Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Levan by Bacillus licheniformis for Use as a Soil Sealant in Earthen Manure Storage StructuresAbdel E. Ghaly, F. Arab, N.S. Mahmoud, J. HigginsManure application is not permitted on frozen land in Canada and therefore, manure management and storage are the primary issues facing the agri-food industry. Low-cost, effective and environmentally safe earthen manure storage (EMS) facilities will lower costs and help make the livestock industry more competitive and efficient. The goal of this study was to develop a biological sealing technology for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Methodology to Segment the Text for Index TermsMuhammad Shoaib, Abad Ali ShahThe problem of information overload is a hot issue with the growth of the world wide web. The need for the tools those should be able to absorb this huge information and eliminate this problem is evident especially for IR systems. Text is not a simple sequence of words but carries a structure. It is essential to handle these uncontrollable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,691 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Feasibility Study of Challenges and Opportunities in Computational Biology: A Malaysian PerspectiveR. J.A. Richard, N. SriraamThe term computational biology refers to the knowledge derived from a computer analysis of biological data that includes identification of genes in DNA sequence of different organisms, prediction of structural and functional mechanism of proteins, feature extraction and classification of genomics and proteomics. Computational biology is a rapidly developing branch of science and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and Concepts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Tradeoffs in Herbicide Resistant Brassica rapa: Effects on Pollen and Ovule Production, Biomass and DevelopmentRobin Bingham, Pamela King, Andrew G. KeckFor decades, herbicides have been used to control weeds and increase crop yields, a practice resulting in a growing number of weeds that are herbicide resistant. Like the problem of antibiotic resistance for medicine, herbicide resistant weeds present a significant agricultural challenge. To meet this challenge, we need management strategies informed by a more complete understanding of the biology of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 20 Jan 2017 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMULTI-TRAITS OF NON-PATHOGENIC FLUORESCENT PSEUDOMONAS AND EVALUATION OF THEIR POTENTIEL AS BIOCONTROL AGENTSMehri Inès, Turki Yousra, Ben Rajeb Asma et al.In recent years, certain strains of fluorescent pseudomonads called PGPB have drawn attention due to their abilities to promote plant growth. Therefore, in this investigation, we have explored the adhesive properties, the phytostimulator effects and the biocontrol activities of 40 isolates, with the aim to select potential inoculants to improve crop yields. Ten different colony morphotypes were detected on CRA … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Polymer Seed Coating with Micronutrients on Soybeans in Southeastern Coastal PlainsPawel WiatrakPolymer seed coating with micronutrients may affect soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) growth and yields under dryland conditions. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of two seed application rates (265 and 395 mL 100 kg seeds-1) of polymer based mixture of Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn) micronutrients on dryland soybeans near Blackville, SC from … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2013 · 8,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Process Conditions for the Production of Holocellulase by a Bacillus Species Isolated from Nahoon Beach SedimentsEvelyn N. Fatokun, Uchechukwu U. Nwodo, Ademola O. Olaniran, Anthony I. OkohProduction of holocellulase by a newly isolated marine Bacillus species via submerged fermentation technique at varying cultivation conditions was investigated. Enzyme production was optimized by altering one variable per time. Moreover effect of lignocellulosic saccharides in inducing cellulase and xylanase production was also investigated. The 16S ribosomal Deoxyribonucleic Acid (16S rDNA) gene sequence analysis exhibited 98% sequence similarity of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2017 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Note on the Renovation of Social Enterprise in Korea: Current Status and Future ProspectsSeok Yoon, Yoon-Doo KimSocial enterprise activities in Korea began after 1998. Korea was facing the IMF Financial Crisis which yielded growing unemployment and slow economic growth. The government, therefore, carried out the Social Job Creation Project for the unemployed on a trial basis as ways to provide jobs to the vulnerable. Since 2004, it has become a government-wide project. Moreover in 2007, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 30 May 2016 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Phosphorus Application with Avail on Following Soybeans in Southeastern Coastal PlainsPawel WiatrakApplication of Phosphorus (P) in combination of with polymer Avail to previous crop may affect soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] under dryland conditions.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Treg Cells in the Cancer Immunological ResponseZhi-Zhang Yang, Stephen M. AnsellProblem statement: T cell-mediated immunosuppression has been observed for decades without clarification as to which factor was responsible for this observation. The identification of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells represents a milestone in the filed of immunology and provides an explanation for T-cell-mediated immunosuppression. Although Treg cells were originally identified for their ability to prevent organ-specific autoimmune disease in mice, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,518 accessesView PDFCite
