Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDESIGN OF CANDIDA ANTARCTICA LIPASE B THERMOSTABILITY IMPROVEMENT BY INTRODUCING EXTRA DISULFIDE BOND INTO THE ENZYMEUsman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Ahmad Randy, Arli Aditya ParikesitCandida Antarctica Lipase B (CALB) is extensively studied in enzymatic production of biodiesel, pharmaceutical products, detergents and other chemicals. One drawback of using CALB is its relatively low optimum temperature at 313 K (40°C). The objective of this research is to design CALB mutant with improved thermostability by introducing extra disulfide bond. Molecular dynamic simulation was conducted to get better … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2014 · 9,492 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuery Tuning in Oracle DatabaseNofri Alhadi, Kamsuriah AhmadOracle database is well suited to use for managing and exchanging of corporate data, especially for companies that have large-scale databases. Even though Oracle can work best, however, there are conditions where Oracle does not perform well and consume more time to perform the query transaction. This is when the database tuning process is needed. This process will solve the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Nov 2012 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Exponential Particle Swarm Optimization K-Means Algorithm for Efficient Image SegmentationK. M. Murugesan, S. PalaniswamiThe introduction of unsupervised learning techniques like K-means inside the domain of Image Processing plays a vital role in Image Segmentation. The hybridization of this Algorithm by using Swarm Intelligent techniques further more improves the efficiency. Various works on hybridization of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with K-means have been proposed and are found to be efficient in Image Segmentation. However, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 25 Oct 2012 · 7,141 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSequential Multiple Response Optimization for Manufacturing Flexible Printed CircuitPichpimon Kanchanasuttisang, Pongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Flexible Printed Circuit or FPC, one of automotive electronic parts, has been developed for lighting automotive vehicles by assembling with the LED. The quality performances or responses of lighting vehicles are relied on the circuit width of an FPC and the etched rate of acid solution. According to the current operating condition of an FPC company, the capability … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 6,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Medicine-Prospects and ChallengesC. N. Ramchand, R. Sripathy, N. Somashekara et al.Drug discovery and development is a process that rationally leads to instigation of compound or formulation for the treatment of particular disease/diseased condition by acting on its specific target (s). Most of the drugs identified by conventional drug discovery process were as a result of unsystematic, random and serendipitous approach. Enhancement of knowledge in the field of biotechnology, molecular biology … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2012 · 7,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDerivation of the Limits for Control Chart Using the Median Absolute Deviation for Monitoring Non-Normal ProcessK. S. Adekeye, P. I. AzubuikeProblem statement: The Shewhart and S control charts, in the literature, were combined to evaluate the stability of a process. These charts were based on the fundamental assumption of normality of the quality characteristics under investigation. Approach: In practice, the normality assumption was often violated by real life data, therefore, use of the Shewhart and S control charts on real … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2011 · 8,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobility and Density Aware AODV Protocol Extension for Mobile Adhoc Networks-MADA-AODVS. Deepa, G.M. Kadhar NawazProblem statement: In this study, we proposed a method to improve the performance of AODV by reducing overhead by adopting a route message propagation mechanism. According to the new scheme, a node will be selected to forward a routing request message if and only if a condition based on its mobility (speed) and number of neighbors is satisfied. If the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2011 · 7,282 accessesView PDFCite
