Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDielectric Properties of Collagen on Plasma Modified Polyvinylidene FluorideR. M. Dahan, S. I. Ismail, Famiza Latif et al.Problem statement: The attachment of biopolymers such as collagen on inert polymeric template created great challenge due to hydrophobic nature of polymeric material. The modification of PVDF for improved adhesion and introduction of specific functionalities have been widely recognized in various industrial applications. Typical methods for modifying polymer surface such as chemical etching and UV irradiation are not favorable as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,988 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus PCR in Detecting Target(s) of Hapalindole-T, From a Cyanobacterium, in Escherichia Coli: In Silico ValidationManoj K. Tripathi, Maheep Kumar, Vinay K. Singh et al.Problem statement: Identification of newer biomolecule as well as targets are a rising concern because of increasing drug resistance in bacteria. We have isolated a broad spectrum antibiotic biomolecule Hapalindole-T from a cyanobacterium, Fisherella sp. growing on local Azadirachta indica tree bark. A model bacterium E. coli was screened spontaneously for Hap-T resistance. These resistant strains of E. coli were … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2012 · 13,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRal-Binding Protein is Required for the Maturation and Function of Dendritic CellsJozef Borvak, Mukesh Sahu, Varun Joy et al.Problem statement: Dendritic Cells (DCs) integrate responses of innate and adaptive immune system via transmitting pro-inflammatory and regulatory signals to naïve cells within draining lymph nodes. DCs have high capacity for endocytosis, both Clathrin-Dependent (CDE) and Caveolin-Dependent (CvDE). Approach: We have recently shown that ATP-hydrolysis by the multifunctional transporter protein RLIP76 is the primary determinant of the rate of CDE. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractColor Doppler Ultrasound Indices in Endometriotic CystsParisa Hajialioghlo, Fatemeh Ghatresamani, Nariman Nezami, Narges SobhaniProblem statement: There have been considerable interests on using non-invasive techniques to detect endometriosis. A few studies were evaluated the Doppler ultrasound findings of endometriosis. This study aimed to characterize the grayscale and Doppler ultrasound findings of endometriosis. Approach: During present prospective study, gray scale and Doppler ultrasound findings of 37 women with final diagnosis of endometriosis were evaluated. Patients … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Nanostructured Stress Free Pt-Rich FePt Films for Micro Electro Mechanical System ApplicationsT. M. Selvakumari, R. N. Emerson, S. GanesanProblem statement: The electroplating technique is especially interesting due to its low cost, high throughput and high quality of deposit. Magnetic thin films are extensively used in various electronic devices including high density recording media and Micro Electro Mechanical (MEMS) devices. So we examined FePt films and give good magnetic properties. Approach: The Pt-rich FePt alloys were electrodeposited galvanostatically by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Manufacturing Stresses to Die Attach Film Performance In Quad Flatpack No-Lead Stacked Die PackagesM. F. Rosle, I. Abdullah, S. Abdullah et al.Problem statement: Repeated heat cure during assembly processes affected the Die Attach Film (DAF) material properties and the effectiveness touched area that leads to weak die bonding and delamination. Suitable die attached condition and DAF material selection had been evaluated to achieve required reliability performance in the manufacturing of the 3D Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) stacked die package. Approach: During … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResistance Factors in the Implementation of Software Process Improvement Project in MalaysiaMohd Hairul Nizam Md. Nasir, Rodina Ahmad, Noor Hafizah HassanFor the past two decades, improving the quality of software has become an important agenda in the software industries as they have been assessed according to standards such as the CMM, CMM-I, ISO 9000 SIX-SIGMA and etc. As the result, software process improvement project implementations have been the main targets by most software companies. However, many initiatives are facing variety … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,334 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroarray Analysis of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Responses to Bacterial LipopolysaccharideJoe Minta James, J. Yun, Sandy Der, Shikha RanaAccumulating evidence suggest a causal role of bacterial and viral infections in atherogenesis. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to stimulate resting vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) with the production of inflammatory cytokines and modulation of quiescent cells to the proliferative and synthetic phenotype. To comprehensively identify biologically important genes associated with LPS-induced SMC phenotype modulation, we compared the transcriptomes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Cell-Responsive Nanophase Hydroxyapatite for Tissue EngineeringR. Murugan, S. RamakrishnaScaffold plays a critical role in engineering bone tissues by providing necessary structural support for the cells to accommodate and guiding their growth in the three dimensional (3D) space. Therefore, designing scaffold that mimic composition and structural aspects of the bone is of great importance to promote cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, osteointegration, tissue formation and continued function. Nanophase hydroxyapatite (HA) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanoceramic Matrices: Biomedical ApplicationsWilli Paul, Chandra P. SharmaNatural bone consisted of calcium phosphate with nanometer-sized needle-like crystals of approximately 5-20 nm width by 60 nm length. Synthetic calcium phosphates and Bioglass are biocompatible and bioactive as they bond to bone and enhance bone tissue formation. This property is attributed to their similarity with the mineral phase of natural bone except its constituent particle size. Calcium phosphate ceramics … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
