Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Enhancement for Security Mechanism in RoutersKhalid Khanfar, Riyad Khanfar, Walid Al-Ahmad, Eyas El-QawasmehProblem statement: Routers are very important components in any network. They control and organize the in-bound traffic and the out-bound traffic. Controlling a router by an intruder leaves the entire network unsecured. In different studies, Router security was discussed from different aspects such as the routing protocol, the firewall. In this research, we present a new effective security mechanism for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugarcane Phenological Date Estimation Using Broad-Band Digital CamerasMobasheri, M. Chahardoli, J. Jokar, M. FarajzadehIn the agricultural industry, precision farming is the most important task that attracts lots of attentions. The health of the plant depends mostly on the amount of water in its access that can be estimated through vegetation indices. These indices can be extracted from satellite images through Image processing algorithms. The objective of this research was to provide an equation … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Diabetic Activity of a Fraction from Cissus verticillata and Tyramine, its Main Bioactive Constituent, in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic RatsCleide de Sousa Lino, Thiago de P. Sales, Patrícia B. Gomes et al.Cissus verticillata (syn. C. sycioides, fam. Vitaceae) is a medicinal plant popularly used in Brazil, for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The anti-diabetic activity of a fraction from leaves of Cissus verticilllata (MSF, methanol soluble fraction), as well as that of tyramine (TYR) were investigated, in the model of alloxan-induced diabetes, in male Wistar rats. The biochemical parameters studied were: … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Fig (Ficus carica) Leaf Extract on the Secretion and Content of Cholesterol in Hepg2 CellAhmad Fatemi, Ali Rasouli, Farzad AsadiTraditional medicines remain a source of potential for discovering of new compounds with valuable pharmacological activities. Leaves of Ficus carica were dried, powdered and extracted using methanol (ME).An aliquot of ME was dried and re-extracted by water:chloroform and the other aliquot by water: peteruleum ether. Effect of aqueous fractions of the former (ACR; 0.08, 0.1 and 0.13 mg dL-1), the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Thermophilic Composting of Crop Residues for Inactivation of Tobacco Mosaic VirusA.E. Ghaly, F. Alkoaik, A. Snow, R. SinghAn effective thermophilic composting bioreactor, in which a homogenous distribution of temperature was maintained at 63-65°C by the addition of a bioavailable carbon and low mixing, was developed. The bioreactor operated on a mixture of tomato plant residues-wood shavings-municipal solid waste compost infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The initial C: N ratio and moisture content of the compost mixture … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Tospovirus Transmitting Thrips Populations from IndiaRang Lal Meena, T. Ramasubramanian, S. Venkatesan, S. MohankumarThe presence of Tospovirus in thrips vector, Scirtothrips dorsalis has been detected for the first time in India using RT- PCR analysis. Similarly RT-PCR analysis with GBNV infected tomato leaves also resulted in the amplification of cDNA corresponding to the N gene (approximately 830 bp) of Coimbatore isolate. Dendrogram constructed on the basis of RAPD similarity matrix revealed that S. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,734 accessesView PDFCite
