Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProfit Analysis of A Two Unit Cold Standby System with Preventive Maintenance and Random Change in UnitsKhaled M. EL-Said, Mohamed S. EL-SherbenyThis study discusses the reliability of two units cold standby system with single repair. For achieving high reliability of the system, the operative and the standby units are interchanged at random epochs and additional preventive maintenance of operative and the standby units also. After the repair, the unit is sent for inspection to decide whether the repair is satisfactory. In … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach for Authentication TechniqueAlaa H. Al-Hamami, Saad A. Al-AniOne of the serious problems is how to authenticate the passport document for its holder. The major factor of this authenticity is the corresponding of the Passport's photo with its holder. Most of the Passport document contains a holder's signature in addition, of course, to the full name. We propose a firm authentication method by extracting some features for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteraction of a C-terminal Truncated Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein with Plasmid DNA Vaccine Leads to in vitro Assembly of Heterogeneous Virus-like ParticlesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Joanna Poutou, Alexis Mussachio et al.Recently, it has been shown that HCV core proteins (HCcAg) with C-terminal deletions assemble in vitro into virus-like particles (VLPs) in the presence of structured RNA molecules. Results presented in this work showed that a truncated HCcAg variant covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120) with a 32 aa N-terminal fusion peptide (6xHistag-XpressTMepitope) interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine. Interestingly, the buoyant … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidences of Hepatitis C Virus Replication in Hepatocytes and Peripheral Blood Monocuclear Cells from Patients Negative for Viral RNA in SerumViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.In this study, we examined the expression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) components in hepatocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients positive for anti-HCV antibodies and negative for serum HCV-RNA. The samples obtained from 25 randomly selected patients (13 of 25 patients showed no histological evidences of chronic hepatitis and had normal serum ALAT and GGTP levels) were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,164 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of 50 HZ Magnetic Field on Some Factors of Immune System in the Male Guinea PigsH. Sedghi, S. Zare, H. Hayatgeibi et al.This study investigated the bio-effects of 50 Hz MF exposure on some Immunological factors (ACTH, cortisol and glucose levels) in male Guinea pigs. The capacity of 50 Hz Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) to interfere in the weakness of endocrine system has been a relevant fact into the scientific community, since we are more susceptible for this kind of exposure, in modern … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Verification of Folk Medicinal Potentiality of Wild Dicot Aquatic Plants in JordanS. Al-Qura'nThis study describes a floristic study of Jordan with its environs. The study was carried out during 2001-2003 and 287 aquatic dicot samples were collected and photographed in the field. After the identification of the specimens, the total wild aquatic dicot species have been determined as 87 species belonging to 59 genera and 33 plant families were presented in investigated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethyltert-butyl Ether (MTBE) Degradation by a Microbial ConsortiumS. B. Mortazavi, A. Nikpey, A. Rezaee et al.Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is added to reformulated gasoline to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act directives. Widespread use of MTBE in gasoline has resulted in groundwater contamination. Because of its undesirable effects on drinking water and ecologically harmful effects, MTBE removal has become a public health and environmental concern. In this study, we have isolated a mixed bacterial culture … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of the Ozonation Pre-treatment for Biodegradation of Aqueous Solutions of Methyltert-Butyl EtherM. Sadeghi, A. Mesdaghinia, A. Badkoubi et al.The effectiveness of ozone treatment for improving the biodegradability of recalcitrant pollutants has been proved by investigating the ozonation reaction of Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) a bioresistant gasoline oxygenate. Laboratory scale experiments have been carried out, at room temperature, by bubbling, for 120 min, ozonated air (3.4 ppm min-1 ) into 3 liter of an alkaline (pH=11.5) aqueous solution (100 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of a New, Rapid, Amperometric Immunosensor for the Detection of Low Concentrations of Bacteria Part II: Optimization of the System for Escherichia coliEric Carnes, Ebtisam WilkinsThe optimization of a flow-through immunoassay system was conducted to achieve rapid detection of low concentrations of E. coli bacteria. The system includes a new immunosensor that uses newly developed, disposable immunofiltration membranes to yield a system that is sensitive as well as simple. Comparison of the performance of this system with conventional immunoassays demonstrated a significantly shorter time for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
