Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOX’S PROPORTIONAL HAZARD MODEL AND CONSTRUCTION OF LIFE TABLE FOR UNDER-FIVESalam Shantikumar SinghA primary data of 836 eligible women in the age group of 15-49 years is used to determine the causal effects of covariates on under-five mortality. The eight covariates viz., Number of family Members (NHM), Type of Toilet Facility (TTF), Total Children ever Born (TCB), Parity (PAR), Duration of Breastfeeding (DBF), use Contraceptive (CMT), DPT and Ideal Number of Girl … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Jul 2014 · 8,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards Some General Ecological PrinciplesArild WikanDiscrete deterministic age-structured, stage-structured and difference delay equation population models are analysed and compared with respect to stability and nonstationary behaviour. All three models show that species with iteroparous life histories tend to be more stable than species with semelparous life histories which allow us to conclude that this must be a fairly general ecological principle. Considering iteroparity, the precocious … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 3 Jan 2013 · 6,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicity of Industrial Wastewater Acting Singly or in Joint-Ratios on Clarias gariepinusAina Olubukola Adeogun, Azubuike Victor ChukwukaFreshwater ecosystems were the most vulnerable to pollution due to their easy accessibility for disposal of wastewaters leading to deterioration of water quality. Ona river, Ibadan, Nigeria is part of a dense network of inland watercourses emptying into the Lagos lagoon and receives industrial effluents from a food and beverage industry. The single and joint-action toxicity of effluents from these … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2012 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTheater Activities for Jung Opera Audience: An Educational UrgencyElita MauleProblem statement: Numerous studies have led researchers to conclude that the socio-demographic profile of the public of classical music appears to be quite generalizable. However, the survey of the opera public, a classical music subgenre that is often associated with theater performances, appears to be much more difficult to quantify and has not yet been the subject of specific investigations … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 Feb 2012 · 8,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Human Immune Deficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome on Farm HouseholdsOkezie Chukwukere Austin, Athenesius Onyekanma, Amir Hussin BaharuddinProblem statement: The impact of HIV/AIDS in Africa cut across all sectors of human development and it poses serious challenge to the survival of several vulnerable poor, whose livelihood depends solely on agriculture. This study is an attempt to contribute to the understanding of HIV/AIDS by investigating household vulnerablity and its impact on production variability in farm households. Approach: A … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 8,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreservation of the Environment through Sustainable Agriculture Practices: A Case Study on the Attitude of Crop FarmersJeffrey Lawrence D’Silva, Bahaman Abu Samah, Hayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril, Norsida ManProblem statement: Undoubtedly agriculture over the years has been a remarkable source of income generator for the rural community to achieve a higher standard of living and to live on par with their urban brethren that are mostly involved in industrialization. The quest for a greater income should, however, not deter farmers from paying attention toward the preservation of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of U6 snRNA Transcription by PTENStephanie Cabarcas, Kounosuke Watabe, Laura SchrammProblem statement: RNA polymerase III (RNA pol III) is responsible for transcribing many of the small structural RNA molecules involved in RNA processing and protein translation, thereby regulating the growth rate of a cell. RNA pol III transcribes both gene internal (tRNA) and gene external (U6 snRNA) promoters and proper initiation by RNA polymerase III requires the transcription initiation factor … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransgenic Indian Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Harboring Rice Chitinase Gene (Chi II) Confers Resistance to Two Fungal PathogensM. Ganesan, P. Bhanumathi, K. Ganesh Kumari et al.Problem statement: The present investigation described a simple and reproducible protocol for transgenic cotton regeneration and characterization of chitinase (Chi II) gene expression against two different fungal pathogens in cotton. Approach: Transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum cv. SVPR2) plants were produced by pCambia-bar-Chi II (13.8 kb) under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter, harbored in the strain LBA 4404 Agrobacterium … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLife Extension by Anti-Aging Drugs: Hormetic Explanation?A.M. VaisermanA number of chemicals including antioxidants, vitamins and hormones are widely advertised as anti-aging drugs (geroprotectors). It is usually believed that life-extending capacity of geroprotectors may be attributed to their specific anti-aging mechanisms, even without solid scientific evidence. The analysis of the survival data gathered by both anti-aging and hormetic interventions demonstrates that many essential similarities exist between them. The … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Post-Mating Progesterone Supplement on Pregnancy and Lambing Rates of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Jomana F. HijaziThe objective of this experiment was to determine whether post-mating progesterone (P4) supplement improves pregnancy and lambing rates in ewes bred during the seasonal anestrous period. In June, 39 synchronized to estrus Awassi ewes were allowed with four harnessed fertile rams immediately following CIDR-G device removal (day 0 and 0 hour). Five days following ram introduction, ewes were randomly assigned … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
