Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Near Wake Flow Behind a Rectangular CylinderAbdollah Shadaram, Mahdi Azimi Fard, Noorallah RostamyThe turbulence characteristics of the near wake flow behind a rectangular cylinder is investigated in a two-dimensional analysis using a hot-wire anemometer. The time-averaged and fluctuating components of the velocity are measured for a cylinder having various width-to-height (b h-1) ratios. The measurements are carried out in a low-speed wind tunnel. Data from hot-wire anemometer is collected by a data … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Depth Estimation System for Laboratory Studies using Video ImageryAlec Torres, Rodolfo SilvaA simple video-based system has been developed for depth estimation based on wave propagation characteristics. A numerical simulation of a long-crested monochromatic wave propagating over a beach with straight and parallel contours is used for testing the depth inversion system. An oblique video, simulating field conditions, is recorded, digitized and rectified for its further analysis. Pixel intensity time series from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Control of the D-Policy M/G/1 Queueing System with Server BreakdownsKuo-Hsiung Wang, Ching-Chang Kuo, Jau-Chuan KeThis study deals with a single server in the D-policy M/G/1 queueing system in which the server is turned off at the end of each complete period and is activated again only when the cumulative completion times of the customers in the system exceeds a given level D. While the server is working, he is subject to breakdowns according to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormesis and Exercise: How the Cell Copes with Oxidative StressLi Li Ji, Zsolt Radak, Sataro GotoContraction-induced production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been shown to cause oxidative stress to skeletal muscle, heart and other organs. As an adaptive response, muscle antioxidant defense systems are upregulated in response to exercise to restore intracellular prooxidantantioxidant homeostasis. Thus, both young and old animals and humans involved in regular exercise have shown reduced oxidative damage during acute … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Pulsating Circular Hot Air Jet Frequencies on Local and Average Nusselt NumberRozli Zulkifli, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Shahrir Abdullah, Mohd Sobri TakriffThe study was carried out to determine the effect of pulsating frequencies on the local and average heat transfer characteristic of a heated circular air jet. The velocity profile of a heated circular pulsating air jet was measured in the first part of the study. The same set-up was used to measure the heat flux of the pulsating jet impinging … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Helium-Neon Laser Photostimulation on Excision Wound Healing in Wistar RatsB. S. Nayak, A. Maiya, P. KumarThe importance of laser photostimulation is now accepted generally but the laser light facilitates wound healing and tissue repair remains poorly understood. So we have examined the hypothesis that the laser photo stimulation can enhances the collagen production in excision wounds using excision wound model in Wister rat model. The circular wounds were created on the dorsum of the back … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) on Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in Animal ModelsEric Peys, Jerry Varghese, Ponusami Suresh et al.The administration of probiotic bacteria is emerging as a potential means of preventing the onset or recurrence of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) and of attenuating inflammatory activity and preventing relapses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We evaluated the efficacy of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) in a hamster model of antibiotic-induced CDAD and in a rat model … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNucleation and Crystal Growth Rates of Struvite in DTM Type Crystallizer with a Jet-Pump of Descending Suspension Flow in a Mixing ChamberJoanna Koralewska, Krzysztof Piotrowski, Boguslawa Wierzbowska, Andrzej MatyniaThe kinetic data concerning reaction-crystallization of struvite from diluted water solutions of Mg2+, NH4+ and PO43- ions in a continuous DTM-type liquid jet-pump crystallizer with internal circulation of suspension are presented and discussed. The measurements were performed with the assumption of minimal value of unit power of a jet-pump’s feeding stream, providing thus a minimal level of internal circulation intensity. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Exposure to Various Durations of Light on Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Prepubertal Holstein HeifersL.J. Spicer, B.A. Buchanan, L.T. Chapin, H.A. TuckerOur objective was to determine if prolonged exposure to various durations of light (i.e., photoperiod) would affect serum IGF-I concentrations in heifers. Thus, 16 Holstein heifers, 2 to 4 mo of age, were exposed during a 5-wk pretreatment period to 12 h of cool-white fluorescent light (L) at an intensity of 1200 lux and 12 h of dark (D). At … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Dec 2007 · 6,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Packet Marketing Method in DDoS Attack DetectionChanghyun Beak, Junaid Ahsenali Chaudhry, Keonsoo Lee et al.Functionality and availability are one of the main characteristics of internet and hence very inviting for attackers to try to provoke a denial-of-service attack. As the intensity and frequency of DDoS attacks has increased, various preventive mechanisms have also been proposed. One of the most effective defence mechanisms proposed was Path Identification (Pi). This method tracks the packet transmission path. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
