The virus has been isolated from NWCs particularly in alpacas and dromedaries, but there are no reports of BVD in Bactrians. BVD is an important infectious disease. Both sub-genotypes 1a, 1b and genotype 2 have been isolated from NWCs but the … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Aug 2012 · 12,853 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Heirloom Tomato Polyphenol Extracts on Expression of Inflammation Genes in BovineKwaku Gyenai, Nona Mikiashvili, Hamid Ismail, Mulumebet WorkuThe effect of tomato on diseases of economic importance continues to be of broad interest. To evaluate these relationships, the effect of crude extracts of Cherokee purple tomato on pro-inflammatory genes and cytokines were evaluated. Neutrophils from three Holstein Fresian cows were treated with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) or E. coli O111-B4 Lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Treated cells were exposed to different … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 25 Aug 2012 · 8,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChanges in the Human Skin Microbiome Over One Year’s TimeRichard W. Hyman, Farbod Babrzadeh, Curtis Palm et al.Human skin comprises a large number of distinguishable ecological niches. To describe fully the human skin microbiome, it will be necessary to identify the bacteria in each niche and to distinguish the commensal bacteria from the temporary residents. To contribute to the description of the human skin microbiome and employing a gene-based technology, we have identified the bacteria in two … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 23 Jul 2012 · 7,048 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArabic Named Entity Recognition Using Artificial Neural NetworkNaji F. Mohammed, Nazlia OmarProblem statement: Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a task to identify proper names as well as temporal and numeric expressions, in an open-domain text. The NER task can help to improve the performance of various Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications such as Information Extraction (IE), Information Retrieval (IR) and Question Answering (QA) tasks. This study discusses on the Named Entity … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 16 Jul 2012 · 8,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary β-glucan Leads to Increased TNF-α Production in the LungRadiah C. Minor, Melody L. Robinson-Wright, Morika Williams, Steven L. HurleyProblem statement: Beta (β)-glucan is notable for its ability to stimulate the immune system and as such β-glucan and products containing β-glucan are used as dietary supplements for livestock and companion animals. β-glucan has been shown to activate macrophages and neutrophils and modulate the production of certain cytokines, including the pro-inflammatory cytokine, Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α). Because TNF-α is … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2012 · 7,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteria on Human SkinRichard W. Hyman, Farbod Babrzadeh, Curtis Palm et al.Problem statement: Human skin is a large (~ 1.75 m2) organ containing a large number of ecologically distinct sites. These sites harbor a variety of distinct microbiomes. One challenge is to define the microbiome at every site. We chose two interesting sites: the base of the Front of the neck and the base of the Back of the neck (the … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2012 · 8,204 accessesView PDFCite

Singh et al.Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs); obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) and cancer have become major health problems in both developing and developed countries. Physical inactivity and increased intake of energy rich proinflammatory foods in association with genetic predisposition are common primary risk factors for these problems. Mind-body interactions and mechanisms in relation to hypothalamus neurotransmitters and vagus nerve have … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,323 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForest Fires and Resuspension of Radionuclides into the AtmosphereFernando P. Carvalho, Joao M. Oliveira, Margarida MaltaProblem statement: Forest fires are especially frequent around the Mediterranean Sea basin in the summer period and might be able to release naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides from plant biomass and inject them into the atmosphere. The impact of this radioactivity on populations was not investigated before. Approach: Radionuclide analysis was performed in plants, in smoke from plant burning and in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,362 accessesView PDFCite
