A backpropagation neural network in an address block classification system
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is investing heavily in research and development of automated mail handling systems. A major component in these systems is the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read the destination address and ZIP Code, and then bar code the mail piece. High speed sorting …

Molecular cloning, recombinant protein expression and structural characterization of a universal stress G4LZI3 protein from Schistosoma mansoni
… disease intervention. Universal stress proteins (USPs) act as natural biological defence mechanisms in living organisms. They are overexpressed in stress conditions and assist in overcoming stressors through various mechanisms. USPs has been predicted to play a role in host invasion by pathogens …
