Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Ultra-Miniaturized Inertial Measurement Unit for Jaw Movement Analysis during Free ChewingZhuohua Lin, Massimiliano Zecca, Salvatore Sessa et al.Problem statement: Jaw movement analysis, as a clinical aid, can provide an objective basis for understanding and diagnosing jaw musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, the use and development of devices for quantitatively measuring and analyzing jaw movement have become more common and popular in the clinic. Many types of jaw tracking devices have been developed, but most of them are still not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Organotin(IV) Complexes Derived of 2-amino-5-nitrobenzoic Acid: In vitro Antibacterial Screening ActivityYip-Foo Win, Siang-Guan Teoh, M. R. Vikneswaran et al.Problem statement: Tremendous studies have been carried out on organotin(IV) complexes derivatives of carboxylate anions. However, the synthesis and characterization as well as the in vitro antibacterial screening activity of organotin(IV) carboxylate derived of 2-amino-5-nitrobenzoic acid have not been carried out. Approach: Organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes derivative of 2-amino-5-nitrobenzoic acid, 2-NH2-5-NO2-C6H3COOH have been successfully synthesized. The acid and complexes obtained were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,797 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplexity in Human Perception of Brightness: A Historical Review on the Evolution of the Philosophy of Visual PerceptionKuntal Ghosh, Kamales BhaumikProblem statement: The “eye-brain” complex, which contributes maximally to visual perception, is no doubt a very interesting object for complexity study. In this review we shall try to present some of its aspects in perceiving brightness. It is a well-known fact that the perceived brightness of any surface depends on the brightness of the surfaces that surround it, a phenomenon … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimum and Complete Fluidization Velocity for Sand-Palm Shell Mixtures, Part II: Characteristic Velocity Profiles, Critical Loading and Binary CorrelationsV. S. Chok, A. Gorin, H. B. ChuaProblem statement: In Part I of this research, the main features of the fluidization behavior and characteristic velocities had been reported. Approach: In the present research, the mixtures characteristic velocity profiles for various sand sizes, palm shell sizes and weight percents were presented. It was recognized that there are instances where the characteristic values remain nearly unchanged from its pure … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Organotin(IV) Complexes Derived of 3-(Dimethylamino)benzoic Acid: Cytotoxic Assay on Human Liver Carcinoma Cells (HepG2)Yip-Foo Win, Siang-Guan Teoh, Tengku-Sifzizul Tengku-Muhammad et al.Problem statement: Many studies have been carried out on organotin(IV) complexes derivative of carboxylate anions. However, the synthesis and characterization as well as the cytotoxic assay of organotin(IV) carboxylate derived of 3-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid have not been studied. Approach: Organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes derivative of 3-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid, 3-[N(CH3)2]C6H4COOH have been successfully synthesized. Two types of diorganotin(IV) complexes, [{3-[N(CH3)2]C6H4COO(R)2Sn}2O]2 dimer (R = methyl … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEconomic Efficiency Analysis for Information Technology in Developing CountriesGhassan F. Issa, Shakir M. Hussain, Hussein Al-BahadiliProblem statement: The introduction of Information Technology (IT) to government institutions in developing countries bears a great deal of risk of failure. The lack of qualified personnel, lack of financial support and the lack of planning and proper justification are just few of the causes of projects failure. Study presented in this study focused on the justification issue of IT … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 30 Oct 2009 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Color Indexing: An Efficient and Robust Technique for Content-Based Image RetrievalRachid Alaoui, Said Ouatik El Alaoui, Mohammed MeknassiProblem statement: Color Histogram is admitted as a useful representation of features because it is a statistical result and possesses the merits of simplicity, robustness and efficiency. However, the main problem with color histogram indexing is that it doesn't take into account the spatial information. Previous researches have proved that the effectiveness of image retrieval increases when spatial feature of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Interplay between p53 and p21 Tumor Suppressor Proteins in the Transformation of Colorectal Adenoma to CarcinomaA.S. Abdulamir, R.R. Hafidh, L.K. Mahdi et al.This study was carried out for evaluating the interplay of p53, p21 and Ki-67 proteins along the colorectal adenoma-carcinoma oncogenic transformation sequel. Therefore, Fifty colorectal cancer and 14 adenoma patients were involved. The histopathological expression of p53, p21 and Ki-67 proteins was evaluated by immunohistochemistry assay. The results revealed that remarkable overexpression of p53 protein was seen in the tumorous … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCancer may be caused by the Immune ReactionRichmond T. PrehnHormesis-like effects of immunity have been documented during tumor-growth experiments in mice, quantitatively large immune-reactions have inhibited while lesser quantities of the same specific immune-reactants have been stimulatory to the growth of implanted tumors. Likewise, carcinogenesis has been inhibited by a high quantities of immune reactants, but positively stimulated by lower levels of the same reactants. One observation suggests that … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInformatics and Physics Models of Recognitions of DNA Replication and Their Biological ApplicationsKang Cheng, Chang Hua ZouWe initially propose concepts of Informative Intensity, Informative Response Intensity and Informative Flux, with different expressions. In a special expression of electrostatics, we describe Informative Intensity, Informative Response Intensity and Informative Flux in terms of electric field intensity, electric field force and electric field flux respectively. In a special expression of quantum mechanics, we originally propose a concept of Probability … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,869 accessesView PDFCite
