Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractHepatitis B-Related Mononeuritis MultiplexBudha Charan Singh, Vinay N Gowda, Prasan Kumar PandaHepatitisB Virus (HBV) infection can present with varied multisystem manifestationsinvolving the skin, kidneys, blood, and nervous system. We report a 57-year-oldman with HBV-related mononeuritis multiplex who had symptoms of multiplesensory-motor axonal polyneuropathies. He was evaluated for his neuropathy withnerve conduction studies and a sural nerve biopsy that revealed necrotizingsmall-vessel vasculitis. He also hadan acute liver injury. He was started on … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2022 · 5,726 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Clothing Insulation for Thermal Comfort: A Numerical Study using Bio-Heat Transfer ModelKabita Luitel, Dil Bahadur Gurung, Harihar Khanal, Kedar Nath UpretyClothing plays a major role in protecting the human body from cold and hot environment by working as an insulator. The physical factors such as conduction, convection, radiation, evaporation and the physiological factors such as blood flow and metabolism within the body together with clothing system help to maintain human thermal comfort and the human thermoregulatory system. On the other … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2020 · 8,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractREMEDIAL EFFECTS OF VITAMIN E AND L-ARGININE ON PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IN STREPTOZOTOCIN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATSIsmaeel Bin-Jaliah, Samah El-Attar, Eman F. Khaleel et al.It was shown that hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is the main factor of diabetic peripheral neuropathies. Various pathways related to oxidative stress, vascular defect and defective endothelium dependent relaxation have been implicated in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A substantial number of studies have shown that antioxidant treatment are promising therapeutics that can prevent or correct reduced motor nerve … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 8,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Evaluation of a Low-Density Biomass Feeding System for Fluidized Bed GasifiersA. E. Ghaly, A. Ergudenler, S. Alsuhaibani, V. V. RamakrishnanFor efficient operation of a biomass gasifier, the biomass material must be fed continuously to the system. A feeding system for chopped straw and rice husk was designed, constructed and evaluated. It consisted of: a frame, a hopper, an auger, two agitators, a drive system and a power unit. Initial testing showed that wheat straw and rice husk, being highly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 7 Nov 2013 · 8,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Inference System Based Power Factor Correction of Three Phase Diode Rectifier Using Field Programable Gate ArraySundar Rajan Giri Thulasiraman, Christober Asir RajanThis study describes a novel method in improving the input current total harmonic distortion as well as power factor of a three-phase diode rectifier circuit. In this method, three bidirectional switches comprising MOSFET and four diodes are used across the three-phase supply and load. In a three-phase rectifier only two diodes conduct at any given time. As a result, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model Predicting the Critical Heat Flux of Nuclear ReactorsChien-Hsiung Lee, Lih-Wu Hourng, Kuo-Wei LinBoiling heat transfer system keeps a nuclear power plant safe without getting over-heated. Crisis will occur if the dissipated heat flux exceeds the critical heat flux value. This study assumes the flow boiling system at high heat flux is characterized by the existence of a very thin liquid layer, known as the &#34sublayer&#34, which is trapped between the heated surface … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 12 Dec 2012 · 7,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation and Implementation of Quasi Resonant DC-DC ConverterP. Parvathy, N. DevarajanProblem statement: A half-bridge LLC resonant converter with a voltage doubler rectifier has a simple structure and its Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) capability is excellent from zero to full load condition. But conduction loss is more due to high circulating energy thus reducing the system efficiency. Moreover a variable frequency control method makes the control circuits more complicated than those using the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 29 Aug 2012 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite

There explains various properties … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 12 Aug 2011 · 7,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantum Mechanical Calculation of the Optical Absorption of Silver and Gold Nanoparticles by Density Functional TheoryElham Gharibshahi, Elias SaionProblem statement: Metal nanoparticles confine the motion of conduction electrons and exhibit a strong optical absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the UV-vis-NIR region. The absorption is classically derived from the collective oscillations of free electrons in a metallic nanostructure as a consequence of incident electromagnetic radiation polarizing the particle optically embedded in a dielectric matrix. These oscillations, known as the … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 16,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of ZnO on Dielectric Properties and Electrical Conductivity of Ternary Zinc Magnesium Phosphate GlassesS. F. Khor, Z. A. Talib, H. A.A. Sidek et al.Five different compositions of the ternary system (ZnO)x(MgO)30(P2O5)70-x containing 8, 10, 13, 15 and 18 moL% of ZnO were prepared by the melt quenching technique.
