Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunity to Diphtheria in Haemodialysis PatientsAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mortaza Pourahmd, Sara Azhdari et al.Problem statement: The incidence of infectious diseases is increased in patients with chronic renal failure. Chronic renal failure severely influences the immune functions of the host. Diphtheria is of great epidemiological concern. Although mainly observed during childhood, unvaccinated adults and relatively immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for acquiring diphtheria. Approach: To evaluate the anti-Diphtheria immunity level in southern Iranian … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jun 2011 · 8,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Equivalence Factors of a System with m Non-Identical Mixed of LifetimesAbdelfattah Mustafa, Adel A. El-FaheemProblem statement: The aim of this study is to generalize reliability equivalence technique to apply it to a system consists of m independent and non-identical lifetimes distributions, with mixed failure lifetimes f1(t),f2(t),…,fm(t). Approach: We shall improve the system by using some reliability techniques: (i) reducing the failure for some lifetimes; (ii) add hot duplication component; (iii) add cold duplication component; … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Anti-Tetanus Immunity in Haemodialysis PatientsAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Rahim Raoofi, Marzieh Sarikhani, Abdolhossain MadaniProblem statement: The incidence of infectious diseases is increased in patients with chronic renal failure. Chronic renal failure severely influences the immune functions of the host. Approach: To evaluate the antitetanus immunity level in southern Iranian patients with end stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis and to find its association with sex, age, blood hemoglobin and serum albumin, duration of dialysis. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Soil Structures Using Pseudo Static MethodB. Munwar Basha, G.L. Sivakumar BabuProblem statement: This study presented a method to evaluate the internal stability of reinforced soil structures against tension and pullout modes of failure using pseudo-static method for earthquake conditions. Approach: Using limit equilibrium method and assuming the failure surface to be logarithmic spiral, analysis was conducted to maintain internal stability against both tensile and pullout failure of the reinforcements. For … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Seismic Active Earth Pressure Using Curved Failure Surface with Localized StrainHemanta HazarikaProblem statement: Correct evaluation of the earth pressure against retaining structure during earthquake is essential for the safe and economic design of geotechnical structures. Progressive deformation in the backfill and the assumed shape of failure wedge affect the calculated values of seismic earth pressures. However, no research until now is available that considers both of these two factors in an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPush Vs Pull: Factors Influence Student RetentionMatthew Leone, Robert G. TianProblem statement: Student retention becomes one of the most significant issues that administrators of colleges and universities must deal with in today’s highly competitive market. Approach: In fact retaining a student is fundamental to the ability of an institution to carry out its mission. A high rate of attrition is not only a fiscal problem for schools, but a symbolic … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,340 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting the Standard of Female Education: A Case Study of Senior Secondary Schools in the Kassena-Nankana DistrictI. A. Adetunde, Akampae Peter AkensinaThis study presents the current factors affecting the standard of female education in the Kassena-Nankana district in Upper East Region of Ghana. Poverty, long-held negative attitudes about women's intellectual capabilities, teenage pregnancy, early marriage, examination failure in mathematics and science and the traditional division of household labour are among the many factors that continue to keep vast numbers of girls … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,990 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout Supersonic Flight and Mach 3 FlyingRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuAerospace-BAC Concorde was a supersonic passenger aircraft. It was the result of a government treaty between the French and British governments, combining the efforts of Aerospace and British Aircraft Corporation. With only 20 aircraft built in total, the cost of the development phase was a major economic failure. In addition, Air France and British Airways were subsidized by the government … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2020 · 8,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Sandwich Panel Under High Temperature Loading Using Finite Element AnalysisSajjad Sayyar Roudsari, Armaghan Shalbaftabar, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh et al.Structural and nonstructural members are always encountered with extreme loading conditions. In case of nonstructural members, the failure happens much sooner due to lack of load capacity. The nonstructural elements are not designed for structural loading conditions. However, they might be impacted to other loading types such as fire. In recent years, the use of 3D panel is one of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2020 · 7,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Predictors Associated With HIV/AIDS Patients on ART Using Accelerated Failure Time Model for Interval Censored Survival DataPrafulla Kumar Swain, Gurprit GroverThe main objective of this paper is to identify the independent predictors affecting the survival of HIV/AIDS infected patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), an interval censored event time outcome. A total of 2052 HIV/AIDS patients, who were on ART at Ram ManoharLohia Hospital, New Delhi, India, during the period of April 2004 to December 2010, were included for analysis.
