With the development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), more complicated and challenging applications now can be targeted by small and smart systems. Although most of these applications require little power, the gradual degradation of the batteries further decreases the useable lifetime of WSNs. Aside from relying on revolutionary development of b

Background: Hepatitis C genotyping is a mandatory for the treatment and management of patients who are advised for interferon therapy. The gold standard of HCV genotyping is based on reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), followed by DNA sequencing.

A study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative behaviour of the crude extracts of pegaga (Centella asiatica) leaves, and limau purut (Citrus hystrix) leaves, peels, and stems in palm olein system and in a linoleic acid model system. The antioxidative capacities of these local plants were then compared to the activity of rosemary and sage, t

Cyclic Redundancy Check is one of the most powerful methods of error detection in blocks for digital communications signals. I t involves a division of the transmined message block by a constant called the generator polynomial. The quotient is discarded, and the remainder is transmitted as the Block check Character or Frame Check Sequence. The rece
