Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysiochemical Properties of Sago Starch Modified by Acid Treatment in AlcoholP.H. Yiu, S.L. Loh, A. Rajan et al.Sago starch is usually chemically modified to overcome and improve the unstable properties of native sago starch during processing. In this study, sago starch was treated in hydrochloric acid in the presence of methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol at 450C for 1 hour. Granule size, granular structure and solubility of the modified starch were investigated. Results showed that recovery yields of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntisocial Psychopathy and HIV Risk among Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Abusing Adolescent OffendersRobert M.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiscrete to Continuous Algorithm for Optimal Channel Selection to Detect Alcoholism through EEG RecordingsHayat Sedrati, Wajih Rhalem et al.Alcoholism is a serious public health issue, and early diagnosis of this brain disease can be performed by analyzing Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, the high dimensionality of EEG datasets requires significant computational time and resources for the automatic processing of EEG signals. This study proposes a novel method to reduce EEG dataset dimensionality using a Discrete to Continuous algorithm (DtC) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2023 · 5,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRoad Safety When Drivers Use Alcohol and Marijuana: Confounded Poisson Distribution Helps to UnderstandRamalingam Shanmugam, Ram Tripathi, Karan SinghSelf-admitted users of alcohol and/or marijuana while driving haunt road safety regulating agencies in general and community groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in particular. Motivated by such data in a survey, by 6,612 drivers above 18 years old in USA during years 2013-2015, we thought of interpreting how the road safety is in the scenarios.
