Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Induction of Lycopene in Germinating Cottonseed with 2-(4-Methylphenoxy) Triethylamine (MPTA)Lorraine S. Puckhaber, Jinggao LiuAbstract: Problem Statement: Increasing carotenoids content in foods was currently of great interest. The present paper reports strong stimulatory effect of MPTA on the carotenogenesis in cotton, which was used as a model. Approach: Cotton seedlings were treated with MPTA vs. water and germinated in the dark. The levels of carotenoids were determined by HPLC and the expression levels of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Jul 2011 · 7,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCerebrospinal 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 · 8,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDensity Functional Theory Based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Study of 2,5-Bis(1-Aziridinyl)-p-Benzoquinones with Lymphoid LeukemiaBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. EliasProblem statement: QSAR techniques increase the probability of success and reduce time and coast in drug discovery process. The study presented QSAR investigation on 32 bioactive aziridinylbenzoquinones that have activity against lymphoid leukemia. Approach: Molecular descriptors, molecular weight, total energy, hardness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, HOMO and LUMO energies were calculated. Initial geometry optimizations were carried out with the AM1 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
