Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Bidispersed Model System and Binary System for FerrofluidsJian Li, Decai LiFerrofluids, dispersions of magnetic nanoparticles, are typical dipolar fluids whose behaviors can be modified using an external magnetic field. Such magnetically controlled effects result from interactions between the magnetic particles, which are enhanced by an applied magnetic field. Since the system of particles always possesses a size distribution, real ferrofluids represent a polydispersed system. A theoretical model of a bidispersed … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2013 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractButyrate-Mediated Genomic Changes Involved in Non-Specific Host Defenses, Matrix Remodeling and the Immune Response in the Rumen Epithelium of Cows Afflicted with Subacute Ruminal AcidosisLouis Dionissopoulos, Anne Hermen Laarman, Ousama AlZahal et al.Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a disorder in cattle which can lead to chronic inflammation in the rumen epithelium, known as rumenitis. Butyrate has been shown to attenuate some of the detrimental effects of inflammatory gastroenteral disorders but the molecular mechanisms mediated by butyrate have not been defined. The objective of this study was to define the inflammatory-related genomic changes … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2013 · 8,065 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPossible Mechanism of Plumbago zeylanica in Prevention of Hepatic Dammage in Wistar RatRohit Goyal, Pyare Lal SharmaPlumbago zeylanica root has been used traditionally to treat various body ailments including liver diseases. The present study was designed to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of standardized methanolic extract of Plumbago zeylanica root on paracetamol, CCl4 and alcohol induced hepatic injuries in rats and its possible mechanism(s) of hepatoprotection. Administration of hepatotoxicants like paracetamol (3 g kg-1, p.o.) or CCl4 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2012 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlexural and Tensile Characteristics of Micro Fiber-Reinforced Very High Strength Concrete Thin PanelsTaher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie Fini, Monique LumpkinThe purpose of this research was to experimentally characterize the flexural and tensile characteristics of fiber-reinforced Very High-Strength Concrete (VHSC) panels. The panels were made with a unique mix of cementitous materials achieving compressive strength of 26,000 psi (180 MPa) or greater. VHSC panels were reinforced with polypropylene fibers of 1 inch (25.4 mm) in length and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevamisole Enhances Cell-Mediated Immune Responses and Reduces Shedding of H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus in Japanese Quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)Tahoora Shomali, Najmeh Mosleh, Arash AlaeddiniProblem statement: Regarding the role of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in reassortment and spreading of avian influenza (AI) viruses and inadequate protection of vaccination in this species, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of levamisole as an immunomodulatory agent on cell-mediated immunity (CMI), antibody responses and shedding of H9N2 AI virus in experimentally infected quails. Approach: On … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermo-Acoustic Water Analyzer in Hydrocarbon Emulsions with Kalman FilterMohammad A. Al-Khedher, Tariq M. Younes, Mohammad A.K. AliaProblem statement: Water detection in hydrocarbon emulsions represents a serious challenge in petroleum production industry. The elemenation of measurment noises is also desired. Approach: In this study, a systematic and an applicable method of water detection in hydrocarbon emulsion is achieved using thermoacoustic effect. A Kalman filter is applied to correct measurement errors and to improve accuracy. Results: The study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Bio-Fuel Blends and Fuel Injection Pressure on Diesel Engine Emission for Sustainable EnvironmentKandasamy Muralidharan, Palanisamy GovindarajanProblem statement: Diesel engine emits more pollutants to atmosphere causing air pollution. This necessitates the search of a renewable alternate fuel which is environment friendly. The objective of this research was to investigate the environmental aspects of pongamia bio-fuel in a single cylinder diesel engine with the influence of fuel injection pressure. Approach: Bio-fuel was prepared from non-edible Pongamia pinnata … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransient Response of a Novel Displacement Transducer for Magnetic Levitation SystemMrunal Deshpande, Badrilal MathurProblem statement: In magnetic levitation system, position sensors are used to obtain a voltage proportional to the position of the suspended object. This is an essential feedback signal for stabilizing the system. These sensors make the system clumsy and prone to failures. To eliminate any physical attachment on the levitated object for the purpose of measuring its displacement, a novel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,240 accessesView PDFCite
