Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Genetic Algorithm Based Multi Objective Service Restoration in Distribution SystemsSathish Kumar Kannaiah, Jayabarathi Thangavel, D. P. KothariProblem statement: A Genetic Algorithm (GA) used here to find exact or approximate solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms are a particular class of evolutionary algorithms that use techniques inspired by evolutionary biology such as inheritance, mutation, selection and crossover. Approach: GA is a method for search and optimization based on the process of natural selection and evolution. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Mar 2011 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrawing Meshed One-Line Diagrams of Electric Power Systems using a Modified Controlled Spring Embedder Algorithm Enhanced with Geospatial DataAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira MotaProblem statement: One-line diagrams are widely used in electrical power systems to provide a graphical view of state of the system and to assess its performance. Several methodologies and algorithms have been proposed to automatically draw the power system’s one-line diagram and provide satisfactory results for radial or small-size meshed networks. Nevertheless, actual power systems models are generally associated to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 8,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuitable Assimilation Model of Culture, Beliefs and Rites Concerning Deities of Buddhism and Hindu-Brahmanism for Peace of Thai Society in Bangkok and CircumferencesPhra Maha Kriangkrai Kaewchaiya, Suoneth Photisan, Makhawin PurisuttamoProblem statement: At present, Thai society widely assimilates culture, beliefs and rites concerning deities of Buddhism and Hindu-Brahmanism by worshipping the deity images at the temples or the abodes of gods in Bangkok and circumferences. A typical worship is to pray the deity for help. As a matter of fact, people should help themselves first and use a prayer as … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 8 Feb 2011 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Genetic Algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem with Multi-RelationsSupat PatvichaichodProblem statement: The aim of this research is to investigate the Traveling Salesman Problems with Multi-Relations (TSPMR) in which each of the vertices has several edges and different weights. The study concerns the weights fluctuated by time in which the problem has more complexity than general TSP problem. However, this type of problem closes to the real-world situation in engineering … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2011 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnostic Value of Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid Procalcitonin in Differentiation Bacterial from Aseptic MeningitisZhinous Bayat Makoo, Hamid Reza Soltani, Akbar Hasani et al.Problem statement: Acute bacterial meningitis is one of the most important causes of medical emergency diseases, which can cause high mortality and morbidity rates. Early antibiotic therapy is life saving in bacterial meningitis. One of the most common etiologies of acute meningitis is viral. Differentiation between bacterial and Aseptic meningitis is mandatory, which leads to avoid useless administration of antibiotics. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 12,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction for Determining Copy Numbers of Transgenes in Lesquerella fendleriGrace Qianhong Chen, Jiann-Tsyh LinProblem statement: In transgenic plants, the number of transgene copies could greatly influence the level of expression and genetic stability of the target gene, thus it is important to develop an efficient method for accurate estimation of transgene copies. The quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) technique is becoming more efficient nowadays to determine copy numbers of transgenes in transgenic plants, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRetrieval of Similar Shapes Under Affine Transform Using Affine Length ParameterizationA. Lakehal, O. El Beqqali, O. Ait ZemzamiProblem statement: In this study, a new descriptor for shape retrieval under affine transformations had been proposed; the affine length parameterization was used in this approach. Approach: The zero crossing of affine curvature was used to extract a descriptor of shapes in database. For each two successive zero crossing points we extract two parameters: the first parameter was a maximal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Aug 2010 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Modified Partially Mapped MultiCrossover Genetic Algorithm for Two-Dimensional Bin Packing ProblemM. Sarabian, L.S. LeeProblem statement: Non-oriented case of Two-Dimensional Rectangular Bin Packing Problem (2DRBPP) was studied in this study. The objective of this problem was to pack a given set of small rectangles, which may be rotated by 90°, without overlaps into a minimum numbers of identical large rectangles. Our aim was to improve the performance of the MultiCrossover Genetic Algorithm (MXGA) proposed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Tuberculin Skin Test and Interferon Gamma Assay for the Diagnosis Latent TuberculosisAbolfazl Poorhasan, Mehdi Haghdoost, Omid MashrabiProblem statement: After HIV infection, TB is the most common cause of mortality due to a single infectious agent. Until 1985, tuberculosis cases in the world were decreasing every year, but then with the prevalence of HIV infection, TB cases are increasing every year. Obviously, with this prevalence of tuberculosis, the best way to control it is to track the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurface Modification of Polystyrene Beads by Ultraviolet/Ozone Treatment and its Effect on Gelatin CoatingA. N. Yusilawati, M. Maizirwan, M. S. Hamzah et al.Problem statement: Polystyrene failed to provide any reactive functionality of surface hydrophilicity that is capable of binding proteins. It is known that polystyrene must be chemically modified to make its surface amenable to covalent crosslinking with protein. Approach: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of UV/ozone treatment on gelatin coating. The surfaces of microsize polystyrene beads … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,844 accessesView PDFCite
