With the rise in Air Traffic flow across the world due to advancement in technology and developments in the field of aeronautical engineering, the cases of emergency and panic situations on flights have also emerged at an exponential rate. Every single day, we hear of emergency situations in flights like fires, birdstrikes, diversions, engine failures and emergency landings etc. Across the globe,...
We develop a new approach for gender recognition. In this paper, our approach uses the rectangle feature vector (RFV) as a representation to identify humans' gender from their faces. The RFV is computationally fast and effective to encode intensity variations of local regions of human face. By only using few rectangle features learned by AdaBoost, we present a gender identifier. We then use nonlinear...
Using X-ray crystallography to determine the 3D structure of a protein is a costly and time-consuming process. One of the major reasons is that the protein needs to be purified and crystallized first, and the failure rate of protein crystallization is quite high. Thus it is desired to use a computational method to predict protein crystallizability based on the primary structure information before...
Microarray is an important tool in gene analysis research. It can help identify genes that might cause various cancers. In this paper, we use feature selection methods and the support vector machine (SVM) to search for the disease-causing genes in microarray data of three different cancers. The feature selection methods are based on Euclidian distance (ED) and Pearson correlation coefficient(PCC)...
This paper uses the SVM to predict the protein disordered region. Nevertheless, the number of features used in this paper is 440. Both time and space complexity is high while performing the support vector machine (SVM) training and testing. So this paper proposes a hybrid feature selection mechanism to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space. The filter and wrapper feature selection methods...
In proteomics, a proteinpsilas function is always strongly related to its structure. But, while some parts of a protein have a fixed definite structure, such as alpha-helix, beta-sheet, or coil, other parts are not associated with well-defined conformations. Previously, these so-called disordered regions were not thought to have a specific function of their own. But, recent studies suggest that some...
