Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEthanolic Extract of Leaves of Newbouldia laevis Attenuates Glycosylation of Hemoglobin and Lipid Peroxidation in Diabetic RatsKolawole O. Timothy, Akanji M. Adewumi, Awe O. Emmanuel, Akiibinu M. OlayemiDiabetes is one of the major health problems around the world and the incidence of this metabolic disorder is on the increase. Current therapeutic interventions have not done much in preventing complications of diabetes. Therefore this study investigated the effect of ethanolic extract of Newbouldia laevis leaves (NLet) on lipid peroxidation and glycosylation of hemoglobin, which are pathological indicators of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2013 · 8,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSalinomycin Toxicosis in Broiler Breeders and Turkeys: Report of the First CaseKonstantinos C. Koutoulis, George Kefalas, Evangelos MinosThe objective of this study was to describe two clinical cases of toxicosis by accidental administration of salinomycin in feed in broiler breeders and turkeys. In the first clinical case, a 32000 broiler breeders flock, 30 weeks of age, suffered a severe mortality during the first week, a sharp decrease in egg production and a dramatic reduction in food consumption … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2013 · 8,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Days After Anthesis of Developing Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Fruit from Blossom-End Changes in ColorTiznado-Hernández Martín Ernesto, Delia Moreno-Velázquez, Angel Javier Ojeda-Contreras, Andrés Ochoa-MezaThe development of mathematical models to predict the physiological status of a developing fruit can be a useful tool to reduce the variation in fruit response to postharvest treatments. The objective of this study was to develop a mathematical model to predict Days After Anthesis (DAA) in tomato fruit from changes in the blossom end color. Around 160 tomato flowers … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 8,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInflation and Financial Development: EvidenceEmmanuel Nii AbbeyThe study examined the impact of inflation on financial development in Ghana using quarterly time series data (1990-2008). It was in line with the empirical works that provided support for the proposition that inflation affects financial development negatively. While price stability has been emphasized in the literature to be the best antidote in addressing the problem, recent evidence of disagreements … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2013 · 7,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Continuous Vaginal Logger-Based Temperature Monitoring in Fever-Induced GiltsMariana Schmidt, Christian Ammon, Peter Schon et al.The aim of this study was to identify a low risk method to induce fever in gilts and to evaluate vaginal sensors for temperature monitoring. Therefore, a rhinitis atrophicans vaccine was used to induce fever to evaluate sensors and behavioral patterns. During 11 trials, two of four animals were injected with 2 mL of the vaccine Porcilis AR-T DF (Intervet) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2013 · 7,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring the Operating Efficiency of Solar Cell Companies in Taiwan with Data Envelopment AnalysisJui-Min HsiaoThis study discusses the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach to measure the operating efficiency of solar cell companies. With active and constructive advancement of the government, competition in the solar cell industry became even tenser. When drawing up the competitive strategies, one firm should identify the key indicators of its operating efficiency. This study incorporates three inputs (the number of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 7 Nov 2012 · 6,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCTLA-4 Gene Polymorphism in Relation to Thyroid Disorders in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Under Interferon Alpha TherapySalwa M. Abo El-Khair, Abd El-Hameed A. Metwali, Mohamed Abd El-Maksoud, Tarek BesheerThyroid autoimmunity and dysfunction have reported as side effects of interferon-α treatment. The CT60 and exon 1+49 A/G polymorphisms in the Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene have linked to susceptibility to autoimmune disease. The aim of this research was to analyze the frequencies of CTLA-4 CT60 and +49 A/G polymorphisms and evaluate both polymorphisms as indicators of thyroid disorder … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Analysis of How the Electrical Training Center Site is Affected by Air PollutionBassam A. Al-HelouThe study has come to the result that the monitoring site at the Electrical Training Centre (ETC) at Al-Hashimyeh town is exposed to grave pollution that goes beyond Jordanian standards of the ambient air. It has, indeed, shown that Sulfur dioxide (SO2) exceeds the limits and its seasonal concentration matches forward with the average wind speed. SO2 concentration reaches its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 3 Sep 2012 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Echocardiography as a Diagnostic Tool for Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)Davida Kamara, Kwaku Gyenai, Tuoyu Geng et al.Our understanding of the etiology of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), which affects about 5% of turkeys, is limited. This limitation may be due to the lack of an easy-to-use diagnostic tool with well-defined parameters and does not involve necropsy. This lack of a widely tested non-necropsy method makes it difficult for a large-scale study of the genetic factors that underlie DCM. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2012 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Implications of Teacher Effectiveness Requirements for Initial Teacher Education ReformS. G.
