Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Comparative Study on Barrier Option Pricing using Antithetic and Quasi Monte-Carlo SimulationsNneka Umeorah, Phillip MasheleMonte-Carlo simulations have been utilized greatly in the pricing of derivative securities. Over the years, several variance reduction techniques have been developed to curb the instability, as well as, increase the simulation eﬃciencies of the Monte-Carlo methods. Our approach in this research work will consider the use of antithetic variate techniques to estimate the fair prices of barrier options. Next, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 May 2018 · 8,793 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNew Spring Wheat Mutation Resources with Improved Grain Quality, Metals Bioavailability and Yield ComponentsSaule Kenzhebayeva, Alfia Abekova, Guoping Zhang et al.Genetic variability in micronutrients is limited in wheat varieties. To broaden variation, seeds of cv. Eritrospermum-35 were irradiated with 100 and 200 Gy using 60Co, the treated seeds were grown to M7 generation with successive selection of the highest yield lines in each generation. Selected lines were evaluated for yield and grain quality traits such as iron, zinc and phytic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2018 · 8,672 accessesView PDF Cite

Research NotesOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Artificial Design Technique to Optimize Signal PeptideGao Cui-Fang, Wang Sen, Tian Feng-Wei et al.To determine optimal artificial signal peptide candidates for the possibility of creating high levels of secretion of heterologous proteins, substitution and redesign of amino acid sequences in the H-domain of the signal peptide was theoretically attempted. The method was based on comprehensive score matrix and Markov transfer matrix, which can make the artificial sequences maintain the structural characteristics and original … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2017 · 8,063 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBrevibacillus Thermoruber 9X-GLC, Bacteria Isolated from Hot Compost, Producer of a Beta-Glucosidase Resistant to Glucose InhibitionAlejandro Sosa-Peinado, María Eugenia Hidalgo-Lara, Miguel Ángel Plascencia-Espinosa et al.The thermotolerant strain Brevibacillus thermoruber 9X-GLC produces large amounts of β-D-glucosidase and cellobiohydrolase when grown on cellobiose and avicel. 9X-GLC was isolated from hot compost of sugarcane bagasse and filter mud and selected for its high enzymatic activity from a Bacilli collection of 77 isolates from soils and compost. Culture supernatants and ultrafiltered concentrates from shaken flask cultures of 9X-GLC … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 20 Oct 2017 · 8,153 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Fast Hybrid Algorithm Approach for the Exact String Matching Problem Via Berry Ravindran and Alpha Skip Search AlgorithmsAbdulwahab Ali AlmazroiProblem statement: String matching algorithm had been an essential means for searching biological sequence database. With the constant expansion in scientific data such as DNA and Protein; the development of enhanced algorithms have even become more critical as the major concern had always been how to raise the performances of these search algorithms to meet challenges of scientific information. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,398 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Control-Oriented Coverage Metric and its Evaluation for Hardware DesignsShireesh Verma, Kiran Ramineni, Ian G. HarrisProblem statement: Dynamic verification, the use of simulation to determine design correctness, is widely used due to its tractability for large hardware designs. A serious limitation of dynamic techniques is the difficulty in determining whether or not a test sequence is sufficient to detect all likely design errors. Coverage metrics are used to address this problem by providing a set … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,528 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance Comparison of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power Filter AlgorithmsMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuThe usage of parallel converters is ever increasing. However, the voltage and current harmonics, zero-sequence and negative- sequence components of voltage and current and reactive power present in parallel converters give an alarming signal to power system and power electronic engineers. This research discusses performance of three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) system using three different control techniques namely synchronous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,810 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDevelopment of Deduced Protein Database Using Variable Bit Binary EncodingB. Parvathavarthini, B. Rajesh Kanna, L. RajeswarideviA large amount of biological data is semi-structured and stored in any one the following file formats such as flat, XML and relational files. These databases must be integrated with the structured data available in relational or object-oriented databases. The sequence matching process is difficult in such file format, because string comparison takes more computation cost and time. To reduce … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,512 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNeural Networks for Interferences Suppression in DS/CDMA with Rayleigh Fading Channel and Power Control ErrorY. Jabrane, R. Iqdour, B. Ait Essaid et al.The exponential chip weighting waveforms have been designed with the purpose of multiple access interferences (MAI) rejection based on the concept that the optimum despreading sequence in reference emphasizes the transitions in the received spreading signal of interest. The despreading sequence weighted by exponential chip waveforms was determined by only one parameter. The objective of this study, was to introduce … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,382 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCASE REPORT OF A PATIENT WITH RARE P.ARG136CYS (APOE2*) MUTATION IN APOLIPOPROTEIN E GENEJana Lisyova, Jan Chandoga, Stanislav Oravec et al.Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a polymorphic glycoprotein associated with plasma lipoproteins and plays an essential role in the metabolism and clearance of plasma lipids. ApoE can represent the major genetic risk factor in development of premature atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and late-onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).
