Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Hormetic Behaviour of Drugs Binding to Different Redox States of Amine Oxidase EnzymesDeepak Narang, G. Reid McDonald, David J. Smith et al.Classical monoamine oxidases and copper-containing semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidases are drug targets for a variety of established and novel pharmaceuticals used to treat conditions such as depression, Parkinsonism and inflammatory disorders. Development of enzyme inhibitors, both historically and currently, assumes an underlying adherence of these enzymes to Michaelis-Menten kinetic principles. In this mini-review, we discuss historical data from several laboratories and … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic and Non-Hormetic Dose-Response Functions in Stress Effects on Memory and Synaptic Plasticity: Issues and MechanismsPhillip R. Zoladz, David M. DiamondOver a century of behavioral research has shown that stress can exert both positive and negative effects on memory. We have explored the idea that the complex effects of stress on learning and memory can be characterized by hormetic- and non-hormetic dose-response functions, in which stress may either stimulate or impair brain memory mechanisms, depending, in part, on the timing … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClosed Die Forging Geometrical Parameters Optimization for Al-MMCM. Jolgaf, S.B. Sulaiman, M.K.A Ariffin, A.A. FaiezaDemand for lighter and stiffer products has been increasing in the last few years especially in automobile manufacturing. The closed die forging process of Metal Matrix Material (MMC) is presented as possible solution, since it produces parts with good mechanical properties and lighter weight. A computational modeling of closed die forging process using finite element method and optimization techniques makes … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishment and Evaluation of the Vegetative Community in A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC.C. Galbrand, A.M. Snow, A.E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA surface flow constructed wetland, designed to curve in a kidney shape in order to increase the length to width ratio to 5:1 was used to treat runoff from an industrial park. A natural wetland system located approximately 200 m downstream of the constructed wetland was selected to act as the vegetative community model for the constructed wetland. The selected … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of a Capacitance-Based Tactile Sensor with Biomedical ApplicationsAli Tavakoli Golpaygani, Siamak Najarian, M. Mehdi Movahedi, Goldis Darb EmamiehThe design, modeling, and testing of a flexible tactile sensor and its applications are presented. This sensor is made of polymer materials and can detect the 2D surface texture image and contact-force estimation. The sensing mechanism is based on the novel contact deflection effect of a membrane. We measure the amount of membrane deflection with measuring the change of capacitance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Permanent Deformation of Pavement's Unbounded Layers Based on Cyclic Triaxial TestsB. ŽlenderThis research presents an analytical model for determining permanent deformation of pavement's sub-grade and unbound granular base and sub-base material due to cyclic traffic loading. The model is given for interpreting results of repeated load triaxial tests. It considers long term elastoplastic behavior and resilient behavior of sub-grade and unbound granular material. Permanent deformations are expressed as a function of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOld and Modern Construction Materials In Yemen: The Effect In Building Construction In Sana’aISSA A.M. Al_Kahtani, Suhaib Y.K. Al-DarziSana’a city in Yemen is one of the oldest cities in the worlds, which has different forms of building built with different types of materials. In the present work, the old and new forms of building construction and the building materials used in Sana’a, the sources available for the new material, the effects of new material usage on building forms … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,296 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Fabrication, and Testing of a Membrane Piezoelectric Tactile Sensor with Four Sensing ElementsAshkan Mirbagheri, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheWe presented design, fabrication, and testing of a novel membrane tactile sensing system with only four sensing elements. By using membrane stress combined with triangulation approach, it was possible to overcome the problems such as cross-talk between sensing elements, fragility, and complexity. The fabrication of the sensing elements performed using photolithographic and etching techniques. Position, orientation, and magnitude of applied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,072 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIF-THEN Adder Application in Online DALUT ImplementationMohamed Al Mahdi Eshtawie, Masuri OthmanThis paper presents the application of a proposed if-then rule based adder in implementing distributed arithmetic online lookup table (DALUT). The online DALUT development and implementation is a continuation of our previous work where we proposed this idea and use it in designing finite impulse (FIR) filter. In our LUT architecture we have been able to overcome the major disadvantage … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
