Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of the Chemokines CCL3α, CCL3α and CCL5 in Atherosclerotic PatientsAlyaa Mousa, Amani Al-Zaki, Safa Taha, Moiz BakhietChemokines recruit immune cells to inflammatory sites and promote the process of inflammation. The role of these mediators in the disease process in atherosclerosis is not fully studied. The spontaneous mRNA expression and intracellular protein production of the potential inflammatory chemokines CCL3α and CCL3β (macrophage- inflammatory protein-1α and β; CCR3α/β ligand) and CCL5 (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Internal Flow Patterns on Heat transfer Performance of a Closed-end Oscillating Heat Pipe at Vertical PositionS. Rittidech, L. Yodluk, K. SongsornThis article describes the effects of varying bond numbers (Bo) and aspect ratios (Le/d) on flow pattern of a close-end oscillating heat-pipe (CEOHP). The CEOHPs used employed a glass tube with inside diameter of 3 mm. The length of evaporator of 100 and 150 mm (the lengths of evaporator adiabatic and condenser section were equal) were employed with 10 turns. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Solution Chemicals after Tannery Effluents DisposalCélia A. Surita, Thomas Gloaguen, Célia R. Montes, Carlos T.S. DiasKnowledge about soil solution chemicals is important for assessing their mobility, availability, migration to groundwater and toxicity to plants. The objective of this study was to apply factor analysis to data obtained on soil solution chemicals during a one-year monitoring program in a controlled experiment with tannery effluents disposed on the soil surface, to extract information on their relationship and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization Based Heuristic Approaches for Solving an Integrated One-dimensional Cutting Stock-Transportation ProblemSirirat Wongprakornkul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulIn this work, the integration of the one-dimensional cutting stock problem with multiple cutting facilities and the transportation problem was formulated mathematically as a large-scale discrete optimization problem. Benders partitioning approach and the column-generation technique with the direct method and the proposed heuristic method for solving corresponding integer programming (IP) were developed into three approaches and were used to solve … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Assessment and Monitoring of a Permeable Reactive Barrier for the Remediation of a Contaminated SiteValerio Zolla, Rajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaThe present study illustrates the long-term monitoring plan carried out in order to investigate the performance of a zero-valent iron permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at a chlorinated solvents’ site. The cleanup intervention has been undertaken at an industrial landfill located near the city of Turin (Italy) and represents the first full-scale application of this technology in Italy. The monitoring plan … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn in vitro Permeation of Phyllanthus amarus Extract Through Human and Shed Snake SkinsAroonsri Priprem, S. Radapong, S. Preeprame et al.An in vitro permeation of a hydroalcoholic extract of Phyllanthus amarus (PaE) was investigated using excised human epidermis and shed king cobra skin as the barrier membranes. Donor and receptor compartments of diffusion cells were pH-controlled to simulate the permeation environment of the human skin. The PaE was analyzed by using normal-phase densitometric TLC detected at λ 280 nm and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrosion of Copper Metal in Presence of Binary MixturesMedhat A. Shaker, Hanaa H. Abdel-RahmanThe rates of copper corrosion were determined in presence and in absence of different compositions of water-ethanol, -ethylene glycol, -glycerol, -dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and -dioxane binary mixtures. The rates of corrosion were found to decrease by increasing the concentration of solvents. The percent inhibition range from 10.9 to 78.2% depends on the nature of solvent and its concentration. The calculated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroducing Radio-Opaque Radio-Lucent Graduated Root Canal Length Indicating Cones (GRCLIC) in EndodonticsMohammad Rashid Shahidi BonjarRadio Opaque-Radiolucent Graduated Root-Canal Length Indicating Cone (GRCLIC) is a new innovative device being introduced for the first time in endodontics literature. GRCLIC can present more accurate measurement of the root canal length in conventional radiographs in endodontic and root canal treatment. Like many other dental and medical specialties, endodontics has evolved and changed over the years. The changes that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Steam Conditioning and Extrusion Temperature on Some Anti-nutritional Factors of Soyabean (Glycine max) for Pet Food ApplicationsB. Purushotham, P.M. Radhakrishna, B.S. SherigaraExtrusion processing of vegetable ingredients such as soyabean (Glycine max) characteristically depends on associating process conditions that influence the product qualities. The process parameters were optimized for extrusion of steam-conditioned material in order to obtain the maximum nutritive value by inactivating the anti-nutritional factors such as urease, trypsin inhibitors and lipase. The processing conditions such as moisture content, temperature and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jul 2007 · 9,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZonisamide: The Arizona ExperienceK.J. Oommen, Enriqe LabadieZonisamide (ZNS) is a new antiepileptic drug initially introduced in Europe, Japan and the United States (US) in the late 1980’s and was the first such drug to be clinically tested in the US, since the marketing of valproic acid in 1978. Reports of nephrolithiasis by European and US investigators resulted in the trials being terminated in the US during … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,164 accessesView PDFCite
