EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHomology Modeling of Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Interferon-Tau ProteinIndu Joshi, Sunil Kumar, Arminder Kaur et al.Interferon-tau (IFNt) contributes towards maternal recognition of pregnancy in ruminants (like, cattle, buffalo, goat, giraffe). IFNt has been extensively studied in most of the ruminants except for buffalo Bubalus bubalis). The present study has been undertaken to predict the secondary structure of Interferon-tau in buffalo. The available amino acid sequence of bubaline IFNt (sequence database of SwissProt) was subjected to … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2013 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistory Based Probabilistic Backoff AlgorithmNarendran Rajagopalan, C. MalaPerformance of Wireless LAN can be improved at each layer of the protocol stack with respect to energy efficiency. The Media Access Control layer is responsible for the key functions like access control and flow control. During contention, Backoff algorithm is used to gain access to the medium with minimum probability of collision. After studying different variations of back off … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2012 · 7,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensity Functional Theory Based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Study of 2,5-Bis(1-Aziridinyl)-p-Benzoquinones with Lymphoid LeukemiaBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. EliasProblem statement: QSAR techniques increase the probability of success and reduce time and coast in drug discovery process. The study presented QSAR investigation on 32 bioactive aziridinylbenzoquinones that have activity against lymphoid leukemia. Approach: Molecular descriptors, molecular weight, total energy, hardness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, HOMO and LUMO energies were calculated. Initial geometry optimizations were carried out with the AM1 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fixed Point Theorems in L-Fuzzy Quasi-Metric SpacesReza Saadati, S. Mansour VaezpourAt first we considered the L-fuzzy metric space notation which is useful in modeling some phenomena where it is necessary to study the relationship between two probability functions as well observed in Gregori et al. [A note on intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces. Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 2006; 28: 902-905]. Then we introduced the concept of fixed point theorem in L-fuzzy … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFLANN Detector Based Filtering of Images Corrupted by Impulse NoiseBanshidhar Majhi, Mowafak FathiWe present a novel non-linear scheme for image restoration based on neuro-detector using Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) followed by an improved spatial filter. The method is applied to images corrupted by impulse noise with varying strengths and different noise probability. The neural detector is based on the concept of training or learning by examples. When trained properly, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIs Air Pollution Controlled Enough? “Tapered Probabilities” AnswerRamalingam ShanmugamAir pollution is dangerous sespecially to the residents in cities, as it causes lung, heart, or respiratory illness. Public health professionals ponder whether the air pollution is significantly controilled. The amount of existing air pollution is measurable, but not its regulated level, which is therefore as a parameter in a novel manner in this article. However, there is no suitable … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 6 Nov 2017 · 12,733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA General Probability Distribution Using Burmann Power SeriesRichard F. Patterson, Pali SenThe goal of this study is to present a general power series distribution that exhibits the properties of some well known distributions. To accomplish this goal we examine an infinite sequence of independent random variables having a Bürmann’s power series distribution. Consequently, we derive moment generating function of the distribution and establish the maximum likelihood estimate of the component that … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOdds to Quicken Reporting Already Delayed Cases: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Incidences are IllustratedRamalingam ShanmugamDelayed reporting in a medical system complicates efforts to estimate the number of cases that occurred in a time period. A case in point is the government’s difficulty to estimate the number of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cases. The reporting delays are not intentional but are ongoing due to changing Federal regulations or medical definitions of the case like … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2013 · 6,415 accessesView PDFCite
