Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMomordica balsamina Fruit Extracts Enhances Selected Aspects of the Insulin Synthesis/Secretion PathwayAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Leshweni Jerry Shai, Motetelo Alfred MogalePrevious studies have suggested that crude plant extracts of the anti-diabetic medicinal plant, Momordica balsamina (MB) may exert their anti-diabetic effect through either enhancement of insulin sensitivity or inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption. However, the effects of these MB extracts on insulin synthesis and secretion are not well documented in the literature. Therefore, a main purpose of the current research … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2020 · 6,999 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Aspects Related to DronesRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuDrones developed very quickly and today have come to conquer airspace even more than conventional aviation. Whether they are unmanned or with a crew, whether they are on autopilot, usually remotely coordinated, or remote-controlled or even manned, drones in their diversity today have taken on a very large scale and they will surely develop rapidly and further, being the ones … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2020 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of the Artificial Neural Networks Options Pricing Model Under Constant and Time-Variant VolatilitiesHanningtone Meshack Simiyu, Anthony Gichuhi Waititu, Jane Aduda AkinyiOption pricing using artificial neural networks (ANN) model while relaxing the assumption of constant volatility still remains a challenge. The conventional practice for pure ANN models has been to either model volatility using the very ANN model and have the model output fed as an input to the ANN option pricing model, or to make allowances for a large number … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 20 Jul 2019 · 7,010 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Section Optimization of Sandwich-Type Cylindrical Wind Turbine TowersStylianos M. Vernardos, Charis J. GantesAs wind energy is aggressively expanding within the alternative sources' part of modern world's energy pie, the need of addressing various obstacles that limit further wind utilization becomes all the more urgent. From a structural engineering point of view, surmounting the tower-base diameter limitation, dictated by the current transportation capabilities, is one of the industry's primary issues. The concept presented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractItems and Generalizations: Evidence from Decir within the Family of Subjective-Transitive Constructions in SpanishFrancisco Gonzálvez-GarcíaThis paper explores the existence of a continuum between regular, productive, conventional configurations and fixed, idiosyncratic and novel configurations within the full gamut of instances of secondary predication with decir ('say') and verba dicendi in present-day Spanish. Drawing on Cognitive Construction Grammar, it is argued that instances of the secondary predication with these verbs can be aptly regarded as forming … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 28 Jul 2015 · 8,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Dynamic Simulation of a Combined System Integration Concentrating Photovoltaic/Thermal Solar Collectors and Organic Rankine CycleFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Maria Vicidomini et al.This study presents the design of a novel ultra-high efficient solar power system. The system is equipped with a concentrating PhotoVoltaic/Thermal (CPVT) solar collectors bottomed by an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The basic idea is to use a high temperature CPVT device producing simultaneously electricity and hot diathermic oil. Then, this hot fluid is used to supply heat to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2015 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE RURAL TOURISM AS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY OR FARMS. THE CASE OF DIRECT SALES IN SICILYFilippo Sgroi, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaTourism has an important role modifying rural communities in their environmental, economic, social and cultural structures, processes and dynamics. In this context rural tourism plays a primary role because it is not the rural product that reaches the consumer in the purchase point, but it is the consumer (tourist) that has to move towards tourist destination to enjoy the product. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Jun 2014 · 8,164 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL ARTIFICIAL HYDROCARBON NETWORKS BASED SPACE VECTOR PULSE WIDTH MODULATION CONTROLLER FOR INDUCTION MOTORSHiram Ponce, Luis Ibarra, Pedro Ponce, Arturo MolinaMost of machine-operated industrial processes implement electric machinery as their work sources, implying the necessary improvement of control techniques and power electronics drivers. Many years have passed since the control conflicts related to induction motors have been overcome through torque-flux control techniques so their advantages over direct current motors have made them to be the most common electric actuator found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 26 Feb 2014 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgent and Radio Frequency Identification Based Architecture for Supermarket Information SystemHasan Al-SakranIn recent years the acceptance of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in business environments has been increasing rapidly due to its competitive business value. Adopting a suitable RFID-based information system has become increasingly important for supermarkets. However, most supermarkets still use conventional barcode-based systems to manage their information processes, which are consistently reported as one of the most unenthusiastic aspects … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 1 Jun 2013 · 6,742 accessesView PDFCite
