Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation of Anaerobic Digester Effluent for Water Purification and Production of Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, H.A. FaragThe application of phytoremediation for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops was investigated. Four crops (two cereals and two grasses) were examined for their ability to grow hydroponically and to remove pollutants (nutrients) from dairy wastewater. The preliminary experiments showed that timothygrass and orchardgrass did not perform well as aquatic plants. Only 24 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,201 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous ClusterNeeraj Nehra, R. B. Patel, V. K. BhatDistributed Dynamic load balancing (DDLB) is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to improve throughput and/or execution times of parallel computer in Cluster Computing. Instead of balancing the load in cluster by process migration, or by moving an entire process to a less loaded computer, we make an attempt to balance load by splitting processes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 8,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPacked Forest Chart ParserQi Haoliang, Li Sheng, Yang Muyun, Zhao TiejunPacked forest chart parser, like the traditional chart parsing algorithm, uses charts to store all the information produced while parsing to avoid redundant works. Its advantage over the traditional chart parser was the packed forest representation. The algorithm not only shares the non-terminal categories as what was done in the shared parse forest, but also shares the leftmost common elements. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Sucrose in the Development of Oral Biofilm in a Simulated Mouth SystemWan Nordini Hasnor Wan Ismail, Fathilah Abdul Razak, Zubaidah Hj Abdul RahimThe development of oral biofilm consisting of early settlers and late settlers in the presence and absence of sucrose using a simulated mouth model was investigated. The experiments were carried out by growing the early settlers’ biofilm consisting of Strep. mitis and Strep. sanguinis and late settlers’ biofilm of Strep. mutans in the simulated mouth system. Experiments using three different … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Route Re-Construction Method for Associativity Based Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET)Fawaz A.M. Masoud, Said A. Shaar, Ayman Murad, Ghassan KanaanA mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is wireless network composed of mobile nodes that are dynamically and randomly located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used to discover routes between nodes. The primary goal of such an ad-hoc … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,542 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 abstractImmunological Evidence for Peptide-Carbohydrate Mimicry with a Group A Streptococcus Polysaccharide-Mimetic PeptideSilvia Borrelli, Rehana B. Hossany, Susan Findlay, B. Mario PintoThe immunogenicity of a peptide-protein conjugate developed by linking a peptide mimic DRPVPY of the Group A Streptococcus cell-wall polysaccharide (GAS-CWPS), to tetanus toxoid (TT) was examined. BALB/c mice were immunized three times subcutaneously following homologous or heterologous prime/boost strategies at 4- or 6- week intervals in two different experiments. DRPVPY-TT, CWPS-TT, heat-killed, pepsin-treated GAS bacteria (with exposed polysaccharide) and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntagonism Between Chlorpyrifos and Flaxedil in Toad and Earthworm Neuromuscular TransmissionYong-Chiang Chang, Amauri B. Bartoszeck, Samir A. Madeira, Charles I. AbramsonThe cholinesterase inhibition effect of chlorpyrifos, a commercial insecticide, was tested by its antagonism to the acetylcholine inhibition effect of flaxedil in 30 isolated nerve-sartorius muscle preparations of the toad, compared with its antagonism in 30 isolated nerve cord-body wall muscle preparations of the earthworm. Inhibition and facilitation in this antagonism were measured by changes in depolarizing rate of toad … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehaviour Patterns of the Pine Processionary Moth (Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni Tams; Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae)Ahmad Houri, Dany DoughanThaumetopoea wilkinsoni is a serious pest of pine trees, especially the wide-spread Pinus brutia. This infestation has a significant economic impact both in the loss of forest wood growth and in medical expenses for treating related human diseases. This paper presents a detailed study of the behaviour patterns of the moth stage in an attempt to identify best control methods. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 8,695 accessesView PDFCite
