Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS AND THEIR IMPLICATION FOR BIOMEDICAL SCIENCESMaria Csobonyeiova, Stefan Polak, Lubos DanisovicThe groundbreaking discovery, that somatic mammalian cells can be epigenetically reprogrammed to a pluripotent state through the exogenous expression of the transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-myc, has yielded a new cell type for potential application in regenerative medicine, the induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs). Since the first demonstration of creating iPSCs in 2006 great efforts have been made … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 3 Oct 2013 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBed-Load Sediment Profile and Effect of River Bank Erosion on River Cross-SectionMohd Ekhwan Toriman, Frankie Marcus Ata, Mohd Khairul Amri Kamarudin, Mushrifah IdrisThe processes of lateral and riverbank erosion are among the elements of river morphology dynamic resulting from natural processes and human activities. This process has been studied in detail throughout the research for four months starting from 7 October 2009 to 26 January 2010. In this research, technique of erosion pins were applied at five plots selected along the Chini … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Automated Teller Machines Within Abakaliki MetropolisOkoro Nworie, Mbaba Mercy, Anyim Chukwudi et al.The Automated Teller Machine (ATMs) is likely to be contaminated with various microorganisms due to their vast dermal contact by multiple users. The metallic keypads of ATMs were examined to investigate their potentials as source of bacterial contamination and also the antibiogram of the isolated organisms. The study lasted from August, 2012 to October, 2012 involving several procedures like culturing, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 9 Feb 2013 · 8,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Acidity on Delta 7 Stigmastenol Content of Palestinian Olive OilJihad M. Quasem, Ibrahim Abdullah Afaneh, Harbi T. Al-Masri et al.Olive oil quality is a term influenced by many factors. Δ7 Stigmastenol is a new criteria used to determine olive oil quality especially its purity from adulteration with other types of seeds oil. Δ7 Stigmastenol-acidity correlation were investigated through studying the effect of the literature’s highlighted factors, namely; Olive fly infection, the land topographic and the preservation of olive before … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 7 Nov 2012 · 7,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas Engine for Nitrogen Oxides ReductionP. M. Diaz, B. Durga PrasadProblem statement: This study describes the use of Reformer Gas (RG) to alter NOx emission in a CNG-fueled HCCI engine. Comparison with diesel, natural gas has a very high octane number (≈120) and high auto-ignition temperature (≈600°C). Composed mostly of methane, natural gas is the only common fuel to manifest relatively pure, single-stage combustion. Other fuels have stronger low-temperature reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomagnification Profiles of Trace Elements through the Food Web of an Integrated Shrimp Mangrove Farm in Ba Ria Vung Tau, South VietnamNguyen Phuc Cam Tu, Nguyen Ngoc Ha, Hiroaki Matsuo et al.Problem statement: Ba Ria Vung Tau (BRVT), a Vietnamese province with one of the fastest growing economies in the country, faces significant environmental challenges, including increased contamination of rivers and estuaries with urban and industrial wastes. Approach: Concentrations of 23 trace elements and stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) were analyzed in suspended particulate matter, one species of peanut worm, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 9 Mar 2012 · 7,805 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of E100 to Fuel a Used 4-Stroke MotorcycleT. SuthisripokProblem statement: Though ethanol and gasohol are proved to be used as alternative fuels in vehicles, 4-stoke motorcycles used nationwide mainly consumed gasoline 91/95. Approach: The motorcycle tested, the used Honda Wave125 model, was properly tuned at the rich relative air-fuel ratio (λ) 0.85, which theoretically gave the maximum power output. For the use of E100, the engine required richer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 23 Feb 2012 · 9,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Fuel Properties on Exhaust Emissions during Warm-Up ProcessRosli Abu Bakar, Beny CahyonoProblem statement: Increasing air pollutions the big problem form internal combustion engines. Several attempts have been done to get a cleaner combustion process, one of which is the use of fuel ethanol in gasoline engines. Approach: The addition of ethanol in fuel will be change fuel properties. Results: To know the effect of fuel properties on engine performance and emissions … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2012 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Host Plant Species and Flush Growth Stage on the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri KuwayamaStephen Leong Chan Teck, Abang Fatimah, Andrew Beattie et al.Problem statement: In order to establish the important host range of D. citri, the performance of this psyllid on different rutacous host plants was assessed. Apparent regional differences in host preferences of D. citri as noted above and the need for empirical knowledge of its host preferences in Malaysia where it is lacking. Approach: Experiments on host plant preference between … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2011 · 10,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Population Dynamics of the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama in SarawakStephen Leong Chan Teck, Abang Fatimah, Andrew Beattie et al.Problem statement: Effective control of phytophagous pests requires a thorough understanding of their seasonal population dynamics, dispersion behavior, natural enemy activity and climate. To date, although very little detail information had been published on the ecology of Diaphorina citri. The objective of this investigation was to test through field experiment the hypothesis that the major factors influencing local D. citri … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2011 · 9,553 accessesView PDFCite
