This paper aims at providing a survey on the problems that can be easily addressed by clonalbased cellular automata in bioinformatics. Researchers try to address the problems in bioinformatics independent of each problem. None of the researchers has tried to relate the major problems in bioinformati
The present investigation discusses the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a steady three dimensional Sisko fluid. The flow is induced due to bidirectional stretching sheet. The influence of power-law index and stretching ratio on flow and heat transfer is studied thoroughly. Governing partia
Minimum error rate training (MERT) is a widely used training procedure for statistical machine translation. A general problem of this approach is that the search space is easy to converge to a local optimum and the acquired weight set is not in accord with the real distribution of feature functions.
Background: Recently, we introduced solar related geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) as a potential environmental risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to test probable correlation between solar activities and GMD with long-term variations of MS incidence. Methods: After a
The primary interface of contact between a robotic or prosthetic hand and the external world is through the artificial skin. To make sense of that contact, tactile sensors are needed.
