Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-hyperglycaemic and Anti-obesity Effects of Capparis spinosa and Chamaemelum nobile Aqueous Extracts in HFD MiceA. Lemhadri, Mohamed Eddouks, Thierry Sulpice, Remy BurcelinThis study was undertaken in order to evaluate the possible anti-hyperglycaemic and body weight reducing activities of the aqueous extract of both Capparis spinosa (CS) and Chamaemelum nobile (CN) (20 mg/kg-1). The results demonstrate clearly that repeated oral administration of both CS and CN aqueous extract evoked a potent anti-hyperglycaemic activity in high fat diet (HFD) obese mice. Postprandial hyperglycaemic … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Studies on the Effect of Phototoxicity of A New Photosensitizer Extracted from Flowers and Aerial Parts of Cichorium pumilumM-Ali H. Al-Akhras, Amr Amin, Karima Mohammad et al.New photosensitizers have been extracted from the flowers and aerial parts of the Cichorium pumilum Jacq (chicory). Chicory grows naturally in local wild areas and is known to cause quick death of only white sheep during its flowering season in autumn. Some of those isolated photosensitizers are yet to be further characterized. Preliminary investigations show a high degradation of isolated … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCPI-1189 Protects against TNBS-induced Colitis in a Rodent ModelBeverley Greenwood-Van Meerveld, Karl TylerNitrone-related therapeutics (NRTs) represents a new class of molecules that may be effective in treating inflammatory conditions. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of CPI-1189 in a rat model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Colonic inflammation was induced by an enema of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Saline-enema treated rats served as controls. After 3 days colonic … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRainfall Depth-Duration-Frequency Relationships for South Carolina, North Carolina, and GeorgiaJ. P. Raiford, N.M. Aziz, A.A. Khan, D.N. PowellThe depth-duration-frequency curves and isopluvial maps for the region encompassing South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia were developed using the available rainfall data. The aim was to update the existing intensity-duration-frequency curves in the region and obtain these curves at ungauged sites throughout the region using the newly developed rainfall frequency analysis techniques. A total of 17 durations ranging from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Image Component Transmission Approach to Improve Image Quality and Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor NetworksWei Wang, Dongming Peng, Honggang Wang, Hamid SharifDue to resource constraints, digital image transmissions are a significant challenge for image sensor based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In this paper, we propose a novel robust and energy-efficient scheme, called Image Component Transmission (ICT) in WSN by providing various levels of reliability during image transmissions. Different components in the embedded wavelet image bit stream are considered and essential components … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Saturation Induction for Bi-Substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet Prepared Via Sol Gel TechniqueNoorhana Yahya, Goh Kah HeanY3.0-xBixFe5O12 samples (x = 0.2 and 0.4) were prepared via novel sol-gel and conventional solid-state techniques. The effect of bismuth in both techniques was investigated in terms of shrinkage, density, hysteresis and initial permeability. Sharp and clear diffraction XRD lines with highest peak appear at about 32° of the 2θ¸, for all the powders sintered at 900°C and 1250°C for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Based Energy Management of a Domestic Photovoltaic PanelMaher Chaabene, Mohsen Ben Ammar, Ahmed ElhajjajiThis study introduces a new switching mean giving a real time optimum connection mode of domestic apparatus on either the electrical grid or a photovoltaic panel (PVP) output. A fuzzy algorithm makes the decision which ensures the optimal energy management basing on the PVP generation and apparatus states with respect to energy save criteria. Validation was driven on a 1kW … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Geotechnical Properties of Penang Residual Soils with Emphasis on LandslidesFauziah Ahmad, Ahmad Shukri Yahaya, Mohd Ahmadullah FarooqiThe predominantly hilly terrain of Penang Island combined with average maximum daily temperatures ranging between 27-35°C and peak rainfall as high as 647 cm makes the overall area potentially susceptible to landslips. Over the recent past construction industry has shown a rapid growth mainly due to increase in the inflow of international tourists and other economic reasons. Eventually, the magnitude … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuroendocrine Abnormalities in Drug Abusers and HIV-Infected Individuals: Cortisol Response to Cold Pressor ChallengeMahendra Kumar, Drenna Waldrop-Valverde, Adarsh M. Kumar et al.Although endocrine abnormalities have been reported in HIV-1 infection, the role of risk factors is not understood. Injecting drug use (IDU) is an important risk factor for contracting HIV-infection and studies suggest that substance use may also be associated with endocrine dysfunction. In order to investigate hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis activity in this population, this study investigated cortisol response … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCrystallisation and Melting Behavior of Methyl Esters of Palm OilCheng Sit Foon, Yung Chee Liang, Noor Lida Habi Mat Dian et al.The methyl esters of palm oil, which consists of saturated and unsaturated esters (0.6 to 95.9% unsaturation) of the C12 to C18 fatty acids, solidify at the two temperature ranges, -52 to -45°C and -24 to 21°C, when the esters are cooled. When the esters are heated, they melt at two distinct temperatures, -25 and -33°C and a broad peak … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 7,055 accessesView PDFCite
