Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExplore Significant Factors To affect Customer InvolvementYu-Jia HuAlthough literature review supported the concept that customer loyalty, brand equity and perceived risk are significant factors to affect customer involvement, very limited studies have extensively examined the relationship among those variables. This research applied quantitative study to comprehensively explore the relationship between customer loyalty, brand equity, perceived risk and customer involvement for consumers. The population for this research was … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 8 Nov 2012 · 7,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForensically Flies Detect the Nutritional Value of Corpses Through Neuro-Chemoreceptive Cells-(5th Cell)Hedayat Abdel Ghaffar, Tarek Tantawi, Ibrahim Gaboub et al.Animals have evolved several chemosensory systems for detecting potentially dangerous foods in the environment. Activation of specific sensory cells within these chemosensory systems usually elicits an aversive behavioral response, leading to avoidance of the noxious foods. Blowflies respond to sugars, salts and water through the activation of specific chemoreceptor neurons in the antennal, labellar and tarsal chemosensillae. These insects also … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 5 Sep 2012 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Teaching Method to Develop a Critical Thinking of the Students of the General Education Ecclesiastical SchoolPhrakhruvisitpattanaporn, Saner Piromjitrapong, Saman AsavabhumiProblem statement: The objectives of the research were to study (1) the teaching method to develop a critical thinking of the students of the General Education Ecclesiastical School, (2) the effectiveness of the teaching method to develop a critical thinking of the students of the General Education Ecclesiastical School. Approach: The populations were the students of 35 general education ecclesiastical … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 31 Aug 2012 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPaleolithic-Style Diet and Coronary Artery Disease: The Tissue is the Issue?Eri Toda, Takahashi Toru, R. B. Singh et al.Approach: While the Western diet is proatherogenic, Paleolithic-style diet may be protective against Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs). Results: Western diet is characterized with energy dense, refined, foods with a high glycemic index (e.g., refined starches; biscuits and bread) and unhealthy lipids (e.g., trans fats, saturated fat, omega-6 rich oils) poor in omega-3 fatty acids, phytochemicals and fibre. These diets are known … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Aug 2012 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMoringa Oleifera Lam Mitigates Oxidative Damage and Brain Infarct Volume in Focal Cerebral IschemiaWoranan Kirisattayakul, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Terdthai Tong-Un et al.Problem statement: At present, the therapeutic outcome of cerebral ischemia is still not in the satisfaction level. Therefore, the preventive strategy is considered. Based on the protective effect against oxidative damage of Moringa oleifera Lam. Leaves extract, we hypothesized that this plant extract might protect against cerebral ischemia, one of the challenge problems nowadays. In order to test this hypothesis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 3 Aug 2012 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Exploration of Multilocus Interactions on the Genome-Wide ScaleIvan Kozyryev, Jing ZhangProblem statement: Recent technological and scientific advances propelled the field of Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), which promises to be instrumental in linking many common complex diseases to their genetic origin. While so far such large-scale surveys have been moderately successful in identifying disease related genetic variants, much of disease heritability is still not accounted for by the discovered loci. There … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Jul 2012 · 7,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDihydrobiopterin (BH2): Key Determinant in Influencing Arginine Mediated Endothelial Tolerance and DysfunctionSrinidi Mohan, Harsh Patel, Jorge Bolinaga et al.The redox-sensitive tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor that is required by endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) for L-arginine (ARG) mediated Nitric Oxide (NO) generation. Oxidation of BH4 causes cofactor insufficiency and uncoupling of eNOS, resulting in product switching from NO to O2⋅– production. Here we tested the hypothesis that eNOS uncoupling is not simply a consequence of BH4 insufficiency, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 8,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIs Color Perception of Packages Affected by Their In-aisle Position?Daniele Porcheddu, Maura Pugliatti, Antonio PinnaThe retail environment is characterized by numerous competing stimuli vying for the consumer’s attention. Products packages feature both verbal and nonverbal elements. Nonverbal stimuli, like package colors, seem to be particularly relevant for perception. Knowing whether there is preferential positioning of colored items on the shelves is fundamental for retailers. In addition, some colors may be better perceived than others. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 20 Apr 2012 · 8,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChildhood Mental Disorders and Risk of SchizophreniaWenbin Liang, Tanya ChikritzhsProblem statement: Schizophrenia is one of the most serious forms of mental diseases, but the etiology of schizophrenia is still not well understood. Investigations are required to gain better understanding of the pre-onset course of schizophrenia. Approach: This study was a population-based birth-cohort study of males born between 1980 and 1984 in Western Australia (WA). Males were identified using birth … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
