Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential, Implications and Solutions Regarding the Use of Rendered Animal Fats in AquafeedsJesse T. Trushenski, Rebecca T. LochmannProblem statement: In the past, aquafeeds were comprised largely of fish meal and fish oil derived from marine reduction fisheries. In addition to being highly palatable and readily digested by cultured fishes, these feedstuffs were historically inexpensive sources of protein, energy and essential nutrients. However, increasing cost and concerns over safety and sustainability have greatly incentivized the transition from fish … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 13,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVibration Equations of Thick Rectangular Plates Using Mindlin Plate TheoryS. A. Sadrnejad, A. Saedi Daryan, M. ZiaeiProblem statement: Rectangular steel plates are widely used in various steel structures and steel industries. For a proper design of steel plate structures and efficient use of material, the behavior, strength, buckling and post-buckling characteristics of plates should be accurately determined. Approach: Considering the significance of this matter, lateral vibration of thick rectangular plates was studied on the basis of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,881 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Liquefaction Return Period for Bangalore Based on Standard Penetration Test Data: Performance Based ApproachK. S. Vipin, T. G. SitharamProblem statement: The conventional liquefaction evaluation is based on a deterministic approach. However in this method the uncertainty in the earthquake loading is not properly taken into account. However recent research in this field indicates that this uncertainty in the earthquake loading has to be considered in the liquefaction potential evaluation. Moreover the evaluation of liquefaction return period is not … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of Some Commercial Chemical Disinfectants on Salmonella enterica Serovar TyphimuriumEssam S. Soliman, E. G. Taha, M. A.A. Sobieh, P. G.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Quercetin on Diabetes-Induced Alteration in CYP3A Activity and Bioavailability of Pioglitazone in RatsSudhir Niranjan Umathe, Pankaj Vinod Dixit, Jignesh Manubhai Vaghasiya, Nishant Sudhir JainProblem statement: Quercetin-a common bioflavonoid, is present in herbal preparations consumed by diabetic patients along with routine anti-diabetic agents. We recently showed that quercetin increases the bioavailability of pioglitazone in non-diabetic rats. Thus, present study investigated whether this pharmacokinetic interaction is also evident in diabetic animals, especially because diabetic subjects have altered gastrointestinal (GI) function and CYP3A activity. Approach: The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,818 accessesView PDFCite
