Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Harmony Search to Vehicle RoutingZong Woo Geem, Kang Seok Lee, Yongjin ParkA phenomenon-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, harmony search, imitating music improvisation process, is introduced and applied to vehicle routing problem, then compared with one of the popular evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithm. The harmony search algorithm conceptualized a group of musicians together trying to search for better state of harmony. This algorithm was applied to a test traffic network composed of one bus … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 12,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPattern Classification: An Improvement Using Combination of VQ and PCA Based TechniquesAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. Paliwal, Godfrey C. OnwuboluThis study firstly presents a survey on basic classifiers namely Minimum Distance Classifier (MDC), Vector Quantization (VQ), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Nearest Neighbor (NN) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Then Vector Quantized Principal Component Analysis (VQPCA) which is generally used for representation purposes is considered for performing classification tasks. Some classifiers achieve high classification accuracy but their data storage requirement and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm for Assigning Cells to Switches in Wireless NetworksMatthieu Andr, Gilles Pesant, Samuel PierreThe problem of assigning cells to switches in wireless networks consists of minimizing the total operating cost, that is, the cost of linking cells to switches and the cost of handover from one cell to another, by taking into account factors such as network topology, switch capacity and traffic load in the entire network. Such a problem is well known … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,748 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Mercury from chlor-alkali Industry Wastewater using Acetobacter xylinum CelluloseA. Rezaee, J. Derayat, S. B. Mortazavi et al.In this study, the removal of mercury ions by cellulose of Acetobacter xylinum was investigated in the synthetic and chlor-alkali wastewater. Biofilms of Acetobacter xylinum were grown in laboratory column bioreactors. The biofilms were continuously treated with sterile synthetic model wastewater or nonsterile, neutralized chloralkali wastewater.The extent of adsorption was studied as function of pH, adsorbent dose and contact time. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,283 accessesView PDFCite

The objective of this work is to study the operation of the plans in the field of controlling and checking low … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,511 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of a Novel Concatenated FEC by RS and Irregular Turbo Codes on OFDM SystemsA. Shanmugam, A. R. Abdul Rajak, S. Vishwanath, R. UpendraCode Division Multiple Access (CDMA) performs well in a multi-cellular environment where a single frequency is used in all cells. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) has severe problems associated with multipath and Channel news. One possible problem is that the receiver may require a very large dynamic range in order to handle the large signal strength variation among users. Due … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteraction of a C-terminal Truncated Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein with Plasmid DNA Vaccine Leads to in vitro Assembly of Heterogeneous Virus-like ParticlesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Joanna Poutou, Alexis Mussachio et al.Recently, it has been shown that HCV core proteins (HCcAg) with C-terminal deletions assemble in vitro into virus-like particles (VLPs) in the presence of structured RNA molecules. Results presented in this work showed that a truncated HCcAg variant covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120) with a 32 aa N-terminal fusion peptide (6xHistag-XpressTMepitope) interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine. Interestingly, the buoyant … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDFCite
