Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Q-Routing Protocol Using Self-Aware Approach for Mobile Ad hoc NetworksAmal Alharbi, Abdullah Al-Dhalaan, Miznah Al-RodhaanMobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are self-organized networks that are characterized by dynamic topologies in time and space. This creates an instable environment, where classical routing approaches cannot achieve high performance. Thus, adaptive routing is necessary to handle the challenges in MANETs. Furthermore, it is necessary for nodes to be self-aware i.e., able to discover neighbors, links and paths when … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 7 Dec 2015 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpline Estimator for Bi-Responses and Multi-Predictors Nonparametric Regression Model in Case of Longitudinal DataAdji Achmad Rinaldo Fernandes, I Nyoman Budiantara, Bambang Widjanarko Otok, SuhartonoNonparametric regression approach is used when the shape of the curve regression is unknown. The spline estimator approach for longitudinal data can accommodate the correlation between observations within the same subject, which is not found in the cross-section data, so that the autocorrelation assumption problem can be resolved. On the other hand, with bi-responses approach, it will accommodate any correlation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 8 Oct 2015 · 7,337 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Quantitative Pharmacology on Drug DevelopmentAna Ruiz-Garcia, Kourosh ParivarThesuccess of drug development rests over two well defined pillars, a goodunderstanding of the drug’s clinical pharmacology and the appropriate targetpopulation for whom the clinical use is intended. The label for human prescription drugsrequires a good understanding of the pharmacological effects (pharmacodynamicsor PD) and the mechanism of action of the drug as well as detailed informationof the drug’s Pharmacokinetics (PK): … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Apr 2015 · 7,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Short Term in vitro Stress Hormone Exposure on Regulatory T Cell Number and Function in AsthmaKristina E. Rehm, Gailen D. Marshall, Jr.Asthma is characterized by alterations in the immune system, including regulatory T cells (Treg). Further alterations in Treg numbers and/or function caused by stress hormones may be a contributing factor in asthma pathogenesis. We compared Treg populations and the effects of Dexamethasone (DEX, a laboratory analog of cortisol) on Treg cell number and function in patients with asthma and a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2015 · 6,608 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION IN THE AUTOMATIC RECONSTRUCTION OF FRAGMENTED OBJECTSNada A. Rasheed, Md Jan NordinThe reconstruction of archaeological objects is a very challenging problem and solving this problem is important. Occasionally, archaeological workers suffer when trying to match object fragments together, especially when there is a presence of significant gaps in the fragments, or even in the case of similarity, where fragments are mixed with fragments of other objects. The main theme of this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 20 Dec 2014 · 8,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Broadcast Group Management Protocol for Secure, Scalable and Efficient Group CommunicationM. Sayee Kumar, T. PurusothamanIn hasty growth of communication, security plays a central role in maintaining confidentiality of data in group communication. Keeping the data intended for the group in confidential manner is the most important security feature need to be sustained for the group communication. An efficient group key management mechanism named as Hybrid Broadcast Group Management Protocol (HBGMP) is devised based on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2014 · 7,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA DATA WAREHOUSE DESIGN FOR THE DETECTION OF FRAUD IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN BY USING THE BENFORD’S LAWCornelia Kraus, Raul ValverdeLarge data volumes and the inability to analyse them enables fraudulent activities to go unnoticed in supply chain management processes such as procurement, warehouse management and inventory management. This fraud increases the cost of the supply chain management and a fraud detection mechanism is necessary to reduce the risk of fraud in this business area. This study was carried out … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 7 Jul 2014 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL ROBUST AND EFFICIENT TOOL FOR DETECTING HETEROSCEDASTICITYWei Xiong, Maozai TianOne of the greatest values of Quantile Regression (QR) is that it provides a good procedure in the sense that QR could be much more efficient and sometimes arbitrarily more efficient in recovering the mean function than the Least Squares (LS) even when without moment conditions. However, heteroscedasticity definitely causes conditional variances of parametric or nonparametric estimates of mean functions … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 21 Mar 2014 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
