Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFinancial Service of Wealth Management Banking: Balanced Scorecard ApproachCheng-Ru Wu, Chin-Tsai Lin, Pei-Hsuan TsaiProblem Statement: There are four main banking business sectors in Taiwan, involving the areas of consumer, corporate, wealth management, and investment banking. The wealth management banking sector is actively promoted for reaping a risk-free premium. In the proposed model, the dimensions of financial services for wealth management banks have been taken from four perspectives derived from balanced scorecard approach, viz. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,454 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIn Vitro Metabolism Studies of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers Using Rat and Human Liver MicrosomesShun Wen Cheng, Kathleen Randall, Anne T. KotchevarA number of studies have recently reported the bioaccumulation of the commonly used fire retardants, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), in humans and wildlife. Exposure of animals to PBDEs has been shown to result in developmental neurological, reproductive abnormalities and the disruption of endocrine function. Thyroid hormone equilibria was also shown to be altered by PBDE exposure. There is evidence that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTwigX-Guide: Twig Query Pattern Matching for XML TreesSu-Cheng Haw, Chien-Sing LeeThe growing importance of XML and the lack of efficient solutions for managing and querying XML data have led to the development of hybrid systems. We present a hybrid system, TwigX-Guide; an extension of the well-known DataGuide index and region encoding labeling to support twig query processing. With TwigX-Guide, a complex query can be decomposed into a set of path … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTwigINLAB: A Decomposition-Matching-Merging Approach To Improving XML Query ProcessingSu-Cheng Haw, Chien-Sing LeeThe emergence of the Web has increased significant interests in querying XML data. Current methods for XML query processing still suffers from producing large intermediate results and are not efficient in supporting query with mixed types of relationships. We propose the TwigINLAB algorithm to process and optimize the query evaluation. Our TwigINLAB adopts the decomposition-matching-merging approach and focuses on optimizing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,988 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEpitope Mapping of Dengue-Virus-Enhancing Monoclonal-Antibody Using Phage Display Peptide LibraryChung-I Rai, Huan-Yao Lei, Yee-Shin Lin et al.The Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) hypothesis has been proposed to explain why more severe manifestations of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DHF/DSS) occur predominantly during secondary infections of Dengue Virus (DV) with different serotypes. However, the epitopes recognized by these enhancing antibodies are unclear. Recently, antipre-M monoclonal antibody (mAb 70-21), which recognized all DV serotypes without neutralizing activity, were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnti-Prm Antibody as an Autoantibody in Dengue Virus InfectionKao-Jean Huang, Yu-Tien Cheng, Yee-Shin Lin et al.We have reported that anti-prM antibody is an enhancing antibody that enhances DV infection of non-Fc receptor bearing cells by dual specificity. We identified the epitope recognized by this anti-prM antibody, M3, which is located at the a.a.53-67of the prM protein nearby the prM/M cleavage junction and these anti-M3 antibodies could be detected in dengue patients sera. Surprisingly, this anti-prM … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnti-Platelet and Anti-Endothelial Cell Autoantibodies in Vietnamese Infants and Children with Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverNguyen Thanh Hung, Nguyen Trong Lan, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a serious public health problem. Increased vascular permeability and thrombocytopenia are the hallmarks of DHF. The mechanisms involved in DHF/Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) pathogenesis is not fully understood. This study gives evidence of the presence of antibodies which cross-reacted with platelets, and endothelial cells in the sera of Vietnamese infants and children with DHF/DSS. The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDengue Virus Infection Induced NF-κB-dependent Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor ProductionLien-Cheng Chen, Huey-Wen Shyu, Huan-Yao Lei et al.Dengue virus (DV) infection can cause mild dengue fever or severe dengue hemorrhage fever and dengue shock syndrome. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays an important role in the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses and serum levels of MIF are correlated with disease severity in dengue patients. However, the mechanism that induces MIF production during … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStudy on Mechanism of Ascites Syndrome of BroilersJ.L. Guo, Q.H. Zheng, Q.Q. YIN et al.Two hundred and forty male Cobb broilers were used to study the reasons of causing ascites. The results showed that cold ambient temperature could induce ascites (33.89% vs. 2.50%) and significantly increase triiodothyronine (T3), but reduce thyroxine (T4) concentrations in plasma (p<0.05). The ascitic broilers had high concentrations of aldosterone and K+, but low concentrations of T3 and T4 in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesExtraction and Identification of Water-Soluble Compounds in Palm-Pressed Fiber by SC-CO2 and GC-MSHarrison Lau Lik Nang, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah Ngan, Chuah Cheng HockThe residual oil recovered from palm-pressed fiber is known to contain high level of carotenes (4,000 mg kgˉ1 to 6,000 mg kgˉ1) and vitamin E such as tocopherols and tocotrienols (2,000 mg kgˉ1 to 3,000 mg kgˉ1). In this study, the water-soluble compounds in fresh palm-pressed fiber were recovered by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction. The concentration of these compounds … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,323 accessesView PDFCite
