Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduced Microcracking Affects Osteoblast Attachment on Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Tissue EngineeringIan O. Smith, Melissa J. Baumann, Eldon D. CaseBone microdamage caused by routine activity plays an important role in triggering targeted and nontargeted bone remodeling. Targeted remodeling occurs near localized areas of microdamage[1-4]. We hypothesize that bone remodeling may be directly and positively influenced by inducing microcracks in hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. A study by Case et al. showed microcracking in HA discs having >98% … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,557 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Response Time of Authorization Process of Credit Card System Using Multi-Threading and Shared-Memory Pool TechniquesSiti H.A. Hamid, Mohd H.N.M. Nasir, Wong Y. Ming, Hazrina HassanCurrent credit card authorization was developed on single-threaded model whereby authentication process takes longer time to respond due to sequential process of card's risk management profile and its limitation of handling huge number of simultaneous transactions at single point of time. As a result, the performance of the authorization system was affected during peak hours. This study presented an architectural … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,236 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordData Extraction from Computer Acquired Images of a Given 3D Environment for Enhanced Computer Vision and its Applications in Kinematic Design of RobosK. SelvarajProblem statement: Literature review was mainly aiming at recognition of objects by the computer and to make explicit the information that is implicit in the attributes of 3D objects and their relative positioning in the 3D Environment (3DE) as seen in the 2D images. However quantitative estimate of position of objects in the 3DE in terms of their x, y … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,948 accessesView PDF Cite
