Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mini Review: Cholera Outbreak via ShellfishR. Suzita, A. S. Abdulamir, Fatimah Abu Bakar, R. SonProblem statement: Food borne illness occurs all over the world. Vibrio cholerae is the etiological agent of cholera which is spread by contaminated food, water or direct fecal contact with food handlers. There are also examples of sporadic outbreaks of illness attributed to raw products eaten unprocessed. Consequently, there was a widespread concern that food in international trade carries pathogenic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,315 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCancer Chemotherapy and Immune RegulationJohn Barrett, Katarina Le BlancProblem statement: Chemotherapeutic drugs have been used to treat malignancy for over 50 years, but the potential of cytotoxic agents to suppress immunity and interfere with Immunosurveillance (IS) of cancer has been largely ignored. Assuming that the immune control of the cancer had a priori already failed, the effect was not considered to have a major impact on treatment outcome. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 40,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Hammer Analysis by Characteristic MethodA.R. Lohrasbi, R. AttarnejadRapid changes in the velocity of fluid in closed conduits generate large pressure, which are transmitted through the system with the speed of sound. When the fluid medium is a liquid the pressure surges and related phenomena are described as water hammer. Water hammer is caused by normal operation of the system, such as valve opening or closure, pump starts … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Modeling of Pile-Leg Interaction in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Cyclic Inelastic BehaviorM.R. Honarvar, M.R. Bahaari, B. AsgarianOffshore platforms in seismically active areas should be designed to survive in the event of severe ground excitations with no global structural failure. The annulus between the pile and leg in jacket-type offshore platforms can be filled with cement grout as a means of reducing horizontal deflections, inhibiting corrosion and preventing local damages. This paper discusses an experimental approach which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Shot Peening and Polishing on the Pitting Corrosion Resistance of Stainless SteelOmar Badran, Naser Kloub, Musa Musa Al-TalAn experimental work was performed to study one of the major problems encountered in industry (i.e., pitting corrosion), which cost the industrial world billions of dollars every year. Stainless Steel 304L sheets were used in the present study, the main reason for using stainless steel is their corrosion resistance and it is the most widely used in process industries, but … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProteomics Approach for Investigating the Disease Resistance Using Cucumber as Model PlantSaligrama A. Deepak, Junko Shibato, Hideo Ishii et al.The profile of proteins induced in cucumber leaves pretreated with Acibenzolar-S-Methyl (ASM) and challenge inoculated with Colletotrichum orbiculare are presented. ASM was applied to the first leaf and the third leaf collected at different time intervals of 0-48 h and the total protein extracted using trichloroacetic acid acetone was analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Increased expressions of pyridoxine biosynthesis protein, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesizing Behavioral Model of Event-Based RequirementsSeyyed M. BabamirProblem Statement: in the software engineering field, satisfaction of user's requirements by software has been a matter of concern. Therefore, monitoring software behavior against user's high-level requirements has already received a considerable and significant attention. However, the gap between low-level software behavior and high-level requirements has put an obstacle in the way of monitoring. Approach: to overcome the obstacle, we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
