Approach: This cross sectional study was carried out on 86 healthy pregnant women including 26, 23 and 37 individuals in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 2 Dec 2011 · 7,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEntropyomics as the Blueprint of the Logic of Normal Cell Division and MalignancyKambiz AfrasiabiProblem statement: In this article I propose a blueprint based on one of the most fundamental laws governing the known universe, namely the second law of thermodynamics and I present support for its central role in initiation of mitosis and relationship of the other sub cellular compartments and their organization. Approach: Life is considered to be the most sophisticated antientropy … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 10,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSpeech Enhancement Using Minimum Mean-Square Error Amplitude Estimators Under Normal and Generalized Gamma DistributionChabane Boubakir, Daoud BerkaniProblem statement: In this study, DFT-based speech enhancement via Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) amplitude estimators was considered. Approach: Several variants of the basic approach (MMSE-STSA) have been proposed over the years to address certain shortcomings, chiefly the quality of the remnant noise and its trade-off with speech distortion. In this study, we presented a comparative study between the MMLSA and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,112 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComputational Complexity between K-Means and K-Medoids Clustering Algorithms for Normal and Uniform Distributions of Data PointsT. Velmurugan, T. SanthanamProblem statement: Clustering is one of the most important research areas in the field of data mining. Clustering means creating groups of objects based on their features in such a way that the objects belonging to the same groups are similar and those belonging to different groups are dissimilar. Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique. The main advantage of clustering … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 19,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuantum Stem Cell in the Infinity Loop: A New Concept for Our Understanding of the Normal State and CancerKambiz AfrasiabiProblem statement: The scientific community is in need of more rigorous understanding of the mechanism of initiation of mitosis. The complete understanding of the initiation sequence may allow knowledge of the normal and disease states, including cancer. This understanding and knowledge would open the way for developing curative treatment of cancer. This article proposes a mechanism of initiation of mitosis … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Mar 2010 · 8,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCamel's Milk Protects Against Aluminum Chloride-Induced Normocytic Normocromic Anemia, Lipid Peroxidation and Oxidative Stress in Erythrocytes of White Albino RatsFahaid Al-HashemProblem statement: Aluminum (Al) is an indifferent element from a toxicological point of view. In recent years, however, Al has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several clinical disorders. One of the most frequently described problem in aluminum toxicity is anemia. The present study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of Camel’s milk in alleviating the toxicity of aluminum … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn vivo, Acute, Normo-hypoglycemic, Antihyperglycemic, Insulinotropic Actions of Orally Administered Ethanol Extract of Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrab PulpMahmoud Al-Khateeb, Mohammad Dallak, Fahaid Al-Hashem et al.Problem statement: Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrab (cucurbitaceae family) (Handal) is a fruit commonly known as bitter apple or bitter cucumber. Traditionally, Citrullus colocynthis has been used for the treatment of diabetes. In particular, the acute effect and rout of administration of ethanol extract of the seedless pulp in vivo remains untested. We investigated the effect of different routs of administration … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation of Vegetation Dynamics using Long-Term Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Time-SeriesTamara Bellone, Piero Boccardo, Francesca PerezProblem statement: The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is the most extensively used satellite-derived index of vegetation health and density. Since climate is one of the most important factors affecting vegetation condition, satellite-derived vegetation indexes have been often used to evaluate climatic and environmental changes at regional and global scale. The proposed study attempted to investigate the temporal vegetation dynamics … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Flavonoid, Quercetin, Inhibits HIV-1 Infection in Normal Peripheral Blood Mononuclear CellsMadhavan P.N. Nair, Zainulabedin M. Saiyed, Nimisha H. Gandhi, C. N. RamchandProblem statement: Flavonoids and related polyphenols, have been known to possess cardioprotective, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-viral activities. Previous studies have shown that flavonoid, quercetin significantly downregulates expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in cultured cells via modulation of NFκB and p38MAPK signaling pathways. In the current study, we hypothesize that quercetin exerts anti-HIV activity by differential modulation of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokine … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 12,190 accessesView PDFCite
