Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonoclonal Antibody-Based Therapeutics for Melioidosis and GlandersHyung-Yong Kim, Alexander Stojadinovic, Peter J. Weina et al.Problem statement: Burkholderia Pseudomallei (BP) and B. Mallei (BM) were two closely related pathogenic gram-negative bacteria. They were the causative agents of melioidosis and glanders, respectively and are recognized by CDC as category B select agents. Significant efforts had been devoted to developing the diagnostic and therapeutic measures against these two pathogens. Monoclonal antibody-based therapeutic was a promising targeted therapy … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 23 Dec 2011 · 8,982 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreen Methodologies to Test Hydrocarbon ReservoirsFrancesca Verga, Vera RoccaProblem statement: The definition and the economic viability of the best development strategy of a hydrocarbon reservoir mainly depend on the quantity and type of fluids and on the well productivity. Well testing, consisting in producing hydrocarbon to the surface while measuring the pressure variations induced in the reservoir, has been used for decades to determine the fluid nature and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis and Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Emission Mitigation Options in the Cement IndustryMohammed Ba-Shammakh, Hernane Caruso, Ali Elkamel et al.The cement industry is responsible for approximately 5% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions emitting nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000 kg of cement produced. Effective control strategies to mitigate these emissions are discussed and a mathematical programming model able to suggest the best cost effective strategy is outlined. Control costs consisting of operating and investment costs along … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,394 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Production Planning of Electricity from Coal-Fired Power Plant Networks under Environmental ConsiderationsHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiIn this study, electricity production from a network of coal power plants and under environmental constraints is considered. Several pollutants are incorporated into the decision planning process including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and mercury (Hg). A Nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model was first developed to assist in the evaluation process. An exact linearization of the nonconvex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrototyping Rule-Based Expert Systems with the Aid of Model TransformationsAlexander Yurievich Yurin, Nikita Olegovich Dorodnykh, Olga Anatolievna Nikolaychuk, Maksim Andreevich GrishenkoThe problem of improving efficiency of intelligence systems engineering remains a relevant topic of scientific research. One of the trends in this area is the use of the principles of cognitive (visual) modelling and design as well as approaches based on generative programming and model transformations. This paper aims to describe the implementation and application of model transformations for prototyping … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 3 Apr 2018 · 8,154 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractReal-Time Automatic Inspection System for the Classification of PCB Flux DefectsAng Teoh Ong, Aouache Mustapha, Zulkifilie Bin Ibrahim et al.Automatic inspection based on a real-time machine vision system may serve as substitute for the manual human visual inspection of flux defects in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), which often cause damage on the board in the form of corrosions that harm the assembly. The concept of automatic inspection contributes to the improvement of the manufacturing quality of PCBs and facilitates … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Aug 2015 · 8,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormesis and Exercise: How the Cell Copes with Oxidative StressLi Li Ji, Zsolt Radak, Sataro GotoContraction-induced production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been shown to cause oxidative stress to skeletal muscle, heart and other organs. As an adaptive response, muscle antioxidant defense systems are upregulated in response to exercise to restore intracellular prooxidantantioxidant homeostasis. Thus, both young and old animals and humans involved in regular exercise have shown reduced oxidative damage during acute … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunopathogenesis of Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverHuan-Yao Lei, Kao-Jean Huang, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue virus infection causes Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) whose pathogeneses were not clearly understood. A new hypothesis of immunopathogenesis is proposed for the development of the DHF/DSS. An aberrant immune over-activation after dengue virus infection not only impair the immune response to clear the virus, but also result in overproduction of cytokines … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 14,773 accessesView PDFCite
