Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuccessive Image Interpolation Using Lifting Scheme ApproachRohini S. Asamwar, Kishor Bhurchandi, A. S. GandhiProblem statement: Fast and accurate interpolation and resizing of images and video frames is a much sought after research area in multimedia applications. The more accurate schemes are computationally expensive and require more time for execution. We proposed here Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) using lifting scheme as an accurate and computationally inexpensive interpolation technique for image resizing. Approach: In this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,573 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Contribution of Traffic to Air Pollution in the State of KuwaitN. Al-Mutairi, P. KoushkiProblem statement: The reduction in ambient air pollution is a universal goal-particularly in urban areas, the lack of resources often necessitates identification and prioritization of sources of air pollutants. Efficient planning and effective management of environmental pollutants is thus important for optimum utilization of limited resources. Approach: This study examined seven years of data from three air pollution monitoring stations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,281 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Antidiabetic Efficacy of Combined Extracts from Two Continental Plants: Azadirachta indica (A. Juss) (Neem) and Vernonia amygdalina (Del.) (African Bitter Leaf)Patrick Ekong Ebong, Item Justin Atangwho, Eyong Ubana Eyong, Godwin Eneji EgbungPolyherbal therapy is said to be a current pharmacological principle having the advantage of producing maximum therapeutic efficacy with minimum side effects. We assessed the antidiabetic efficacy and hence the impact on biochemical indices of toxicity by a combination of extracts from neem and bitterleaf. Thirty rats, 25 diabetic and 5 non-diabetic rats, were used for the study. The diabetic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Aug 2008 · 14,400 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Intelligence and Application of Frame Theory in Communication SystemsRajupillai, K., S. Palaniammal, K. BommurajuIn this study, we have to discuss the reduction of noise due to peak amplitude and power ratio in multi carrier modulation scheme like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) process using Frame theory. The frame operator of the frame which is positive, self adjoint, invertible and it commutes with synthesis operator. If X is dual frame in H with frame … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2015 · 7,636 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpacts of Large-Scale Stormwater Green Infrastructure Implementation and Climate Variability on Receiving Water Response in the Salt Lake City AreaChris York, Erfan Goharian, Steven J. BurianThis study evaluated impacts of Green Infrastructure (GI) as a stormwater management practice on return flows and the further Implications of climate variability. The goal was to create a model to explore the impacts that bioretention and Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) representing GI had using goldsim and Stormwater Management Modeling (SWMM) software. The software was used to represent impacts that climate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 20 Oct 2015 · 9,269 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Recombinant Toxin Phospholipase D in Cardiac Muscle of RatsJoao Victor Capelli Peixoto, Fernando Augusto Lavezzo Dias, Carlos Estevan Nolf Damiani et al.Loxoceles spiders gender are worldwide spread and its bites can cause dermonecrosis or even a systemic effect (hemolysis, kidney and liver injury). It is believed that phospholipase D, the main component present in the venom, could be responsible for the injury. In this study, we used a recombinant form of phospholipase D (rLiD1) and evaluated its direct and systemic effects … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jun 2015 · 6,956 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effect of Galactomannan Extracted from Iraqi Lycium barbarum L. Fruits against Alloxan-Induced Diabetes in RatsAdnan J.M. Al-FartosyLycium barbarum L. (Solanaceae) is widely used in Iraqi Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The present investigation was done to evaluate the effects of polysaccharide (galactomannan) from Lycium barbarum L. Fruits (GLBF) on serum blood glucose, serum lipid profile and lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defence system in liver and kidney of alloxan-induced diabetic rats. GLBF was found … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 15 Dec 2014 · 7,653 accessesView PDF Cite
