Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Innate Immunity in Bovine Mastitis: The Role of Pattern-Recognition ReceptorsFernando Nogueira de Souza, Eduardo Milton Ramos Sanchez, Marcos Bryan Heinemann et al.Mastitis is the most costly disease for dairy farmers and industry, which are mainly caused by the entry of bacteria to the teat canal. Shortly after the entry of the invading bacteria, the innate immunity recognizes the invading pathogen through pattern recognition receptors and initiates the inflammatory response necessary to eliminate the invading bacteria. This initial inflammatory response releases cytokines … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Oct 2012 · 10,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility Study: Colorectal Cancer Related Educational Program for Korean AmericansJin Hee Kim, Usha Menon, Laura A. SzalachaProblem statement: The purpose of this study was to assess feasibility and acceptability of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) related educational program, specifically designed to promote Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) completion for Korean Americans aged 50 years and older. Approach: Focus group discussion (N = 9) guided by semi-structured questions was conducted to understand the demand for CRC education and to … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 22 Dec 2011 · 6,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse of SAI Afferents May Play a Role in the Perception of Velvet Hand IllusionAbdullah Chami, Masahiro Ohka, Yuji Kawabe, Hanafiah Bin YussofProblem statement: We revealed the reason behind a haptic illusion called the Velvet Hand Illusion (VHI) by FEM analysis. In VHI, a person rubs his/her hands together on both sides of wires strung through a frame and produces the sensation of rubbing a very smooth and soft surface like velvet. We focus on VHI to determine the specifications of an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Electrical and Electromagnetic Investigation for Contaminated SiteAlberto Godio, Mario NaldiProblem statement: The environmental assessment of industrial areas is required to minimize the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. The survey of wide areas (e.g., some hectares) provides a high economical and complex logistical impact when random strategies of soil sampling are adopted. Recently, geophysical methods had been successfully adopted to drive the process of the spatial sampling of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Quality Management Practices Within the Healthcare IndustryWilliam J. Miller, Andrew T. Sumner, Richard H. DeaneProblem Statement: Considerable effort has been devoted over the years by many organizations to adopt quality management practices, but few studies have assessed critical factors that affect quality practices in healthcare organizations. The problem addressed in this study was to assess the critical factors influencing the quality management practices in a single important industry (i.e., healthcare). Approach: A survey instrument … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,361 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical and Genetic Responses of Fungi to the Toxic Effect of Synthetic and Natural FungicidesMarÍa-Elena Báez-Flores, Rosalba Troncoso-Rojas, Martin-Ernesto Tiznado-HernándezThe objective of the present review is to analyze the molecular basis of fungicide resistance mechanism to both synthetic fungicides and the natural fungicides isothiocyanates. The review is focused mainly on Alternaria sp., but whenever available, similar studies in other fungi have been included. Fungal resistant strains to dicarboximide and phenylpyrrole fungicides have been found to contain mutations in one … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Engineer's Mathematical Approach to Designing an Emergency Room Decontamination Area for Weapons of Mass Destruction CasualtiesEldo E. Frezza, Erica Fletcher, Veronica Flores et al.This study will focus on the potential requirements for an emergency response facility in case of weapons of mass destruction casualties proposing mathematical models. A complete emergency room layout will be designed taking the following analyses and requirements into consideration: quality function development (QFD) and product layout; average number of patients in the system, average time in the system, average … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,429 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Multiresponse Semiparametric Regression ModelSri Haryatmi, I. Nyoman Budiantara, Wahyu WibowoThe modeling between predictors and response in statistics sometimes deals with more than one response or multiresponse situation. Furthermore, it can be happen that some predictors have linear relationship with the responses and the others predictor have unknown relationship. To overcome this modeling problem we proposed multiresponse semiparametric regression model. This model has more than one response and contains both … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Feb 2013 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
