Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMoringa Oleifera Lam Mitigates Oxidative Damage and Brain Infarct Volume in Focal Cerebral IschemiaWoranan Kirisattayakul, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Terdthai Tong-Un et al.Problem statement: At present, the therapeutic outcome of cerebral ischemia is still not in the satisfaction level. Therefore, the preventive strategy is considered. Based on the protective effect against oxidative damage of Moringa oleifera Lam. Leaves extract, we hypothesized that this plant extract might protect against cerebral ischemia, one of the challenge problems nowadays. In order to test this hypothesis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 3 Aug 2012 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdhesion and Hardness Evaluation of Modified Silicone-Dammar as Natural Coating MaterialsR. Zakaria, A. H. AhmadProblem statement: Dammar is a natural resin that used anciently in varnish production. The use of dammar natural resin in coating is limited by undesirable properties for application in coating where it is considered very brittle. Due to dammar's brittle nature, an aged dammar coating can be easily scratched or abraded. Approach: Dammar natural resin could be modified into Silicone-Dammar … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 20 Mar 2012 · 7,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleZinc Phosphide Induced DNA Damage in the Blood Cells of Gallus sp. using Comet DNA AssayK. A. Muid, R. M. Shahjahan, R. Begum, R. A. BegumProblem statement: The comet DNA assay is considered a suitable and rapid test for DNA-damaging potential in environmental and biomonitoring studies. Approach: During the study comets were analyzed as a measure of DNA damage to quantify the damage in the blood cells of fowls (Gallus sp.) after exposure to Zinc Phosphide (Zn3P2). Here the potential for DNA strand breaks by … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2012 · 8,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTermite Damage to Buildings: Nature of Attacks and Preventive Construction MethodsAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: Termites are an essential member of the soil ecosystem and are found throughout the world. In their natural environment, they improve soil pH, organic carbon content, water content and porosity by cycling dead organics. However, they can negatively impact human welfare by causing damage to unprotected timber structures, underground cables, earthen dams, irrigation ditches and farming equipment. Globally, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 26,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDamage Pattern and Nesting Characteristic of Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Oil Palm on PeatWei-Hong Lau, Choon-Fah J. Bong, Seow-Phan ChanThe oil palm industry of Malaysia has expanded into peat area in Sarawak. Problem statement: The subterranean termite Coptotermes curvignathus was a serious pest of oil palm on peat. Control of this termite has resorted to heavy usage of chemicals which was deemed uneconomical and hostile to the environment. Baiting system has inconsistent success due to the limited knowledge of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIntegrity Classification Algorithm of Images obtained from Impact Damaged Composite StructuresMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Many NDT systems used for damage detection in composites are difficult to apply to complex geometric structures, also, they are time-consuming. As a solution to the problems associated with NDT applications, an intelligent analysis system that supports a portable testing environment, which allowed various types of inputs and provided sufficient data regarding level of damage in a tested … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Assessment of Compressive Size Effect of Plane Concrete Using Combination of Micro-Plane Damage Based Model and 3D Finite Elements ApproachM. Labibzadeh, S. A. Sadrnejad, M. NaisipourIn recent years, the material behavior dependence of laboratory concrete specimens built with the same concrete mixture under the same load conditions to their geometrical sizes is well established. This phenomenon which is observed not only in concrete but also in most quasi-brittle materials such as rock, ceramic or composite materials is now called as size effect. Many of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCrack Analysis of Concrete Arch Dams Using Micro-Planes Damage Based Constitutive RelationsM. Labibzadeh, S.A. SadrnejadAmong the various numerical simulating models of plane concrete, the micro-planes models have an excellent position.
