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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrency Substitution in TurkeyIsmail H. Genc, Hasan Sahin, Turan ErolWe investigated whether the recent depreciations in the Turkish currency (Lira) resulted in the currency substitution away from Lira by using quarterly data over the period from 1987:1 to 2000: 2 with M1 and M2 monetary aggregates and income, interest rate and exchange rate. Other than the variety of monetary aggregates, we tried different ways of including the interest rate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Note on the Role of Abstraction and Generality in Software DevelopmentPavol Návrat, Roman FilkornAlthough the evolving field of software engineering introduces many methods and modelling techniques, we conjecture that the concepts of abstraction and generality are among the fundamentals of each such methodology. This study proposed a formal representation of these two concepts, along with a two-dimensional space for the representation of their application. Based on the examples, we further elaborate and discuss … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,972 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Fund Risk Management by Using New Software Tools TechnologyStephanos Papadamou, George StephanidesThis paper introduces a new MATLAB-based toolbox for Computer Aided mutual fund risk evaluation. In the age of computerized trading, financial services companies and independent investors must quickly investigate fund investment style and market risk. The Fund Risk toolbox is a financial software that includes a set of functions based on value at risk (VaR) and expected tail loss (ETL) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving Linear Programming Problems on the Parallel Virtual Machine EnvironmentJrJung Lyu, Hsing Luh, Ming-Chang LeeThis study developed a parallel algorithm to efficiently solve linear programming models. The proposed algorithm utilizes the Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition Principle and can be easily implemented in a general distributed computing environment. The analytical performance of the well-known method, including the speedup upper bound and lower bound limits, was derived. Numerical experiments are also provided in order to verify the complexity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Instabilities and Stochastic Pulsation at Laser-Plasma Interaction by Beam SmoothingFrederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThe key problem of direct drive laser fusion is the appearance of parametric instabilities, stochastic pulsation, self-focusing (filamentation) and other anomalies. During the long years studies, the empirical and intuitively developed methods for smoothing of the laser beam were rather successful but a transparent understanding of the physics has still to be found. The first theory how the instabilities are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,796 accessesView PDFCite
