Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Temperature and Precipitation on Global Mangrove Rhizophora Species DistributionAroloye O. Numbere, Gerardo R. CamiloClimate change influences the distribution of mangroves towards tropical or temperate regions of the world. We hypothesized that Rhizophora species organized along complex spatial and temporal temperature and precipitation gradient. To determine the affinity of different mangroves with climatic parameters, the response of eight Rhizophora species to seven climatic parameters (i.e., annual mean temperature, annual precipitation, maximum temperature of warmest … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 5 Oct 2017 · 8,259 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation into Labouchère’s Betting System to Improve Odds of Favorable Outcomes to Generate a Positive Externality EmpiricallyJake Billings, Sebastian Del BarcoThe Labouchère gambling system is hypothesized to increase the probability of winning a predetermined arbitrary profit in a gambling system such as a coin flip or a roulette game in which both payouts and odds are 1:1. However, use of the system increases the downside monetary risk in the event of a streak of multiple losses. To begin, a player … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 26 Aug 2017 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Moderating Effect of Sibling Delinquency on Risky Behavior during Emerging AdulthoodF. Ryan Peterson, Leslie Gordon Simons, Adriatik Likcani, Katherine HickeyThis study examines the relationship between sibling delinquency and respondent risky behavior of emerging adults. This study attempts to understand the influence a sibling has on deviant behavior, sexual behavior and substance use during emerging adulthood. Sibling support and sibling contact were the two components of sibling relationships that were examined. A social learning theory framework was used. It was … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2017 · 7,754 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProcessability of Bulk Metallic GlassesRaffaella Aversa, Daniela Parcesepe, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu et al.Microfluidic Shear Flow Instabilities in Injection Molded Glassy Metal are investigated. The formation of microfluidic shear flows instabilities involving the presence of different viscosities fluids has been observed in injection molded Bulk Metallic Glasses. The complex rheology of injection molded metastable glassy metal, which has been hypothesized to induce selective clustering of atoms of different steric hindrance, is discussed. Smaller … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 15 Feb 2017 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCpG Oligodeoxynucleotides Debate the Damaging Action of Cisplatin on Immune Cell DNA: A PCR Array Application on Repair Genes ExpressionNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Amal Abo El-Fadl, Shabaan Hemada et al.Synthetic Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) expressing CpG motifs (CpG-ODN) mimic the immunostimulatory activity of bacterial DNA and are commonly used to activate Toll Like Receptor 9 (TLR9) for therapeutic applications. CpG-ODN can counteract the activity of DNA-damaging chemotherapy and radiation therapy on immune cell and enhance immunity in preclinical mouse models. We hypothesized that these actions of CpG-ODN on immune cells are … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLiquid Crystalline Polymers Compatibilization and Adhesion Enhancement by Reactive Blending in Post-Consumers PET’sAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioA method for PET mechanical properties enhancement by reactive blending with HBA/HNA Liquid Crystalline Polymers for in situ highly fibrillar composites preparation is presented. LCP/PET blends were reactive extruded in presence of Pyromellitic Di-Anhydride (PMDA) and then characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermally Stimulated Currents and tensile mechanical properties. The formation of specific macromolecular structures, where the PET, the LCP … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Effects of Water Conditioning on the Adhesion Properties of Crack SealantAhmed Lamarre, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper investigates the effect of water exposure on three different crack sealants commonly used in cold, moderate and hot climates. It is hypothesized that water penetrates into the interface between crack sealant and substrates causing progressive adhesion failure and that the rate of failure varies depending on the sealant’s surface chemistry as relates to its interaction with water molecules … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2016 · 8,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Perspective-Taking on Ability to Recognize FearAndrea Trubanova, Inyoung Kim, Marika C. Coffman et al.Impairment in the ability to detect certain emotions, such as fear, is linked to multiple disorders and follows a pattern of inter-individual variability and intra-individual stability over time. Deficits in fear recognition are often related to social and interpersonal difficulties but the mechanisms by which this processing deficit might occur are not well understood. One potential mechanism through which impaired … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 12 Jan 2016 · 8,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrganizational Well-Being in a Public Research Agency: The Point of View of Administrative Staff and ResearchersElisa Colì, Antonella RissottoThe aim of this paper is to investigate organizational well-being in a Public Research Agency, exploring the point of view of two different categories of workers, administrative staff and researchers, employed in the same organization. We hypothesized that, in a complex organization, the kind of work performed, along with other factors, could influence the representation of organizational well-being. The study … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
