Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Death Using the National Longitudinal Mortality StudyMark GiusUsing an expansive survey of death that includes not only socioeconomic and demographic information on a deceased person, but also his or her cause of death, the present study attempts to examine the determinants of death. The present study uses the National Longitudinal Mortality Study, Public Use File (NMLS), which contains data on 370,930 individuals over the age of 24, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,875 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlatelet Derived Growth Factor-A mRNA Levels in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Subjects at Risk of Coronary Heart DiseaseSalman A.H. AlrokayanCoronary heart disease (CHD) is the number one cause of death in developed countries. We investigated the quantity of platelet derived growth factor-A mRNA (PDGF-A mRNA) among four different groups of diabetic and nondiabetic Saudi subjects (n = 40) at risk of CHD. Total RNA was derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMN) and PDGF-A mRNA reverse transcribed into cDNA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAFLPs in Warmblood Sporting Horses: Genetic Correlation with Height at the WithersV. Sanchez, C. Lemus, A. Inchaustegui et al.The Mexican army produces Warmblood horses for jumping proposes. However, breeding is based on phenotype and stallions are selected stepwise until the end of growth, representing a high care and maintenance cost. In this work using 64 selective primer combinations and AFLP technology we identified specific molecular markers related with height at the withers measurements of Warmblood horses. AFLPs generated … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,753 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Factors Affecting Environmental Behavior of Urban Residents: A Case Study in Tehran City- IranKhalil Kalantari, Hossein Shabanali Fami, Ali Asadi, H. Movahed MohammadiEnvironmental problems such as air and water pollution, urban garbage and climate changes in urban areas are the results of human behavior. Only change in human behavior can reduce these environmental problems. Thus studying attitude and behavior of people is a precondition to change this situation. So the main objective of this study was to find out individual and social … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsequence on Treatment of TB Patients Affected by HIV/AIDS A Conceptual ResearchSarder N. Uddin, S. J. Hossain, Md. N. Huda et al.Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an ancient malady, which is one of the world’s most wide spread infectious bacterial agents. Fully one-third of the world’s population is already infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with the greatest burden of disease and infection borne by people in developing countries. Tuberculosis disease is still out of control. Alarming spread of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and emergence … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-objective Genetic Algorithm for Association Rule Mining Using a Homogeneous Dedicated Cluster of WorkstationsS. Dehuri, A. K. Jagadev, A. Ghosh, R. MallThis study presents a fast and scalable multi-objective association rule mining technique using genetic algorithm from large database. The objective functions such as confidence factor, comprehensibility and interestingness can be thought of as different objectives of our association rule-mining problem and is treated as the basic input to the genetic algorithm. The outcomes of our algorithm are the set of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 7,519 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk of Second Non Breast Malignancies (SNBM) in Relation to Brca1 And Brca2 Mutation Status Following Breast-Conserving Surgery and RadiotherapyYoulia M. Kirova, Alain Fourquet, Alexia Savignoni, Brigitte Sigal-ZafraniWomen from hereditary breast cancer families with BRCA1/2 germline mutation are at increased risk for contralateral breast cancer (BC) and for ovarian cancer (OC). It is less clear whether mutation status influences the rate of SNBM other than OC. In addition, little is known on the risk of OC in individuals from hereditary BC families without identified BRCA mutation. Our … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,228 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of HIV-1 Infection in Addictive Behavior: A Study of a HIV-1 Transgenic Rat ModelSulie L. Chang, Michael VigoritoEpidemiological research indicates that drug abuse is prevalent among individuals infected with HIV-1. Evidence from preclinical research also suggests that drugs of abuse exacerbate the progression of neuropathological changes in the HIV-1 infected brain probably through common mechanisms of neuronal injury. The effects of HIV-1 on the efficacy and abuse potential of controlled drugs such as morphine, however, has not … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpidemiologic Assessment of the Protective Effects of Smallpox VaccinationHiroshi Nishiura, Isao Arita, Markus Schwehm, Martin EichnerDespite smallpox eradication, the widely discussed possibility of a bioterrorist attack using a variola virus makes it necessary to review the epidemiology of smallpox and the effects of various vaccination schemes. This paper provides a literature review concerning the epidemiologic assessment of the protective effects of smallpox vaccination, with particular emphasis on the statistical and theoretical points of view. Although … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards an Effective Personalized Information Filter for P2P Based Focused Web CrawlingFu Xiang-hua, Feng Bo-qinInformation access is one of the hottest topics of information society, which has become even more important since the advent of the Web, but nowadays the general Web search engines still have no ability to find correct and timely information for individuals. In this paper, we propose a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based decentralized focused Web crawling system called PeerBridge to provide … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
