Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractT-2 Toxin Regulated Ganoderma lucidum Induced Cytokine ReleaseKazem Ahmadi, Majid RiazipourThe water-soluble extract of Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) has been used as immunomodulator to stimulate spleen cells proliferation and cytokine expression. It has also been shown that at some level of exposure, T-2 toxin typically act as immunosuppressive agent and can increase disease susceptibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of T-2 toxin on cytokine production by … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Object Fragmentation and Replication Algorithm In Distributed Database SystemsAzzam Sleit, Wesam AlMobaideen, Samih Al-Areqi, Abdulaziz YahyaThis paper proposes an enhancement for the ADRW algorithm to achieve dynamic fragmentation and object allocation in distributed databases. The algorithm adapts to the changing patterns of object requests with the objective to dynamically adjust the allocation schemes of objects in order to minimize the total servicing cost of all requests. Objects may be replicated or fragmented depending on patterns … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmissivity of Triangular Surfaces Determined by Differential Method: From Homogenization to Validity Limit of Geometrical OpticsTaoufik Ghabara, Faouzi Ghmari, M. S. SifaouiGeometric optics approximation for emissivity from triangular surfaces was compared with exact scattering predictions from electromagnetic theory. Rigorous electromagnetic scattering theory was numerically formulated based on the differential method. We have used a numerical simulation of the emissivity of gold and tungsten for a wavelength equal 0.55 micron to explore the validity of the geometric optics. Surface parameter domains for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Pre-processing of USF and MIAS Mammogram ImagesAyman A. AbuBaker, R. S. Qahwaji, Musbah J. Aqel et al.High quality mammogram images are high resolution and large size images. Processing these images require high computational capabilities. The transmission of these images over the net is sometimes critical especially if the diagnosis of remote radiologists is required. In this paper, a pre-processing technique for reducing the size and enhancing the quality of USF and MIAS mammogram images is introduced. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecreational Viagra Use and Sexual Risk among Drug Abusing MenDennis G. Fisher, Robert Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Until recently, the Viagra connection to HIV was anchored in older adults. However, CDC investigation showed stability in 50+ HIV diagnoses on the heels of upward trends in risk indicators among men who have sex with men (MSM) and substance abusing populations. Signs have increasingly pointed to recreational drug use among younger populations, to which Viagra is being added to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntagonism Between Chlorpyrifos and Flaxedil in Toad and Earthworm Neuromuscular TransmissionYong-Chiang Chang, Amauri B. Bartoszeck, Samir A. Madeira, Charles I. AbramsonThe cholinesterase inhibition effect of chlorpyrifos, a commercial insecticide, was tested by its antagonism to the acetylcholine inhibition effect of flaxedil in 30 isolated nerve-sartorius muscle preparations of the toad, compared with its antagonism in 30 isolated nerve cord-body wall muscle preparations of the earthworm. Inhibition and facilitation in this antagonism were measured by changes in depolarizing rate of toad … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Analyzing and Classifying the Human ChromosomesIbrahiem M.M. El EmaryThis study aimed to represent an advanced software tool assists in analyzing and classifying the human chromosomes. Our new software handles both classifying and analyzing the medical image of human chromosomes according to the following steps: 1- we use the image processing utilities in Matlab to analyze the image; where we provide a new filter to remove the noise depending … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMalaysian Service Sectors Adopt FEDI to Boost Exports and ImportsSaravanan MuthaiyahFinancial Electronic Data Interchange (FEDI) refers to making cash payments electronically rather than utilizing any form of traditional payment methods such as physical checks. The merger of two unique systems namely Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has brought about this new technology. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain how FEDI is currently being … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized Earthquake Evacuation Routes Using Dijkstra's Algorithm and WinQSBSandra Huarcaya Gonzales, Hugo Vega-Huerta, Gisella Luisa Elena Maquen-Niño et al.This research analyzes and generates optimal evacuation routes in the Barranco district during earthquake scenarios using the Dijkstra algorithm implemented through WinQSB. A preliminary review was conducted to establish key concepts related to earthquake dynamics, evacuation route planning, and the application of Dijkstra’s algorithm. Given its high seismic exposure and the prevalence of aging infrastructure, Barranco is considered highly vulnerable … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 9 Dec 2025 · 2,851 accessesView PDFCite
