Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAlcohol Consumption and its Correlates Among Residents of Mining Town, Kitwe, Zambia: 2011 Population Based SurveyCosmas Zyaambo, Olusegun Babaniyi, Peter Songolo et al.Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, liver cirrhosis and cancers. It has also been associated with risky sexual behaviors, hence, attributed as a factor in the increase of HIV incidence and prevalence. A cross sectional study was conducted using a modified World Health Organizations Global Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) Surveillance Initiative NCD-STEPs 1and … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2013 · 8,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImatinib Mesylate Inhibits Glucose Uptake in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Cells by Downregulation of the Glucose Transporters Recruitment to the Plasma MembraneHans Prenen, Cristiana Stefan, Bart Landuyt et al.Imatinib mesylate, the inhibitor of the KIT protein tyrosine kinase that is constitutively activated in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs), has been established as the first highly effective drug in the treatment of patients with advanced GISTs. Recent studies suggest that changes in the glucose metabolism could be an additional mechanism of the anti-proliferative action of imatinib. The aim of this … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of the use of Polyurethane Residue Aggregated to the Plaster of Civil ConstructionGuilherme Moraes de Oliveira, Vittória Caroline Souza dos Santos, José de Souza, Tatiana Louise Ávila C. RochaThe study deals with the reuse of Polyurethane (PU) obtained from a kitchen sponge added to plaster for use in civil engineering. The kitchen sponge is an item widely used by the population in their daily lives, generating a significant accumulation of waste. Thus, from the analysis of the properties of the kitchen sponge, it was seeking possible reuse of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2019 · 7,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Review of Integrated River Basin Management for Sarawak RiverKuok King Kuok, Sobri Harun, Po-Chan ChiuProblem statement: Sarawak River was a life-sustaining water source for the residents in Kuching City and surrounding areas. Raw water is treated at Batu Kitang Water Treatment Plant (BKWTP) that supplies more than 98% of the total water production in Kuching City. The raw water supply to BKWTP is not adequate to meet the ever increasing water demand. In order … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2011 · 9,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermination of Kinetic Parameters of a Super Heavy Chisel Plow Under Various Operating ConditionsS. A. Al-Suhaibani, A. Al-Janobi, A. E. GhalyProblem statement: Tillage is a process of creating a desirable soil condition for seed germination and growth. The tillage of soil is considered to be one of the biggest farm operations as the tillage operation requires the most energy on the farm. Chisel plow is widely used by farmers as a primary tillage tool. Performance data for chisel plow operation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Empirical Study on E-Learning versus Traditional Learning among Electronics Engineering StudentsWai Kit Wong, Poh Kiat NgIn academia, it appears that many lecturers are still contented in using traditional lecturing methods. Cultivating the use of e-learning requires proper understanding of its difference with traditional learning. In this study, the difference between e-learning with traditional learning was descriptively and empirically investigated, with an emphasis on a module in Electronics Engineering known as Fundamentals of Operational Amplifier. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 27 Jun 2016 · 8,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDevelopment, Polymorphism and Cross-Species Transferability of Genomic SSR Markers in Duabanga Moluccana, an Indigenous Tree Species from SarawakKit-Siong Liew, Wei-Seng Ho, Shek-Ling Pang, Julaihi AbdullahIn this study, we used ISSR-suppression methods to develop a set of SSR markers for Duabanga moluccana. It is an indigenous fast growing tropical tree species. A total of 44 SSR regions were identified and specific primer pairs were designed. The SSR motifs contained perfect compound with 24 (54.5%) occurrences, followed by the imperfect compounds with 8 (18.2%), simple perfect … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2016 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesRice Grain Moisture Determination Using Microstrip Wide-Ring and Microstrip Coupled-Line SensorsHou Kit Mun, Kok Yeow You, Mohamad Ngasri DimonDetermining the Moisture Content (MC) inside rice grain is an important element for grain processesing such as harvesting, storage, quality control and transportation. A microstrip wide-ring sensor and a microstrip coupled-line sensor with low insertion loss were developed to operate at relatively low frequency to determine the MC and relative complex permittivity of rice grain. The complex permittivity for rice … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2015 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
