Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHARACTERIZATION OF OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH AND RICE HUSK BIOCHARS AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO ADSORB ARSENIC AND CADMIUMNorazlina Abu Sari, Che Fauziah Ishak, Rosenani Abu BakarBiochar as a new soil amendment has a potential in controlling the fate of trace elements in the soil system. However, the production of biochar from different feedstocks and pyrolysis conditions resulted in variable biochar properties which have an influence on trace elements availability. The experimental works are focused on physical and chemical properties of biochars produced from Empty Fruit … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2014 · 10,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAPREDUCE CHALLENGES ON PERVASIVE GRIDSL. A. Steffenel, O. Flauzac, A. S. Charao et al.This study presents the advances on designing and implementing scalable techniques to support the development and execution of MapReduce application in pervasive distributed computing infrastructures, in the context of the PER-MARE project. A pervasive framework for MapReduce applications is very useful in practice, especially in those scientific, enterprises and educational centers which have many unused or underused computing resources, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 24 Jul 2014 · 9,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMMON FRAMEWORK: A HYBRID APPROACH TO INTEGRATE CROSS-PLATFORM COMPONENTS IN MOBILE APPLICATIONJoachim Perchat, Mikael Desertot, Sylvain LecomteThere is a multitude of mobile OS: iOS android, Windows Phone 8 and each OS provides its own standards and tools. This heterogeneity in the mobile domain forces developers to implement an application for each mobile platform. To achieve that, developers need to master several languages (Java, Objective-C...). They also need to have several devices at their disposal (PC, Mac, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 22 Jul 2014 · 8,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRADIOSENSITIZATION OF CANCER STEM CELLS: TARGETING TGFβ, NOTCH OR TELOMERASE TO IMPROVE TUMOR RESPONSE O RADIOTHERAPYIgnacio Fernandez-GarciaRadiation resistant cancer stem cells are the main reason for treatment failure and tumor recurrence after cancer radiotherapy. Increasing biological evidences demonstrate that these cells possess the capacity to repair radiation induced DNA damage, protect themselves from radiation derived reactive oxygen species, survive and proliferate after several fractions of radiotherapy and finally, repopulate the heterogeneity of the tumor. Thus, targeting … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2014 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOUPLED NITROGEN AND OXYGEN ISOTOPE STUDY OF NITRATE AT A RURAL UNLINED LANDFILL IN WESTERN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIAJohn W. Moreau, Andrew M. MinardUnderstanding of site-scale physical and chemical heterogeneities will inform remediation strategies for unlined rural landfills worldwide. The aim of this study was to characterize potential sources of nitrogen contamination to groundwater at an unlined landfill in rural western Victoria, Australia. Results revealed simultaneously high concentrations of both nitrate and ammonia within several wells, indicative of heterogeneous redox potentials within the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2014 · 7,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF SARCOCYTIS FUSIFORMIS AND SARCOCYSTIS BUFFALONIS INFECTING WATER BUFFALOES (BUBALUS BUBALIS) FROM EGYPTMahmoud El-Seify, Ahmed El-Morsey, Mosaad Hilali et al.Parasites of the genus Sarcocystis have the ability to infect wide range of animals, birds and reptiles. Water buffaloes are intermediate hosts for four Sarcocystis species; S. fusiformis, S. buffalonis, S. levinei and S. dubeyi. There was no previous molecular identification of Sarcocystis spp. parasitizing water buffaloes from Egypt. The current study was established to screen infection rates and apply … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractATRA AS A POTENTIAL ANTIMETASTATIC AGENT IN COLORECTAL ADENOCARCINOMARobert Edwards, Kambiz Afrasiabi, Kehui WangThe family of Retinoic acid compounds have long been the subject of intense study and interest as chemo prophylactic agents. This dates back to their therapeutic effect in leukoplakia Where ATRA was shown to lead to the reversal of premalignant lesions and Subsequent reports on their use in metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma and a vast array of other malignant disorders as … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA MULTI ATTRIBUTE RANKING MECHANISM FOR PEER-TO-PEER NETWORKSSheila Anand, B. SwaminathanP2P systems are envisioned to play a greater role in collaborative applications. P2P environments remove the challenging task of using servers for information sharing. Emerging collaborative P2P systems require discovery and utilization of multi-attribute, distributed and dynamic group of resources to achieve greater tasks beyond conventional file and processor cycle sharing. The process of selection of a peer for collaborative … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Feb 2014 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW-THRESHOLD BASED JOB SCHEDULING FOR GRID SYSTEML. RamaparvathyIn heterogeneous distributed systems, utility grids have emerged as a new model of service. In this service, workflow scheduling is one of the challenging problems for satisfying user’s quality requirements. One of the main issues in work flow scheduling is to minimize the workflow execution cost in terms of time and makespan. In this study, we propose a new workflow … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 3 Feb 2014 · 6,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Aluminum Alloy-Based Nanocomposites Produced by the Addition of AL-TI5-B1 to the Matrix MeltHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe present study is an attempt to produce aluminum matrix nanocomposites using a certain aluminum alloy (which its melt has high fluidity) as a matrix material and reinforced with hard and stable fine (nano-sized) precipitates. Therefore, Al-Ti5-B1 master alloy and Al-Si alloy of high silicon content were proposed for preparation of such nanocomposites. Three nanocomposites were prepared by adding Al-Ti5-B1 … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2014 · 7,130 accessesView PDFCite
