Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnhanced Antibacterial Activity of Blended Essential Oils against Staphylococcus Aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus AureusMin-Gi Kwon, Ji-Hyuk Kang, Jae Kyung KimWe aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effects of four blended and four single essential oils on the gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing was performed using disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute criteria. The blended essential oils exhibited more powerful antibacterial activity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Apr 2026 · 1,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Evaluation of Synergistic Antibacterial Effects in Blended Essential Oil against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative PathogensMin-Gi Kwon, Jae Kyung KimThe rising emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has heightened the search for novel antibiotic agents. Essential Oils (EOs) are complex combinations of volatile organic compounds generated by plants, with many exhibiting significant antimicrobial properties. This study evaluates the antibacterial movement of single and blended EOs against representative gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 7 Jul 2025 · 5,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the keywordsIndividualizing Periods of Commercial Exclusivity to Control Pricing for Drugs and BiologicsCallie M. Blase, Brandon K. Rouault, Maia B. Zoller et al.The pricing for immunologic agents and antibody-based therapeutics has increased precipitously in recent years. Among the key contributors to price hikes is the static practice of granting commercial exclusivity to innovator drugs and biologics. Herein, we present a mechanism for individualizing periods of commercial exclusivity to control pricing for drugs and biologics. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 13 Sep 2019 · 7,014 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Review on Automated Menu Planning ApproachesHea Choon Ngo, Yu-N Cheah, Ong Sing Goh et al.Planning is widely been used in many areas such as in medicine, administration, business, logistics, education, environment and family matters. In automated planning research, the word "plans" refers specifically to plans of action. It is about the representation of future behavior, generally a series of action, with temporal and other constraints on them for execution by some agents. Theoretically, planning … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 8 Feb 2017 · 8,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEfficiency in the California Real Estate Labor MarketDirk YandellProblem statement: This research explores the extent of market efficiency in the real estate labor market. Given a common commission rate, areas with high average home prices will generate higher agent income per home sold. If markets are efficient with few barriers to entry, additional agents per capita would be expected in high-priced areas, but each home sale would represent … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 12 Dec 2011 · 6,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntibiotic Resistance of Community and Hospital Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Clinical SpecimensAza Bahadeen Taha, Sabria M. Said Al-SalihiProblem statement: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is responsible for an increasing number of serious hospital and community acquired infections. Increased emergence in MRSA resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem. Approach: The resistance of MRSA to 20 antibiotics agents were studied. Also comparison of antibiotics resistance of community and hospital acquired MRSA were performed. Meanwhile the profile of antibiotics resistance … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiocontrol of Soil Fungi in Tomato with Microencapsulates Containing Bacillus subtilisMarcela Hernàndez-Suàrez, Francisco Daniel Hernàndez-Castillo, Gabriel Gallegos-Morales et al.Problem Statement: An option to reduce pollution by synthetic agro-chemical in root plant disease management is the use of antagonist rhizobacteria belonging to Bacillus genus, because their inhibitory properties, stimulation of plant growth and crop yield increase. Approach: This study was carried out in order to evaluate if Bacillus subtilis strains could play an antagonists role of plant pathogens and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAgent Based Grid Resource Discovery with Negotiated Alternate Solution and Non-Functional Requirement PreferencesP. Muthuchelvi, G.S. Anandha Mala, V. RamachandranProblem statement: As grid resources are geographically distributed, efficient resource discovery and management has become one of the important requirements. Besides, Grid users are independent identities and negotiation is necessary for reconciling their diverse characteristics. Therefore special mechanism was required to negotiate and discover the required resource or similar resource as an alternative when discovery fails. Moreover the quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Multi-Agent Architecture for QoS Support in Grid EnvironmentAli Rezaee, Amir M. Rahmani, Saeed Parsa, Sahar AdabiGrid computing is emerged as a new distributed computing technology that implements flexible and coordinated resource sharing among dynamic, heterogeneous, unpredictable and geographically distributed collections of resources owned by different individuals and organizations. Due to heterogeneous and dynamic nature of the grid, resource management and application scheduling is a complex undertaking. This paper proposed a multi-agent architecture that addressed resource … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Service Mobility Architecture for SIP EnvironmentsThierno Bah, Samuel Pierre, Roch GlithoLately, the proliferation of small portable devices has driven the introduction of a new mobility concept called service mobility. In order to support service mobility, we introduce a new architecture implementing mechanisms to access end user’s personalized services regardless of his physical location. The proposed architecture leverages on mobile agent technology to transport and move services to the end user’s … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,822 accessesView PDFCite
