Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRELATIONSHIPS AMONG INDICATORS OF FITNESS, FATNESS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN ADOLESCENTSRobert Malina, Stephen-Mark Cooper, John Young et al.In adults, fatness and low cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a higher prevalence of chronic disease risk and mortality. The association between measures of physical fitness and fatness upon cardiovascular risk in youth, however, is less clear. The effects of adiposity and physical fitness upon cardiovascular disease risk factors in youth are receiving increasing attention but studies that have examined … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2012 · 8,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccurate Determination of Nonlinear Refractive Index for Some Binary Glass SystemsElSayed MoustafaProblem statement: This study investigates the relation between the nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ(3)) and the ratio (α1/αo-2), then the nonlinear index determination for some binary glass systems. Recently suitable relationship between the oxidation polarizability and the nonlinear optical properties was established for simple oxides glasses. So in this study more attention and investigation is paid to the trend of that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Exercise Training on Adiponectin Receptor Expression and Insulin Resistance in Mice Fed a High Fat DietNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Nasr Arafat Belacy, Enas Mohammed Kasem, Mona Maher AllamProblem statement: Adiponectin is an adipocyte secreted hormones, exerts its effects via the specific receptors. AdipoR1 and adipoR2 and plays a pivotal role in lipid and glucose metabolism. Approach: We investigated the effect of increased physical activities on insulin resistance and if this effect is modulated through adiponectin receptor expression. Results: We also assessed the effect of High Fat Diet … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPresence and Origin of Fluoride in the Complex Terminal Water of Ouargla Basin (Northern Sahara of Algeria)Imed Eddine Nezli, Samia Achour, Mohamed Djidel, Saïd AttalahProblem statement: The underground waters in the oriental regions of the Algerian Sahara, present real chemical quality problems. Their content in fluorides always exceeds the limit of the recommended levels. That is 0.8 mg L-1, according to the maximum temperature in the region. Combined to a high salinity, it affects the health of the population living around the region. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVoltage Collapse Risk Associated to Under-Voltage Capacitive Compensation in Electric Power System OperationHeraldo Silveira Barbuy, Alexandre Rocco, Luiz Augusto Pereira Fernandes, Geraldo Caixeta GuimarãesProblem statement: In the operation of an Electric Power System (EPS), it has been usual to provide reactive power injection to avoid an under-voltage bus condition. In some situations an adequate voltage profile will not be a guarantee against Voltage Collapses (VCs) that may cause blackouts as seen in many occurrences around the world. The repeatedly injection of reactive power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistological Features and ki-67 Index In Cervical Atypical LesionsD. Cabibi, L. Giovannelli, M. Cacciatore et al.One of the most frequent challenges in routine diagnostic assessment of cervical biopsies consists of some lesions in which histological features of HPV infection are either inconsistently present or only mildly/focally evident. We named them Atypical Lesions (AL) because differential diagnosis with metaplastic/reactive lesions and LSIL is difficult. It would be important to identify among them those lesions that are … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuture Water Budgets and Water Supply Stress under Climate Change and Urbanization in the Upper Neuse River Basin, North Carolina, USAMichelle Tong Sun, Ge Sun, Chong Liu et al.Urbanization and climate change are the two major threats to watersheds and the environment in the United States. It is imperative to understand the sensitivity of hydrologic responses to climate and urbanization across different physiographic regions in order to formulate sound watershed management strategies and policies. This study evaluated a watershed water balance model, Water Supply Stress Index (WaSSI), with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2015 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExogenous Pyocyanin Alters Pseudomonas aeruginosa Susceptibility to CiprofloxacinGary D. Grant, Tian Tian Zhang, Lee S. Gloyne et al.This in vitro cell-based study identified the contributing role of pyocyanin in the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ciprofloxacin. Problem statement: P. aeruginosa is the major pathogen in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) lung with pyocyanin being a critical component of its virulence. Prevalence is high and, once acquired, chronic infection is difficult to eliminate. Ciprofloxacin remains a crucial oral agent … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChilling Injury in Mamey Sapote Fruit (Pouteria sapota): Biochemical and Physiological ResponsesGuillermo O. Pérez-Tello, Miguel Ángel Martínez-Téllez, Irasema Vargas-Arispuro, Gustavo A. González-AguilarProblem statement: Cold storage is needed in order to delay senescence and achieve a longer commercial life of tropical fruits like mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota), therefore, the physiological and biochemical responses of this fruit to cold storage were evaluated. Approach: Samples from different storage temperature (20, 10 and 2°C) were taken at five-day intervals and Chilling Injury Index (CII), decay … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,162 accessesView PDFCite
