Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugar Beet Performance Affected by Uniformity of N FertigationH. Nouri, M. S.M. Amin, S. J. Razavi et al.In common with the majority of crop species, in sugar beet nutrition nitrogen is an important element due to its role in sucrose utilization and plant growth. Application of precision agriculture, in order to apply the right amount of input at the right time in the right area, is appropriate to decrease chemical use and increase plant growth. Problem statement: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReproductive Toxicology of Tartrazine (FD and C Yellow No. 5) in Swiss Albino MiceN. Mehedi, S. Ainad-Tabet, N. Mokrane et al.Problem statement: Tartrazine (FD and C Yellow No. 5) is an orange-colored widely used in food products, drugs and cosmetics. This color has a potential toxicological risk. The current study evaluated the effect of sub-chronic consumption of tartrazine on the male reproductive system. Approach: Tartrazine was administered to adult male mice in drinking water at doses of 0, 0.1, 1 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 10,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteger Factorization: Solution via Algorithm for Constrained Discrete Logarithm ProblemBoris S. VerkhovskyProblem statement: During the last thirty years many public-key cryptographic protocols based on either the complexity of integer factorization of large semiprimes or the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) have been developed. Approach: Although several factorization algorithms with sub-exponential complexity have been discovered, the recent RSA Factoring Challenge demonstrated that it was still necessary to use several thousand computers working in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Dec 2009 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Social Capital of the Silver Ornaments in Northeastern, ThailandWarit Witsrutwait, Songkhoon Chantachon, Penchan Kriengkrisuk et al.Problem statement: The silver ornaments is the well known handicraft for Chum Chon Ban Choke, Tambon Khawao Sinrin, Amphoe Khawao Sinrin and Surin province. The study of social capital concerning silver ornaments at Ban Choke community, the Khmer ethnic focused on the low quality of the making the silver ornaments. The silver craftsmen earned less income because the capital productions … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Stripping Frequency on Semen Quality of Endangered Caspian Brown Trout, Salmo trutta caspiusSaeed Hajirezaee, Bagher Mojazi Amiri, Ali Reza MirvaghefiProblem statement: Because of dramatic declines in stocks of endangered Caspian brown trout males, Salmo trutta caspius in Caspian Sea, each male brooder is stripped indispensably more than once during the spawning season in other to artificial insemination in hatchery. The aim of the present study was to assay the changes of indicators of semen quality (sperm motility, sperm production, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroelectrical Mechanical Systems Switch for Designing Multi-Band AntennaA.H.M. Zahirul Alam, Md. Rafiqul Islam, Sheroz Khan, Muhammad Mahbubur RashidProblem statement: In this study Microelectrical Mechanical System (MEMS) switches were proposed to design a reconfigurable/multi-band antenna to replaced PIN diode switches or semiconductor switches due to lower insertion losses, good isolation, much lower intermodulation distortion, and lower power consumption. The antenna is able to operate at very high frequencies. Approach: A reconfigurable antenna that is capable to operate at … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Quercetin on Diabetes-Induced Alteration in CYP3A Activity and Bioavailability of Pioglitazone in RatsSudhir Niranjan Umathe, Pankaj Vinod Dixit, Jignesh Manubhai Vaghasiya, Nishant Sudhir JainProblem statement: Quercetin-a common bioflavonoid, is present in herbal preparations consumed by diabetic patients along with routine anti-diabetic agents. We recently showed that quercetin increases the bioavailability of pioglitazone in non-diabetic rats. Thus, present study investigated whether this pharmacokinetic interaction is also evident in diabetic animals, especially because diabetic subjects have altered gastrointestinal (GI) function and CYP3A activity. Approach: The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,819 accessesView PDFCite
