EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Erosion Hotspot Area using GIS and MCE Technique for Koga Watershed in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, EthiopiaTewodros T. Assefa, Manoj K. Jha, Seifu A Tilahun et al.Soil erosion is a serious threat in Ethiopian highlands. Continuous land degradation resulted in loss of fertile top soil leading to low agricultural productivity. In addition, excessive soil erosion from Koga Watershed in upper catchment to an artificial reservoir (Koga Dam reservoir) is substantially reducing its service life. Community participatory based effective watershed management strategies may have tremendous potential to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 10 Sep 2015 · 9,147 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Low Probability of Intercept Radar Signals Using the Reassignment MethodDaniel L. Stevens, Stephanie A. SchuckersDigital intercept receivers are currently moving towards classical time-frequency analysis techniques for analyzing low probability of intercept radar signals. Although these techniques are an improvement over existing Fourier-based techniques, they still suffer from a lack of readability, due to poor time-frequency localization and cross-term interference, which may lead to inaccurate detection and parameter extraction. In this study, the reassignment method, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2015 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccreditation of Emergency Department at a Teaching Hospital in Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2010Fereshteh Farzianpour, Roholah Askari, Amin Torabipoor Hamedani et al.Problem statement: Considering the importance of emergency departments in healthcare system and the high mortality rate of patients referred to these departments, it is crucial to provide quality services in emergency departments. Accreditation is a systematic process for improving quality of care and it enables managers to assess and evaluate the healthcare system. Accreditation of an organization provides an obvious … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2011 · 8,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEthics Camp: The Appropriate Management Model for Northeastern Region Youth, Ecclesiastical Region 9Wongsathit Wisupee, Sastra Laoakka, Kosit PaengsoiProblem statement: Youth’s ethics tended to be a continuous increased problem and they were in their age without judgment. Youths were very important for national development in future, if their problems were not urgently solved it would overall effect to way of live in their families, communities, socials and Thailand. Approach: This research aimed to study backgrounds, current conditions, problems … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Feb 2011 · 7,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of Program Development Competencies for Agricultural Extension Agents' Performance in Process of Technology TransferNeda Tiraieyari, Khairuddin Idris, Azimi Hamzah, Jegak UliProblem statement: The movement of technology from lab to the field has been a challenge for agricultural extension agents. In this study researchers focused on program development competencies for agricultural extension agents in process of technology transfer and discuss the importance of these competencies by determining the relationship between these competencies and performance of extension agents. Approach: The study employed … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,140 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards the Development of Speaker-Dependent and Speaker-Independent Hidden Markov Model-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Tone distortion in Thai languages can deteriorate not only the intelligibility of speech but also its naturalness. Therefore, the correctness of tone must be carefully taken into account in continuous speech synthesis. The preliminary work confronted this problem when applying HMM-based speech synthesis to Thai. Approach: This study presented a study on speaker-dependent and speaker-independent Hidden Markov Model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdjustment of Peak Streamflows of a Tropical River for UrbanizationAta Amini, Thamer Mohammad Ali, Abdul Halim B Ghazali, Bujang Kim HuatPeak runoff from a catchment is influenced by many factors such as intensity and duration of rainfall, catchment topography, catchment shape, land use and other variables. For a particular catchment, landuse change and other human activities will alter the characteristic of catchment hydrograph. Problem statement: As a result of urbanization, the magnitude of floods occurring in a catchment increased. It … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConjugate Gradient ‎Method: A Developed Version to Resolve Unconstrained Optimization ProblemsAhmad Alhawarat, Nguyen-Thoi Trung, Zabidin SallehOne of the important methods that are widely utilized to resolve ‎unconstrained ‎optimization problems is the Conjugate Gradient (CG) method. This paper aims to propose a new version of the CG method on the basis of Weak Wolfe-Powell (WWP) line search. The assumption is bounded below optimization problems with the Lipschitz continuous gradient. The new parameter obtains global convergence properties … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 9 · 18 Sep 2020 · 6,887 accessesView PDFCite
