Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPetrophysical Characterization and Flow Models for Agbada Reservoirs, Onshore Niger Delta, NigeriaPrince Suka Momta, John Owate Etu-Efeotor, Charles Ugwu UgwuezeThree selected reservoirs (XB, XC and XE) from three wells (A, B and C) occurring within the Agbada producing sands in part of the Greater Ughelli Depobelt of the onshore Niger Delta have been studied. The study aims at evaluating the petrophysical characteristics of the sand-bodies and also identifies the various flow units present within each reservoir. Petrophysical parameters were … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 21 Oct 2015 · 7,910 accessesView PDF Cite

Yungay variety. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors three replications and seven treatments was used. Minitat 17 statistical software, ANOVA, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 24 Jul 2024 · 6,143 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnthelmintic Treatment in Growing Cattle: A Preliminary Study on the Effect of Ricobendazole on the Fecal MicrobiomePablo Rovira, Pablo LorenzoThere is limited information on the impact that anthelmintic treatments exert on the fecal microbiome of growing cattle. This study characterizes the composition and metabolic function of the cattle gut microbiome associated with different levels of parasite Fecal Egg Counts (FEC) and characterizes the fecal microbiome before and after ricobendazole-treatment. The hypothesis was that FEC levels and ricobendazole treatment (8 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2022 · 6,340 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Vitamin A and E Forms Influence Differently the Plasma Vitamin Concentrations in Newly Received CalvesLorenzo Buenabad, Alberto Barreras, Alejandro Plascencia, Richard Avery ZinnTen Holstein steer calves (105±3 kg) were used to evaluate bioavailability of two Vitamin A or E forms, “natural” (EA1) or “synthetic” (EA2), based on plasma vitamin concentrations during a 3-d period post injection(subcutaneous). Plasma retinyl palmitate and plasma Vitamin A concentration (retinol equivalent of all forms) was greater 24 and 48 h (P<0.01) post injection of retinyl palmitate vs … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 31 May 2021 · 6,798 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Heuristic Approach Toward Innovative Tire Re-Design Through Advanced TechnologiesRamundo Fulvio Enzo, Fedele LorenzoIn the field of mobility and road transport, tires are components of a vehicle that play a decisive role in active safety. Monitoring tire conditions can affect different areas: Transport safety, optimization of cycles and maintenance costs and environmental protection. In fact, the tire wear check, possibly through the evaluation of the Remainig Useful Life (RUL), allows to meet many … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 22 Aug 2020 · 7,459 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFDIR Strategy for Sensor Faults During Re-entry FlightGianfranco Morani, Mariangela Di LorenzoIn this study, a Fault Detection, Isolation and Reconfiguration (FDIR) strategy is proposed for dealing with the problem of single sensor faults during a re-entry flight. The proposed algorithms rely on a model based Fault Detection and Isolation. After the generation of a residual through a Kalman filter observer, detection is obtained via the estimation of residual signal statistics while … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2018 · 8,690 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOverview of Certification Methodologies for Sustainable Constructions of Brazilian BuildingsVanessa Silva Pugliero, Lorenzo Campos Coiado, Lia Lorena Pimentel et al.The terms “sustainable” and “environmentally-friendly” have been used in the construction industry field as a marketing appeal. The methodology to judge in which level a building is sustainable in Brazil is incipient, without orientation and hardly ever there is a diffusion of these methods inside Brazilian territory. Almost all developed countries have their appropriate certification methodology for sustainable constructions. Some … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 25 May 2015 · 6,915 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffects of Gc-Macrophage Activating Factor in Human Neurons; Implications for Treatment of Chronic Fatigue SyndromeRodney Smith, Lynda Thyer, Emma Ward et al.Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease of multifactorial aetiology characterized by immune system dysfunction, widespread inflammation, multisystemic neuropathology and persistent pain. Given the central role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of the syndrome, we studied the effects of a potent modulator of the immune system in in vitro and in vivo models that could help … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2013 · 10,982 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Effect of S-Nitroso-N-Acetylpenicillamine and S-Nitroso-Captopril Co-Administered with Cysteine on Blood Glucose Concentration in an Animal ModelSacha Campbell, Ruby Alexander-Lindo, Tara Dasgupta et al.The study sought to test the hypothesis that co-administration of SNAP and cysteine or CapSNO and cysteine in normoglycaemic rats may further reduce glucose tolerance. An oral glucose tolerance was carried out and the plasma nitrite concentrations were measured and taken as the biochemical markers of in vivo NO formation. The results showed blood glucose levels were significantly elevated at … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,221 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNeuroprotection Afforded by GABA Against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation-Induced Injury in Rat Cortical Brain Slices: An Hormetic Dose-Response EffectLorenzo Ricci, Massimo Valoti, Giampietro Sgaragli, Maria FrosiniThe aim of the present investigation was to assess neuroprotection exerted by GABA (100 nM-100 mM) in rat cortical brain slices subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation. Neuronal injury and neuroprotection were assessed by measuring the release of glutamate and lactate dehydrogenase and tissue water content. Results demonstrate that GABA exerted neuroprotective effects according to a U-shaped, hormetic-like, concentration-response curve, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,166 accessesView PDF Cite
