Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Combined Phytohemagglutinin And α-Ketoglutarate Pharmacology Study of Gut Morphology and Growth in Older Adult RatsR. Filip, A. Harrison, S. G. PierzynowskiThis study has evaluated the effect of phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) in combination with alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG), on GI-tract morphology and N balance in adult rats. Rats, aged approx. 15 months, were assigned to one of four experimental groups, (1) Control group, (2) AKG group, (3) AKG+PHA 100% group and (4) AKG+PHA 1% group. AKG and AKG+PHA were administered via a stomach … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,085 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRule Extraction from Radial Basis Functional Neural Networks by Using Particle Swarm OptimizationM. R. Senapati, I. Vijaya, P. K. DashRadial basis functional neural networks (RBFNN) provide an outstanding possibility for generating rules for solving pattern classification problems. One of the most important factors in RBFNN is finding out the center and spread. This paper examines rules extracted from RBF networks trained by Particle swarm Optimization (PSO). The selection of the RBFNN centers, spreads and the network weights can be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,791 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction and Identification of Water-Soluble Compounds in Palm-Pressed Fiber by SC-CO2 and GC-MSHarrison Lau Lik Nang, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah Ngan, Chuah Cheng HockThe residual oil recovered from palm-pressed fiber is known to contain high level of carotenes (4,000 mg kgˉ1 to 6,000 mg kgˉ1) and vitamin E such as tocopherols and tocotrienols (2,000 mg kgˉ1 to 3,000 mg kgˉ1). In this study, the water-soluble compounds in fresh palm-pressed fiber were recovered by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction. The concentration of these compounds … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,326 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Mirex Concentrations along the Southern Shorelines of the Great Lakes, USADennis A. Apeti, Gunnar G. lauensteinMirex is a persistent and toxic polychlorinated pesticide that has compromised environmental quality in the Great Lakes region since the 1960s. As a bioaccumulative and carcinogenic compound, mirex at its current levels in Lake Ontario is a concern because of the potential for trophic level transfer and biomagnification in top predators. As a part of the NOAA’s National Status and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,938 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Ranking Capability of the Hyperlink Based Search Engines Using Heuristic ApproachHaider A. Ramadhan, Khalil Shihab, Jafar H. AliTo evaluate the informative content of a Web page, the Web structure has to be carefully analyzed. Hyperlink analysis, which is capable of measuring the potential information contained in a Web page with respect to the Web space, is gaining more attention. The links to and from Web pages are an important resource that has largely gone unused in existing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,382 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDigital Hardware Implementation of a Neural System Used for Nonlinear Adaptive PredictionHassène Faiedh, Chokri Souani, Kholdoun Torki, Kamel BesbesNeural networks have been widely used for many applications in digital communications. They are able to give solutions to complex problems due to their nonlinear processing and their learning and generalization. Neural networks are one of the key technologies for the communication domain and accordingly a special effort may be expected to be paid to real time hardware implementation issues. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,767 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Indexing Technique for Information Retrieval Systems Using Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST)Muhammad Shoaib, Abad Ali ShahEffective information retrieval requires an efficient indexing technique. With the availability of huge volume of information, it has become necessary to capture the semantic of the document, which is almost impossible with the existing techniques. Moreover in the existing technique the weights once assign are remains unchangeable through out the cycle. In this paper an indexing technique assignment using Rhetorical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,413 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNa,K-ATPase α Subunit-like Immunoreactive Proteins in Human Body FluidsJeng-Hsiung F. PengNa,K-ATPase was recently considered a target for breast cancer treatment since its potent inhibitors ouabain and related digitalis compounds that were reported circulating in body fluids before, were found to possess potent anti-breast cancer activity. Based on this finding, it is hypothesized that Na,K-ATPase derivatives could be circulating in the body and potential candidate biomarkers for early disease detection. Western … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,893 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Chitosan-poly (Ethylene Oxide) Blends as Haemodialysis MembraneN. F. Mohd Nasir, N. Mohd Zain, M. G. Raha, N. A. KadriBlend membranes of chitosan and poly (ethylene oxide) with different molecular weights of 100,000 and 600,000 were prepared by the solution cast technique. The Chitosan-PEO blend membranes were produced to study their water adsorptions capacity and characteristics of the haemodialysis membrane application. An increase in the water adsorption capacity of chitosan-PEO blend membranes compared to the pure chitosan was due … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,430 accessesView PDF Cite
