Samudram, A. Hemanth Kumar, Lalitha VictorProblem statement: Patients with active pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) are malnourished as indicated by reductions in lean mass, anthropometric indices and micronutrient status. Supplementation with vitamins may prove to be beneficial. Limited information is available on the supplementation of vitamin C and E in pulmonary TB patients. Hence, the present study was undertaken to address the question whether any benefit could … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,686 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterminants of Non-farm Income Diversification in Developed Villages of BangladeshMohammad Abdul Malek, Koichi UsamiProblem statement: Though the Non-Farm Sector (NFS) has been prioritized in the national policy documents, empirical evidences based on the broader definition of the sector seem to be insufficient about its role both in income diversification and income distribution especially in segmented area of rural Bangladesh. Approach: We use income inequality Gini decomposition method for exploring the role of Non-Farm … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,361 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneric Algorithm with Varying Block Sizes to Improve the Capacity of a Wireless Communications NetworksMahmoud AbdellaouiProblem statement: Channel capacity can be an essential parameter for wireless communication to improve the link quality. Until now, the channel capacity has been evaluated by utilizing Shannon capacity theory, but it presented many limitations and restrictions. The objectives of this study were to: (i) Expose, quantify, present and to give a clear and concise exposition of the mathematical principles … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,903 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral Immune Response in Tuberculous PleuritisPrabha C., Kripa V. Jalapathy, Sulochana D. DasTuberculous pleuritis is a good human model to understand the local and protective immune response against tuberculosis, due to the self-limitedness of the disease. Although the cellular immune response has been well characterised in tuberculous pleurisy, much less is known about the humoral immune response operating at the site of infection. To understand the humoral immune response, B cells were … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,522 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Investigation of Two-Stage Absorption Refrigeration System Connected by a CompressorL. Kairouani, E. Nehdi, R. B. IffaThe present work is to analyze a two-stage cycle based on the ammonia-water absorption system, with intermediate compression. The two generators of the system are heated by geothermal energy at low temperature. The study shows that this system makes it possible at lower generator temperature, under the limits permitted by the systems suggested up to now. For Tg = 335 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,741 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving Linear Programming Problems on the Parallel Virtual Machine EnvironmentJrJung Lyu, Hsing Luh, Ming-Chang LeeThis study developed a parallel algorithm to efficiently solve linear programming models. The proposed algorithm utilizes the Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition Principle and can be easily implemented in a general distributed computing environment. The analytical performance of the well-known method, including the speedup upper bound and lower bound limits, was derived. Numerical experiments are also provided in order to verify the complexity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,841 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEXPOSURE TO “TEXTISMS” DOES NOT LOWER SPELLING SCORES FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGED CHILDRENHolly Anderson, Robert J.F. Elsner“Textisms” are semi-standardized abbreviations and conventions uses in SMS text messaging. Students in the fourth and fifth grades (N = 136) were exposed to words on a spelling list as correctly-spelled words, incorrectly-spelled words, or “textisms” to determine whether short term exposure to “textisms” decreased spelling performance for elementary aged children. Multivariate ANOVA found exposure type significantly impacted post-exposure spelling, … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 10 Dec 2014 · 7,257 accessesView PDF Cite
