Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Working Integrated Model for the Diffusion of Construction InnovationAhmad Rahman Songip, B.H. Lau, Kamaruzaman Jusoff, Hayati Nor RamliConstruction industry is said to be low in innovation and adoption of innovations is necessary to gain competitive advantage in a liberalized and globalized marketplace. This study investigated the factors that influenced the diffusion of construction innovations and developed an integrated framework to improve the diffusion process. A conceptual model was developed to guide the study and the modification of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 9 Feb 2013 · 8,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Characterization of Inflammatory and Structural Markers within the Rumen Epithelium During Grain-Induced Ruminal Acidosis in Lactating Dairy CattleL. Dionissopoulos, M. A. Steele, O. AlZahal et al.The objective of this study was to characterize the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory and structural genes in the rumen epithelium during grain-induced ruminal acidosis in lactating dairy cattle. A total of 16 rumen-fistulated, lactating Holstein dairy cattle (618±35 kg of body weight, 221±32 days in milk) were used in a randomized complete block design study. All cattle were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2012 · 8,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Clinical Advancement of the Effects of Parathyroid Analogues on Fracture Healing in Humans: A Review of LiteratureWen Wei Gerard Ee, Wen Liang Joel Lau, Harish Sivasubramanian, Diarmuid MurphyProblem statement: Numerous animal studies have shown that administration of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) or a related analogue promotes callus formation and bone union. However, there has yet to be sufficient evidence in human subjects to justify the use of PTH or related analogues in promoting fracture healing. The purpose of this paper is to (1) review all literature involving the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Fatty Acid Profile of Gestating Ewes Supplemented with FishmealMamun M. Or-Rashid, Rebecca Fisher, Niel Karrow et al.Problem statement: The very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (>18C) cannot be adequately synthesized by ruminant tissues to meet their requirements; therefore, their concentration in body depends on the supply through feed. It may be possible to improve the essential fatty acid status of ruminant animals, during gestation by manipulating the maternal diet with Fishmeal (FM). The objectives of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Thyroid Hormone Concentrations and pH Values of Some GI-Tract Segments of Broilers Fed on Different Dietary Citric Acid and Microbial Phytase LevelsRouhollah Nourmohammadi, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, Hamed Saraee, Alireza ArabProblem statement: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of microbial phytase supplementation and citric acid on thyroid activity, relative weight of lymphoid organs and pH values of some GI-tract segments in broiler chickens fed corn-soybean meal based diets. Approach: The data was analyzed using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement of 3×3, three levels of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Super Absorbent Application on Antioxidant Enzyme Activities in Canola (Brassica napus L.) Cultivars under Water Stress ConditionsH. R. Tohidi-Moghadam, A. H. Shirani-Rad, G. Nour-Mohammadi et al.Problem statement: Drought stress significantly limits Canola (Brassica napus L.) growth and crop productivity. Hence, efficient management of soil moisture and study metabolic changes which occur in response to drought is important for agricultural production of this Crop. Approach: For a better understanding of drought tolerance mechanisms and improving soil water content management strategies, an experiment was laid out in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Sorghum Density As Affected By Two Water Qualities Under Drip Irrigation SystemB.A. Ould Ahmed, T. Yamamoto, M. Inoue, H. DehghanisanijPot experiment was conducted under glasshouse conditions during 2005 at the Arid Land Research Center, Tottori University in Tottori, Japan. The study presented here was aimed to evaluating the response of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench), density under two different water qualities. The investigation was carried out in randomized complete block design experiments located in a plastic greenhouse. Crop growth … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Planting Dates and Varieties on Growth and Yield of Broccoli During Rainy SeasonKaristsapol Nooprom, Quanchit SantiprachaBroccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is one of the most popular vegetable crops in many countries of the world as its nutritional importance. It has the most exacting climatic and cultural requirements, which limit its commercial production to a few favored locations. In Thailand, broccoli has been expending in recent years and amount of increasing production. It is best planted … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 19 Nov 2013 · 8,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Isoflurane and Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Holstein Calves for Placement of Portal and Jugular Vein CannulasGlen Sellers, Hui-Chu Lin, Manuel Felipe Chamorro, Paul Harold WalzIsoflurane and sevoflurane are the two most commonly used inhalation anesthetics in veterinary medicine today. This study compared the anesthetic effects between isoflurane and sevoflurane in 17 calves undergoing surgery for placement of portal and jugular vein cannulas. Using a randomized control trial, calves were assigned to receive sevoflurane or isoflurane. Anesthesia was induced with xylazine and ketamine then maintained … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2013 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Potassium Levels on Antioxidant Enzymes and Malondialdehyde Content under Drought Stress in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)H. Soleimanzadeh, D. Habibi, M.R. Ardakani et al.Problem Statement: Drought stress as a major adverse factor can lower leaf water potential, leading to reduced turgor and some other responses and ultimately lower crop productivity in arid and semi arid zones. Sunflower is one of the main oil seed crops in Iran, where drought stress is the most limiting factor. Drought stress tolerance requires the activation of complex … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,779 accessesView PDFCite
