C4 photosynthesis has evolved by repurposing enzymes found in C3 plants. Compared with the ancestral C3 state, accumulation of C4 cycle proteins is enhanced. We used de-etiolation of C4 Gynandropsis gynandra and C3 Arabidopsis...
Social media especially Twitter has become ubiquitous among people where they express their opinions on various domains. This paper presents a Hybrid Firefly – Ontology-based Clustering (FF-OC) algorithm which attempts to...
This article deals with the steady-state behavior of an MX/G/1 retrial queue with the Bernoulli vacation schedule and unreliable server, under linear retrial policy. Breakdowns can occur randomly at any instant while the server...
This study aims to determine procurement and project management critical factors to develop procurement strategy with stakeholders to eliminate Project Scope Creep (PSC) risks in the oil & gas (O&G) sector. Analytical Hierarchy...
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that can cause difficulties in reading or writing. Dyslexia is not a visual problem but many dyslexics have impaired magnocellular system which causes poor eye control. Eye-trackers are used to...
This research aims to devise a method of encrypting medical images based on chaos map, Knight's travel map, affine transformation, and DNA cryptography to prevent attackers from accessing the data. The proposed DMIES...
Biosurfactant production by Rhodococcus erythropolis SB-1A was studied based on Atlas oil agar medium in a batch reactor. The strain was isolated from a water sample collected from Northern Atlantic Ocean. Several parameters...
The primary requirements of a heterogeneous wireless network topology, adaptive and smart resource allocation to users, protocols for routing and lifetime enhancement, access to the network with security and appropriate network...
The educational system has moved towards digitization and online learning in the past two decades. The institutions are focusing on delivering online courses to facilitate the students. Uttarakhand Open University offered online...
Performance of innovative sludge-blanket anaerobic membrane bioreactors (SB-AnMBRs) was evaluated at mesophilic (35oC for 400 days) followed by thermophilic (55oC for 330 days) temperatures for the treatment of the...
This study examined post-test performance and retention performance of students in mathematics when learned and problem-solving ability through educational video games and traditional lecture method. The study adopted a...
A key step in addressing the classification issue was the selection of genes for removing redundant and irrelevant genes. The proposed Type Combination Approach –Feature Selection(TCA-FS) model uses the efficient feature...
Shopper buying behaviour is essential for the retailers to segment the shoppers in accordance to their disruptive attitude and perception for better innovative strategies which may lead to higher profits. The major purpose of...
In the research community, the estimation of the scholarly impact of an individual is based on either citation-based indicators or network centrality measures. The network-based centrality measures like degree, closeness...
This manuscript presents the design of a new approach of human skin color authentication. Skin color is one of the most popular soft biometric modalities. Since a soft biometric modality alone cannot reliably authenticate an...
Rotavirus genotypes are species specific. However, interspecies transmission is reported to result in the emergence of new genotypes. A cross-sectional study of 242 households with 281 cattle, 418 goats, 438 pigs, and 258 humans...
This article presents a stream mining framework to cluster the data stream and monitor its evolution. Even though concept drift is expected to be present in data streams, explicit drift detection is rarely done in stream...
In gene expression analysis, the expression levels of thousands of genes are analyzed, such as separate stages of treatments or diseases. Identifying particular gene sequence pattern is a challenging task with respect to...
In a relational database, classification algorithms are used to look for patterns across several interconnected relations. Most of the methods for multi-relational classification algorithms implicitly assume that the classes in...
Mobile communication systems employ an encoding-encryption model to ensure secure data transmission over the network. This model encodes the data and encrypts it before transmitting it to the receiver's end. A non-trivial...
The use of software in mission critical applications poses greater quality needs. Quality assurance activities are aimed at ensuring such quality requirements of the software system. Antifragility is a property of software that...
Previous studies have shown that one of the linguistic tools that individuals use to identify themselves is adjectival intensification (e.g., so cool, very cool, really cool). We assembled and analyzed a corpus of over 3000...
As a response to a call to investigate the fundamental aspects regarding educational theory, research, designing and teaching of language massive open online courses (MOOCs), this study first developed a Community of Inquiry...
