Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDIFFERENT APPROACHES TO CRYSTALLIZATION OF MEMBRANE PROTEINSPrakash G. Doiphode, Vivek Pratap SinghCrystallography is more like an art than science. Crystallizing membrane proteins are a big challenge; membrane proteins are present in the cell membrane and serve as cell support. The most important feature of membrane protein is that it contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions on its surface. They are generally much more difficult to study than soluble proteins. The problem … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Dec 2012 · 7,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAltered Reproduction in Clarias gariepinus Exposed to Industrial EffluentsAdeogun Aina Olubukola, Chukwuka Azubuike VictorProblem statement: Reproductive success is a key factor in determining species survival and the unregulated discharge of industrial effluents into rivers and streams in a developing country like Nigeria, can impair reproductive ability in non-target organisms like fish. Fish, generally accumulate contaminants from their environment in their tissues and these can be transmitted through the yolk lipids to the eggs. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosurfactan Production by Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Soils of Sirri IslandM. Ghayyomi Jazeh, F. Forghani, Deog-Hwan OhProblem statement: Biosurfactants are active surface components produced by some bacteria and fungi. These molecules reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. The most important application of biosurfactants is in oil industry to enhance oil quality and facilitate oil extraction. The aim of this study was to isolate biosurfactant producing bacteria and optimize the conditions like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Initio Theoretical Study for the Electronic Spectra of β-ThioxoketonesRita S. Elias, Bahjat A. Saeed, Dhiyaa K. MuslemProblem statement: β-thioxoketones exist as equilibrium mixtures of the tautomeric enol and enethiol forms which interconvert very rapidly by intramolecular chelate proton transfer. Accordingly their electronic spectra in the u.v.-visible region exhibit absorption bands arising from transitions within the electronic systems involved in these tautomers. Approach: The structures of several β-thioxoketones were geometrically optimized using B3LYP/cc-pVTZ, B3LYP/6-311++G (2d,p), PM2/6-311++G(2d,p) and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNatural Sensitizer for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Three Layers of Photoelectrode Thin Films with a Schottky BarrierHo Chang, Mu-Jung Kao, Tien-Li Chen et al.Problem statement: This study combines Au nanoparticles with TiO2 nanoparticles to form a Schottky barrier and applies it to the photoelectrode thin film of Dye-Sensitized Solar cells (DSSCs). Approach: First, commercial TiO2 powder (Degussa P25) was put into the alkaline solution to prepare TiO nanotubes (Tnt) by a hydrothermal process. Tnt were sintered at 550° to obtain TntC550 particles and … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,990 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractType I host resistance and Trichothecene Accumulation in Fusarium-infected Wheat HeadsPravin Gautam, Ruth Dill-MackyProblem Statement: The objective of this study was to examine the influence of the type I host resistance and pathogen variation with respect to mycotoxin and aggressiveness, on infection, FHB disease development and mycotoxin accumulation in planta. Approach: Greenhouse experiments were conducted utilizing a spray inoculation method. Five single isolates of F. graminearum were tested. Three wheat cultivars were used; … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 11,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Strength and Durability Properties of High Performance Mortar Containing Densified Silica FumeCheah Chee Ban, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Numerous data and information on pozzolanic reaction and microfiller properties of silica fume were derived from laboratory investigation on silica fume in undensified form. Currently, due to low bulk density of undensified silica fume which poses problem in transportation and handling of the material, silica fume are commercially supplied in densified form. Densification process used to increase bulk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArabic Speaker Recognition: Babylon Levantine Subset Case StudyMansour Alsulaiman, Youssef Alotaibi, Muhammad Ghulam et al.Problem statement: Researchers on Arabic speaker recognition have used local data bases unavailable to the public. In this study we would like to investigate Arabic speaker recognition using a publically available database, namely Babylon Levantine available from the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC). Approach: Among the different methods for speaker recognition we focus on Hidden Markov Models (HMM). We studied the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
