T cells use finger-like protrusions called 'microvilli' to interrogate their targets, but why they do so is unknown. To form contacts, T cells must overcome the highly charged, barrier-like layer of large molecules forming a...
/T,d/ deletion was chosen as a speech token to test modifications to usage by native speakers of English due to frequent interactions with non-native anglophones in Japan. Approximately 250 tokens per each of thirty-nine...
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...
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...
Social media is an important avenue for information dissemination and public communication in emergency management. Through social media content analysis and in-depth interviews, this study explores how county level emergency...
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...
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...
Taking the one-year-old T. chinensis (Tamarix chinensis Lour.) in Yellow River Delta as the study object, the variations of C, N and P stoichiometry in T. chinensis under drought stress was studied using pot experiments. The...
Button mushrooms are one of the most commonly cultivated mushroom species facing different risks e.g.: viral, bacterial and fungal diseases. One of the most common problems is caused by Trichoderma aggressivum, or ‘green mould'...
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...
Romanian constructions with preverbal focus compared with English clefts point to a parametric approach: languages display different strategies for overt movement to focus according to their parametric setting for [wh/focusl or...
For the first time in its history, higher education is having to prove its value. Being able to communicate a learner's holistic set of experiences and competencies when they leave an institution is critical both now and in the...
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...
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...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in industrial applications and focused on target coverage and node connectivity based WSNs. The set of sensors and targets is placed in optimal position the target coverage and node...
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...
The number and scale of natural and man-made disasters is increasing at an unprecedented rate, leading to devastating consequences for citizens, governments and entire economies. In response, Humanitarian Supply Chains (HSC) are...
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...
An innovative technology named FinFET (Fin Field Effect Transistor) has been developed to offer better transistor circuit design and to compensate the necessity of superior storage system (SS). As gate loses control over the...
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...
