Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV Prevention Intervention Outcome among Minority Adolescents in Court Mandated Drug TreatmentJessy Devieux, Robert C. McMahon, Rhonda Rosenberg, Robert M. MalowProblem statement: Delinquent adolescents with substance abuse disorders frequently engage in behaviors that elevate their risk of contracting HIV. Although effective risk reduction interventions are urgently needed, there is uncertainty about the nature of interventions required to produce change. Approach: This study evaluated whether Modified version of Becoming A Responsible Teen (M-BART) produced greater reductions in drug use and sexual … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Carboxyl-Functionalized Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes on the Interfacial Barrier Height of Malachite Green Dye Based Organic DeviceSudipta Sen, Nabin Baran ManikIn this study, we have estimated the interfacial barrier height (ɸb) of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass/Malachite Green (MG) dye/Aluminium (Al) based organic device and subsequently we have also observed the effect of carboxylfunctionalized SWCNT (COOH-SWCNT) on the ɸb. Presence of COOH-SWCNT reduces the interfacial barrier height as SWCNT acts as filler and provides easy path for charge percolation. … …Physics International, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 31 Jul 2019 · 12,400 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling, Simulation and Optimization of Steel Sandwich Panels under Blast LoadingSayed M. Soleimani, Nader H. Ghareeb, Nourhan H. ShakerHoneycomb sandwich panels are commonly preferred in structural engineering as a design element meant to protect against blast loading, and this owes primarily to the fact that they are light in weight (due to the voids present) whilst carrying high energy absorption capacities. A widespread surge in acts of terrorism, and the resultant threat posed to structures, presents structural engineers … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2018 · 7,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCash Flow Management at the Insurance Company Aimed at Provision of Financial StabilityElena Knyazeva, Larisa Yuzvovich, Elena Smorodina et al.The insurance market of the Russian Federation is currently demonstrating the trend of slower growth rate of insurance premiums and problems, rising in certain sectors. The loss ratio of insurance operations is increasing along with reducing profitability of internal funds and assets, operational costs are growing. All these factors affect the financial stability of insurance companies and reduce the profitability … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 24 Jun 2016 · 9,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrequency, Substance and Procedural Shortcomings of State Level Impeachment Campaigns in an Emerging Federal DemocracyIbraheem Oladipo MuheebNigeria’s 1999 Constitution encompasses separation of powers and checks and balances.

The legislature has unfettered right to be self-regulatory including intra-institutional changes in leadership. Such right must be exercised responsibly and in conformity with the Constitution. Erring executive official could be impeached by … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,467 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractInternal Migration and Poverty Reduction: Rethinking the Debate on the North-South Movement in GhanaRichard Serbeh, Prince Osei-Wusu Adjei, Thomas YeboahIn the past few years the nexus that link internal migration and poverty reduction has been a subject of interest among researchers and policy makers. Internal movements constitute a major coping mechanism in poverty stricken areas although the evidence supporting this claim is equivocal. This paper critically examines the extent to which internal migration could acts as an important route … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2015 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractLoad Balancing Technique Based on Broadcasting and Residual Energy Using Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy Protocol (LBEACH)Abdullah Soliman Alshraa, Venus Wazeer SamawiOne of the important factors of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is sensors lifetime. Elongating sensors lifetime increases the benefits from the network capabilities as much as possible. To elongate WSNs lifetime, power consumption should be reduced. To do so, load balance technique is applied to distribute the energy consumption among cluster’s nodes in the WSN. In each cluster, the node … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 13 Oct 2015 · 6,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Marine Clay-Supported Nano Zero Valent IronHo Kuok How, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacobThis study reports the preparation and characterization of marine clay nano zero valent iron (MC+nZVI) where marine clay acts as the composite material. Marine clay was air dried and pulverized before used. Basically, MC+nZVI was synthesized by chemical reduction method. The materials synthesized were left oven dried overnight at 50°C. The obtained materials were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2015 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConversion of Mutton Fat to Cocoa Butter Equivalent by Increasing the Unsaturated Fatty Acids at the Sn-2 Position of Triacylglycerol Through Fermentation by Yarrowia LipolyticaDan Xiong, Huaiyuan Zhang, Yifang Xie et al.Mutton fat has a similar fatty acid profile with Cocoa Butter (CB), except that its degree of unsaturation of Triacylglycerol (TAG) at the Sn-2 position is considerably lower than CB and maybe increased by Sn-2 specific lipase to produce Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE), a healthy functional lipid. However, there is no commercially available Sn-2 specific lipase that can be used … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2015 · 8,703 accessesView PDFCite
