Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Scale to Measure SuperstitionMd. Mahfuzul Huque, Ataharul Huq ChowdhuryThe purpose of the study was to construct a scale to measure superstition in a rural setting. A total of 31 statements or items expressing superstition were collected through reviewing relevant literature, consultation with extension experts, social scientists, progressive farmers and local leaders Statements were carefully examined and edited as per the criteria of Edwards[1]. The statements were employed to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleService Loyalty Measurement Scale: A Reliability AssessmentJ. Clement Sudhahar, Duraipandian Israel, A. Prabhu Britto, M. SelvamThis research article demonstrates the application of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in the scale development process of measuring the construct Service Loyalty (SERVLOYAL). The conceptualization of SERVLOYAL is presented, the dimensions forming the SERVLOYAL construct are figured out. The nitty-gritty of CFA is discussed. And the results of CFA analysis for SERVLOYAL scale developed are found to be reliable. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,860 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKinematics Model of Snake Robot Considering Snake ScaleRaisuddin Khan, M. Watanabe, A. A. ShafieProblem statement: In snake robot research, one of the most efficient forms of locomotion is the lateral undulation. However, lateral undulation, also known as serpentine locomotion, is ill-suited for narrow spaces, as the body of the snake must assume a certain amount of curvature to propel forward. Approach: To overcome the inability to adapt to narrow spaces, a novel type … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparative Permeation Studies between Scale Region of Shed Snake Skin and Human Skin In vitroAroonsri Priprem, Chidchanok Khamlert, Thaned Pongjanyakul et al.Scales of shed king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) skin from the dorsal portions, (SSS) and human breast epidermis (HE) were used as barrier membranes for comparison in an in vitro drug permeation study of nine active compounds (MW range 150-300 g mol-1, pKa 3-10). Each compound, saturated in a donor solution at pH 4.0 or 5.6, permeated through the barrier membrane, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,413 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGadolinium at Low Concentration Suppresses both Osteoclastic and Osteoblastic Activities in the Scales of GoldfishNobuo Suzuki, Kazuki Watanabe, Aika Sekimoto et al.For determining the effect of environmental pollutants on fish bone metabolism, we have developed an in vitro bioassay system using teleost scales that has osteoclasts, osteoblasts and bone matrix as markers: alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for osteoblasts and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) for osteoclasts. Using this bioassay, the influence of gadolinium (Gd) on osteoclasts and osteoblasts of goldfish scales was examined … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2019 · 8,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNew Scaled Sufficient Descent Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Solving Unconstraint Optimization ProblemsAbbas Y. AL-Bayati, Rafiq S. MuhammadProblem statement: The scaled hybrid Conjugate Gradient (CG) algorithm which usually used for solving non-linear functions was presented and was compared with two standard well-Known NAG routines, yielding a new fast comparable algorithm. Approach: We proposed, a new hybrid technique based on the combination of two well-known scaled (CG) formulas for the quadratic model in unconstrained optimization using exact line … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUltrasonic Dental Scaler Performance Assessment with an Innovative CavitometerAntonio Henrique Alves Pereira, Camila Tirapelli, Lucimar Antonio RodolphoProblem statement: There is no specific instrument to test ultrasonic dental scalers used in dentistry. Approach: The aim of this research was to develop and test an innovative cavitometer for quantitative and automatic performance assessments of Ultrasonic Dental Scalers (UDS) through the acoustic emission produced by cavitation induced by the tip of the UDS ultrasonic transducer when immersed in aqueous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,535 accessesView PDFCite
