Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Distribution of Organic Carbon in the Surface Sediments of the Terengganu Nearshore Coastal AreaS. Hasrizal, B. Y. Kamaruzzaman, I. Sakri et al.Problem statement: The distribution of organic carbon in the surface sediment is a crucial indicator for current productivity in the ocean especially in the nearshore area. The difference of organic carbon in the surface sediment reflects the influence of current movement on the bottom sediment. Approach: This study was carried out to oversee the difference of organic carbon distribution during … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of Embryogenic Callus and Plant Regeneration in Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.)Omid KaramiIn this study, efficient plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis is achieved in four cultivars of carnation (Nelson, Sagres, Spirit and Impulse). Embryogenic calli were induced on petal explants only, all the calli established on leaf, sepal, receptacle and style explants were not embryogenic. Embryogenic calli were obtained on Morashige and Skoog basal medium (1962) containing sucrose 9%, 2.0 mg L-1 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntispasmodic Activity of Persea cordata Vell. Mez. (Lauraceae) Fractions on Guinea Pig Ileum Induced by 5-Hydroxytryptamine and BradykininJúlio A. Zampirolo, Hellen K. Stulzer, Monika Piazzon Tagliari et al.Problem statement: Persea cordata previously demonstrated antispasmodic action against two neurotransmitters. It is important confirm such action against other neurotransmitters. Approach: Present study described the antispasmodic activity of polar (EtOAc; n-BuOH) and non polar (n-hexane; dichloromethane) fractions from the bark of Persea cordata, against guinea pig ileum contracted by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and bradykinin (BK). Results: The results indicated that hexane … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,400 accessesView PDFCite
