Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Factors for Bacteremia and Predictors of Mortality of Patients with Bloodstream Infection with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusElcio Bakowski, Sérgio Barsantini Wey, Eduardo Alexandrino Servolo MedeirosThe objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of infection and the risk factors associated to bacteraemia and mortality due to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). This cohort study, conducted from August 2004 through November 2005, involved 60 consecutively identified patients with bloodstream MRSA infection. The control group included 240 non-infected patients, randomly selected and hospitalized on the day, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMachine Motion Equations Presented in a New General FormatNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuConsidering the increased importance of robots nowadays, when no large factory or factory can work without robots, we want to present in the work the motion equations of the machine in an original form, both in terms of aspect and their deduction. The machine's motion equations can be used in dynamic calculations at any type of machine, whether it be … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 22 May 2019 · 6,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLumbricus rubellus Protein Fraction DLBS1033N Increases Nerve Growth Factor Expression via Tyrosine Kinase ActivationAgung Heru Karsono, Raymond Rubianto Tjandrawinata, Maggy Thenawidjaja SuhartonoNerve injury occurred due to mechanical, thermal, chemical, or ischemic factors. Nerve regeneration is needed for recovery. Schwann cell proliferation and differentiation are important factors in the nerve regeneration process. Schwann cells release neurotrophins in the nerve regeneration process. In this study, Lumbricus rubellus protein fraction DLBS1033N was used as therapeutic protein candidate for nerve regeneration treatments. DLBS1033N treatments promoted … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2018 · 9,410 accessesView PDFCite

The number of wearable electronic devices available in today’s electronics market including smart watches, activity trackers, helmets and smart clothing seems to grow substantially. In fact, this technology is recognized as one of the hottest trends and one of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2015 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameter Calibration of Soil in the Poyang Lake Region Based on Discrete Element MethodBaoyu Zhu, Jun’an Liu, Xiongfei Chen et al.In order to obtain the soil parameters of Poyang Lake Region before direct seeding, the soil properties of Duchang County, Poyang County and Xinjian District recollected and the discrete element method model is established. The angle of repose of paddy soil is 53.00° tested by the lateral wall collapse method. Eleven parameters are used to establish EDEM simulation model with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2020 · 6,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of the Climatic Factors on the Decay of Marbles: an Experimental StudyPaola Marini, Rossana BellopedeStone decay is affected by the influence of climatic factors. In particular marble degradation, that could be expressed by decohesion and /or bowing, is mainly due to the action of temperature and water (rains and relative humidity). In this work non destructive and destructive tests have been performed to evaluate the decay of marble slabs subjected both to natural exposition … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTOCHASTIC REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF A STANDBY SYSTEMMohammed A. HajeehMechanical systems deteriorate over time and do not perform according to their intended functions and eventually fail due to the failure of one or more their components or units. Failed components are either repaired or replaced depending of several factors such as cost, criticality, or reliability. Repair is perfect, minimal, or imperfect. This study assesses the performance of a standby … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2014 · 6,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPORE-PRESSURE PREDICTION FROM SEIMIC DATA IN PARTS OF THE ONSHORE NIGER DELTA SEDIMENTARY BASINEmujakporue Omokenu GodwinPore pressure prediction in parts of the Onshore Niger Delta Sedimentary Basin using seismic reflection data has been carried out. The Bower’s technique of velocity-to-pore pressure transform was adopted. The seismic velocities were derived from the seismic data using layer cake velocity model and were later compared with the available sonic logs velocities obtained from the area. Parameters in the … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2014 · 7,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevention and Prophylaxis of Tick Bites and Tick-Borne Related DiseasesLara Garcia-Alvarez, Ana Maria Palomar, Jose Antonio OteoTicks are obligate haematophagous arthropods present all over the world able to produce human diseases. Several factors have increased the abundance, circulation and distribution of the pathogens transmitted by ticks, contributing to the change in the vector-borne diseases epidemiology in the last years. This review collects the most important measures for the prevention and prophylaxis of tick-borne diseases. The pre-exposition … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 5 Nov 2013 · 7,694 accessesView PDFCite
