Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNimble Protein Sequence Alignment in Grid (NPSAG)K. Somasundaram, S. RadhakrishnanIn Bio-Informatics application, the analysis of protein sequence is a kind of computation driven science which has rapidly and quickly growing biological data. Also databases used in these applications are heterogeneous in nature and alignment of protein sequence using physical techniques is expensive, slow and results are not always guaranteed/accurate. So this application requires cross-platform, cost-effective and more computing power … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,921 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethods of Utilizing Tropical Peat Land for Housing SchemeYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper discusses some of the methods and recent technologies in utilizing cheap marginal land such as tropical peat for housing scheme. Buildings on peat are usually suspended on piles, but ground around it may still settle. Therefore a suitable method of construction should be tackle to overcome serious problem such as localized sinking and slip failure, massive primary and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping UML Component Specifications to JEE ImplementationsJyhjong LinComponent-based Software Engineering (CbSE) has become a well-accepted approach for developing complex software systems due to its significant advantages on composition and reuse. In practice, however, its use still requires the conjunction of a component specification method that describes how system requirements are satisfied in terms of software components. Such a component specification is then implemented in a variety of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,478 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAd Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks Routing Protocols - A ReviewGeetha Jayakumar, G. GopinathMobile ad hoc networks(MANET) represent complex distributed systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self organize into arbitrary and temporary ad-hoc network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internet work in areas with no preexisting communication infrastructure e.g., disaster recovery environments. An ad-hoc network is not a new one, having been around in various forms … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 115,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDigital Identities and the Promise of the Technology Trio: PKI, Smart Cards, and BiometricsA. M. Al-Khouri, J. BalThis article looks at one of the evolving crimes of the digital age; identity theft. It argues and explains that if three key technologies were implemented together namely biometrics, smart cards, and PKI, then they can deliver a robust and trusted identification and authentication infrastructure. The article concludes that such infrastructure may provide the foundation for e-government and e-commerce initiatives … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Advances in the Synthesis of Artificial Antigen and Its Application in the Detection of Pesticide ResidueTong Dewen, Hesheng Yang, Wang JinyiRecent advances in the research of artificial antigen have shown that artificial antigens can be valuable approach for the treatment of some diseases as well as the detection of pesticide residues. By directly/indirectly coupling hapten to an appropriated carrier (macromolecule), artificial antigen can induce animals to produce hapten-specific antibody. Based on this principle, various vaccines have been developed. More impotently, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,614 accessesView PDFCite
