A Self-Learning Diagnosis Algorithm Based on Data Clustering
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-08)The article describes an approach to building a self-learning diagnostic algorithm. The self-learning algorithm creates models of the object under consideration. The models are formed periodically through a certain time ... -
Motion Planning System for Bin Picking Using 3-D Point Cloud
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-08)In this paper, we propose a motion planning system for bin picking using 3-D point cloud. The situation that the objects are put miscellaneously like the inside in a house is assumed. In the home, the equipment which makes ... -
Determinants of Oil Futures Prices
(Scientific Research, 2016-08)This study is directed at predicting the determinants of oil futures prices. We evaluate commodity pricing with oil occupying a special position due to highly inelastic demand. Given the sudden fall in oil prices, there ... -
Aliens, Humans, Animals, & Luck: Animal Treatment & Human Morality
(Scientific Research, 2016-08)This paper proposes two thought experiments to demonstrate that our current treatment of animals is immoral. The first thought experiment involves aliens coming to earth and doing to us what we do to animals—eating us, ... -
Natural Bond Orbital Analysis of [Fe(H2O)6]2+/3+ and [Zn(H2O)6 ]H2On2+; N=0-4
(2016-09)Nature of delocalization of the electrons from the ligands to metals in the first coordination sphere of the highspin complexes [Fe(H2O)6]2+/3+ and [Zn(H2O)6]2+ are computationally studied using density functional theory. ... -
The Features and Evolution of Cluster Supply Chain Network
(Scientific Research, 2016-10)Cluster supply chain (CSC) is a special kind of enterprise network with double feature of cluster and supply chain and is an important channel for enterprises close to the knowledge, resources, markets, and technologies. ... -
Small Scale Contractors in Africa’s Emerging Markets: The Case of South Africa
(Scientific Research, 2016-10)In South Africa, the development of Small scale emerging contractors (SSECs) has become vital to bring about economic prosperity and the government has prioritised the advancement of SSECs as the vehicle towards achieving ... -
Anaplerosis in cancer: Another step beyond the warburg effect
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-10)Biosynthesis is up-regulated in tumors and thus the demand for anabolic intermediates is increased. The metabolic routes providing the building blocks for macromolecules are thus a very attractive target as they are not ... -
Density Functional Study of Molecular Orbitals of Ferrocene and Cobaltocene Molecules
(2016-10)The electronic structure and geometry optimization of ferrocene and cobaltocene molecules are calculated using DFT/B3LYP with the basis set of 6-31G (d). The Eigen values, Eigen vector and population analysis of the molecules ... -
Non-Linear Effect of Remittances on Banking Sector Development: Panel Evidence from Developing Countries
(Scientific Research, 2016-10)This paper examines the impact of remittances on financial sector development in a panel of 19 developing countries. Contrary to previous studies that focus on mean effects, it uses quantile regression methodology to ... -
Using Patents in Promotional Activities
(Scientific Research, 2016-10)A traditional view of patents and patenting shows a trade-off between the benefit of appropriation and the cost of information revelation. However, firms may benefit from information revelation to consumers because patents ... -
Education Marketing Research
(Scientific Research, 2016-10)“Education marketing” is a new concept used in high frequency interiorly in recent years, but it has significantly different interpretations in the educational circles and business circles, extremely easy to cause the ... -
A Review of Green Consumer Behavior Based on the Social Perspective
(Scientific Research, 2016-10)The significance of the research on green consumption behavior is not only to reveal the laws of green consumption behavior, but also to provide useful suggestions for the promotion of green consumption behavior. Therefore, ... -
The Potential of DNA Barcode-Based Delineation Using Seven Putative Candidate Loci of the Plastid Region in Inferring Molecular Diversity of Cowpea at Sub-Species Level
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-10)The novelty and suitability of the mitochondrial gene CO1 in DNA barcoding as a reliable identification tool in animal species are undisputed. This is attributed to its standardized sequencing segment of the mitochondrial ... -
Expression Analysis of WRKY Transcription Factor Genes in Response to Abiotic Stresses in Horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-10)Drought and salt stress are two major environmental constraints that limit the productivity of agriculture crops worldwide. WRKY transcription factors are the plant-specific transcription factors that regulate several ... -
The Possibility of Using RFID System to Automate and Integrate the Attendance of Professors and Students in the Classroom
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-11)One of the most important goals followed in most systems is to increase efficiency, reduce errors and enhance ease of data entry tasks such as better services in organizations. Therefore, the use of intelligent tools is ... -
Bubble Formation in Helicoidal DNA Molecules
(2016-11)Wave interaction is addressed the framework of the helicoidal Peyrard-Bishop model of DNA. The model is first reduced to a set of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations via the multiple scale expansion. Modulational ... -
Theoretical Insight into the Structure, Energetic Property and Thermal Stability of C6N6H12 Cages
