Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Catecholamines, Sweat Electrolytes and Physiological Responses of Exercised Normal, Partial Anhidrotic and Anhidrotic HorsesA. Bashir, A. RasedeeProblem statement: Malaysia imports horses from temperate countries to develop equine sports in the country. Several of these horses developed partial and complete anhidrosis. Approach: Normal, partial anhidrotic and anhidrotic horses were exercised to determine their sweating and physiological responses to exercise. The heart and respiratory rates, rectal temperature and blood samples were obtained before the horses were lunged at … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,249 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Resistance of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Poultry and Poultry Environment of BangladeshMuhammad Ali Akond, S.M.R. Hassan, Saidul Alam, Momena ShirinProblem statement: Increased emergence in microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem in Bangladesh, a tropical country with a large agrarian population having limited medical facilities. Wide spread use of antimicrobials in poultry farming here is a concern of multi-drug microbial resistance development that can potentially be transmitted to human pathogens even from non-pathogenic carrier strains. Attempt was made … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 11,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollapsibility and Volume Change Behavior of Unsaturated Residual SoilAzlan A. Aziz, Faisal H. Ali, chioong F. heng et al.Residual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. In these places, the soil forming processes are still very active and the weathering development is much faster than the erosive factor. Most residual soil exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The absence of positive pore … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Performance of Maximum Likelihood, Spectral Angle Mapper, Neural Network and Decision Tree Classifiers in Hyperspectral Image AnalysisHelmi Zulhaidi Mohd Shafri, Affendi Suhaili, Shattri MansorSeveral classification algorithms for pattern recognition had been tested in the mapping of tropical forest cover using airborne hyperspectral data. Results from the use of Maximum Likelihood (ML), Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Decision Tree (DT) classifiers were compared and evaluated. It was found that ML performed the best followed by ANN, DT and SAM with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 142,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmetine produce Entamoeba histolytica Death by Inducing a Programmed Cell DeathJ.D. Villalba-Magdaleno, R. Rojas, C. Gómez et al.Amoebiasis is a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical countries. Although a number of antiamoebic agents are used for its treatment and the molecular targets of these drugs have been identified, the biochemical and physiological mechanisms that produce trophozoite death are little known. The present study dates the in vitro induction of programmed cell death (PCD) in E. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarth-To-Space Improved Model for Rain Attenuation Prediction at Ku-BandMandeep Singh Jit Singh, S. S.I. Hassan, M. F. Ain et al.A model for predicting rain attenuation on earth-to-space was developed by using the measurement data obtained from tropical and equatorial region. The proposed rain attenuation model uses the complete rainfall rate cumulative distribution as input data. It was shown that significant improvements in terms of prediction error over existing attenuation model obtained. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Shear Box Test Apparatus for Measuring Shear Strength of Unsaturated Residual SoilBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj Ali, S. HashimResidual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. Most of these soils exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The shear strength parameters, c’ and Φ’, of soil can be obtained using conventional shear strength tests. However the conventional shear strength test equipments would not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Functional Analysis of the Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Proteins in the Clawed Frogs' Genomes With Common Essential Pathways and Enriched Gene Ontology TermsWuyi LiuThe international Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway databases were used to functionally analyze the clawed frogs' Basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factors of Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis in a updated genome-wide survey. There were 41 GO terms and one pathway significantly enriched for Xenopus tropicalis, whereas there were 45 GO terms and 3 pathways significantly enriched for Xenopus laevis. Among … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2019 · 8,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Production of Two New Nonpolyenic Antifungal Macrolide Derivatives by Streptomyces Z26 Isolated from Moroccan Rhizospheric SoilAhmed Nafis, Brahim Oubaha, Najoua Elhidar et al.The aim of our study was to screen Moroccan actinomycete isolates able to produce nonpolyenic antifungal metabolites in order to contribute to limiting the problem of fungal infections emergence in particular mycotic diseases and to discover known antifungal families, especially nonpolyenic drugs. 480 isolates were tested against 5clinically pathogenic Candida species. Several methods have been used to study the polyenic … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 8 Mar 2018 · 8,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExocellular (1→6)-β-D-Glucan (Lasiodiplodan): Carboxymethylation, Thermal Behavior, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial ActivityThais Vanessa Theis, Gabrielle Cristina Calegari, Vidiany Aparecida Queiroz Santos et al.β-Glucans are biomacromolecules of industrial interest for its biological and technological properties, including ability to modify the rheology of food systems and different biological functionalities. In this study, lasiodiplodan an exocellular polysaccharide of the (1→6)-β-D-glucan type produced by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae MMPI was obtained in a bench-scale bioreactor operated in discontinuous mode.
