Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Criterion for Determining the Ultimate Pullout Capacity of Plate Anchors in Clay by Numerical AnalysisHaixiao Liu, Fangmei Su, Zhou LiThe Ultimate Pullout Capacity (UPC) is an important index in designing and analyzing plate anchors. However, there are still uncertainties in determining the UPC through the load-displacement curves calculated from numerical analysis. The review on the existing criteria for determining the UPC also demonstrates that there has not been a generally accepted criterion and most existing criteria are not only … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Jan 2015 · 8,418 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractK121Q Polymorphism of the ENPP1 Gene is Related to Acute Coronary Syndrome in Ukrainian Patients with Normal but not Enhanced Body Mass IndexInna A. Rozumenko, Victoria Y. Garbusova, Yurij A. Ataman et al.Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase Phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) is a class II membrane glycoprotein with two unrelated properties: It can hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides and downregulate insulin receptor signaling. The present study was carried out to investigate whether common single-nucleotide polymorphism K121Q (rs1044498) of the ENPP1 gene is associated with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in the representatives of Ukrainian population and to assess if … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 15 Jan 2015 · 7,350 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part II: Effect of Laser Beam Power on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe surface hardness has an important effect on the wear resistance of different materials. The present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel through the application of laser surface melting with suitable conditions. The laser beam power and travelling speed are the main factors that affect the properties of the treated zone. In this study, three different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2014 · 7,211 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioinformatics Analysis of Some Functional Genes and Proteins Involved in Obesity-Induced Type 2 DiabetesEhab M. Abdella, Rasha R. Ahmed, Mohamed B. Ashour et al.The incidence of type-2 diabetes is rising rapidly worldwide, mainly because of the increase in the incidence of obesity, which is an important risk factor for this condition. Both obesity and type-2 diabetes are complex genetic traits but they also share some nongenetic risk factors. Differences among individuals in their susceptibility to both these conditions probably reflect their genetic constitutions. … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 6 May 2013 · 12,612 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighted Centroid Correction Localization in Cellular SystemsRong-Zheng Li, Xin-Long Luo, Jia-Ru LinProblem statement: There is a large demand for wireless Location-Based Service (LBS) and it is provided by many wireless cellular systems. In process of positioning a Mobile Station (MS), the computing speed is as important as the positioning accuracy and the algorithm should also be resistant to environmental influences. Approach: A new positioning method based on Weighted Centroid Correction Localization … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,979 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSepticemia: The Principal Killer of Burns PatientsB. R. Sharma, Virendar Pal Singh, Sumedha Bangar, Neha GuptaBurn injury is a major problem in many areas of the world and it has been estimated that 75% of all deaths following burns are related to infection. Burns impair the skin’s normal barrier function thus allowing microbial colonization of the burn wounds and even with the use of topical antimicrobial agents, contamination is almost unavoidable. It is therefore essential … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,024 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTaguchi Experiment Design for Investigation of Freshened Properties of Self-Compacting ConcreteYoyok Setyo Hadiwidodo, Sabarudin Bin MohdProblem statement: The intent of this study was to apply of Taguchi Design Of Experiments (DOE) techniques in Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) freshened properties studies. Owing to a wide range of material content of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC), generally, a large number of experiments were usually required as to decide a suitable mixture for finding the needed requirements of SCC. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,153 accessesView PDF Cite
