Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractREMEDIAL EFFECTS OF VITAMIN E AND L-ARGININE ON PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IN STREPTOZOTOCIN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATSIsmaeel Bin-Jaliah, Samah El-Attar, Eman F. Khaleel et al.It was shown that hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is the main factor of diabetic peripheral neuropathies. Various pathways related to oxidative stress, vascular defect and defective endothelium dependent relaxation have been implicated in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A substantial number of studies have shown that antioxidant treatment are promising therapeutics that can prevent or correct reduced motor nerve … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHORIA EHANCEMENT OF NUCLEAR REACTOR SAFETYBarbara Szpunar, Jerzy SzpunarThe recent nuclear accident in Fukushima demonstrates that a nuclear mishap should be viewed using interdisciplinary tools. For example, the urania fuel melts not only because of enhanced neutron flux but also because its thermal conductivity degrades when it oxidizes. Here we present the application of first principles calculations to evaluate the structural, mechanical and thermal properties of traditional urania … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,632 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 7,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying a Just-in-Time Integrated Supply Chain Model with Inventory and Waste Reduction ConsiderationsLi-Hsing Ho, Wei-Feng KaoJust-In-Time (JIT) has been playing an important role in supply chain environments. Countless firms have been applying JIT in production to gain and maintain a competitive advantage. This study introduces an innovative model which integrates inventory and quality assurance in a JIT supply chain. This approach assumes that manufacturing will produce some defective items and those products will not influence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 4 Jul 2013 · 6,990 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of UGT1A9 Genetic Polymorphisms between Chinese Han and Tibetan PopulationsWei Yan, Jian Cui, Yuewen Wang et al.Although various polymorphisms have been identified in the UGT1A9 gene in the main sorts of ethnic groups in the world, no investigations have been focused on the Chinese Tibetan populations and the comparison between Chinese Tibetan and Han populations to date. This study was designed to systematically compare genetic differences between the two populations. We investigated the functional regions of … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 23 Aug 2012 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishing an Adaptive Production-Procurement System with Markov Chain Approach Associated with 3C TheoryChun-Ta LinProblem statement: In this study, we classify the imperfect situations that the unreliability of production and the defective products might be incurred from production process into eight independently recurrent categories. Approach: With the property of recurrence of Markov chain, the limiting probability of each imperfect production category can be calculated through the transition probabilities matrix generated from these imperfect production … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Contractor Perception Towers Industrialised Building System Risk in Construction Projects in MalaysiaSalihudin Hassim, Mohd Saleh Jaafar, Saiful Azri Abu Hasan SazalliThe use of IBS (Industrialised Building System) has attracted a lot of countries like Singapore, Sweden, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom. This system can replace the conventional building system which is labour oriented. However, since the first project of IBS in year 1964 till today, IBS in Malaysia is not well accepted by the construction parties because of failure … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCo-expression of Apoptosis-Related Molecules on Activated CD8+ CD38+ T-cells is Associated with HIV-1 Disease ProgressionJosé W. Rodríguez, Luis A. Rodríguez, Griselle Font et al.CD8+ T cells play a major role in controlling HIV-1 infection through the release of soluble lytic and non-lytic antiviral factors. Their decrease or defective function contributes to the HIV-1 disease progression. HIV-1 disease progression has been associated with a remarkable increase of CD38 expression on CD8+ T-cells. It has been also documented that a significant distribution of HIV-specific CD8+T-cells … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeparin-PF4 Antibodies in Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia: Its Relationship with FcgRIIa PolymorphismMeganathan Kannan, Firdos Ahmad, Sarfraz Ahmad et al.We did the pilot study, in an attempt to determine the prevalence of HIT in Indians and determine its relationship, if any, to FcγRIIa polymorphism, the occurrence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) was investigated in 33 Indian patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery (CVS) who received unfractionated heparin (UFH). Platelet counts were performed prior to the initiation of UFH therapy and 5-16 days, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Vision-Based Approach to Real-Time Trust Evaluation within Multiagent SystemsAlan Kruger, Sun YiAs robotic autonomy increases, single-agent systems are evolving into more complex multiagent systems that require more factors for successful implementation. In exchange for this complexity, applications such as autonomous delivery services and reconnaissance swarms become possible when they are infeasible with only one agent. By incorporating Trust into the multiagent system, the complexity of the agent-to-agent relationships can be managed … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2025 · 7,937 accessesView PDFCite
