Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGamma Irradiation Synthesis and Influence the Optical and Thermal Properties of Cadmium Sulfide (CdS)/Poly (Vinyl Pyrolidone) NanocompositesShawkat Salameh Gasaymeh, Shahidan Radiman, Lee Yook Heng, Elias SaionProblem statement: Gamma irradiation has been successfully used to prepare a spherical cadmium sulfide CdS/Poly Vinylpyrolidone (PVP) quantum dots nanoparticles with enhancement of their optical band gap energy and thermal properties at room temperature and under ambient pressure. Sodium thiosulfate was used as a sulfur source in an aqueous solution. The formation of lower band gap energy of CdS/PVP nanoparticles … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 8,465 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characteristics and Pathogenicity of Synchytrium psophocarpi (Rac.) Baumann Associated With False Rust on Winged BeanAbdollah Karami, Zainal Abidin Mior Ahmad, Kamaruzaman SijamProblem statement: Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.) is an important tropical legume in countries like Malaysia due to its potential as a high protein value crop. However, bright-orange pustules observed on the veins of young leaves, stems, pods and sepals depict symptoms of false rust disease on beans. The causal agent of this disease has been found to be Synchytrium … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 9,581 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Permanent Deformation of Pavement's Unbounded Layers Based on Cyclic Triaxial TestsB. ŽlenderThis research presents an analytical model for determining permanent deformation of pavement's sub-grade and unbound granular base and sub-base material due to cyclic traffic loading. The model is given for interpreting results of repeated load triaxial tests. It considers long term elastoplastic behavior and resilient behavior of sub-grade and unbound granular material. Permanent deformations are expressed as a function of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,127 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFat Body Cells of Gynes and Queens of Four Species of Fungus Growing Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Attini); Relationship with the VitellogenesisG. C. Roma, M. I. Camargo-Mathias, O. C. BuenoThe morphometric analysis of fat body cells of gynes of Cyphomyrmex rimosus and Mycetarotes parallelus and queens of Acromyrmex disciger and Atta laevigata revealed significant differences in area of parietal and perivisceral trophocytes in all studied species. This was also observed for parietal and perivisceral oenocytes. No differences, however, were observed when the areas of oenocytes of gynes are compared. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,783 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting the Geometry of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis in Chrysosporium Tropicum and Fusarium OxysporumNamita Soni, Soam PrakashProblem statement: Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using fungal cells is a novel approach to develop biotechnological possess such as bioleaching and bioremediation. In the present study, an effort was made to investigate the effect of physio-chemical parameters on the silver nanoparticle formation with the fungus Chrysosporium tropicum Carmichael and Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. Approach: The possibilities to manipulating the geometry of silver … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Jan 2012 · 19,459 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural Evidences of Hepatitis B Infection in Human Liver Biopsies Disclose Complex Assembly and Morphogenesis Pathways for Hepatitis B VirusViviana Falcon, Ivon Menéndez, Nelson Acosta-Rivero et al.Despite of recent advances on acknowledge of hepatitis B virus (HBV) structure and biology, little is known about the morphogenesis and release of virions. In this study, the ultrastructural analysis of HBV components in liver biopsies from chronically HBV-infected patients disclosed complex assembly and morphogenesis pathways for HBV. HBV core (HBcAg) and surface (HBsAg) antigens were specifically identified in all … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,094 accessesView PDF Cite
