Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPollen Flavonoid/Phenolic Acid Composition of Four Species of Cactaceae and its Taxonomic SignificanceNorma Almaraz-Abarca, MarÍa G. Campos, Elí A. Delgado-Alvarado et al.The pollen flavonoid/phenolic acid composition of 14 individual of Stenocactus multicostatus subsp. zacatecasensis (Britton et Rose) U. Guzmán et Vázquez-Benitez, comb. et stat. nov., 11 of Echinocereus enneacanthus Engelmann, 8 of Echinocereus pectinatus (Scheidweiler) Engelmann and 12 of Mammillaria heyderi sensu lato (all belonging to Cactaceae) was analyzed by HPLC/DAD with the aim of determining the role of pollen profiles … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simple Robust Control Chart Based on MADMoustafa Omar Ahmed Abu-ShawieshControl charts are one of the most powerful tools used to detect aberrant behavior in industrial processes. The Shewhart S-control chart is one of the most widely used statistical process control techniques developed to control the process variability based on the fundamental assumption that the underlying distribution of the quality characteristic is normal. When the underlying normality assumption is not … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 14,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProteins polymorphism of some populations of Lygeum spartum L. in AlgeriaAbderrezak Djabeur, Meriem Kaid-Harche, Douadi KhelifiLygeum spartum L. represent a natural barrier in the Algerian high plateaus against the advances of sand and turning into a desert. This species has two levels of ploïdy (diploïd cytotype 2n = 16 and polyploidy cytotype 2n = 40). Protein profile of several populations of this species have inter and intra specific variability. The polymorphic bands observed in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,093 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Immunomodulatory Properties of a Calf Lipid Thymus Extract and Standardization of a Method for Quantification of its Biological ActivityMiodrag Colic, Radmila Popovic, Dusanka Mrdakovic et al.The aim of this study was to test the immunobiological properties of a new formulation of the lipid thymus calf extract (Thymsol), prepared for in vitro cell culture experiments. At first, we showed that Thymsol enhanced the antigen specific immune response in AO rats in vitro, using Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). At lower concentrations (0.5-2.5 μg mL-1) the extract increased … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPM Emissions in a Urban ContextEnrico Brizio, Giuseppe Genon, Stefania BorsarelliWithin a urban environment, three different sources of particulate matter should be considered: heating plants using different combustibles (natural gas, gas oil, fuel oil, wood), industrial plants placed in the surrounding area, traffic. While the effects of the first two origins can be easily calculated on the basis of existing emission factors, the PM emissions from traffic are of two … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Nitrate Contamination Risk Assessment: A Comparison of Parametric Systems and Simulation ModellingDario Sacco, Marco Offi, Marina De Maio, Carlo GrignaniGroundwater nitrate contamination is a source of rising concern that has been faced through the introduction of several regulations in different countries. However the methodologies used in the definition of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones are not included in the regulations. The aim of this work was to compare different methodologies, used to asses groundwater nitrate contamination risks, based on parametric systems … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Variation and Relationship Between Turkish Flint Maize Landraces by RAPD MarkersA. OkumusA comparative characterization of 17 flint maize landraces (Zea mays L.) was carried out using RAPD markers. Fourteen primers giving reliable and consistent polymorphic bands amplified 125 fragments (89%) with an average of 8.90 fragment per primer. Genetic variation in 17 maize landraces was characterized based on dissimilarity matrix by UPGMA dendogram which has no association into distinct grouping with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,977 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 abstractContribution of Advective and Non-advective Heat Fluxes to the Heat Budget of a Shallow LagoonRodríguez-Rodríguez MiguelThe heat budget in a shallow lagoon has been established from field measurements at a bihourly scale. Information on the main advective and non-advective heat fluxes were collected during year 2003 at Nueva lagoon (Almería, Southern Spain). Heat storage data was obtained from a thermistor chain located in the deepest part of the lagoon and meteorological information was acquired using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
