Here, we provide Web Service Registration Interface for the service providers along with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2014 · 6,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimization of ℓ2-Norm of the KSOR OperatorA. I. Alzaki, I. K. YoussefWe consider the problem of minimizing the ℓ2-norm of the KSOR operator when solving a linear systems of the form AX = b where, A = I +B (TJ = -B, is the Jacobi iteration matrix), B is skew symmetric matrix. Based on the eigenvalue functional relations given for the KSOR method, we find optimal values of the relaxation parameter … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 8 Jan 2013 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhyllanthus Amarus Facilitates the Recovery of Peripheral Nerve after InjuryPanakpaporn Wannannond, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: Peripheral nerve injuries are associated with morbidity and outcomes of peripheral nerve repair are poor. Moreover, it can subsequently leads to economic or social disability. Recent findings have shown that oxidative stress plays an important role on the functional recovery retardation of peripheral nerve. However, the impairment mentioned earlier is counteracted by antioxidant. Therefore, this study was carried … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 10 May 2012 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Recovery of Upper Limb Post-Stroke: Mental Practice with Motor and Non-Motor ImageryAline Furtado Bastos, Beatriz Cantanhede Carrapatoso, Marco Orsini et al.Problem statement: Mental Practice (MP) with motor imagery consists of a method of training in which motor imagery is used to improve performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of MP with motor imagery on motor recovery of the paretic upper limb of post-stroke patients in comparison with MP with non-motor imagery. Approach: Four post-stroke patients … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2012 · 9,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscovery of Evolutionary Divergence of Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Photosynthesis: Fine Tuning of Biogenesis of the NifH and the ChlL by a Peptidyl-Prolyl Cis/Trans IsomeraseNara Gavini, Sinny Delacroix, Kelvin Harris Jr., Lakshmi PulakatProblem statement: Despite the structural and functional similarities between the nitrogenase that performs biological nitrogen fixation reaction and the Dark Protochlorphyllide Oxidoreductase (DPOR) that performs chlorophyll-biosynthesis, attempts to substitute nitrogenase-components with DPOR-components have hitherto failed. This investigation was undertaken to test if Chlamydomonas reinhardtii protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) reductase (ChlL) that shares some structural similarity with Nitrogenase Reductase (NifH) could complement the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChildhood Cancer-a Hospital based study using Decision Tree TechniquesK. Kalaivani, R. ShanmugalakshmiProblem statement: Cancer is generally regarded as a disease of adults. But there being a higher proportion of childhood cancer (ALL-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) in India. The incidence of childhood cancer has increased over the last 25 years, but the increase is much larger in females. The aim was to increase our understanding of the determinants of south Indian parental reactions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 17 Oct 2011 · 7,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Polydextrose on Feces Consistency and Macronutrient Digestibility in Healthy DogsK. Vasupen, C. Yuangklang, A. C. Beynen, A. W.C. EinerhandProblem statement: There is evidence that the addition of 3% STA-LITE® polydextrose to a dry food reduces clinical signs of osteoarthritis in dogs. For the application of polydextrose as functional ingredient of dog foods, information as to its impact on the acceptance of food, feces consistency, fecal odor and digestibility of macronutrients and minerals is required. Approach: A feeding experiment … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2011 · 8,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Quality of Service Broker Based Process Model for Dynamic Web Service CompositionMaya Rathore, Ugrasen SumanProblem statement: With fast spreading of web services technology over the Internet, the quality aspects of a web service has received significant attention to the practitioners. The quality of web service includes both functional and nonfunctional details. In order to provide the correct and meaningful information to web service consumer, sometimes there is a need to compose existing web services … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 6,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Performance Improvement of Conventional Computer Numerical Control Machine Tool Bed with Hybrid Welded SteelS.S. Abuthakeer, P.V. Mohanram, G. MohankumarProblem statement: The advancements in machine tools to maximize the production by increasing spindle speeds have caused vibration in machine tools. The two functional requirements of machine tool bed for machine tools are high structural stiffness and high damping, which cannot be satisfied simultaneously if conventional metallic materials such as cast iron are employed. Hence there is a need to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 11,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Increased Physiological Arousal on Upper Extremity Reaction and Movement Times in Healthy Young AdultsChristopher Kovacs, Tamara BoriesProblem statement: Research has suggested that examining attentional demands during functional tasks is an emergent area of study. Increased arousal may represent an attentional demand, resulting in impaired motor functioning in tasks that require fast reaction and movement times. Approach: This study examined the effects of a non-specific stressor and the resultant physiological arousal on upper extremity functional measures of … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
