Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecretary IgA Concentrations and plasma Cell Count Changes Associated with the Estrous Cycle in EwesMorteta H. AL-Medhtiy, A. B.Z. Zuki, M. M. Noordin, S. AgungpriyonoProblems statement: The level of uterine Secretory-IgA (S-IgA) and numbers of plasma cells was measured to observe the differences between two stages of estrous cycle (follicular and luteal phase) in the healthy cycling non pregnant ewes. Approach: Twelve ewes were used in this study and they were divided into two groups of 6 animals each according to the stages of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Quality of Die off and Die Back Mangrove Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Wafa AltesanThe declining mangrove vegetation along the Arabian Gulf coast necessitates a thorough study for finding out the soil status and for rehabilitating the affected population. In this study, soil supporting die back/die off mangrove plants at Al-Jubail area was studied. Field experiments were also conducted to determine the success/failure ratio of the germinated seeds in both healthy and damaged soils. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Dependent Behavior of Piles under Combined LoadingsMohd Raihan Taha, Qassun S. Mohammed Shafiqu, Zamri H. Chik, Jasim M. AbbasThis study investigates time-dependent lateral response of piles in elastoplastic soils under combined axial and lateral loadings. Mohr Coulomb model representing the soil and the finite element formulation were described and verified. The transient analysis of pile problem was then carried out and the results of the analysis were presented which demonstrate the effects of the consolidation process on the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,063 accessesView PDFCite

Sia SuThe study assessed and compared the groundwater quality of 14 selected wells continuously used in the with (Payatas) and without dumpsite (Holy Spirit) areas at the Payatas estate, Philippines. Water quality monitoring and analyses of the bio-physico-chemical variables (pH, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), total coliform, conductivity, salinity, nitrate-nitrogen, sulfate, color, total chromium, total lead and total … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 9,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioinhbition of Diarrhogenic Gram-negative Bacteria using the Tukey-HSD TestAdenike A.O. Ogunshe, J.O. OlaomiA variety of probiotics show promise as effective therapies in the control of diarrhoea, however, diets and geographical locations affect probiotic therapy. In this pilot study, four indigenous probiotic candidates, Lactobacillus acidophilus AAOOL4, L. reuteri AAOOCH1, L. plantarum AAOO25NN and L. delbrueckii AAOOT20 were investigated for their in vitro bactericidal effects on bacterial pathogens implicated in infantile diarrhoea using the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAltered Sulfur Amino Acid Metabolism In Immune Cells of Children Diagnosed With AutismJung H. Suh, William J. Walsh, Woody R. McGinnis et al.Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a behaviorally defined neurodevelopmental disorder whose etiology is poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that autistic children may be experiencing increased inflammation and oxidative stress. Altered immune regulation may be one contributing factor to inflammation and oxidative stress in autistic children. Sulfur amino acid (SAA) metabolism plays a critical role in regulating blood leukocyte functions … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 10,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Autistic Phenotype Exhibits a Remarkably Localized Modification of Brain Protein by Products of Free Radical-Induced Lipid OxidationTeresa A. Evans, Sandra L. Siedlak, Liang Lu et al.Oxidative damage has been documented in the peripheral tissues of autism patients. In this study, we sought evidence of oxidative injury in autistic brain. Carboxyethyl pyrrole (CEP) and iso[4]levuglandin (iso[4]LG)E2-protein adducts, that are uniquely generated through peroxidation of docosahexaenoate and arachidonate-containing lipids respectively, and heme oxygenase-1 were detected immunocytochemically in cortical brain tissues and by ELISA in blood plasma. Significant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison of Two On-demand Routing Protocols for Ad-hoc Networks based on Random Way Point Mobility ModelGeetha Jayakumar, G. GopinathAd hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols plays an important role. We compare the performance of two prominent on-demand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks: Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad Hoc On-demand distance Vector Routing (AODV). A detailed simulation model with MAC and physical layer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,693 accessesView PDFCite
