ψw : -1.53 to -1.57 MPa) and severe at … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWavelet and ANN Based Relaying for Power Transformer ProtectionS. Sudha, A. Ebenezer JeyakumarThis paper presents an efficient wavelet and neural network (WNN) based algorithm for distinguishing magnetizing inrush currents from internal fault currents in three phase power transformers. The wavelet transform is applied first to decompose the current signals of the power transformer into a series of detailed wavelet components. The values of the detailed coefficients obtained can accurately discriminate between an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Advances in the Synthesis of Artificial Antigen and Its Application in the Detection of Pesticide ResidueTong Dewen, Hesheng Yang, Wang JinyiRecent advances in the research of artificial antigen have shown that artificial antigens can be valuable approach for the treatment of some diseases as well as the detection of pesticide residues. By directly/indirectly coupling hapten to an appropriated carrier (macromolecule), artificial antigen can induce animals to produce hapten-specific antibody. Based on this principle, various vaccines have been developed. More impotently, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Acute-phase Reactants, Immunologic Markers and other Clinical and Laboratory Parameters in Patients with Pneumonia and Non-pneumonic Lower Respiratory Tract InfectionsJulio Collazos, María del Mar Martínez, Fernando IzquierdoMore efficacious tools to distinguish pneumonia from other acute lower respiratory tract infections (OALRTI) in facilities where radiologic studies are not easily or rapidly available are desirable to select the patients who should undergo chest radiographs, to avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency wards of hospitals and to optimize health resources. To this end we analyzed the relevance of many … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch Note: Predicting MRSA Colonization of the Hospitalized Patient on AdmissionRocco J. Perla, Gail E. Cormier, Eric L. Knutson et al.The primary aim of this brief and exploratory study was to examine the ability of two Infection Control Practitioners in a medium size community hospital to effectively predict the MRSA colonization status of patients on admission compared to a standard MRSA screen in real time using only their clinical judgment and review of selected hospital documents. Sensitivity and specificity results … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical Properties and Sugar Content Determination of Commercial Carbonated Drinks using Surface Plasmon ResonanceW. Y.W. Yusmawati, H. P. Chuah, M. Y.W. MahmoodIn this study, an optical sensor based on Kretschmann SPR technique was used to detect the sugar content in commercial carbonated drinks. Three samples of carbonated drinks labeled as "Coke", "100 Plus" and "F&N Orange" have been chosen for angle scan SPR measurements. All the measurements were carried out at room temperature using He-Ne laser beam (632.8nm, 5mW) as a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 8,784 accessesView PDFCite
