Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHighly-Available, Collaborative, Trainable Communication – a Policy – Neutral ApproachChristian Schreibaumer, Isabella Stein, Eberhard DobermannScalable theory have led to many advances. Data flow is constantly growing and systems are expanding. Theoretical principles of red-black trees can help to build a scalable system, where data easily can expand and in the end energy is saved. We propose a novel solution, an organizational platform, an algorithm for the analysis of agents, which we call Mop. With … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 5 Apr 2018 · 9,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cocoa Pod Husk Compost Produced Using Rot Fungi on the Growth of Cocoa SeedlingsLaode Asrul, Iradhatullah Rahim, Tutik Kuswinanti et al.Rot fungi have the ability to decompose organic materials into simple compounds or elements as nutrients for plants. In the process, rot fungi produce secondary metabolites and absorb phosphate from their substrates so that the phosphate become available to plants. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of rot fungi isolated from decaying cocoa stems and to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2018 · 8,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProposed Soil Quality Index for Rehabilitated Tropical Forest Sites in MalaysiaDaljit Singh Karam, Arifin Abdu, Keeren Sundara Rajoo et al.A proposed soil quality index named Tropical Soil Quality Index 2 (TSQI2) was developed in this study using statistical analysed data of selected properties (physical, chemical and biological) of composite soil samples collected from natural, secondary and rehabilitated forests of Chikus and Tapah Hill Forest Reserves, Perak, Malaysia. Results of soil evaluation using TSQI2 showed higher values for planted forest … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 30 Dec 2016 · 8,156 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,740 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 · 7,046 accessesView PDFCite
