Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study on the Reproductive Performance of South African Indigenous Sheep Breeds Following Oestrus SynchronizationJabulani Nkululeko Ngcobo, Tshimangadzo Lucky Nedambale, Tlou Caswell Chokoe, Fhulufhelo Vincent RamukhithiThe aim of the study was to compare the effect of age and live body weight on the oestrus response, duration, pregnancy rate and lambing rate among South African indigenous sheep breeds (Zulu sheep = 36, Bapedi sheep = 26, Damara sheep = 10 and Namaqua Afrikaner sheep = 9). Control Intravaginal Drug Release Dispensers (CIDR’s) were inserted into the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2022 · 7,862 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDDoS Attack Detection Using Enhanced Neural Network Algorithm in Software-Defined NetworksHema Surendrakumar Dhadhal, Paresh P KotakWith the uncommon advancement of technology and networking, the world today is totally relying on it. The most obvious drawback of this technical progress resulted in several possible dangers. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one in which a large number of compromised systems work together to prevent service from being provided to the targeted system. Consequently, to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 6 · 24 May 2023 · 5,721 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation into Information Security Threats from Insiders and how to Mitigate them: A Case Study of Zambian Public SectorMelissa K. Chinyemba, Jackson PhiriInsider attacks are security breaches posed by an existing or former organizational stakeholder with unrestricted access rights to the resources who, with or without intent, compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of organizational data. Zambian public organizations are vulnerable to insider attacks due to a number of factors that include; technology complexity, understaffing, financial gains, lack of security policies and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 29 Oct 2018 · 8,249 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduced Microcracking Affects Osteoblast Attachment on Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Tissue EngineeringIan O. Smith, Melissa J. Baumann, Eldon D. CaseBone microdamage caused by routine activity plays an important role in triggering targeted and nontargeted bone remodeling. Targeted remodeling occurs near localized areas of microdamage[1-4]. We hypothesize that bone remodeling may be directly and positively influenced by inducing microcracks in hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. A study by Case et al. showed microcracking in HA discs having >98% … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,557 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,737 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPACT OF DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE IN PREVENTION OF PARACETAMOL INDUCED NEPHROTOXICITY IN RATSAbbas O. ElkaribParacetamol (PCM) overdose can cause nephrotoxicity with oxidative stress as one of the possible mechanisms mediating the event. However, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), the major secretory product of the human adrenal gland, has been shown to possess a multi-targeted antioxidant activity which is also effective against lipid peroxidation induced in various animal models and against various human disorders. In this study, the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,566 accessesView PDF Cite
