Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Computer Simulation Model for Automated Quantification of Luteinizing Hormone SecretionAyman Al-Nsour, Hamza A. Ali, Buthynna Al-Dulaimi, Wisam H. Al-SewadiProblem statement: An automated software package is developed for quantifying Luteinizing Hormone (LH) release from pituitary gonadotropes in response to short pulses of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH). Approach: These computer programs were designed to accommodate the release mechanism that consists of three stages, namely; (1) Production of different concentrations of effectors (such as receptor-hormone binds, G protein interactions, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate IP3), … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,938 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimple Method of Purifying Humic Acids Isolated from Tropical Hemists (Peat Soil)Susilawati Kasim, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohd Khanif YusopThe objectives of this study were: To investigate whether a purification period of HA isolated from Hemists peat soils could be reduced and to investigate whether distilled water could be used to purify HA isolated from Hemists peat soils. Standard procedures were used to extract and fractionate HA in a Hemists peat soil. The isolated HA was purified by suspending … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,151 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWorking Memory Learning Method and Astrocytes Number in Different Subfields of Rat's HippocampusJahanshahi Mehrdad, Sadeghi Yousef, Hosseini Ahmad et al.The aim of this study was evaluation of the astrocytes number in different subfields of rat's Hippocampus after spatial learning with usage of Morris Water Maze technique and working memory method. In this study, between 2005-2006 years in Pasteur institute of Iran-Tehran and histological department of Gorgan University with usage of Morris Water Maze and working memory technique, we used … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,980 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Solution Chemicals after Tannery Effluents DisposalCélia A. Surita, Thomas Gloaguen, Célia R. Montes, Carlos T.S. DiasKnowledge about soil solution chemicals is important for assessing their mobility, availability, migration to groundwater and toxicity to plants. The objective of this study was to apply factor analysis to data obtained on soil solution chemicals during a one-year monitoring program in a controlled experiment with tannery effluents disposed on the soil surface, to extract information on their relationship and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,772 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCardiovascular Effect of Capparis spinosa Aqueous Extract. Part VI: in vitro Vasorelaxant EffectN. A. Zeggwagh, J. B. Michel, M. EddouksThe aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro vasorelaxanteffect of Capparis spinosa aqueous extract (CSAE) at a dose of 10 mg mL-1. Aortic rings isolated from normal wistar rats were used. The addition of CSAE during the plateau phase of contraction, induced by noradrenaline and KCl, produced a rapid relaxation. Incubation of aortic ring with CSAE during … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,444 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Hydroxyapatite-Polyacrylic Acid Composites Under Simulated Body FluidKalpana S. Katti, Phanikumar Turlapati, Devendra Verma et al.In this work, we have investigated mechanical response of hydroxyapatite/polyacrylic composites under dry, wet and simulated body fluid conditions. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is mineralized under two conditions; one, in presence of polyacrylic acid (in situ HAP), second, in absence of polyacrylic acid (ex situ HAP). Further, in situ and ex situ HAP are mixed with polyacrylic acid to make HAP/PAAc composites. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,395 accessesView PDF Cite
