Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment or the EnvironmentSumit Kumar JaiswalProblem statement: The relationship between trade and environment is very complex though development and environment are invariably related to each other. There is a close relationship between development and conservation of the environment. The relationship between the WTO and MEAs is reducing and eliminating barriers to trade in environmental goods and services. This relation was acknowledged in 1972 Stockholm Conference … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Simulated Annealing For Optimal Operation of Multi-Reservoir SystemsF. Khodabakhshi, A. R. Ghirian, N. KhakzadThe need to optimize the operation of water reservoirs is an issue that is becoming increasingly a concern for water resources planners in developing countries. This issue particularly becomes more significant in large systems with multiple reservoirs where operation of one reservoir has an impact on the others. In other word, the set of reservoirs in these systems act like … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification of Textures by Avoiding Complex PatternsV. V. Kumar, B. E. Reddy, U. S.N. Raju, A. SureshThe present research advocates a new method for texture classification based on primitive patterns. For this, an optimal set of eight simple patterns are selected based on their discrimination. The percentage of frequency of occurrences is computed for these patterns on entire texture image. Textures can be classified by using frequency of occurrences, for complex patterns also. The present research … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 6,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSingle-Electron Transistor (SET) Process and Device Simulation Using SYSNOPSYS TCAD ToolsUda Hashim, Amiza RasmiSimulation of semiconductor device fabrication and operation is important to the design and manufacture of integrated circuits because it provides insights into complex phenomena that cannot obtained through experimentation or simple analytic models. Process and device simulation is commonly using for the design of new very large scale integration (VLSI) devices and processes. Simulation programs serves as exploratory tools in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNon-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms for Heterogeneous Embedded System DesignA. K. Rath, S. N. DehuriThe design of complex embedded systems involves the simultaneous optimization of several conflicting and competing objectives. Instead of a single global optimal solution, there exist a set of Pareto optimal solutions. In this study we have used a multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithms called non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA), which will suit to the requirements of designing a complex heterogeneous embedded … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of RNA-DNA Duplex Base Triplets to Antisense DrugsJie Yang, Yao Leng, Ju BaoSixty-four sets of three-dimensional models of RNA-DNA duplex base triplets were constructed based on codons by homology modeling method using software InsightII on Indigo workstation, which should be helpful for the study of RNA-DNA annealing, the basis of nucleic acids interactions and some peculiar motifs for design antisense oligonucleotides. Our research result reveal that the energies (such as E, Ec, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,531 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDFCite
