Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural and Immunological Characterization of Hepatitis C Core Protein-DNA Plasmid ComplexesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Yaraima Aguilera, Viviana Falcon et al.Recently, it has been shown that a truncated HCV core (HCcAg) variant, covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120), interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine (pIDKE2), encoding the HCV structural proteins (HCcAg, E1 and E2). In the present work, HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes, forming heterogeneous packaged structures, were visualized using a negative stain/rotary shadow technique. Interestingly, 72 hours after intramuscular injection of HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,746 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Application of Carhart Atom Pairs to Predict Anticonvulsant ActivityAlan Talevi, Julian J. Prieto, Luis E. Bruno-Blanch, Eduardo CastroAbout 50 million people in the world suffer from epilepsy, especially in childhood, adolescence and old age. Available treatment fails to control epilepsy in up to 30% of affected people. In developing countries, however, the amount of patients that do not receive adequate treatment climbs up to 75%. Moreover, the new generation of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) causes important central and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,862 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutonomic Middleware Services for Just-In-Time Grid Services ProvisioningWail M. Omar, A. Taleb-Bendiab, Yasir KaramThe advent of widespread distributed computing environment, such as information systems and computational grids computing has enabled a new generation of applications that are based on seamless access, aggregation and interaction. The dramatic side of the story is a strong presence of the plea that those decentralized Grids are potentially affected by a number of primitives derived from their anatomy, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,584 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Removal of 4-Chlorophenol and Dichloroacetic Acid in Water Using Ti-, Zr- and Ti/Zr-Pillared Bentonites as PhotocatalystMohamed Houari, Mohamed Saidi, Djamel Tabet et al.Heterogeneous photocatalysis could be alternative remediation technology for water since it does not need the addition of any chemicals and it is suitable for treating low concentrations of pollutant. Although the TiO2 Degussa P 25 is most used photocatalyst its photonic efficiency still low and its recovery from water is considered as an awkward process. In this study the effect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 7,523 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation of Cellulosic Membrane Containing Pyrrolidone Moiety Via Radiation Induced Grafting and its Application in Wastewater TreatmentA. S. Aly, H. H. Sokker, A. Hashem, A. HebeishRadiation induced grafting of vinyl pyrrolidone onto cellulose wood pulp was carried out in heterogeneous and homogenous media using gamma radiation. Cellulose wood pulp was used in different forms; a) in a homogenous solution by dissolving the wood pulp in N,N- dimethylacetamide/Lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl) mixture , b) in a membrane form, by precipitating the cellulose solution in water and c) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,457 accessesView PDF Cite
