The objectives of this chapter are twofold: firstly to introduce DNA computation, and secondly to demonstrate how DNA computing can be applied to solve large, complex combinatorial problems, such as the optimal scheduling of a group of elevators servicing a number of floors in a multi-storey building. Recently, molecular (or wet) computing has been widely researched not only within the context ...

background: many azoospermic patients with non obstructive azoospermia (noa) are candidate for testicular sperm extraction (tese) and in vitro fertilization. because sperm might be present in some but not all parts of the testes of such men, multiple sampling of testicular tissue are usually necessary to increase the probability of sperm finding. sperm finding can be done by two methods: 1) cla...

The density of biochemical factors of blood in wet cupping is statistically different from phlebotomy In summary we have cupped 40 volunteers and at the same time we sampled their venous blood. Then wet cupping and venous samples were sent to the lab for comparing blood triglyceride, cholesterol, sugar, urea, uric acid and creatinine factors. The results show that there are significant differen...

Wet friction clutches play a critical role in a transmission system. The clutches progressively degrade while the transmission is under operational condition. If the clutches unexpectedly fail, then the complete transmission will fail. To avoid unexpected failures, a proper condition monitoring tool extended with a lifetime prediction method must be implemented. In order to achieve this, approp...
