Nucleic acids are among the most researched and applied biomolecules. Their diverse two- and three-dimensional structures in conjunction with their robust chemistry and ease of manipulation provide a rare opportunity for sensor applications. Moreover, their high biocompatibility has seen them being used in the construction of in vivo assays. Various nucleic acid-based devices have been extensiv...

Due to a high number of open source software over the internet, it is a challenge to determine which one – over a verity of alternatives – is the most appropriate for our intended needs. In this paper, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique along with the ISO 9126 will be integrated and applied to the selection process of open source software products. Thus, the intended features (i.e...

The Electromyography (EMG) is a very important biomedical signal and can be used for verity of applications in clinical or biomedical field. This signal is used to detect abnormal muscle activities like impaired nourishment of an organ or part of body, inflammation of muscles, pinched nerves and peripheral nerve damages etc. The EMG signal is controlled by nervous system and is dependent on the...

It is a well accepted verity that the process of data mining produces numerous patterns from the given data. The most significant tasks in data mining are the process of discovering frequent itemsets and association rules. Numerous efficient algorithms are available in the literature for mining frequent itemsets and association rules. Incorporating utility considerations in data mining tasks is...

How to find and select a suitable service for services users are a challenging task. In this paper, we proposed a method of concept categorization with the use of personal ontology to evaluate and select more suitable service according to the preferences of users. We use the attributes of ‘reputation’ ‘compliance’, ‘verity’, and ‘user ranking’ for our evaluation of service quality. In addition,...

An autonomic system provides self-adaptive ability that enables system to dynamically adjust its behavior on environmental changes or system failure. Fundamental process of adaptive behavior in an autonomic system is consist of monitoring system or/and environment information, analyzing monitored information, planning adaptation policy and executing selected policy. Evaluating system utility is...
