Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHelicobacter pylori Infection in Never-Smoking Male Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and its Relation to Lung FunctionJordan Minov, Jovanka Karadzinska-Bislimovska, Kristin Vasilevska et al.There is a recent epidemiologic and serologic evidence for relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In order to assess the relationship between H. pylori infection and COPD and its impact on lung function we performed a cross-sectional study including 84 never-smoking male patients with COPD and an equal number of never-smoking males without … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Oct 2012 · 8,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Dispersion and Mean Toassess Healthcare Servicee FficiencyRamalingam ShanmugamMotivation for this research work started while helping a hospital administrator to assess whether patient oriented activity duration, X≥0 is reflecting the service’s efficiency? Higher value of the sample mean duration, X implies lesser productivity in the hospital and more healthcare cost. Likewise, larger value of sample dispersion, sx2 in the service durations is an indicator of lesser reliability and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Storing Temperature on Hepatotoxicity and Nephrotoxicity of Ifosfamide in Female RatFalah Mohammed AzizProblem statement: Ifosfamide (IFO) is a cytotoxic alkylating drug used for the treatment of a variety of cancers, although it has been found to induce certain hematological, hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic side effects. This drug is widely used in developing country, especially Iraq, but without caring too much to the storing temperature due to low drug maintaining facilities.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards more Manageable Coastal Building; Initial Coastal Building Construction GuidelinesRoslan Talib, Mohd Z. SuliemanProblem statement: As we may not be aware that the coastal construction is different from inland construction. Building in a coastal environment is different from building in an inland area. In general, buildings in coastal areas must be designed and built to withstand higher loads due to its more extreme conditions. Nowadays, the issue of global warming, uncertainty of global … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 22 Aug 2011 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCold Crystallization Behavior of a Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 Metal Glassy AlloyRaffaella Aversa, Daniela Parcesepe, Francesco Tamburrino et al.Liquid crystals, a substance that flows like a liquid but has some degree of ordering in the arrangement of its molecules. "Depending on temperature or the presence of an electric potential difference, molecules in a liquid crystal can either be randomly, partially or completely aligned."Isothermal cycles of the metalized metallic alloy Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 (cold crystallization obtained by heating the glassy glass … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2018 · 8,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Dynamics of the Otto EngineRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh et al.The dynamic calculation of a certain mechanism and of the piston crankshaft mechanism, used as the main mechanism for Otto internal combustion engines, also implies the influence of external forces on the actual, dynamic kinematics of the mechanism. Take into account the strong and inertial engine forces. Sometimes weight forces can also be taken into account, but their influence is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 7,532 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Ameliorative Efficiency of Phosphogypsum and Elemental Sulfur in Semi-Terrestrial Soda and Sulfate Moderately Halophytic Solonetz of the Light Gray Earth SubzoneKanaibek Kubenkulov, Nurzhamal Khokhanbaeva, Askhat NaushabayevThe article presents the data from field tests on determination of the relative ameliorative efficiency of equivalent dosages of phosphogypsum and elemental sulfur on the alkaline saline semi-terrestrialsolonetz. Basing on the analysis data of soil water extract, higher ameliorative efficiency of elemental sulfur compared to phosphogypsum and fast amelioration of alkali-saline soils with the use of sulfur have been detected. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
