Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNasal Administration of Quercetin Liposomes Modulate Cognitive Impairment and Inhibit Acetylcholinesterase Activity in HippocampusTerdthai Tong-Un, Supaporn Muchimapura, Wathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn WattanathornProblem statement: Oxidative stress is a major factor implicated in the degeneration of cholinergic neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Several reports have indicated that antioxidant intake is beneficial to delay or inhibit the progression of this disease. Presently, Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors are the mainstay of therapy for AD. Quercetin, one of the flavonoids in fruits and vegetables, has a powerful … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPullout Characterizations of Various Steel Fibers Embedded in Very High-Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Toney Cummins, Brian ZornigProblem statement: There is a real need for a fundamental understanding of bond and bond mechanisms in the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) materials. The interfacial steel fiber/VHSC matrix bond tests are needed to characterize VHSC and to aid in the development of analytical models that describe bond behavior of this new material. Approach: This research investigated bond-slip characteristics of four … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreep predicting model in masonry structure utilizing dynamic neural networkMustafa M. Abed, A. El-Shafie, Siti Aminah Bt. OsmanProblem statement: When the loads are applied to a brickwork structure, visco-elastic behavior upon their stress-strain relationships is exhibited, where the response can be classified into two separate parts: an instantaneous elastic strains and time-dependent creep strains. The creep strain represents the non- instantaneous strain that happens with time when the stress is sustained. Through the previous century, along with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Membranes for the Recovery of Phenol Compounds-Experimental and Parameter Estimation StudiesG. Srinivasan, S. Sundaramoorthy, D.V.R. MurthyProblem statement: Reverse osmosis is increasingly used as a separation technique in chemical and environmental engineering for the removal of organics and organic pollutants present in waste water. The removal of an organic compound, namely phenol, using a polyamide membrane was investigated in this study. Waste water containing phenol present a serious environmental problem and increasing attention is being given … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomechanical Analysis of Ankle Force: A Case Study for Instep KickingA. R. Ismail, M. R.A. Mansor, M. F.M. Ali et al.Problem statement: The objective of this study was to identify, analyze and build the force equation that involved the velocity, acceleration, angle and distance at the ankle when making the instep kick. Approach: One subject which is a male national soccer player had been chosen as a subject for the study. The subject was selected from professional soccer player with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractServer Optimization Using Heuristic Algorithms for Dynamic-Split-and-Merge Scheme in Wireless MulticastR. Sukumar, V. VasudevanProblem statement: In order to minimize the overall network traffic in a multiserver system, the number of users served by each server (and hence the group size) should remain constant. As the underlying traffic fluctuates, a split and merge scheme is implemented in a physical server to achieve load balancing. Approach: Minimizing the number of servers during the merge operation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite

MohamedProblem statement: The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of using the neural network techniques in change detection of remotely sensed data. Approach: In addition, the tuning parameters of the network, such as encoding the output classes, adding the momentum term and learning rate, are investigated in order to achieve best network performance. Results: Neural network-based change … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Tunnel Boring Machine Advancement on the Bologna-Florence Railway LinkM. Cardu, P. Oreste, T. CicalaProblem statement: The high-velocity railway link between Bologna and Firenze (Italy) is today under construction and several tunnels have to be excavated for this purpose, some of these using TBMs. A small diameter tunnel, named Cunicolo ginori, was realized by TBM parallel to a large railway tunnel (Vaglia), at the distance of only 35 m. Approach: The Vaglia tunnel had … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Earthquake-Induced Crest Settlements of EmbankmentsRaghvendra Singh, Debasis RoyProblem statement: Freeboard requirement, a major consideration in the design of embankment dams, is controlled to a great extent by the crest settlements during earthquakes. Approach: The parameters that influence earthquake induced crest settlement had been studied using 152 published case histories on performance of embankment dams during earthquakes. Results: Based on the results a correlation had been proposed for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Characterisation using High-Resolution Signal Processing Based on Five-Port Techniques for Signal Input Multiple Output SystemsSmari Mouheddin, Bel hadj Taher JamelProblem statement: The development of wideband mobile communication systems requires a deep knowledge of the characteristics of the indoor mobile radio channel.
