The second part of this thesis describes the development of a new cheminformatics method which can be applied in traditional drug discovery studies. The novel idea is based on the concept that binding site/ligand interactions ...

FG/FTG models for Bangladesh were estimated by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) using multiple explanatory variables including spatial variables. Four different functional forms were used for estimation (linear, logarithmic, ...

In general, automatic speech recognition (ASR) algorithms are designed for use with pure, anechoic signals. Although ASR systems approach a human’s intelligibility for clean signals, it is well acknowledged that a downfall ...

In this work, a hybrid simulation approach is adopted as the major approach along with analytical method to examine 3-D power networks. Combining electromagnetic (EM) tools and circuit simulators, the hybrid approach is ...

Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) is a powerful technique that can measure samples’ thermal conductivity, temperature, Seebeck coefficient, and topography at the same time with excellent spatial resolution and sensitivity. ...

Drug development is inefficient and expensive, with less than 10% of drug candidates entering clinical trials proceeding to market, and each costing an estimated $2.5 billion. This inefficiency is due to several reasons, ...
