EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractROTATING A MEMS INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT FOR A FOOT-MOUNTED PEDESTRIAN NAVIGATIONKhairi Abdulrahim, Chris Hide, Terry Moore, Chris HillPedestrian navigation especially indoors suffers from the unavailability of useful GNSS signals for positioning. Alternatively, a low-cost Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) positioning system that does not depend on the GNSS signal can be used for indoor navigation. However its performance is still compromised because of the fast-accumulating heading drift error affecting such a low-cost IMU sensor. This results in a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 5 Jan 2015 · 8,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF AMBIENT AIR CONDITIONS ON LOW FREQUENCY NEGATIVE CAPACITANCE OF NC-TIO2/P3HT HETEROJUNCTION SOLAR CELLSH. Al-DmourWe report the negative capacitance of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide/poly (3-hexyl thiophene), nc-TiO2/P3HT, heterojunction solar cells. In air, low frequency negative capacitance has been observed under forward bias associated with high values of conductance. Interestingly, the negative capacitance disappear when the device was placed in vacuum chamber. These results are attributed to affect the ambient conditions on the charge carrier concentration … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 28 May 2014 · 6,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Ovine Haemogram: Cell-Dyn 3500 Versus Manual MethodsLabrini V. Athanasiou, Constantinos G. Giannakopoulos, Zoe S. Polizopoulou et al.Manual hematology techniques traditionally applied in farm animal medicine are time consuming and labor-intensive, especially when large numbers of samples have to be processed. As a result, several automated hematology instruments have been developed for use in these species. An automated hematology analyzer (Abbott Cell-Dyne 3500 system) was used in performing a complete blood cell count and differential counts of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2013 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA MODIFIED ADAPTIVE WAVELET SHRINKAGE SPECKLE FILTER FOR ULTRASOUND IMAGESNirmaladevi Periyasamy, Asokan RamasamyThe usage of ultrasound imaging for medical diagnosis is limited due to the presence of speckle noise. In this study Modified Adaptive Wavelet Shrinkage Filter (MAWSF) in the translational invariant domain is proposed for the removal of speckle noise. The adaptive wavelet threshold function removes the fixed bias of soft thresholding. A new inter-scale dependency model is proposed, to perform … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 16 Sep 2013 · 6,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKernel Type Estimator and Statistical Properties for Intensity Function of Periodic Poisson Process with Power Function TrendRo’fah Nur RachmawatiProblem statement: In this study, we construct the estimation for a periodic component of the intensity function of a periodic Poisson process in the presence of power function trend by using the general kernel function. Beside that we also construct the statistical properties of the estimator. Approach: It is considered the worst case where there is only available a single … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 6 Nov 2012 · 7,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrying Characteristics of the Borneo Canarium odontophyllum (Dabai) FruitDayang Fredalina Basri, Ahmad Fudholi, Mohd Hafidz RuslanThe quality and shelf-life of an underutilized fruits are compromised by the conventional method of drying. We therefore proposed using hot-air chamber to develop the drying curves of Canarium odontophyllum (dabai) fruit. Present study provides evidence of the best mathematical model to demonstrate the drying characteristics of this indigenous fruit and thus, may generate or add to the existing database. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 5 Sep 2012 · 8,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility Pattern of M.Tuberculosis Isolated from Patients Attending a Private HospitalD. Sureshkumar, Ram GopalakrishnanProblem statement: Drug resistance in Tuberculosis (TB) is an emerging problem that adversely affects patient outcome and public health in the developing world. Although much of tuberculosis care is provided by the private sector in India, the magnitude of drug resistance in TB in the private sector is not well described. The present study was carried out to determine the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2011 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality of Life of the Elderly ResidentsFereshteh Farzianpour, Shayan Hosseini, Maryam Rostami et al.Problem statement: A preliminary investigation of the Orem self-care training effects on the Quality Of Life (QOL) of the health care centers’ elderly residents in the city of Masjed Solaiman, Iran. Approach: The Orem self-care training was administered to 349 elderly free of chronic disorders (aged 65 and older). The eligible participants were selected from 11 health centers. The training … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 5 Nov 2011 · 8,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Predator Go for Size Selection or Preferential Toxic-Nontoxic Species Under Limited Resource?Joydeep Pal, S. Bhattacharya, J. ChattopadhyayProblem statement: Selectivity is common in predator-prey interaction but the selection mechanism is still unexplored and a debatable issue in modern theoretical and experimental ecology for numerous species across the globe. In present investigation we emphasized the hypothesis that the zooplankton is less inclined to opt the food based on size selectivity criteria than the preferential selectivity for the safe … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
