Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAllelopathic Potentialities of Gliricidia sepium and Acacia auriculiformis on the Germination and Seedling Vigour of Maize (Zea mays L.)M. B. OyunDecline in crop yield in cropping and agroforestry system in recent years has been attributed to allelopathic effects. Plants may favourably or adversely affect other plants through allelochemicals, which may be released directly or indirectly from live or dead plants. The objective of this study was to examine and quantify the nature of interference of leaf leachates of Gliricidia sepium … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 9,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical and Immunological Study on the Effects of Barley and its Components as Hypoglycemic Agents in Diabetic RatsMokhtar I. Yousef, Medhat Haroun, Mohamed H. El-Masry, Reham EA. AteiaThe present study was carried out to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of barley (Hordeum vulgare L) and some of its components such as amino acids (L-leucine and L-glutamine) and chromium picolinate on some biochemical and immunological parameters of alloxan induced diabetic rats. Alloxan-diabetic rats were treated with barley water (10% w/v) at a dose 10 ml Kg-1 b.wt., chromium picolinate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Recipe Based Service Composition in Ubiquitous Smart SpacesJunaid A. Chowdary, Seung-Kyu Park, Suk-Kyo HongWe present a recipe based service composition scheme in smart spaces. We discuss real time problems of highly synchronized and user customizable processes with the help of an example. On-the-fly Quality of Service (QoS) shows up as a major issue in such environment. Furthermore the QoS of a dynamically composed service depends upon the aggregate QoS of its developing components. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory Treatment of Infertility in Men with Elevated Antisperm AntibodiesIvan Bubanovic, Slobodan Kojic, Stevo Najman, Zlatibor AndjelkovicPossible causes of subfertility or infertility in men are still poorly defined, but one important category may be elevated level of antisperm antibodies (ASA) caused by infective and/or autoimmune diseases, as well as injuries of male reproductive system. In this study, blood sera from 45 infertile men of different age with ASA positive ELISA test were examined for the serum … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics of Infected Snails and Mated Schistosoma Worms within the Human HostG. Besigye-Bafaki, L. S. LuboobiMale and female worms are independently distributed within a human host each with a Poisson probability distribution mass function. Mating takes place immediately when partners are available. It was found that the mated worm function is non-linear near the origin and becomes almost linear as the worms increase. They increase with increase in the worm load due to aggregation of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Parameters Influencing the Purity of Potassium Sulfate Fertilizer Produced from Jordanian Raw MaterialsMousa GougazehThe general objective of the present investigation was to make a contribution towards improving the purity of the produced potassium sulfate from (KCl, Arab Potash Company-Dead Sea) and (H2SO4, Jordanian Phosphate Company). The process parameters influencing the contamination of the poisoning chlorine within the product were experimentally investigated. The experiments were performed in a small-scale batch reactor equipped with a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Analysis of a Smart Multi Purpose Electronic Nose SystemMahmoud Z. Iskandarani, Nidal F. ShilbayehAn electronic nose system for multi application purposes is designed and tested. Our hardware design allows various types of sensors to be used for different applications. The system is capable of being interfaced to both analog and digital instruments with special filtering devices that isolate the system from surrounding signals. The design of the system is distinguished through the use … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of a New, Rapid, Amperometric Immunosensor for the Detection of Low Concentrations of Bacteria Part II: Optimization of the System for Escherichia coliEric Carnes, Ebtisam WilkinsThe optimization of a flow-through immunoassay system was conducted to achieve rapid detection of low concentrations of E. coli bacteria. The system includes a new immunosensor that uses newly developed, disposable immunofiltration membranes to yield a system that is sensitive as well as simple. Comparison of the performance of this system with conventional immunoassays demonstrated a significantly shorter time for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInvestigation of Biochemical and Hormonal Parameters in Male Patients with MigraineDua’a AlHassoon, Omar Atrooz, Husni FarahMigraine is a complex neurological disorder, including hormonal and biochemical imbalances. The physiological changes include neural variations due to genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Therefore, the research aims to investigate total testosterone levels, Acetylcholine (Ach), prolactin, and clinical markers (calcium, magnesium, glucose, and lipid profile) across migraine patients. The research employed a case-control observational design conducted at Al-Ahliyya Amman University, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 22 Jul 2026 · 823 accessesView PDFCite
