Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCPI-1189 Protects Against Dextran Sulfate Sodium-induced Colitis in MiceBeverley Greenwood-Van Meerveld, Karl R. TylerNitrone-related therapeutics (NRTs) represent a new class of small molecules potentially effective in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by protecting cells from damage caused by excess inflammation and/or oxidative stress. The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy and potency of CPI-1189, a novel therapeutic agent, in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Mice received … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,713 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics of Effective Dynamics and its Use in Developing the Product Quality and Proceeds in Inclusively FirmNasir Al KloubControlling product size type and quality is a set of technical, technological, organizational and preparatory procedures correlated in one process. Indexes for the demand for product in foreign and local markets vary according to its quality, and consequently technological processes should guarantee and warrant protects of subtle qualities and quality indexes. Securing quality of the product in all industrial sectors … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutonomic Middleware Services for Just-In-Time Grid Services ProvisioningWail M. Omar, A. Taleb-Bendiab, Yasir KaramThe advent of widespread distributed computing environment, such as information systems and computational grids computing has enabled a new generation of applications that are based on seamless access, aggregation and interaction. The dramatic side of the story is a strong presence of the plea that those decentralized Grids are potentially affected by a number of primitives derived from their anatomy, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation Between Circulating Early Endothelial Progenitors and CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells: A Possible Cross-talk between Immunity and Angiogenesis?Shmuel Schwartzenberg, Adi Mor, Galia Luboshits et al.Regulatory T-cells (Treg) are a recently defined subset of CD4+ cells that can suppress inflammation and induce tolerance. Phenotypically, T-regs are characterized by a high level of expression of the IL-2 receptor alpha chain, CD25. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can transform into mature endothelial cells and promote vessel formation by inducing postnatal angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Herein, we tested the hypothesis … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarly Cellular Responses of Purine Nucleoside-mediated Protection of Hypoxia-induced Injuries of Neuronal PC12 CellsBettina Tomaselli, Valerie Podhraski, Günther Böck, Gabriele Baier-BitterlichHypoxia in brain may lead to cell death by apoptosis and necrosis. In parallel adenosine, a powerful endogenous neuroprotectant is formed. We wanted to investigate the effect of adenosine and its purine nucleoside relatives, inosine and guanosine on early cellular responses to hypoxia. O2-sensitive neuronal PC12-cells were subjected to chemical hypoxia induced with rotenone, an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,853 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Crosslinker and Monomer to the Polymerization of Polymethacrylamide Gel Dosimeters by Direct and Indirect MethodsElias Saion, A. H. Shaari, M. Z.A. Rahman et al.Radiation-induced polymerization in Polymethacrylamide Gels (PMAAGs) potentially used for 3D dose verification in radiotherapy has been studied using both Raman spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) method. The dosimeters are composed of aqueous Methacrylamide (MAA) monomer and N, N’ methyelene-bis-acrylamide (BIS) crosslinker at various concentrations from 2 to 6% (w/w) and gelatin at 6% (w/w). The dosimeters were irradiated to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlterations of HDL Subclasses in Different Lipid Levels of Men and WomenYuye Yang, Luchuan Yang, Mingde Fu et al.With the increase of plasma TG level, both in men and women, apoA-I concentrations of preβ1-HDL and HDL3a were significantly higher while HDL2a and HDL2b were significantly lower. Similarly, with the increase of plasma LDL-C level, apoA-Iconcentrations of preβ1-HDL, HDL3c(in men) and HDL3b were significantly higher while apoA-Iconcentrations of HDL2b were significantly lower. And with the decrease of plasma HDL-C, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Industrial Development Policies, Plans and Programs of Strategic Environmental Assessment in the Industrial Sector of IranJ. Nouri, B. Maghsoudlou KamaliThe present investigation deals with the quality of capacity building and institutional strengthening of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in the industrial sector as well as determining the environmental strategies for industrial sustainable development in Iran. The leading aim of this paper has been to systematize the environmental considerations in industrial development strategies, policies, plans and programs in the highest strategic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of the Correcting Gains of Fractional Order Hold Devices for Inter-sample Output ReconstructionM. D.L. Sen, A. BilbaoThe design of Fractional Order Holds (FROH) of correcting gains β ∈ [-1, 1] (potentially and possibly including zero-order holds, ZOH with β = 0, and firelation holds, FROH relating) is discussed related to achieving output deviations being close with respect to its sampled values. A squared error time- integral between the current output and its sampled values is minimized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite
