Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAMELIORATIVE EFFECT OF HIBISCUS SABDARIFFA LINN ON SUBCHRONIC CHLORPYRIFOS-INDUCED ALTERATIONS IN SEX AND THYROID HORMONES IN MALE WISTAR RATSShittu Muftau, Olatunji Omobolanle Aisha, Suleiman Folorunsho Ambali et al.Studies have shown that Chlorpyrifos (CPF), an Organophosphate (OP) insecticide alters both sex and thyroid hormones. Apart from inhibiting Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, CPF has been shown to cause oxidative stress. The antioxidant potentials of many flavonoid-containing plants are increasingly being exploited in the therapy of many infectious and non-infectious diseases. Hibiscus Sabdariffa (HS) is one of the most widely used … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2014 · 9,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE STUDIES ON DOWNDRAFT GASIFIER WITH BIOMASS ENERGY SOURCES AVAILABLE IN REMOTE VILLAGESV. ChristusJeya Singh, S. Joseph Sekhar, K. ThyagarajanIncreasing global concern over the environmental issues and depletion of fossil fuels, significant interest has been shown by the researchers to develop alternate energy technologies like biomass, biogas, solar to meet the future energy demand. The prediction of the performance of different biomass energy sources in gasifiers is needed for the implementation of this technology to fulfil the need of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 4 Feb 2014 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENERGY PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT, FLOW BEHAVIOR AND HEAT TRANSFER INVESTIGATION IN A CIRCULAR TUBE WITH V-DOWNSTREAM DISCRETE BAFFLESWithada Jedsadaratanachai, Amnart BoonloiA mathematical study has been carried out to examine periodic laminar flow and heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional isothermal wall circular tube with 45° in-line V-discrete baffles. The computations are based on the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and the SIMPLE algorithm has been implemented. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented for Reynolds numbers based on the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2013 · 6,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract3D Numerical Study on Laminar Forced Convection in V-Baffled Square ChannelAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiThe article presents a mathematical study of fully developed periodic laminar flow visualization and heat transfer characteristics in an isothermal wall square-channel fitted with V-shaped baffles on one wall. The computations based on the finite volume method together with the SIMPLE algorithm have been performed. The investigation covers a range of Re based on the hydraulic diameter of the channel, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 6,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHost Pathogen Interaction Study in Malformed Affected Tissues of Mangifera indica L.Pradeep Kumar, Madhu Kamle, Vijai Kumar Gupta et al.The malformation disease of mango by Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinan is one of the major causes of huge economical loss every year. Early diagnosis of the pathogens can help cultivators to protect the mango orchid and fruits from successive and secondary infection. The molecular detection is one of the better choices among available techniques for diagnosis. But the farmers or … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Leaf Anatomy of Selected Species in Vitaceae and LeeaceaeChnar Najmaddin, Khatijah Hussin, Haja MaideenLeea species was originally placed in the family Vitaceae but was later placed in the Leeaceae due to the anatomical differences between the two families and between species. A study on the anatomical difference in leaves of four species in the Vitaceae (Tetrastigma cruciatum, Pterisanthes miquelii, Cissus hastata and Nothocissus spicifera) and two species from Leeaceae (Leea rubra and Leea … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2013 · 7,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Petri-Net Based Conceptual Model for Risk Prediction in Enterprise Resource Planning Acquisition Decisions for Small and Medium EnterprisesVijayakumar Bharathi, Dhanya Pramod, Ramakrishnan RamanThis study identifies and evaluates certain critical pitfalls in the acquisition phase of ERP adoption in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and develops a model for evaluating the risk of failure. On the acquisition stage a set of risks has been identified based on past research work and each of these risks have been explained through a set of well-defined … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of Direction-of-Arrival Estimation using an Antenna Array with Four ElementsLotfi Osman, Imen Sfar, Ali GharsallahThe Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation techniques using antenna arrays are applied in large areas of research fields and have received great attention in literature. Mobile communication, Sonar and Radar are just some examples among a large number of possible applications. For example, in military application, it is very important to recognize the direction of any threat. Another example of commercial application … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 14 Dec 2012 · 7,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoscinium Fenestratum Protects Against Ethanol-Induced Neurodegeneration in Adult Rat BrainWathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Panakaporn Wannanon et al.Alcoholism is a serious problem throughout the world. Despite intensive efforts to develop novel therapeutics for strategy efficacy against neuronal loss leading to memory impairment in alcoholism is still limited. In view of the pitfalls of psychological dependence and adverse behavioral effects of synthetic drugs, the development of low toxicity and high efficiency medicines derived from natural herbal antioxidants exhibits … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2012 · 8,607 accessesView PDFCite
