Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of a Putative Functional Region in the Human Bax Protein by Computational AnalysisMaría Sánchez-Aguilar, Laurence A. Marchat, Absalom ZamoranoStructural domains are relevant elements for interactions between Bcl-2 family members to regulate apoptosis and cell survival. Although BH1-BH4 domains can be identified by their sequence and selective occurrence in Bcl-2-family members, structural regions have not been entirely determined yet. The functional residues of Bax, the most representative pro-apoptotic protein of the human Bcl-2 family, remain almost unknown. Here, we … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy-GAs Model for Determining Varied Irrigation EfficiencyAnongrit Kangrang, Chavalit ChaleeraktrakoonIrrigation efficiency is necessary information in water resource management. We proposed fuzzy sets approach for estimating varied irrigation efficiency. Genetic algorithms technique was applied to calibrate membership function of fuzzy model. The fuzzy sets technique considered the uncertainty of the available water resource and required area as the input variables. The approach model was applied to determine the fluctuated irrigation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeaker Identification: A Hybrid Approach Using Neural Networks and Wavelet TransformMuzhir Shaban Al-Ani, Thabit Sultan Mohammed, Karim M. AljeboryIn speaker identification systems, a database is constructed from the speech samples of known speakers. The approach implemented in this paper is hybrid, where the wavelet transform and neural networks are used together to form a system with improved performance. Features are extracted by applying a discrete wavelet transform (DWT), while a neural network (NN) is used for formulating the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of AODV in Wireless Ad Hoc NetworksZeyad M. Alfawaer, GuiWei Hua, Nidal A. HamdehAODV is a mature and widely accepted routing protocol for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), it has low processing and memory overhead and low network utilization, and works well even in high mobility situation. We modified AODV to use these dominating sets, resulting in the AODV-DS protocol. Our contribution in addressing the fragility of a minimum connected dominating set in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCASRA+: A Colloquial Arabic Speech Recognition ApplicationRamzi A. Haraty, Omar El ArissThe research proposed here was for an Arabic speech recognition application, concentrating on the Lebanese dialect. The system starts by sampling the speech, which was the process of transforming the sound from analog to digital and then extracts the features by using the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). The extracted features are then compared with the system's stored model; in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuccessful Treatment of Both Mother and Infant in Pregnancy-Associated Group A Streptococcal Toxic Shock SyndromeTakayuki Tanaka, Kousaku Matsubara, Yumiko Umemoto et al.All perinatal cases of group A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) previously documented in English literature have been fatal for the mother, the fetus or both. We present the first report of successful treatment of a mother-infant pair with perinatal STSS. A pregnant woman developed STSS at 34 weeks’ gestation 3 h after delivery, following a 25-h history of fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,093 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Crude Aqueous Extract of Piper betle L. and its Antibacterial Effect Towards Streptococcus mutansT. Nalina, Z.H.A. RahimIn this study, the antimicrobial influence of crude aqueous extract of Piper betle L. on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) was investigated. The focus of the antimicrobial effects includes the ultrastructure and acid producing properties of S. mutans. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to determine the effect of the extract on the ultrastructure of S. mutans. Analysis of the effect … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 13,465 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnconventional Approach for Demineralization of Deproteinized Crustacean Shells for Chitin ProductionN.S. Mahmoud, A.E. Ghaly, F. ArabChitin is a versatile environmentally friendly modern material. It has a wide range of applications in areas such as water treatment, pulp and paper, biomedical devices and therapies, cosmetics, membrane technology and biotechnology and food applications. Crustacean waste is the most important chitin source for commercial use. Demineralization is an important step in the chitin purification process from crustacean waste. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethodology of Compliant Mechanisms and its Current Developments in Applications: A ReviewSolehuddin Shuib, M.I.Z. Ridzwan, A. Halim KadarmanTraditional rigid-body mechanisms consist of a number of components to implement their functions. Therefore they face problems such as backlash, wear, increase in part-count, weight, assembly cost and time, regular maintenance. Reducing these problems will help in increasing mechanism performance and cost reduction. Recently, there are several examples of compliant mechanisms that have been designed and widely used in various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGas Turbine Ontology for the Industrial ProcessesF. Z. Laallam, M. SellamiThe activity of supervision and control of the industrial processes is a very complex spot and require a great experiment because of the dynamic characteristics of the process. This experiment was acquired with the passing of years. What makes departure of an expert in retirement a great loss of the know-how. The problem thus consists to capture this know-how and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,301 accessesView PDFCite
