Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Examination of Factor Structure of the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale in a Non-Clinical Persian SamplePaul Slater, Brendan Bunting, Felicity Hasson et al.The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale is an internationally used assessment tool for anxiety level however its acceptable factor structure remains fluid. The aim of this paper is to examine the psychometric properties and establish normative anxiety prevalence rates with a Persian randomized sample. A cross sectional survey was distributed to a randomised sample of adults (n = 1260) in the … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 May 2019 · 9,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Shear Lag Factor in Long Structures with Pipeline System in Tubes under Wind LoadReza Salehi, Alireza KhalooThe type of lateral load capacity systems is one of the major challenges of structural engineers in implementing and designing high-rise structures. One type of common system is a pipe system in which the type of pipe in the classified pipe exhibits good behavior under wind and earthquake loading conditions. One of the issues that researchers have been studying over … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Environmental and Socio-Economic Risk Factors of Climate Vulnerability in Low-Income Settlements of Kitwe City in ZambiaGeorge Kasali, Julius Kanyembo, Mapenzi Phiri, Mainza SibajeneRecent findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have clearly shown that climate change represents an urgent and irreversible threat to human societies and the planet and especially to the social and economic development of Africa.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine and identify the risk factors associated with climate vulnerability in selected slum settlements of Kitwe … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2017 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTaxation of End Consumption: Effect on Country Economies and its CharacteristicsRavil Gabdullaevich Akhmadeev, Mikhail Evgenievich Kosov, Olga Alekseevna Bykanova et al.International experience of the largest countries' economies of the last decade demonstrates that the use of Value Added Tax (VAT) in taxation of consumption is used more actively and is gradually squeezing out the sales tax. In most countries of the world VAT ensures between 12 and 30% of stable budget revenues. Taking statistical data selected with the help of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2017 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCarica papaya Fruit Attenuates Apoptotic Degeneration After Permanent Cerebral Ischemia RatPratchaya KaewkaenApoptotic neurodegeneration is a phenomenon following cerebral ischemia. Both the increased caspase-3 and decreased Bcl-2 expression are reported to play crucial role on apoptosis in neuron. In addition, phytonutrient can successfully increase the endogenous antioxidant and lower the apoptotic responses. Therefore, anti-apoptotic effect of Carica papaya fruits was examined. To the best of our knowledge, no scientific effect was available. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2018 · 9,790 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Industrial Pollution on the Spatial Variation of Surface Water QualityIslam Mir Sujaul, Mohammed Amjed Hossain, Mohamad Ali Nasly, Md Abdus SobahanSurface water quality deterioration is the impact of anthropogenic activities at the study areas due to rapid industrialization. The study was done to know the spatial variation of the water quality of the Tunggak River and surrounding area because of industrial activities. In-situ parameters and ex-situ data of chemical, bio-chemical parameters and heavy metals were collected monthly to fulfill the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2013 · 8,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrofacies and Sedimentary Environments of Gurpi and Pabdeh Formations in Southwest of IranMohammad BahramiProblem statement: The Upper Cretaceous Gurpi and lower Tertiary Pabdeh formations as units of folded Zagros Zone were studied in three different regions (Tang-e-Abolhiat, Tang-e-Zanjiran and Maharloo) in Fars Province, Iran. Approach: Gurpi formation consisted of thin to medium sized layers of gray marl and marlstone interbedded with thin layers of argillaceous limestone and shale. The dominant microfacies in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Plasticity- Induced Fatigue Crack Closure with Singular ElementR. Rahgozar, H. Saffari, R. TabatabaeiDeveloping a new method is presented to compute crack opening values in planar geometries using the crack surface nodal force distribution under minimum loading as determined from finite element analyses (FEM). In this technique, two-dimensional elastic-perfectly plastic finite element analyses of middle-crack tension (MT) geometry is conducted to study fatigue crack closure and to calculate the crack opening values under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution of Biomicrofacies and Cement Types in the Changxing Formation (Upper Permian), Western Hubei-eastern Sichuan Provinces, South ChinaMutwakil Nafi, Xia WenchenThe Changxing formation is subdivided into lower, middle and upper parts. Four types of microfacies were recognized in the Changxing formation. They include SMF-3, SMF-6, SMF-7 and SMF-19. The Changxing Formation is composed of deep basin margin, platform margin and open restricted platform environments. The lower, middle and upper parts are dominated by deep basin margin facies, platform margin facies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
