Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Chlamydophila abortus in Sheep (Ovis aries) in MexicoJuan Manuel Jiménez-Estrada, Marcos R. Escobedo-Guerra, Gabriel Arteaga-Troncoso et al.Chlamydophila abortus is one of the pathogens which induce abortion in small ruminants; this pathogen has a tropism for ruminant placenta and causes the disease commonly referred to as Ovine Enzootic Abortion (OEA). In Europe are estimated economic losses of around 20 million pounds a year by OEA. In the American Continent the disease has been reported only in Canada, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Double Layer Grids' Maximum Deflection Using Neural NetworksReza Kamyab Moghadas, Kok Keong ChoongEfficient neural networks models are trained to predict the maximum deflection of two-way on two-way grids with variable geometrical parameters (span and height) as well as cross-sectional areas of the element groups. Backpropagation (BP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks are employed for the mentioned purpose. The inputs of the neural networks are the length of the spans, L, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeatures in Tubercular Meningoencephalitis Diagnosis: 18 Childhood CasesP. Di Carlo, D. Cabibi, A. Casuccio et al.The aim of this research is to illustrate clinical and instrumental features of central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) in childhood in order to allow prompt diagnosis and adequate patient management. TB remains one of the most important communicable diseases and represents a major global health problem. Although pulmonary TB tends to be the most common form of the disease, the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasonographic Evaluation of Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation on the Repair of Severed Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon in HorsesDavood Sharifi, Dauod Kazemi, Abbas VeshkiniProblem statement: The main aim was to clinical assessment of the ultrasonographic changes of transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation after inducing injury in the SDFT in horses. Approach: Using 8 adults’ castrated horses having 350-550 Kgbw with 4-6 years of age. The left hind limb and right fore-limb Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon (SDFT) were splitted longitudinally at mid metatarsal and metacarpal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRed-Cell Trace Minerals in Children with AutismJoan Jory, Woody R. McGinnisAbnormalities in mineral-dependent antioxidant enzymes in children with autism raise interest in the determination of trace mineral status in this population. A cross sectional investigation of red cell mineral levels was carried out among 20 children with autism and 15 controls. Children with autism demonstrated significantly lower red cell selenium (p<0.0006) and higher molybdenum (p<0.01) than the controls. There was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,874 accessesView PDFCite

This cross-sectional study was performed on 493 randomly selected medical students and hospital … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClosed Die Forging Geometrical Parameters Optimization for Al-MMCM. Jolgaf, S.B. Sulaiman, M.K.A Ariffin, A.A. FaiezaDemand for lighter and stiffer products has been increasing in the last few years especially in automobile manufacturing. The closed die forging process of Metal Matrix Material (MMC) is presented as possible solution, since it produces parts with good mechanical properties and lighter weight. A computational modeling of closed die forging process using finite element method and optimization techniques makes … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCo-expression of Apoptosis-Related Molecules on Activated CD8+ CD38+ T-cells is Associated with HIV-1 Disease ProgressionJosé W. Rodríguez, Luis A. Rodríguez, Griselle Font et al.CD8+ T cells play a major role in controlling HIV-1 infection through the release of soluble lytic and non-lytic antiviral factors. Their decrease or defective function contributes to the HIV-1 disease progression. HIV-1 disease progression has been associated with a remarkable increase of CD38 expression on CD8+ T-cells. It has been also documented that a significant distribution of HIV-specific CD8+T-cells … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Carcass Weight and Muscle on Texture, Structure, Rheological Properties and Myofibre Characteristics of Roe DeerJoanna Żochowska-Kujawska, Kazimierz Lachowicz, Małgorzata Sobczak, Leszek GajowieckiMyofibre characteristic, texture, structure and rheological properties of selected muscles (BF, SM and L) of roe deer of different carcass weight were compared. Muscle texture and rheological properties was determined with the TPA and relaxation test, respectively, performed with a Instron 1140 device. Fibre type percentage and structural elements (muscle fibre cross sectional area and perimysium thickness) were measured in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,579 accessesView PDFCite
