Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPyrosequencing-An Alternative to Traditional Sanger SequencingMd Fakruddin, Abhijit ChowdhuryProblem statement: Pyrosequencing has the potential to rapidly and reliably sequence DNA taking advantages over traditional Sanger di-deoxy sequencing approach. Approach: A comprehensive review of the literature on the principles, applications, challenges and prospects of pyrosequencing was performed. Results: Pyrosequencing was a DNA sequencing technology based on the sequencing-by-synthesis principle. It employs a series of four enzymes to accurately detect … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2012 · 12,887 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Medical Image SegmentationNandagopalan Shanmugam, Adiga B. Suryanarayana, Sudarshan TSB et al.Problem statement: Segmentation is a vital aspect of medical imaging. It aids in the visualization of medical data and diagnostics of various diseases. Ultrasound image segmentation, in particular echocardiographic image segmentation, is required to identify the regions of interest such as Left Ventricle (LV) and other cardiac cavities. Existing methods do not address the drawbacks of speed and quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,214 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Performance of Backpropagation Neural Network Algorithm for Image Compression/Decompression SystemOmaima N.A. AL-AllafProblem statement: The problem inherent to any digital image is the large amount of bandwidth required for transmission or storage. This has driven the research area of image compression to develop algorithms that compress images to lower data rates with better quality. Artificial neural networks are becoming attractive in image processing where high computational performance and parallel architectures are required. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 26 Oct 2010 · 8,370 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimenting the Simulation Strategy of Membrane Computing with Gillespie Algorithm by Using Two Biological Case StudiesRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd ZinProblem statement: The evolution rules of membrane computing have been applied in a nondeterministic and maximally parallel way. In order to capture these characteristics, Gillespie’s algorithm has been used as simulation strategy of membrane computing in simulating biological systems. Approach: This study was carried to discuss the simulation strategy of membrane computing with Gillespie algorithm in comparison to the simulation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 6,941 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLoad Allocation Model for Scheduling Divisible Data Grid ApplicationsMonir Abdullah, Mohamed Othman, Hamidah Ibrahim, Shamala SubramaniamProblem statement: In many data grid applications, data can be decomposed into multiple independent sub-datasets and distributed for parallel execution and analysis. Approach: This property had been successfully employed by using Divisible Load Theory (DLT), which had been proved as a powerful tool for modeling divisible load problems in data-intensive grid. Results: There were some scheduling models had been studied … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,900 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Embeddings of Hamiltonian Paths and Cycles in Extended Fibonacci CubesIoana Zelina, Grigor Moldovan, Ioana TascuThe interconnection network is an essential component of a distributed system or of a supercomputer based on large-sale parallel processing. Because in distributed systems the communication between processors is based on message exchange, the network topology is of a great importance. The interconnection network can be seen as a graph and the properties of a network can be studied using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,281 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Discrete Time Markov Chain with Correlated Transition ProbabilitiesPeerayuth CharnsethikulThis study presents a computational procedure for analyzing statistics of steady state probabilities in a discrete time Markov chain with correlations among their transition probabilities. The proposed model simply uses the first order Taylor’s series expansion and statistical expected value properties to obtain the resulting linear matrix equations system. Computationally, the bottleneck is O(n4) but can be improved by distributed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,648 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Merged DSP Microcontroller for Embedded Systems using Discrete Orthogonal TransformA. K. Rath, P. K. MeherIn this paper we have proposed the design of a DSP microcontroller where the processor load is significantly reduced by relegating the math-intensive DSP algorithm to dedicated transform computing modules. It is shown that the use of such transform modules will facilitate scalability, reusability and flexibility for implementation of wide varieties of DSP functionalities. Moreover, it would be possible to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDF Cite
