Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOperational Fault Diagnosis in Industrial Hydraulic Systems Through Modeling The Internal Leakage of its ComponentsP. Athanasatos, D. Koulocheris, T. Costopoulos, K. RaptisIn this study, a model of a high pressure hydraulic system was developed using the bond graph method to investigate the effect of the internal leakage of its main components (pump, cylinder and 4/2 way valve) on the operational characteristics of the system under various loads. All the main aspects of the hydraulic circuit (like the internal leakages, the compressibility … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 7 Nov 2013 · 7,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOCHEMICAL, NUTRIENT AND INHIBITORY CHARACTERISTICS OF STREPTOMYCES CULTURED FROM A HYPERSALINE ESTUARY, THE LAGUNA MADRE (TEXAS)Luis E. Espinoza, Anita L. Davelos Baines, Kristine L. LoweStreptomyces are common soil bacteria that produce secondary metabolites, including several antibiotics; however, the characteristics of marine Streptomyces are largely unknown. Sediment samples were taken from 3 sites in the Laguna Madre to isolate marine Streptomyces. Sediment was diluted, spread onto synthetic seawater media to estimate the total bacterial density of the samples and spread onto starch casein agar to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2013 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Gaussian Process Regression Model for the Traveling Salesman ProblemWanatchapong Kongkaew, Juta PichitlamkenProblem statement: Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a famous NP hard problem. Many approaches have been proposed up to date for solving TSP. We consider a TSP tour as a dependent variable and its corresponding distance as an independent variable. If a predictive function can be formulated from arbitrary sample tours, the optimal tour may be predicted from this function. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 30 Aug 2012 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of an Oral Health-Promoting Program in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Children: A 7-year Longitudinal StudyNathalia Ferraz Oliscovicz, Gloria Fernanda Barbosa de Araújo Castro, Luciana Pomarico, Ivete Pomarico Ribeiro de SouzaProblem statement: Children infected with HIV have a higher prevalence of caries in both dentitions. With that in mind, it is important the introduction of programmes for the control of caries disease in this population. Thus, this study was aimed to assess the efficacy of an oral health-promoting program in controlling caries in HIV-infected children after 7 years of follow-up. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jul 2012 · 7,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Progranulin Gene Expression as a Molecular Biomarker for Bladder CancerSalwa M. Abo El-khair, Mie A. Mohamed, Tamer E. AlkhiaryBladder cancer is the second most common cancer of the urinary system. Early diagnosis of this tumor and estimation of risk of future progression has a significant impact on prognosis. Although there are several molecular markers for the diagnosis and prognosis for this tumor, their accuracy is not ideal. Progranulin is a growth factor that may play a critical role … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConfidence Interval for Cpm Based on Dp,q DistanceBahram Sadeghpour Gildeh, Samaneh AsghariProblem statement: A measurement control system ensures that measuring equipment and measurement processes are fit for their intended use and its importance in achieving product quality objectives. Approach: The manufacturing industries have been making an extensive effort to implement Statistical Process Control (SPC) in their plants and supply bases. Results: Capability indices derived from SPC have received increasing usage not … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2012 · 7,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of Covering Arrays and Their Application to Software TestingBestoun S. Ahmed, Kamal Z. ZamliProblem statement: As a complex logic system, software may suffer from different source of faults. Those faults can be avoided by applying different testing processes. It appears recently that the interaction among the system factors represents a common source of faults. Software function properly, all input factors and their interactions of the software need to be tested i.e., exhaustive testing. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 23 Jul 2011 · 8,713 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Ferritin for Differentiation of Aseptic and Bacterial Meningitis in AdultsZhinous Bayat Makoo, Nagmeh Ahadi, Akbar Hasani et al.Problem statement: Bacterial meningitis is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity. Rapid diagnosis of bacterial cause is very important and critical, because early antibiotic therapy prevents complications; different tests have been developed for rapid diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. One of them is CSF ferritin, which is evaluated in this study. Approach: During cross sectional study from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Coagulation Process for Low to High Turbidity Waters Using Aluminum and Iron SaltsAkbar Baghvand, Ali Daryabeigi Zand, Nasser Mehrdadi, Abdolreza KarbassiProblem statement: Turbid waters, containing colloidal particles, are normally treated by coagulation-flocculation followed by clarification. Ferric chloride and alum, which are the most common types of coagulants in water treatment plants of Iran as well as many other countries, were investigated with the aim of determining their capabilities to reduce turbidity of drinking water. Turbidity was added as kaolin. Optimization … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 21,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Escherichia coli Isolates from Commercial Layer Hens with SalpingitisMahmood Salehi, Reza GhanbarpourProblem statement: Escherichia coli isolates are the most common bacterial agents of salpingitis in commercial layer hens.
