Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Two Different Dose Levels of Irradiation on Thioredoxin Reductase in the Kidney of Guinea PigsNedret Kılıc, Yildiz Guney, Ayse Hıcsonmez et al.It is aimed to examine the state of the oxidant-antioxidant system in the liver of guinea pig caused by ionizing radiation at two different dose levels in the early period. The research was carried out on guinea pigs irradiated with the doses of 8 Gy (group 2) or 15 Gy (group 3) (single dose/whole body) in comparison with control group … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Vertical Dispersion of Pollutants Resulting From Chimneys by Thermosiphon EffectA. O.M. Mahmoud, J. Zinoubi, R. B. Maad, A. BelghithThe dispersion of pollutants, resulting from industrial chimneys, in the surrounding atmosphere made the interest in realizing emitting conditions appears. It also encourages the vertical dispersion of these pollutants. At a given wind velocity, the height of this dispersion is essentially a function of the thermal power and the flow rate at the chimney exit. To improve these qualities, we … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrequency Behavior of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (Qcm) in Contact with Selected SolutionsZ. A. Talib, Z. Baba, S. Kurosawa et al.A device was constructed to monitor viscosity of solutions using fundamental frequency of 9 MHz and 10 MHz quartz crystal. Piezoelectric quartz crystals with gold electrodes were mounted by O-ring in between liquid flow cell. Only one side of the crystal was exposed to the solutions which were pumped through silicon tube by a peristaltic pump. The measured frequency shift … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical and Immunological Study on the Effects of Barley and its Components as Hypoglycemic Agents in Diabetic RatsMokhtar I. Yousef, Medhat Haroun, Mohamed H. El-Masry, Reham EA. AteiaThe present study was carried out to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of barley (Hordeum vulgare L) and some of its components such as amino acids (L-leucine and L-glutamine) and chromium picolinate on some biochemical and immunological parameters of alloxan induced diabetic rats. Alloxan-diabetic rats were treated with barley water (10% w/v) at a dose 10 ml Kg-1 b.wt., chromium picolinate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Flow Structure of A Thermal Plume Evolving in an Unlimited and in A Semi-Enclosed EnvironmentJamil Zinoubi, A. Ould Mohamed Mahmoud, Taoufik Naffouti et al.The basic objective of this study was to better knowledge the fine flow structure of thermal plume created by a heated disk, evolving in an unlimited and in a semi-enclosed environment. The flow visualization and the study of the temperature fluctuations spectrum show clearly a considerable change of the turbulent structure of the internal flow in comparison with the free … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParsimonious Var Models For Air Pollution Dynamic AnalysisFontanella lara, Granturco mariagraziaWe discuss a framework to obtain temporal predictions for an evolving spatial field regularly sampled in time at arbitrary spatial locations. Difficulties caused by large data sets and the modelling of complicated spatio-temporal interactions limit the effectiveness of traditional space-time statistical models. In this study, we propose the use of a flexible approach to deal with large and small time-scale … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory Treatment of Infertility in Men with Elevated Antisperm AntibodiesIvan Bubanovic, Slobodan Kojic, Stevo Najman, Zlatibor AndjelkovicPossible causes of subfertility or infertility in men are still poorly defined, but one important category may be elevated level of antisperm antibodies (ASA) caused by infective and/or autoimmune diseases, as well as injuries of male reproductive system. In this study, blood sera from 45 infertile men of different age with ASA positive ELISA test were examined for the serum … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunohistochemical Detection of Apoptosis-Related Proteins in Gerbil Hippocampus Transient Cerebral Ischemia: Neuroprotective Effect of PitavastatinToshiki Himeda, Natsumi Hayakawa, Hiroko Tounai et al.Delayed and selective neuronal damage was caused in the CA1 sector of hippocampus following 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils. We investigated the immunohistochemical alterations of apoptosis-related proteins such as bcl-2α, bcl-xs/l, bax, cytochrome c, and active caspase 3 and TUNEL staining in the hippocampus at 1 and 5 hr and 1, 2, 5 and 14 days after … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong Cycles in Employment, Inflation and Real Unit Wage Costs, Qualitative Analysis and Quantitative AssessmentPeter Flaschel, Goeran Kauermann, Timo TeuberThis study provided some theoretical foundations for the empirical hypothesis. At first presented two simple prototype models of inflation, stagflation and disinflation. We concluded that there are cycles with a phase length much longer than the ordinary business cycle (in fact approximately five times as long as we saw in the empirical phase plots of the paper) which are not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 18 Dec 2005 · 8,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Experimental Study of Petty Corrupt Behaviour in Small Decision Making ProblemsTakemi FujikawaThis research discusses small decision making problems and petty corruption as their practical applications with a structured economic experiment. One of examples of petty corruption considered includes demands for petty bribes by traffic officials followed by police. We examine that it is caused by subjective underweighting of rare events and its objective probabilities. This literature reports results of an experiment, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 3 Dec 2005 · 8,105 accessesView PDFCite
