Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Immune Response to T. verrucosum VaccinesRasha Nabil Zahran, Eman Attia AbdeenDermatophytosis is considered as one of the most important fungal skin disease affecting both humans and animals otherwise its importance as zoonotic disease. Treatment of ringworm in cattle is expensive and time consuming especially on herd level. Vaccination can be a giant step forward to prevent the occurrence of mycozoonosis between the affected animals with ringworm and susceptible man.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractACCURATE AND FAST PUPIL LOCALIZATION USING CONTRAST STRETCHING, SEED FILLING AND CIRCULAR GEOMETRICAL CONSTRAINTSIman A. Saad, Loay E. George, Ahmad A. TayyarIris segmentation is the most contested issue in the iris recognition system, since noise and poor image quality can significantly affect accuracy of iris localization stage. Therefore, very careful attention has to be paid for the segmentation process if only an accurate result is expected. This study presents a new method for precise pupil detection capable of handling the unconstrained … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Nov 2013 · 7,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistributed Cluster Based Routing Technique with Multiple Sinks for Wireless Sensor NetworksS. V. Manisekaran, R. VenkatesanProblem Statement: In order to reduce or minimize energy consumption and to improve bandwidth utilization in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), it was essential to consider its architecture in the network topology, power consumption, data rate and fault tolerance. Our objective is to formulate an effective cluster formation of nodes with multiple sinks to reduce power consumption and minimize the data … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 28 Jun 2012 · 6,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolicy Decisions for a Price Dependent Demand Rate Inventory Model with Progressive Payments SchemeMukesh Kumar, Rajat KumarProblem statement: In this proposed research, we developed an inventory model to formulate an optimal ordering policies for supplier who offers progressive permissible delay periods to the retailer to settle his/her account. We assumed that the annual demand rate as a decreasing function of price with constant rate of deterioration and time-varying holding cost. Shortages in inventory are allowed which … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBrain Abscess Complicating an Intracranial HemorrhageM.D. Vikramjit Mukherjee, M.D. Maria Elena RuizProblem statement: A brain abscess presenting after an Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) is an extremely rare occurrence. Diagnosis in this setting is difficult, given the absence of key clinical features, such as neurologic deficit and headaches. Since a delay in the diagnosis of a brain abscess leads to poor outcomes, there should be a high index of suspicion for abscess in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Algorithmic Cost Estimation Model Based on Soft Computing TechniqueIman Attarzadeh, Siew Hock OwProblem statement: Software development effort estimation is the process of predicting the most realistic use of effort required for developing software based on some parameters. It has always characterized one of the biggest challenges in Computer Science for the last decades. Because time and cost estimate at the early stages of the software development are the most difficult to obtain … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Discretized Algorithm for Optimal Problems Constrained by Differential Equation with Real CoefficientsO. OlotuA discretized scheme, Discretized Continuous Algorithm (DCA), for solving constrained quadratic optimal control problems was developed to ease the computational cumbersomeness inherent in some existing algorithms, particularly, the Function Space A lgorithm (FSA) by replacing the integral by a series of summation. In order to accomplish this numerical scheme, we resort to a finite approximation of it by discretizing its … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite
