Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simple Approach for Building Cooling Load EstimationF. A. Ansari, A. S. Mokhtar, K. A. Abbas, N. M. AdamThe present work is to demonstrate how some very simple problems are made mathematically complex and seemingly tedious due to academic or business compulsions. There are some problems in which mathematical model are developed after making many simplifying assumptions. But, when it comes to solving these models, very sophisticated and complex schemes are applied. For such problems, dual policy does … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarly Cellular Responses of Purine Nucleoside-mediated Protection of Hypoxia-induced Injuries of Neuronal PC12 CellsBettina Tomaselli, Valerie Podhraski, Günther Böck, Gabriele Baier-BitterlichHypoxia in brain may lead to cell death by apoptosis and necrosis. In parallel adenosine, a powerful endogenous neuroprotectant is formed. We wanted to investigate the effect of adenosine and its purine nucleoside relatives, inosine and guanosine on early cellular responses to hypoxia. O2-sensitive neuronal PC12-cells were subjected to chemical hypoxia induced with rotenone, an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Latrophilin-2 is Expressed in the Cytotrophoblast and Syncytiotrophoblast of Placenta and in Endothelial CellsGunda Herberth, Anke Stein, Jens Glienke et al.Latrophilin-2 is a member of the family of adhesion-GPCRs that is characterised by a long N-terminus which contains motifs identified in proteins involved in cell adhesion. We were interested in determining the expression pattern of human latrophilin-2 and to perform a biochemical characterisation of this protein. The expression pattern of latrophilin-2 was analysed in human organs, tissues and cell lines. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 8,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPressure-sensitivity Effects on Toughness Measurements of Compact Tension Specimens for Strain-hardening SolidsAbdulhamid A. Al-AbduljabbarThe path-independent J-integral is used as a fracture prediction criterion for loading beyond the elastic limit as Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) cannot be applied. While J was originally defined from an energy perspective, it was demonstrated that it could be inferred from load-displacement diagrams. Therefore, the Compact Tension (CT) specimen testing is used to compute J for materials. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSewage Treatment Plant Sludge: A Source of Potential Microorganism for Citric Acid ProductionParveen Jamal, Md. Zahangir Alam, M. Ramlan et al.This research emphasizes on the utilization of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) sludge, which is an inexpensive and easily available raw material and a good source for growth of microorganisms because it has enough nutrients and trace elements. This can be considered as an alternative cost effective solution for waste management in addition to the production of a value added product … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 8,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntensity Position Modulation for Free-Space Laser Communication SystemF. Faghihi, A. JangjooIn this study a novel analog modulation-demodulation technique for free-space laser communication system called Intensity Position Modulation (IPM) is carried out. According to TEM00 mode of a laser beam and by linear fitting on the Gaussian function as an approximation, the variation of the linear part on the reverse biased pn photodiode produced various currents. Our simulated results show fine … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectrochemical Characteristics of Some Purpurins in Aqueous and Nonaqueous SolutionsFarouk A. Rashwan, Hossnia S. Mohran, Ahmed A. El-SamahyThe Electrochemical Impedance Technique (EIS) and the Cyclic Voltammetric method (CV) were used to investigate the behavior of purpurin (P), Anthrapurpurin (AP) and Benzopurpurin (BP) in aqueous and in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) media. In the CV experiments, both the radical and the dianion of these substances were assumed to form of limited stability due to chemical protonation. In case of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJob Satisfaction of University Woman Teachers in BangladeshSyed S. Alam, Mohammad Talha, C. N. Sivanand, Most N. AhsanThis study examines the relationships between job satisfaction, individual job facets, and socio-demographic variables in the public universities in Bangladesh. The research was conducted through mail survey. The sample consists of 500 teachers from two large universities in Bangladesh. Among the 500 questionnaires, 21 were returned, of the remaining 479 questionnaires, 232 usable responses were received, for a final response … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeb-based Digital Video Sequencing SystemKhalid A. KaabnehIn order to access and retrieve Internet shared videos, there is a clear need for structuring to decrease search and loading time. Video segmentation is the process of dividing a video clip into segments of similar characteristics. Based on our segmentation research, this study proposes a complete Digital Video Sequencing and retrieval tool, aimed for the Internet users. This ongoing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram-Derived Radial Decision Trees: An Innovative Approach to Susceptibility Data DisplayRocco J. Perla, Paul P. BelliveauHospital antibiograms (ABGMs) are often presented in the form of large 2-factor (single organism vs. single antimicrobial) tables. Presenting susceptibility data in this fashion, although of value, does have limitations relative to drug resistant subpopulations. As the crisis of antimicrobial drug-resistance continues to escalate globally, clinicians need (1) to have access to susceptibility data that, for isolates resistant to first-line … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,504 accessesView PDFCite
