Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECT OF MICRONUTRIENTS-ENRICHED FERTILIZERS ON BASAL STEM ROT DISEASE INCIDENCE AND SEVERITY ON OIL PALM (ELAEIS GUINEENSIS JACQ.) SEEDLINGSFabien Fonguimgo Tengoua, Mohamed M. Hanafi, A. S. Idris et al.Basal stem rot caused by Ganoderma boninense constitutes a serious threat to oil palm industry in Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia and in Papua New Guinea and Pacific Islands. It is also expanding in some oil palm growing countries in Latin America and Africa and will soon become a worldwide concern to oil palm cultivation. To date, none … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 5 Dec 2014 · 8,014 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleESTIMATION OF WEIBULL PARAMETERS USING A RANDOMIZED NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE SEVERITY OF FIRE ACCIDENTSSoontorn Boonta, Anchalee Sattayatham, Pairote SattayathamIn this study, we applied Randomized Neighborhood Search (RNS) to estimate the Weibull parameters to determine the severity of fire accidents; the data were provided by the Thai Reinsurance Public Co., Ltd. We compared this technique with other frequently-used techniques: the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), the Method of Moments (MOM), the Least Squares Method (LSM) and the weighted least squares … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Impact of Helicobacter Pylori Infection on Lung Function and Severity of Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness in Subjects with Allergic AsthmaJordan B. Minov, Jovanka Karadzinska-Bislimovska, Kristin Vasilevska et al.Problem statement: There is evidence that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection may modify immune response and decrease the risk of asthma and other allergic diseases, as well. Approach: To assess the impact of H. pylori infection on lung function parameters and severity of Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in subjects with allergic asthma. A cross-sectional study including 38 H. pylori positive subjects … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Feb 2012 · 7,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePredicting the Severity of Breast Masses with Ensemble of Bayesian ClassifiersAlaa M. ElsayadProblem statement: This study evaluated two different Bayesian classifiers; tree augmented Naive Bayes and Markov blanket estimation networks in order to build an ensemble model for prediction the severity of breast masses. The objective of the proposed algorithm was to help physicians in their decisions to perform a breast biopsy on a suspicious lesion seen in a mammogram image or … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBayesian Methods for Ranking the Severity of Apnea among PatientsNur Zakiah Mohd Saat, Kamarulzaman Ibrahim, Abdul Aziz JemainProblem statement: Studies on apnea patients are often carried out based on data obtained from the sleep study. This data is quite scarce since high cost is required for conducting the study. Bayesian method is particularly suitable for analyzing limited data as it allows for updating of information by combining the current information with the prior belief. Approach: In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,550 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolecular Evidence for the Association of a Strain of Uganda Variant of East African Cassava Mosaic Virus to Symptom Severity in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Fields in TogoK. D. Adjata, E. Muller, M. Peterschmitt et al.Problem statement: This study was carried out to demonstrate that the severity of Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) in Togo, is not only influenced by synergism between cassava Begomoviruses in presence, but essentially by recombination between the different Begomoviruses infecting cassava. Approach: Foliar samples presenting typical biological features of Begomoviruses infection were collected from cassava and wild infected plants from different … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the Severity of Mitral Valvular Regurgitation with Doppler Echocardiography Using Proximal Flow Convergence MethodPinjari Abdul Khayum, M.N. Giriprasad, P.V. SrideviProblem statement: Valvular regurgitation is recognized as the central cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though the clinician can detect the presence of regurgitation by mere physical examination; diagnostic methods become inevitable while estimating the severity of valvular regurgitation and in the transformation of cardiac chambers as in reaction to the volume overload condition. Lately, a promising new technology, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCorrelation of IFN-Inducible Protein 10 Levels in Sera with Disease Severity and Clinical Outcome of the Dengue PatientsYing-Ray Lee, Nguyen-Thanh Hung, Ching-Chuan Liu et al.Dengue Virus (DV) infection may cause life-threatening Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Although many cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of DHF/DSS have been reported, the expression status of IFN-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) in dengue patients is still unknown. This is the first report to unravel that IP-10 level was significantly elevated in the sera of Dengue Fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleESTIMATING LOSS SEVERITY DISTRIBUTION: CONVOLUTION APPROACHRo J. PakFinancial loss can be classified into two types such as expected loss and unexpected loss. A current definition seeks to separate two losses from a total loss. In this article, however, we redefine a total loss as the sum of expected and unexpended losses; then the distribution of loss can be considered as the convolution of the distributions of both … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 2 May 2014 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleASSOCIATION OF TESTOSTERONE AND CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IN MODULATION OF IMMUNITY AND SEVERITY OF DISEASE IN VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS PATIENTS-A PRELIMINARY STUDYKrishna Pandey, Dharmendra Singh, Sanjiva Bimal et al.Males are more prone to Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) as compared to females. The role of androgens in host defence against Leishmania and other pathogens is of considerable interest. This study was aimed to understand a baseline mechanistic understanding of the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis with respect to testosterone. We examined the relationship between serum testosterone and cholesterol levels, antigen induced … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
