Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards An XML-Based Normalization for Healthcare Data ExchangesI. El Azami, M. M.O. Cherkaoui, C. TahonProblem statement: Most of healthcare data exchanges are textual, poorly structured and often not accessible by clinical professionals. Otherwise, the variety of medical applications and medical standards makes difficult sharing and communicating healthcare data in a highly heterogeneous environment. Approach: XML and related standards (XML schema, XSL) provided an infrastructure that might change the situation. Our aim in this study … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Studying Spatial Patterns and Association Between these Patterns of Mortality and Prosperity in MalaysiaFaisal G. Khamis, Abdul Aziz Jemain, Kamarulzaman IbrahimIn this study, we examined the geographical distribution (the spatial structure) of mortality and prosperity in Malaysia. In addition we proposed an approach to investigate the association between clustering patterns of mortality and prosperity across different areas of the country. To characterize the geographic pattern of mortality and prosperity, three indicators (infant, neonatal, and stillbirth) were proposed for mortality and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,936 accessesView PDFCite

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 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeature Selection in Data-Mining for Genetics Using Genetic AlgorithmV. N. Rajavarman, S. P. RajagopalanWe discovered genetic features and environmental factors which were involved in multifactorial diseases. To exploit the massive data obtained from the experiments conducted at the General Hospital, Chennai, data mining tools were required and we proposed a 2-Phase approach using a specific genetic algorithm. This heuristic approach had been chosen as the number of features to consider was large (upto … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,630 accessesView PDFCite
