Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Pulverised Fly Ash (PFA) as an Ameliorant of Lead Contaminated SoilsEdmond Gatima, Mwinyikione Mwinyihija, Ken KillhamFly Ash (FA) is obtained by electrostatic or mechanical precipitation of dust-like particles from the flue gases of furnace fired with coal or lignite at 1100 to 1400°C. About 95-99% of Fly Ash consists of oxides of Si, Al, Fe and Ca, about 0.5 to 3.5% consists of Na, P, K and S and the remainder is composed of trace … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Text Mining Approach for Finding Protein-to-Disease AssociationsHisham Al-Mubaid, Rajit K. SinghDiscovering significant relationships between biological entities from text documents is an important task for biologists in order to develop biological models for research and discovery, especially with the existing gigantic amounts of biomedical documents and the rate at which they are increasing everyday. We propose a new text mining method to extract associations between biological entities from text documents; and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulations of Two-dimensional High Speed Turbulent Compressible Flow in a Diffuser and a Nozzle Blade CascadeK. C. Ng, M. Z. Yusoff, T. F. YusafThis research describes the development of a new structured 2D CFD solver for compressible flow. The high-speed turbulent flow in a diffuser and a cascade of nozzle blade is predicted using standard k-ε turbulence model. The new finite volume CFD solver employs second-order accurate central differencing scheme for spatial discretization and multi-stage Runge-Kutta time integration to solve the set of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Credit Scoring for Agricultural Loans in ThailandVisit Limsombunchai, Christopher Gan, Minsoo LeeLoan contract performance determines the profitability and stability of the financial institutions and screening the loan applications is a key process in minimizing credit risk. Before making any credit decisions, credit analysis (the assessment of the financial history and financial backgrounds of the borrowers) should be completed as part of the screening process. A good credit risk assessment assists financial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Routing Algorithm for Ad hoc Mobile NetworksHamed S. Al-BdourThis research has examined the issues of routing in multi-hop wireless networks of mobile nodes without the need for any existing network infrastructure or administration. This is called ad hoc. The key point of this research article are selecting routing protocols which adapts quickly to routing changes when host movement is frequent, yet requires little or no overhead during periods … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram-Derived Radial Decision Trees: An Innovative Approach to Susceptibility Data DisplayRocco J. Perla, Paul P. BelliveauHospital antibiograms (ABGMs) are often presented in the form of large 2-factor (single organism vs. single antimicrobial) tables. Presenting susceptibility data in this fashion, although of value, does have limitations relative to drug resistant subpopulations. As the crisis of antimicrobial drug-resistance continues to escalate globally, clinicians need (1) to have access to susceptibility data that, for isolates resistant to first-line … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreased Production of Nitric Oxide Contributes to Renal Oxidative Stress in Endotoxemic RatBahar Tunçtan, Belma Korkmaz, Hatice Yıldırım et al.Overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leads to oxidative stress and decreased total antioxidant capacity, which is responsible for high mortality from several diseases such as endotoxic shock. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) during endotoxemia is the major cause of vascular hyporeactivity, hypotension and multiple organ failure. In this study, we investigated whether increased production … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Probability Curves Obtained from 2 Quantitative Allergen-specific IgE Assays: FEIA and 3gAllergyTMT. M. Li, T. Chuang, S. M. Li, D. Hovanec-BurnsThe validity and benefit of probability curves in allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) testing and their applicability to more than a few allergens are still pending. One study[1] presented probability curves for 4 food allergens and proposed decision points to rule out the need for food challenges in his clinic. Since then, such cutoffs were reported by Boyano-Martinez[2] to be dependent on … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergetic Aspects Related to Heavy Metals Adsorption on the Surface of Volcanic Tuff I. The Influence of Activation Parameters in Cu2+ AdsorptionLeonard Mihaly-Cozmuta, Teodor Visan, Anca Mihaly-Cozmuta et al.The article develops some physico-chemical aspects presented along of copper ions adsorption in treatment of wastewaters using volcanic tuff. In the experiments volcanic tuff from Stoiana Pâglişa (Romania) has been used. Different concentrations of NaCl and HCl solutions were used for activation of tuff. The increase of activation solutions' concentrations indicates an intensification of specific adsorption of copper as consequence … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction, Yield and Derivatives of Volatile Oils from Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus Virginiana L.)Elif Semen, Salim HizirogluEastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) is one of the most widely distributed indigenous conifers in southern states including Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Eastern redcedar is also an important source of the volatile oils. This specie adversely influences the environment resulting in degrading grassland, displacement of native plant population and increasing wildlife hazard. Range-grown eastern redcedar has a poor quality. However, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,760 accessesView PDFCite
