Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContribution of Remote Sensing in the Estimation of the Populations Living in Areas with Risk of Gully Erosion in Kinshasa (D.R. Congo). Case of Selembao TownshipKayembe wa Kayembe Matthieu, Ngoy Ndombe Alain, Makanzu Imwangana Fils et al.This paper proposes a methodology combining very high spatial resolution satellite image, GIS and field surveys to estimate the number of people living in areas at (high) risk of landslides or gully erosion in Selembao (Kinshasa). It also gives their socio-economic characteristics. Results show that 185,000 out of the 314,699 inhabitants estimated in Selembao (58.3% of the population) live in … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Jun 2016 · 8,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrologic Modeling to Evaluate the Impact of Hydraulic Fracturing on Stream Low Flows: Challenges and Opportunities for a Simulation StudySuresh Sharma, Aashish Shrestha, Colleen E. McLean, Scott C. MartinHydraulic fracturing (fracking) has been increasing in the eastern part of Ohio for the last few years leading to the increased stress on water resources, particularly on the hydrological low flows. Yet, evaluation of the various impacts of fracking on stream low flows using appropriate tools is still a challenging issue, even though significant progress has been achieved in recent … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 10,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExact Permutation Algorithm for Paired Observations: A General and Efficient VersionDavid T. MorseFor the better part of a century, methods have been illustrated for the enumeration of all possible permutations of cases from which an exact characterization of the likelihood of obtaining results as or more extreme as that observed may be determined without having to rely on parametric assumptions or schemes that may be only asymptotically correct. The challenge is the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 6,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF EARLY POTATO PRODUCTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREAFilippo Sgroi, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaThe interactions between a given commercial enterprise, its territory and development, have become a key issue in recent years. Theories of economic development tell us that a territory may undergo development provided viable, economically sustainable commercial activities exist. Based on the latter postulate, the present paper analyzes the economic sustainability of farming enterprises growing early potatoes in a Mediterranean setting. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 12 Aug 2014 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Design of a Photovoltaic Water Pumping and Treatment SystemAbderrahmen Ben Chaabene, Med Faouzi Elkaroui, Anis SellamiThrough the world, the exploitation of solar energies knew a strong growth these last years. It is interesting to exploit them on the place of consumption, by directly transforming into heat, or in electricity according to needs and especially in remote areas where power from utility is not available or is too costly to install. The use of photovoltaic sources … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 4 Jul 2013 · 7,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Stress Effects of Kaempferia parviflora in Immobilization Subjected RatsJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Terdthai Tong-un, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.It is well known that intense and prolonged stress can produce hippocampal neuronal damage and cognitive impairments, few studies have investigated possible ways to prevent its deleterious effects. Here, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of a Thai traditional herb, Kaempferia Parviflora (KP) extract, commonly known as Kra-Chai-Dum, on learning and memory loss and the induction of neurodegeneration in the hippocampus … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 May 2013 · 8,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Explanatory Power of Adverse Relationship Experiences in Predicting NeuroticismKathryn Simms, Sara BockPositive correlations have been detected consistently between adverse relationship experiences (i.e., traumatic interpersonal events such as intimate partner violence) and a broad range of mental health disorders (e.g., depression). However, associations between adverse relationship experiences and personality have been under examined. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between adverse relationship experiences and one facet of … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 27 Feb 2013 · 7,820 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompensating Companion Animal Owners for Veterinary Malpractice Through an Alternative Dispute Resolution MechanismTerence J. Centner, Nikita SmeshkoProblem statement: Many people own pets for companionship and become attached to their animals. Given this attachment, some owners contract for veterinary services to extend the lives of their pets and may spend more money for veterinary care than their animals are worth. If their pet dies due to veterinary malpractice, they only receive a nominal sum for damages. Approach: … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 16 Sep 2011 · 8,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractError Free Iterative Morphological Decomposition Algorithm for Shape RepresentationV. Vijaya Kumar, A. Srikrishna, G. Hemantha KumarProblem statement: A generalized skeleton transform allows a shape to be represented as a collection of modestly overlapped octagonal shape parts. One problem with several generalized Morphological skeleton transforms is that they generate noise after decomposition. The noise rate may not be effective for ordinary images; however this effect will be more when applied on printed or handwritten characters. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTherapeutic Effects of Phyllanthus Species: Induction of TNF-α-mediated Apoptosis in HepG2 Hepatocellular Carcinoma CellsSripathi M. Sureban, Dharmalingam Subramaniam, Paramasivam Rajendran et al.Phyllanthus species, especially P. amarus is a medicinal plant with hepatoprotective activity, believed to occur in part by inhibiting hepatitis B virus function. The pathogenesis mechanism of viral hepatitis is closely related to hepatocyte necrosis apoptosis. The aim of our study was to investigate the in vitro effects of extracts from three Phyllanthus species, P. urinaria, P. amarus and P. … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 9,005 accessesView PDFCite
