Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong-Term Changes in Mangrove Landscape of the Niger River Delta, NigeriaPing Wang, Aroloye O. Numbere, Gerardo R. CamiloThe Niger Delta mangrove is the third largest in the world and the largest in Africa. Since the 1960s oil and gas exploration has become an important economic activity, resulting in significant alteration of the landscape via pollution, urbanization and invasion. Landsat images of six different years (1984, 1986, 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2007) were used to determine land cover … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Jun 2016 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Land Use and Land Cover Effects on Water Quality in Cheung Ek Lake using ASTER ImagesNara Im, Kensuke Kawamura, Endan Suwandana, Yuji SakunoCheung Ek Lake is the biggest natural treatment plant for nearly 80% of wastewater and storm-water from Phnom Penh city. Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes of the lake and its catchment area could deteriorate capacity of the lake in purifying wastewater and affect to its water quality. The study aims to assess the relationship between LULC changes and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2015 · 8,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMODELING OF FUTURE LAND COVER LAND USE CHANGE IN NORTH CAROLINA USING MARKOV CHAIN AND CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODELSayem M. Zaman, Manoj K. JhaState wide variant topographic features in North Carolina attract the hydro-climatologist. There is none modeling study found that predict future Land Cover Land Use (LCLU) change for whole North Carolina. In this study, satellite-derived land cover maps of year 1992, 2001 and 2006 of North Carolina were integrated within the framework of the Markov-Cellular Automata (Markov-CA) model which combines the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 23 Aug 2014 · 8,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLike an Invertebrate Primitive AntibodyMichel LeclercSpecific immune responses occur in an invertebrate: The sea star Asterias rubens. Sea star T and B lymphocytes are present in the axial organ and coopere with phagocytes and Complement components to produce a primitive antibody correlated to Igkappa genes and to complement genes: It could be composed of 4 kappa chains and present strong and highly significant homologies to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2013 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplement Genes in the Asterids Comparisons with the Echinids (Echinoderma)Michel LeclercThe axial organ of the sea star Asterias rubens (Asterid) is a primitive immune organ. The B-like cells, when stimulated by various antigens, produce antibody substances correlating with ig kappa genes. On the other hand, component complement genes were found. For each component, one or several contigs were analysed. It is said that Asterias forbesi, another sea-star, in earlier results, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2013 · 7,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Spatial Distribution of Apis Dorsata Host Plants Using an Integrated Geographical Information System-Remote Sensing ApproachIzzat F. Ibrahim, Siva K. Balasundram, Nur-Ashikin P. Abdullah et al.Apis dorsata is one of the important honeybee species in tropical and subtropical regions that forages on various plants including herbs, grasses, forest trees and plantation trees. However, information on the spatial distribution of various pollen sources of Apis dorsata is still lacking. This study aimed at mapping the spatial distribution of the major honeybee plants that serve as pollen … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInnate and Adaptative Immunity in the Sea-Star Asterias RubensMichel LeclercThe axial organ of the sea star Asterias rubens is a primitive immune organ. The B-like cells, when stimulated by various antigens, produce antibody substances correlating with Mouse Ig Kappa genes. On the other hand elements of the innate immunity are present in Asterias rubens such as Toll-like receptors, interleukin receptors, complement components which contribute to initiate the «antibody factor». …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 1 Sep 2012 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Multi Spectral Band Image Compression using Discrete Wavelet TransformR. Kousalyadevi, S. S. RamakrishnanProblem statement: Efficient and effective utilization of transmission bandwidth and storage capacity have been a core area of research for remote sensing images. Hence image compression is required for multi-band satellite imagery. In addition, image quality is also an important factor after compression and reconstruction. Approach: In this investigation, the discrete wavelet transform is used to compress the Landsat5 agriculture … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Theoretical and Practical Education of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Manipulation for Dental StudentsE. Farokh Gisour, M. Hashemi PourProblem statement: The aim was to find out whether undergraduate students in Iranian dental schools were taught about and used clinically Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Approach: Iranian senior dentistry students (487) were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. A questioner was prepared which contained personal questions in addition to theoretical and practical information about the use of MTA in senior dentistry … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2011 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Pathology of Alzheimer Disease Elicits an In Vivo Immunological ResponseDavid J. Bonda, Kate M. Webber, Sandra L. Siedlak et al.The mechanism(s) responsible for the loss of neurons that characterizes Alzheimer disease is incompletely understood. Nonetheless, there is considerable evidence suggestive of immune abnormalities coupled to alterations in blood-brain barrier permeability that likely play a key role in both the etiology and progression of the disease. To examine these issues further, this study was designed to examine the presence of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,115 accessesView PDFCite
