Abstract

Nowadays, the information system methodology is lifeblood of any successful project. The success is based on the quality of information and its technology over the globe. This could rely on the development and operation of computer based systems. To assure that you achieved the goal, there should be a perfect and ideal selection of the methodology, and quite simply it matches your needs. However, there should be some researchers have been written about NIMSAD, SSADM and ETHICS and with no doubt much will be written in the future. The purpose of this paper is to conducting a comparison between two methodologies effectively. Besides, the implementation of NIMSAD framework will take an integral part in this paper. Consequently, the implementation will illustrate the strength and weakness points of both methodologies. Eight principals' steps of NIMSAD will be examined to demonstrate various aspects of EHTICS and SSADM methodologies. This, however, will help to ensure the efficient performance which is the main goal of this work.

Objective

To clone cytochrome P450 from Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) and determine the characteristics using bioinformatics tools.

Methods

Cytochrome P450 of Ae. aegypti was amplified using polymerase chain reaction, cloned and sequenced. Evolutionary relationship of the sequence was inferred and bioinformatics tools were used to predict subcellular localisation, signal peptide, transmembrane helix, phosphorylation, O-glycosylation, secondary and tertiary structures of the deduced protein.

Results

Polymerase chain reaction rather amplified a cytochrome P450 pseudogene which was named CYP4H44P (GenBank accession number KF779932). The pseudogene has 1 537 nucleotides and an open reading frame of 335 amino acids containing cytochrome P450 motifs except the WxxxR motif. It is highly homologous to CYP4H28 and CYP4H28v2. Phylogenetic analysis and evolutionary divergence showe

Abstract. Synthetic insecticides and other xenobiotic compounds are usually used to abate the effects of insect pests/vectors of agricultural and medical importance by adversely affecting the insects. The xenobiotics are also capable of inducing the expression of detoxification genes such as the cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene in targeted insects like mosquitoes (Feyereisen, 2012). The high expression levels of CYPs in insecticide-resistant and exposed mosquitoes have been linked with a potential role in xenobiotic resistance. This study investigated the induction potential of leaf litter infusions and insecticides on the expressions of CYP4H28v2 and CYP4H31v2 in the dengue mosquito Aedes aegypti using Reverse Transcription-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction. Exposure of Ae. aegypti larvae to leaf litter infusions demonstrated that CYP4H28v2 and CYP4H31v2 were significantly induced by Lagerstroemia speciosa but not Ficus benjamina, Plumeria obtusa, Millettia pinnata and Pithecellobium dulce. None of the genes was significantly highly expressed in adult females exposed to d-allethrin and d-trans allethrin products. CYP4H28v2 was significantly induced in Ae. aegypti exposed to DDT, malathion and permethrin for both 5 and 10 min. DDT, malathion and permethrin significantly induced CYP4H31v2 only in Ae. aegypti exposed to the insecticides for 10 min. Exposure to the insecticides for 5 min displayed different levels of CYP4H31v2 expression with significantly higher (DDT-exposed) and lower (permethrin-exposed) levels in the mosquito. The results show that natural and synthetic xenobiotics can induce significant expression of CYP4H28v2 and CYP4H31v2 in the mosquito, indicating the potential role of the genes in mediating xenobiotic resistance. This may enhance the survival capabilities of the mosquito when in contact with phytotoxins of leaf litter in their natural ecosystem and synthetic insecticides in adulticide spray regimens.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A thorough knowledge of fetal growth and development is key to understanding both the normal and abnormal fetal MR imaging findings. We investigated the size and signal intensity of the normal pituitary gland and the intrasphenoidal ossification around the Rathke pouch in formalin-fixed fetuses on MR imaging.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-two fetuses with undamaged brains were included in this study (mean age, 19.93 weeks; age range, 12–31 weeks). Visual inspection of the pituitary and ossification around the Rathke pouch in the sphenoid bone or the postsphenoid ossification was conducted. The extent of pituitary and postsphenoid ossification, pituitary/pons signal ratio, and postsphenoidal ossification/sphenoid bone signal ratio was compared according to gestational age.

RESULTS: The pituitary gland was identified as a hyperintense intrasellar structure in all cases, and postsphenoid ossification was identified as an intrasphenoidal hyperintense area in 27 of the 32 cases (84%). The mean pituitary/pons signal ratio was 1.13 ± 0.18 and correlated weakly with gestational age (R2 = 0.243), while the mean postsphenoid ossification/sphenoid bone signal ratio was 2.14 ± 0.56 and did not show any increase with gestational age (R2 = 0.05). No apparent change in the size of pituitary hyperintensity was seen with gestational age (R2 = 0.001). Postsphenoid ossification showed an increase in size with gestational age (R2 = 0.307).

CONCLUSIONS: The fetal pituitary gland was hyperintense on T1-weighted images and the pituitary/pons ratio and extent of postsphenoid ossification correlated weakly with gestational age.

The paper studied the possibility of taking advantage over roads to generate energy by pressure and movements of vehicles on these roads and converts kinetic energy into electric energy by piezoelectric devices that will call later the Smart Roads. Libya is seeking a variety of energy sources instead of depending on fossil fuels, and at the same time, plans to have giant projects in the field of roads; the most important is the 2000 km coastal highway. The coastal highway itself can produce thousands of kilowatts of clean and sustainable electric power by installing piezoelectric devices along the distance of the road with proper specifications. The objective of this paper is to study and investigate the smart roads to produce energy in Libya. Moreover, this paper employed descriptive design which includes model design and energy calculations for one piezoelectric device. The main reasons that encouraged us to take advantage over the Road Power Generation (RGP) are as follows:(1). The needs for a resource of renewable, clean and sustainable energy;(2) Benefits from the movement of thousands of vehicles on public roads, and take advantage of thousands of kilome-

With web advertising growing to be a huge industry, it is important to understand the effectiveness of web advertisement. In this study we investigate the effects of web advertising visual design (WAVD) purchasing intention within the framework of an integrated model. Nine hypotheses were developed and tested on a dataset of 316 observations collected via a questionnaire survey. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) indicate that while web advertising visual cues influence consumers' purchasing intention through advertising attitudes and brand attitudes, they do not have direct effects on purchasing intention. Further results on the moderating role of gender suggest that web advertising visual cues have direct effect on consumers' purchasing intention for male groups but not for female groups. This study contributes to the understanding the role of visual dimensions in forming online purchase intentions.

Artificial neural network (ANN) is one of the most advanced technology fields, which allows the machine to learn from the examples in a manner similar to the human brain learning. ANN applied to many fields such as function approximation, data processing, classification, signal demodulation and much more. One of the main problems in the communication field is the effect of noise into the transmitted signal. In this thesis an Artificial Neural Network Demodulator (NND) to demodulate quadrature amplitude modulating signal (QAM) is proposed, this project attempts to develop communication systems by developing neural networks and machine learning. This project will help giving contribution to reduce the error bits, optimize the quality of received data and optimize (NNDs).
