Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial-Impregnated Discs for Prevention of Intravenous Catheter-Related InfectionsKelly R. Daniels, Christopher R. FreiProblem statement: Healthcare-associated infections are the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSIs) comprise 14% of all healthcare-associated infections and contribute to increased mortality and financial costs. Antimicrobial-impregnated sponge discs to be used surrounding the catheter insertion site are a newer addition to the options available for the prevention of catheter-related infections. Approach: This … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2012 · 8,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) on Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in Animal ModelsEric Peys, Jerry Varghese, Ponusami Suresh et al.The administration of probiotic bacteria is emerging as a potential means of preventing the onset or recurrence of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) and of attenuating inflammatory activity and preventing relapses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We evaluated the efficacy of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) in a hamster model of antibiotic-induced CDAD and in a rat model … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic and Deterministic Mathematical Modeling and Simulation to Evaluate the Novel COVID-19 Pandemic Control MeasuresEva Gupta, Nand Jee Kanu, Amartya Munot et al.Background: In India, the novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) epidemic has grown to 17,00000 cases and around 38,000 deaths up to 30th July, 2020. The impacts of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in India were studied using modified age-structured stochastic and deterministic mathematical models. Methods: A compartmental susceptible (S)-infected (symptomatic) (IS) infected (asymptomatic) (IN) recovered (R) i.e., … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 20 Nov 2020 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntihypertensive Effects of Brazilian FruitsAugusto Altoé Puppin, Christiane Mileib Vasconcelos, Mirian de Almeida Silva et al.Cardiovascular disease is a health problem that generates economic and social impacts worldwide and hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Currently, conventional medicine offers treatments that control and regulate blood pressure through medication, but the traditional medicines of different cultures have used plants and foods to treat and prevent this type of disease for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2020 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPresents the Kinematics of a Manipulator with Three MobilitiesRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuThe paper briefly presents the kinematic study of a manipulator with three mobilities, which can be used both in industrial halls and in garages, depending on its suitably chosen constructive size, which at smaller dimensions can be handled very easily. This manipulator can carry large loads, thus easing the work of the human being and preventing it from major dangers … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 May 2020 · 6,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Appropriate Use of Wind Energy in Sistan Region to Generate ElectricitySara Abdollahi, Meysam Madadi, Soleyman Ghorbanzadeh et al.Sistan (Zabol) region is located in Sistan and Baluchestan province and in southeastern part of Iran. The specific atmospheric condition of this region, especially high-speed and continuous winds, can provide the necessary condition for Electricity generation from wind power. 120-day winds of Sistan region are one of the renewable energy sources in the province, which has been neglected in recent … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 6 May 2020 · 6,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Cobalt, Iron and Ruthenium Catalysts for the Production of Synthetic DieselDayna M. Ortiz Rodríguez, María del C. Cotto-Maldonado, José Duconge Hernández et al.Fossil fuels are currently the world's leading source of energy. Environmental legislations, the high price of fossil fuels, the concern about the supply of these fuels and technological development, makes it necessary to search for alternative sources of energy. The production of clean liquid fuels, such as synthetic diesel from synthesis gas, by Fischer-Tropsch (FT) method, is considered a very … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2020 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Development of an Advanced Authentication Protocol for Mobile Applications using NFC TechnologyReham Abdellatif Abouhogail, Ahmed H. AliIn this paper, we proposed a new Authentication Protocol for Mobile Applications using NFC technology (AP for MAN). The proposed protocol minimizes the required time to complete the authentication process between the shared entities with a high level of privacy. According to the main security measures, the proposed protocol is evaluated. The current paper presents a new idea for preventing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 25 Dec 2019 · 7,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGilsonite Modified Asphalt for Use in Pavement ConstructionAliasghar Akbari Nasrekani, Mostafa Nakhaei, Koorosh Naderi et al.Properties such as durability and moisture resistance of asphalt concrete significantly improve pavement service life. When siliceous aggregate is used, then preventing moisture damage and stripping become distinctly required. Typically, stripping could be prevented by either using antistripping agents or by modifying the binders. The anti-stripping agent achieve its purpose by changing the aggregates' affinity for water through changing the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2018 · 9,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConservation of Binding of Llama and Other Animals’ Hemoglobins to Haptoglobins Across SpeciesMoges Woldemeskel, Oluseyi A. VanderpuyeThe plasma protein haptoglobin binds hemoglobin released from lysed erythrocytes. It causes removal of the free hemoglobin, thus preventing pathological oxidation of cells. Hemoglobin higher level structures are well conserved across animal species but primary structures can be as little as 50% homologous. Because of these differences, the question arose as to what extent hemoglobins can bind to haptoglobins from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2018 · 9,200 accessesView PDFCite
