Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping a System for Antibacterial Treatment of Dental Caries using Culture Based ApproachM. Mishra, S. Ghosh, L. E. Alex et al.Problem statement: Dental caries is a chronic disease worldwide, caused mainly by microbes. The orthograde approaches still remain the only option of treatment. Lack of rapid antibiotic sensitivity determination of the dental pathogen is a rate limiting step in the field of Dental Microbiology. Approach: The culture dependent analysis was used for the study of oral microflora from five healthy … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 18 May 2012 · 9,061 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution of Higher Order Ordinary Differential Equations by Direct Block CodeN. Waeleh, Z. A. Majid, F. Ismail, M. SuleimanProblem statement: This study is concerned with the development of a code based on 2-point block method for solving higher order Initial Value Problems (IVPs) of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) directly. Approach: The block method was developed based on numerical integration and using interpolation approach which is similarly as Adams Moulton type. Furthermore, the proposed method is derived in order … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2012 · 8,138 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMammogram Analysis Based on Pixel Intensity Mean FeaturesR. Nithya, B. SanthiProblem statement: In the recent years, Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) can be very useful for detection of breast cancer. Mammography can be used as an efficient tool for breast cancer diagnosis. A computer based diagnosis and classification system can reduce unnecessary biopsy. Approach: This study investigates a new approach to the classification of mammogram images based on pixel intensity mean … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Jan 2012 · 7,666 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation-Properties Relation of Mn-Cu Hopcalite CatalystArdita Mele, Ilo Mele, Altin MeleProblem statement: The Mn-Cu hopcalite catalyst was used for the conversion of CO to CO2 at low temperatures. It was the catalyst of choice in the gas masks for respiratory protection in mines, aircrafts, military, spatial laboratories. Approach: The efficiency of hopcalite catalyst depends on its surface parameters. Its surface characteristics can be influenced from the chosen way of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2011 · 7,888 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Classification of Cancer using Support Vector Machines and Modified Extreme Learning Machine based on Analysis of Variance FeaturesA. Bharathi, A.M. NatarajanProblem statement: The primary objective is to propose efficient cancer classification techniques which provide reliable and significant classification accuracy.
