Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitively Inspired Algorithm for Imprecise NavigationMelissa Shahrom, Zalilah Abd AzizThis paper presents an algorithm, namely the private navigation algorithm. The aim of this algorithm is to bridge the gap between high quality navigation services and low quality of location information or imprecise data. Generally, the imprecision is due to the poor positioning technology and the algorithms use to protect location privacy. The benefits of the algorithm are at least … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 14 Jul 2016 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Q-Routing Protocol Using Self-Aware Approach for Mobile Ad hoc NetworksAmal Alharbi, Abdullah Al-Dhalaan, Miznah Al-RodhaanMobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are self-organized networks that are characterized by dynamic topologies in time and space. This creates an instable environment, where classical routing approaches cannot achieve high performance. Thus, adaptive routing is necessary to handle the challenges in MANETs. Furthermore, it is necessary for nodes to be self-aware i.e., able to discover neighbors, links and paths when … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 7 Dec 2015 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for Resolving Flow Parameters for MRI-Neuroimaging ApplicationMoses E. Emetere, M.L. AkinyemiThe functionality of recent neuroimaging using the MRI machine has generated errors which are peculiar to all kinds of MRI processes. Though hardwares are used to complement the MRI process, the problems are not completely solved due to its fundamental errors. The fundamental error is in the exclusion of molecular interaction in the ab-initio Bloch NMR. A new mathematical concept … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 29 Sep 2015 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVisceral Pain: Basic Research Concepts and Therapeutic InterventionsVictor V. ChabanThe accumulation of nociceptive diseases that limit normal body functions is a major risk factor for a disability, and visceral pain is one of the most prevalent human health problems. Additionally, many pain-associated diseases are accompanied by the concomitant decline in cognitive and motor performance.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractItems and Generalizations: Evidence from Decir within the Family of Subjective-Transitive Constructions in SpanishFrancisco Gonzálvez-GarcíaThis paper explores the existence of a continuum between regular, productive, conventional configurations and fixed, idiosyncratic and novel configurations within the full gamut of instances of secondary predication with decir ('say') and verba dicendi in present-day Spanish. Drawing on Cognitive Construction Grammar, it is argued that instances of the secondary predication with these verbs can be aptly regarded as forming … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 28 Jul 2015 · 8,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE NAME PATHWAY, AN ELEMENTARY COGNITIVE MODEL OF NAMES AS SENSORY REPRESENTATIONSS. Balachandra DassNames function as sensory representations, but the relationship between names and sensory stimuli/responses remains unclear. This study proposes the existence of a class of stimulus-response pathways, the name pathway, where a name is a reproducible and communicable symbol and the name pathway is one where the same name is both the stimulus and the response. Once a stimulus-response "name" pathway … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2014 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Acute Toxicity and Neuropharmacological Activities of PM-52Wipawee Thukhum-Mee, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn MuchimapuraThe neuropsychological disorders are increasing their importance nowadays. Unfortunately, the therapeutic efficacy is still not in satisfaction level. Therefore, the novel agents that are effective, safe, cheap and easy to approach are in required. Therefore, we aimed to determine the neuropharmacological activities of PM52, the novel herbal supplement. We had developed the PM52, a novel product comprising of Cissampelas pariera … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 May 2013 · 7,351 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSilkworm Pupae Protect Against Alzheimer’s DiseaseJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn Muchimapura, Artit Boosel et al.Silkworm (Bombyx mori) pupae have long been used as food and medicine in Asian countries. It is reputed for the treatment of numerous neurological disorders related to oxidative stress including stroke. Therefore, we hypothesized that silkworm pupae could attenuate memory impairment and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. In the present study, we determined the effect of silkworm pupae on the neurodegeneration … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2012 · 9,697 accessesView PDFCite
