Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA screen for Benzo(a)pyrene in Fish Samples From Crude Oil Polluted EnvironmentsChimezie Anyakora, Mohsen Arbabi, Herbert CokerSeveral studies have shown that exposure to Benzo(a)pyrene increases the risk of cancer. In this study several fish samples from Niger the Delta region of Nigeria were screened for the presence of Benzo(a)pyrene. The study was carried out using Gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometry detector. Benzo(a)pyrenes in the samples were identified through both retention time match with authentic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Corner Radii and Part Orientation on Stress Distribution of Cold Forging DieAhmad Baharuddin Abdullah, Kam Shwu Ling, Zahurin SamadOne of the most critical problems in cold forging is the huge stresses generated from the deformation of metal leads to die failure. The distribution of stresses mainly depends on geometry of the die. An approach to optimal design in cold forging die geometry and orientation are presented in this paper. The impression cold forging dies of the Universal joint … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,340 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of Hybrid Systems With Independent Continuous and Discrete GoalsM. De la Sen, J.C. Soto, A. Gallego, J.L. MalainaThis paper deals with the control of a class of perfectly modelled linear hybrid systems which consist of two, in general coupled, subsystems one being continuous -time while the second one is digital. Both subsystems are driven by continuous time and sampled values of a control input. The description of the overall system is given through an extended hybrid system … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn silico Modeling of α1A-Adrenoceptor: Interaction of its Normal and Mutated Active Sites with Noradrenaline as well as its Agonist and AntagonistRamchandran Vijayan, Naidu Subbarao, Birendra Nath MallickNoradrenaline, like most other neurotransmitters, acts through various adrenoceptor subtypes. The structure and active site of adrenoceptors for the binding of noradrenaline were unknown, however, such information are crucial for understanding the molecular mechanism of action of neurotransmitters, including noradrenaline, in health and disease as well as for drug designing. In this in silico study, we modeled the α1A-adrenoceptor; a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics Modelling of a Plate Vibrating in a Perfect FluidBouarroudj Nadra, Belaib LekhmissiWe deal with the interaction problem of a plate vibrating within a perfect fluid. We establish the equations describing the dynamics behaviour of the plate using the general equations of the elasto-dynamic. The fluid flow described by the equation of Euler’s low amplitude. We presented results of the existence, the unicity and the regularity of the problem verified by the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Monitoring Using Principal Component Analysis and Fuzzy Logic Application in Continuous Casting ProcessSalah Bouhouche, Malek Lahreche, Abdelkrim Moussaoui, Jürgen BastThis paper deals with non linear system monitoring, based on a combined use of Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and fuzzy logic to process and quality monitoring. PCA coupled to fuzzy logic was used to estimate the fault or defect according to the dynamic changes in the process inputs-outputs characterized by T2 Hoteling and Squared Prediction Error (SPE). Correlation between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Symmetrical Microstrip Bandpass Filter for S-Band Frequency RangeMohd Fadzil Ain, Mandeep Singh Jit Singh, Prabhu, Syed Idris Syed HassanA new type of microstrip bandpass filter is presented with a center frequency operation at 2.5GHz which lies in the S-band frequency range. The filter is designed to be much smaller compared to the same type of parallel-coupled bandpass filter. The simulation results are excellent and the filter is suitable for integration within various microwave subsystems. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Pathology of Alzheimer Disease Elicits an In Vivo Immunological ResponseDavid J. Bonda, Kate M. Webber, Sandra L. Siedlak et al.The mechanism(s) responsible for the loss of neurons that characterizes Alzheimer disease is incompletely understood. Nonetheless, there is considerable evidence suggestive of immune abnormalities coupled to alterations in blood-brain barrier permeability that likely play a key role in both the etiology and progression of the disease. To examine these issues further, this study was designed to examine the presence of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Physical Refining on Palm Vitamin E (Tocopherol, Tocotrienol and Tocomonoenol)Chiew Wei Puah, Yuen May Choo, Ah Ngan Ma, Cheng Hock ChuahThis study reports the effect of physical refining on palm vitamin E including α- tocopherol, α-, γ and α-tocotrienols as well as α- tocomonoenol. A method using HPLC with fluorescence detector using normal phase silica column is described. An isocratic elution with n-hexane/THF/2-propanol (1000:60:4, by vol.) as mobile phase was used. The structure of the α- tocomonoenol was determined using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Quantitative Assessment Model For Usability EngineeringHaidar S. Jabbar, T. V. Gopal, Sattar J. AboudMany different quantitative assessment models have been proposed to measure and report the usability of a general software product for various business and design purposes. However, there are several problems coupled with existing models that consequently bias and affect the process and results of the usability assessment. Moreover, they do not aid their usage by analysts who are not experienced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
