Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Role of Migratory Quail in Spreading of Some Zoonotic Pathogens in EgyptAhmed I. Youssef, Dalia H. MansourThis study aimed to illustrate the potential role of wild migratory quails in the epidemiology of some zoonotic pathogens in Egypt. Ninety four apparently healthy migratory quails were collected from public markets after being trapped during hunting season from the North Sinai. Oral, cloaca and organs (liver, lung and heart) swabs were collected for bacteriological and viral examination. Bacteriological examination … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2014 · 7,530 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HYBRID FIREFLY ALGORITHM WITH FUZZY-C MEAN ALGORITHM FOR MRI BRAIN SEGMENTATIONMutasem K. AlsmadiImage processing is one of the essential tasks to extract suspicious region and robust features from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A numbers of the segmentation algorithms were developed in order to satisfy and increasing the accuracy of brain tumor detection. In the medical image processing brain image segmentation is considered as a complex and challenging part. Fuzzy c-means is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 10 Sep 2014 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF BRAIN TUMOR DIAGNOSIS BASED ON SOFT COMPUTING TECHNIQUESP. Shantha Kumar, P. Ganesh KumarComputed tomography images are widely used in the diagnosis of brain tumor because of its faster processing, avoiding malfunctions and suitability with physician and radiologist. This study proposes a new approach to automated detection of brain tumor. This proposed work consists of various stages in their diagnosis processing such as preprocessing, anisotropic diffusion, feature extraction and classification. The local binary … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Dec 2013 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of enzyme Immunoassay with Immunofluorescence Assay for the Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Respiratory Tract Infections in ChildrenOsama Mohammed Saed Abdul-WahabMycoplasma pneumoniae is a frequent cause of acute respiratory infections in both children and adults. Currently, diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infection will based principally on serology and the detection of IgM can provide an early and sensitive diagnosis in children. A variety of commercial immunodiagnostic assays, such as Indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent (ELISA) assay and Indirect Immunofluorescence (IFA), are now available … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2013 · 7,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Mathematical Modelling of Reaction Kinetics for Cyclodextrins Production from Different Starch Sources Using Bacillus macerans Cyclodextrin GlucanotransferaseSyahinaz Shahrazi, Suryani Saallah, Mohd Noriznan Mokhtar et al.This study relates to the mathematical modelling of enzymatic production of Cyclodextrins (CDs) by Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus macerans. The experiments were carried out in batch mode using different starch sources and the results were used to estimate unknown parameters using linearization and dynamic simulation methods. α- and β-CD produced from tapioca were found to give the highest Michaelis-Menten … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Activity of Cephalexin against Community-Acquired Urinary Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Proteus species IsolatesHumodi A. Saeed, Amira Saad Eldin MohammedProblem statement: Resistance among urinary tract pathogens to conventional antibiotics has been considered a health problem worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of cephalexin on urinary enterobacterial isolates. Approach: Patients with community-acquired urinary tract infections were microbiologically investigated. Urine specimens were collected from each patient. The specimens were cultured on bacteriological media. The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Solar Tracking System by Using Digital Solar Position SensorSingthong PattanasethanonProblem statement: An optimal control on two axes and design for solar tracker which called altitude and azimuth is challenge. Approach: The phototransistor with the shade that blocks the screen was employed as a detector of solar beam radiation. The height of the screen determined the sensitivity operation or period of tracking in this solar tracker. The phototransistor is particularly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 10,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage amongst Healthcare Workers of the Critical Care Units in a Nigerian HospitalA. Fadeyi, B.O. Bolaji, O.O. Oyedepo et al.Problem statement: Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Nosocomial Infection (NI) outbreaks and prevalence among various populations are well reported in literature particularly for developed countries. NI due to MRSA is a known cause of increased hospital stay, cost, morbidity and mortality especially among the critically ill. There is paucity of information on MRSA in developing nations including the carriage by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,100 accessesView PDFCite
