Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Potassium Levels on Antioxidant Enzymes and Malondialdehyde Content under Drought Stress in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)H. Soleimanzadeh, D. Habibi, M.R. Ardakani et al.Problem Statement: Drought stress as a major adverse factor can lower leaf water potential, leading to reduced turgor and some other responses and ultimately lower crop productivity in arid and semi arid zones. Sunflower is one of the main oil seed crops in Iran, where drought stress is the most limiting factor. Drought stress tolerance requires the activation of complex … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,779 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Analysis of Structures Using Neural NetworksN. Ahmadi, R. Kamyab Moghadas, A. LavaeiIn the recent years, neural networks are considered as the best candidate for fast approximation with arbitrary accuracy in the time consuming problems. Dynamic analysis of structures against earthquake has the time consuming process. We employed two kinds of neural networks: Generalized Regression neural network (GR) and Back-Propagation Wavenet neural network (BPW), for approximating of dynamic time history response of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of Cholesterol Esterification Influences Cytokine Exspression in Lypopolisaccharide-activated P388D1 MacrophagesRosa Rita Bonatesta, Francesca Sanna, Sabrina Uda et al.Several in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the involvement of infectious agents in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the mechanisms by which micro-organisms induce and/or aggravate atherosclerosis, are so far unclear. Accumulation of cholesterol esters and lipid laden cell formation are hallmark of the atherogenesis, however, the possible relationship between cholesterol esterification and the signal-transducing component of LPS … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Dysfunction among HIV Infected Drug AbusersRamani S. Durvasula, Charles H. HinkinHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been documented to cause direct and indirect central nervous system dysfunction that can be observed as a progressive decline in neuropsychological functioning in a large proportion of persons with HIV and AIDS. Neuropsychological decline in individuals with HIV is characterized by cognitive and motor slowing, attentional deficits, executive dysfunction and memory impairment (characterized by intact … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of HCV Components and Pathological Reactions in Apoptotic Hepatocytes from Chronically HCV-infected PatientsViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes at the cellular level may contribute to elucidate the mechanisms of HCV pathogenesis. In this work, the presence of HCV components and pathological reactions in apoptotic hepatocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients were studied by electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Eight samples of liver biopsies from patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvolvement of the α/β Isoform of p38 MAP Kinase in Chemotactic Responses of Human Eosinophils to Eotaxin (CCL11) and RANTES (CCL5)Anwar M Hasan, Gordon DentEosinophils are the principal effector cells for allergic inflammation in a variety of diseases, in which they contribute to tissue damage and remodelling processes via the secretion of cytotoxic granular proteins and cytokines. The intracellular mechanisms that control the activation, recruitment and survival of eosinophils are fundamental in understanding these disease processes. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) has been shown previously to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 26 Oct 2017 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractCommentary-How do we Improve Training for Receptor Research?Marilee Ann BenoreThis issue of the American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology features articles about receptor-ligand interactions that are critical to the wellbeing of all living organisms. The importance of the field of receptor research is supported by the large number of articles published in journals, the numerous specialty journals, the international conferences and the percentage of legal drugs on the market … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Dec 2015 · 8,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCLASSIFICATION OF DIGITAL IMAGES USING FUSION ELEVATED ORDER CLASSIFIER IN WAVELET NEURAL NETWORKR. Arulmurugan, P. SengottuvelanThe revival of wavelet neural networks obtained an extensive use in digital image processing. The shape representation, classification and detection play a very important role in the image analysis. Boosted Greedy Sparse Linear Discriminate Analysis (BGSLDA) trains the cascade level of detection in an efficient manner. With the application of reweighting concept and deployment of class-reparability criterion, lesser search was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 23 Jun 2014 · 6,790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Dielectric Model for Polyvinyl Alcohol-Water Hydrogel at Microwave FrequenciesYou Kok Yeow, Zulkifly Abbas, Kaida Khalid, Mohamad Zaki Abdul RahmanProblem statement: The study described rigorous dielectric modeling for Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)-water hydrogel mixture at microwave frequencies. Approach: A commercial open-ended coaxial sensor was used to measure the dielectric constant, loss factor and ionic conductivity, σ of PVA-water hydrogel mixture ranging concentration of 80-100% water content. Results: The sensor was operating between 0.13 and 20 GHz at and above of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 9,045 accessesView PDFCite
