Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemantic Refinement of Multi-meaning Words by T-normsF. Sadeghi, H. Khosravi, E. EslamiIn this paper we consider a multi-meaning word which appears in a sentence together with some connected words. To refine the meaning of this multi-meaning word, we propose a method based on T-norms which are reasonable mathematical models of logical conjunction operator in fuzzy logic. The preliminary results derived from a prepared corpus are encouraging. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-language Co-design Environment for Controller System DesignM. Benmohammed, S. MernizThe present research discuss the main issues and approaches to multi-language design. Two research directions are currently explored by the EDA community. The first is based on the computation models underlying the languages while the second deals with the specification languages themselves. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPharmacodynamic Comparison of the Carbapenems Against E. coli and Klebsiella spp. Containing Extended spectrum β-lactamasesKathryn J. Eagye, Joseph L. Kuti, David P. NicolauCarbapenems are the treatment of choice for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Ertapenem is a new member of the carbapenem class, and is often grouped with imipenem and meropenem as a recommended treatment for ESBLs. However, new in vitro data question ertapenem’s inclusion as a first line treatment for these bacteria, suggesting that ertapenem has a lower likelihood of obtaining appropriate pharmacodynamic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Text Mining Approach for Finding Protein-to-Disease AssociationsHisham Al-Mubaid, Rajit K. SinghDiscovering significant relationships between biological entities from text documents is an important task for biologists in order to develop biological models for research and discovery, especially with the existing gigantic amounts of biomedical documents and the rate at which they are increasing everyday. We propose a new text mining method to extract associations between biological entities from text documents; and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,012 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation and Visualization of Safing SensorKhaled M. Furati, Hattan Tawfiq, Abul Hasan SiddiqiNumerical simulations of Maxwell’s equations have attracted attention of several mathematicians and engineers in the recent past. Such solutions are required for proper understanding of industrial problems. In this paper we focus our attention on numerical simulation of safing sensor required by a car industry. Maxwell’s equation system models this industrial problem. We discuss numerical simulation by the fastful developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectrochemical Characteristics of Some Purpurins in Aqueous and Nonaqueous SolutionsFarouk A. Rashwan, Hossnia S. Mohran, Ahmed A. El-SamahyThe Electrochemical Impedance Technique (EIS) and the Cyclic Voltammetric method (CV) were used to investigate the behavior of purpurin (P), Anthrapurpurin (AP) and Benzopurpurin (BP) in aqueous and in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) media. In the CV experiments, both the radical and the dianion of these substances were assumed to form of limited stability due to chemical protonation. In case of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVHDL Specification Methodology from High-level SpecificationM. Benmohammed, S. MernizDesign complexity has been increasing exponentially this last decade. In order to cope with such an increase and to keep up designers' productivity, higher level specifications were required. Moreover new synthesis systems, starting with a high level specification, have been developed in order to automate and speed up processor design. This study presents a VHDL specification methodology aimed to extend … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Architecture for Improving Location Management in PCS NetworksHaidar Safa, Samuel PierreThis study proposes a new architecture for improving the location management in PCS networks. The proposed architecture employs several HLRs as opposed to one HLR in the IS-41 and GSM models. Indeed, the new architecture associates with each MU two types of HLRs ; a resident HLR that serves the location areas in which the MU often resides and a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBotulinum Toxin as a Novel Addition to Anti-Arthritis ArmamentariumHamid Namazi, Zahra MajdOsteoarthritis is the most common joint disease and is among the most frequent health problems for middle aged and older people. There is strong evidence that proinflammatory cytokines contribute to cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis. Interleukin-1 is the prototypical proinflammatory cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of cartilage matrix degeneration. Results from studies in animal models provide stronger evidence implicating a role … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,775 accessesView PDFCite
