Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Pathology of Alzheimer Disease Elicits an In Vivo Immunological ResponseDavid J. Bonda, Kate M. Webber, Sandra L. Siedlak et al.The mechanism(s) responsible for the loss of neurons that characterizes Alzheimer disease is incompletely understood. Nonetheless, there is considerable evidence suggestive of immune abnormalities coupled to alterations in blood-brain barrier permeability that likely play a key role in both the etiology and progression of the disease. To examine these issues further, this study was designed to examine the presence of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRange Image Segmentation by Randomized Region Growing and Bayesian Edge RegularizationSmaine Mazouzi, Mohamed BatoucheWe presented and evaluated a new Bayesian method for range image segmentation. The method proceeds in to stages. First, an initial segmentation was produced by a randomized region growing technique. The produced segmentation was considered as a degraded version of the ideal segmentation, which should be then refined. In the second stage, image pixels not labeled in the first stage … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison Between the New and the Old Versions of Jordan Seismic CodeM.A. MusmarThe study comes as a vital step to shed120 light upon the purport of the recently published version of Jordan Seismic code (JSC), and how the drawbacks of the old version are surpassed. The new JSC code oversteps the old provisions, in that input parameters now have pronounced and significant physical meanings. The study concludes that the conversion from service … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmissivity of Triangular Surfaces Determined by Differential Method: From Homogenization to Validity Limit of Geometrical OpticsTaoufik Ghabara, Faouzi Ghmari, M. S. SifaouiGeometric optics approximation for emissivity from triangular surfaces was compared with exact scattering predictions from electromagnetic theory. Rigorous electromagnetic scattering theory was numerically formulated based on the differential method. We have used a numerical simulation of the emissivity of gold and tungsten for a wavelength equal 0.55 micron to explore the validity of the geometric optics. Surface parameter domains for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegionalization Method for Nonlinear Differential Equation Systems In a Cartesian PlanBelaib LekhmissiWe propose a regionalization technique for analyzing nonlinear differential equation systems where coefficients are standard and nonzero. The present work starts with the study of a natural object which was the magic squares providing us with a new way to partition the plan in regions. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of DNA Polymorphism at the Apolipoprotein B-100 Gene Locus with Plasma Lipid Concentration and Coronary Artery Disease among North IndiansVivek Pratap Singh, V. Ramesh, Sonal Somvanshi et al.The aim of this study was to investigate the association between apolipoprotein B gene polymorphisms and coronary artery disease and lipid levels in north Indians. Two hundred patients of angiographically proven atherosclerotic CAD and two hundred age and sex matched control subjects were included in the study. Serum lipids including cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL and ApoB were analyzed. PCR … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Hot Strip Rolling Force Prediction using a Bayesian Trained Artificial Neural Network and Analytical ModelsAbdelkrim Moussaoui, Yacine Selaimia, Hadj A. AbbassiThe authors discuss the combination of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with analytical models to improve the performance of the prediction model of finishing rolling force in hot strip rolling mill process. The suggested model was implemented using Bayesian Evidence based training algorithm. It was found that the Bayesian Evidence based approach provided a superior and smoother fit to the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Application of Electrochemical Impedance Techniques in Analyzing the AC Response of Some Two-electron Transfer Dye SystemsFarouk RashwanThe Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic techniques (EIS) were used to investigate the behavior of some dye compounds (quinoid systems) characterized with 2e-transfer processes. For this purpose, Alizarin Red S (ARS), Alizarin Cyanine (AC), Alizarin Viridin (AV) and carminic acid were chosen for the measurements. The EIS experiments were performed using a small AC amplitude (10 mV p-p) in addition to a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Absorption Coefficients and Thermal Diffusivity of Modulated Doped GaAlAs/GaAs Heterostructure by Photothermal Deflection SpectroscopyS. Aloulou, M. Fathallah, M. Oueslati, A. SfaxiWe report in this study theoretical and experimental studies of photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) for planar doped heterostructures AlGaAs/GaAs. The PDS spectra at T=300K are recorded by varying the wavelength of the excited radiation for different modulation frequencies. They show two different regions related to the fundamental electronic transitions from GaAs and Si doped AlGaAs. The DX levels have been … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,262 accessesView PDFCite
