Following similar global efforts to exchange genomic and other biomedical data, global databases in metabolomics have now been established. MetaboLights, the first general purpose, publically available, cross-species, cross-application database in metabolomics, has become the fastest growing data repository at the European Bioinformatics Institute in terms of data volume. Here we present the au...

Information in the internet is evolving in terms of high volume through different sources. Extracting tuples from HTML pages has been an important issue in various web applications such as web data integration, e-commerce market monitoring, and mash ups that repurpose and selectively combine existing web data services. Data Mining is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and...

The physical and chemical properties of raw bio-oil, two oxidized bio-oils, and hydrotreated bio-oil were compared before and after catalytic hydrodeoxygenation using sulfided CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Following continuous hydrodeoxygenation, the organic liquid products from treated bio-oils and raw bio-oil were compared for higher heating value, oxygen content, water content, and viscosity. In ad...

The classification of the iris image under the fake or real and also adding security to it by encrypting it provides double the security. Iris recognition system can undergo the security attacks which can result into the fraudulent identity authentication. The attacker therefore will try to develop the methods which will spoof the iris biometrics. Therefore it becomes difficult to develop the r...

Chemical genomics is the next stage of post-genomic analysis. Drugs, environmental substances and various chemical compounds contribute to the fluctuation of bio-systems. Therefore, chemical genomic analysis would require the investigation of relationships between genomes and their extracellular environments. These relationships between bio-systems and environments include complicated biochemic...

The important role the untranslated regions of eukaryotic mRNAs may play in gene regulation and expression is now widely acknowledged. For this reason we developed UTRdb, a specialized database of 5'- and 3'-untranslated sequences of eukaryotic mRNAs cleaned from redundancy. UTRdb entries are enriched with specialized information not present in the primary databases, including the presence of f...

Database interoperation is becoming a bottleneck for the research community in biology. In this paper, we first discuss the question of interoperability and give a brief overview of CORBA. Then, an example is explained in some detail: a simple but realistic data bank of STSs is implemented. The Object Request Broker is the media for communication between an object server (the data bank) and a c...

The high porosity and microstructure of bio-aggregates are fundamental to their physical properties. Typically they have a low density and a complex pore structure. This has two principal effects. In the first instance, low density is associated with low strength, but also with low thermal conductivity. For this reason most bio-aggregates are not suitable for use as structural materials, but ar...

The term bioremediation describes biological machinery of recycling wastes to make them harmless and useful to some extent. Bioremediation is the most proficient tool to manage the polluted environment and recover contaminated river water.  Bioremediation is very much involved in the degradation, eradication, restriction, or reclamation varied chemical and physical hazardous substances from the...
