Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Latrophilin-2 is Expressed in the Cytotrophoblast and Syncytiotrophoblast of Placenta and in Endothelial CellsGunda Herberth, Anke Stein, Jens Glienke et al.Latrophilin-2 is a member of the family of adhesion-GPCRs that is characterised by a long N-terminus which contains motifs identified in proteins involved in cell adhesion. We were interested in determining the expression pattern of human latrophilin-2 and to perform a biochemical characterisation of this protein. The expression pattern of latrophilin-2 was analysed in human organs, tissues and cell lines. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 8,053 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 abstractReview of Pasteurella Multocida Infections over a Twelve-Year Period in a Tertiary Care HospitalAthanasia Christidou, Sofia Maraki, Zoe Gitti, Yiannis TselentisThe aim of this study was to present the epidemiological, clinical and microbiological data, as well as the management and the outcome of 13 patients with documented Pasteurella multocida infections, diagnosed in the University hospital of Crete, Greece, between 1993 and 2004. Most patients (62%) were >70 years of age. Respiratory tract infections were most commonly encountered (61.5%), followed by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,996 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Slope Assessment System in Predicting Landslides along Roads Underlain by Granitic FormationBujang B.K. Huat, S. JamaludinA slope assessment is to estimate the probability of occurrence and likely severity of landslides in a given area. This study evaluates two existing Slope Assessment Systems (SAS) for predicting landslide at the micro level of assessment developed by the Public Works Department of Malaysia, namely the Slope Information Management System (SIMS) and the Slope Management and Risk Tracking System … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method to Estimate Intrinsic Parameters in the Ping-pong Bisustrate Kinetic: Application to the Oxipolymerization of PhenolJosé L. Gómez, Antonio Bódalo, Elisa Gómez et al.A new method for determining the intrinsic parameters of reaction in processes involving a high initial rate has been developed. The usefulness of this alternative, which consists of determining several sets of apparent parameters at different times and then extrapolating these to time zero, is demonstrated proved by the linear dependence obtained between the apparent parameters and the reaction time. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPDX-1 and MafA: Key Transcription Factors in PancreasHideaki Kaneto, Takeshi Miyatsuka, Yoshihisa Nakatani, Taka-aki MatsuokaPancreatic and duodenal homeobox factor-1 (PDX-1) plays a crucial role in pancreas development, β-cell differentiation and in maintaining normal β-cell function by regulating several β-cell-related genes including insulin. PDX-1 has potency to induce insulin-producing cells in non β-cells in various tissues such as pancreas and liver and PDX-1-VP16 fusion protein more efficiently induces insulin-producing cells, especially in the presence of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Reversible Method of Epiphysiodesis-An Experimental Study in RabbitsMahmood Karimi-Mobarakeh, Reza Malekpour-Afshar, Nozar Nakhaee et al.Lower limb discrepancy and angular deformities are among the most common orthopedic problems in pediatrics. All methods for correction of these deformities are irreversible and the epiphyseal growth plate is arrested. Current study describes a new reversible method of epiphysiodesis. At the first step, we decided to examine angular deformity of the knee. Seven New Zealand white female rabbits with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model of 4-Quadrant DC Electric Drive with 6-Pulse Dual ConverterKosmas ZdrozisMathematical model simulating the operation of DC electric drive hoisting mechanism has been developed. The study illustrates the capabilities of the developed model for investigation both normal and abnormal modes of operation of the converter and the supplying voltage. Large attention was given to the thyristor converter and its firing system so that fast-proceed micro-processes occurring in the converter can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical and Biological Warfare: Should Rapid Detection Techniques Be Researched To Dissuade Usage? A ReviewMark R. Hurst, Ebtisam WilkinsChemistry, microbiology and genetic engineering have opened new doorways for the human race to propel itself to a better future. However, there is a darker side to Bioengineering. One element of this is the manufacture and proliferation of biological and chemical weapons. It is clearly in the interest of humankind to prevent the future use of such weapons of mass … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Analysis of a Smart Multi Purpose Electronic Nose SystemMahmoud Z. Iskandarani, Nidal F. ShilbayehAn electronic nose system for multi application purposes is designed and tested. Our hardware design allows various types of sensors to be used for different applications.
