Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUnderstanding Hybrid Additive Manufacturing of Functional DevicesSantosh Kumar Parupelli, Salil DesaiThe fabrication of electronic components in three-dimensional space is critical for building multifunctional devices. Traditional manufacturing approaches are limited to building planar device configurations. In order to address this limitation, our group has developed a novel hybrid additive manufacturing process that can deposit multi-material patterns on conformal substrates. This direct-write approach involves the combination of microextrusion, pico jet and laser … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2017 · 8,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTwo Simple Yet Effective Strategies for Avoiding Over-Smoothing in SFS ProblemMonica Carfagni, Rocco Furferi, Lapo Governi et al.Minimization techniques are widely used for retrieving a 3D surface starting from a single shaded image i.e., for solving the shape from shading problem. Such techniques are based on the assumption that expected surface to be retrieved coincides with the one that minimize a properly developed functional, consisting of several contributions. Among the possible contributes defining the functional, the so … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 20 Apr 2016 · 8,122 accessesView PDFCite

ChandramathiWeb Services are emerging technologies which satisfy users’ requests on the Web. Selecting appropriate services to suit the needs is a huge task. There are a huge number of service providers who offer same type of service, with differences in functional and non functional qualities. A few users may need multiple services at the same moment. So composition of services … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 18 Jan 2014 · 6,602 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImmune Metabolism in Functional Aspects of the BrainElisa Gonzalez Cuevas, Nitya G. ChakrabortyThe brain interacts with the immune system in a highly regulated and restricted manner. Immune signals initiate pro- and anti-inflammatory activity in most body tissues in response to disease states and injury. An accumulation of inflammatory insults can disrupt immune metabolic homeostasis and give rise to pathology in sensitive areas. Here, we provide an overview of interactions between immune metabolism … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2019 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRegister-Specific Collocational Constructions in English and Spanish: A Usage-Based ApproachGloria Corpas PastorConstructions are usage-based, conventionalised pairings of form and function within a cline of complexity and schematisation. Most research within Construction Grammar has focused on the monolingual description of schematic constructions: Mainly in English, but to a lesser extent in other languages as well. By contrast, very little constructional analyses have been carried out across languages. In this study we will … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 Jul 2015 · 9,705 accessesView PDFCite

Growing attention is being paid to traditional medicinal plants possessing antioxidant activity, as they have been proved therapeutically/prophylactically fruitful against stroke condition. Present study provides evidence of the neroprotective effects of a Thai traditional herb, Kaempferia Parviflora (KP) extract, against … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2012 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite

However, the factors that make technology construct in a virtual R&D team are still ambiguous. The manager of virtual R&D teams for new product development does not know which type of technology should be used. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2012 · 10,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDietary Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucans Reduce Clinical Signs of Canine AtopyA. C. Beynen, D. H.J. Saris, P. M. Paap et al.Problem statement: There was evidence that beta-1,3/1,6-glucans modulate inflammatory activity. In an open, non-controlled trial, purified beta-1,3/1,6-glucans were found to improve the clinical signs of dogs with undefined chronic skin disorders. Given the design of that study, further work was required on the efficacy of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans in the treatment of canine atopy. Approach: The influence of a purified preparation of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2012 · 9,979 accessesView PDFCite

De Jong et al.Problem statement: Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory joint disease associated with loss of cartilage matrix. There is suggestive evidence that the intake of polydextrose fiber has anti-inflammatory activity. It was reasoned that polydextrose may have a positive influence on canine osteoarthritis. Approach: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with privately owned dogs was carried out to assess the efficacy of STA-LITE® polydextrose in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2011 · 9,052 accessesView PDFCite
