Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship Between Blood Fibrinogen Concentration and Pathological Features of Cancer Patients: A 139-case Clinical StudyDa-Yong Lu, Xue-Liang Chen, Min Huang et al.Angiogenesis and coagulation are among the most consistent host responses to the presence of a malignant tissue. Pathological angiogenesis and coagulation are often occurred in patients with solid tumors, especially in the occurrence of neoplasm metastasis and as targets for anti-metastatic drugs such as antiangiogenesis agents, coagulation-mediated agents and anticancer drugs. Since fibrinogen (Fib) is the most abundant and key … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2010 · 7,871 accessesView PDFCite

WigginsProblem statement: There exists misconceptions about the roles and characteristics of diversity and multiculturalism is American Society. The definitions and interrelationships are skewed as there continue to exist unanswered questions about to what extent the society is multicultural. Approach: The objective is to illustrated and discussed a theoretical construct where it will be possible to define, examine and test specific … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,139 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModulation of Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 and Some Inflammatory Variables in Hyperinsulinemic Rats Treated with Cinnamon ExtractMohamed H. Mahfouz, Hala M. Ghanem, Mona A. MohamedCinnamon Extract (CE) has shown to be generally safe when ingested and to have many pharmacological properties. Problem statement: Study the effects of daily intake of CE on the modulation of hepatic, cardiac Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 (IRS-1) and their relations to some inflammatory variables in hyperinsulinemic rats. Approach: The influence of CE administered orally was studied in hyperinsulinemic rats. Eighteen … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,814 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Engineering Method for Fuzzy Reliability Analysis of Surge Control in Centrifugal CompressorAhmed Hafaifa, Ferhat Laaouad, Moulod GuemanaProblem statement: The surge phenomenon in the centrifugal compressor, the non-linearities and uncertainties of the compression system make it impossible to use a conventional controller over a wide range of operation. Approach: A new dual fuzzy controller for nonlinear model of compression system was proposed in this study. This fuzzy controller was designed that consisted of active surge control and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,229 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMast Cells Inhibit CD8+ T Cell-Mediated Rejection of a Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma-Like Tumor: Involvement of Fas-Fas Ligand AxisHiroshi Furukawa, Hiroshi Kitazawa, Izumi Kaneko et al.Problem statement: Mast cells develop from bone marrow-derived progenitor cells and are distributed in the skin or mucosa where they play proinflammatory roles in the first line of defense. Since some tumors in humans and experimental animals exhibited infiltration of increased mast cells, we investigated the contribution of mast cells to the override of tumor rejection. Approach: MRL/N-1 cells are … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Flexible and Reliable Architecture for Mobile Agent SecurityGhossoon M.W. Al-SaadoonProblem statement: Wireless application protocol is a protocol that makes it possible to surf the Internet from a cellular phone or other handheld wireless. Many of us that surf the Internet from home with a 56 kbps modem think that it is slow and a cell phone only uses 9.6 kbps so WAP has to take the lesser bandwidth into … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Farmers Willingness to Pay for Wheat Consultant Engineers Project: In IranAli Asadi, Morteza Akbari, Hossain Shabanali Fami, Amir AlambaigiProblem statement: Public extension performance in many developing countries including Iran is not up to the expectation of farming community. Further, in recent years, many governments are very reluctant to shoulder huge financial investment for public extension. Hence, extension specialists and policy makers propose privatization of extension services in developing countries. Approach: Considering existing agricultural extension scenario, a study designed … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Prm Antibody as an Autoantibody in Dengue Virus InfectionKao-Jean Huang, Yu-Tien Cheng, Yee-Shin Lin et al.We have reported that anti-prM antibody is an enhancing antibody that enhances DV infection of non-Fc receptor bearing cells by dual specificity. We identified the epitope recognized by this anti-prM antibody, M3, which is located at the a.a.53-67of the prM protein nearby the prM/M cleavage junction and these anti-M3 antibodies could be detected in dengue patients sera. Surprisingly, this anti-prM … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
