Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Rice Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) by use of Streptomyces sindeneusis isolate 263 in GreenhouseM. Ebrahimi Zarandi, G.H. Shahidi Bonjar, F. Padasht Dehkaei et al.Soil Actinomycetes particularly Streptomyces spp. have antagonistic activity against wide range of plant pathogens. In the recent decades they have attracted high interests as biocontrol agents. In search for finding such principles, in vitro suppression of Magnaporthe oryzae the causal agent of rice blast disease was studied by use of Streptomyces sindeneusis isolate 263 in greenhouse. Spray of rice seedling-leaves … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 11,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Briquetting Pressure on Banana-Peel Briquette and the Banana Waste in Northern ThailandPatomsok WilaiponBanana is considered as one of the most important agricultural products of Northern Thailand. A large amount of banana peel has been left as garbage after industrial processes. The raw material is plentiful and has low economic value. Therefore, the characteristics of banana-peel briquettes including banana peel properties were investigated. The briquettes were produced with pressures ranging from 3 to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 11,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Heat Transport in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel CellE. Afshari, S.A. JazayeriIn this study a two-phases, single-domain and non-isothermal model of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been studied to investigate thermal management effects on fuel cell performance. A set of governing equations, conservation of mass, momentum, species, energy and charge for gas diffusion layers, catalyst layers and the membrane regions are considered. These equations are solved numerically in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,343 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of a 4th Generation-Cephalosporin Introduction upon the Incidence of Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Non-Teaching HospitalGuilherme Henrique Campos Furtado, Luciana Baria Perdiz, Eduardo Alexandrino Servolo MedeirosProblem statement: Antimicrobial resistance is a worrisome situation in hospitals around the world and the misuse of certain classes of antimicrobials has contributed for this situation. Approach: We performed a prospective surveillance study on the incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria before (phase 1) and after (phase 2) the introduction of a 4th-generation cephalosporin in a non-teaching hospital. Results: There was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPassive Transfer of HIV-1 Antibodies and Drug Resistant Virus during a Health Care Worker Accident: Implications for HCW Post-Exposure ManagementCarlos Fernando De Oliveira, Ricardo Sobhie Diaz, Abdallah Harmache et al.Problem statement: We studied in detail a case in which a nurse caring for an HIV-infected child suffered a deep-laceration accident with contaminated blood. Approach: The patient had been treated with zidovudine (ZDV) and the nurse became infected despite prophylactic use of ZDV initiated 2 h after the accident. A reactive anti-HIV-1/2 EIA and an indeterminate western blot (gp120/160 reactivity) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Typhonium Flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume TuberSyam Mohan, Ahmad Bustamam Abdul, Siddig Ibrahim Abdel Wahab et al.Problem Statement: Multiple drug resistance in human pathogenic micro organisms has developed due to indiscriminate use of modern antimicrobial drugs generally used in the management of infectious diseases. This increases the importance of exploiting the natural sources instead modern drugs. Approach: The antibacterial and antioxidant activity of different extracts from of Typhonium flagelliforme (L.) Blume tuber (family: Araceae) commonly called … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal Time Implementation of NARMA-L2 Control of a Single Link ManipulatorS.S. Mokri, H. Husain, W. Martono, A. ShafieNonlinearities and parametric uncertainties are unavoidable problems faced in controlling robot manipulator. A single link manipulator driven by a permanent magnet brushed dc motor is a nonlinear dynamics due to effects of gravitational force, mass of the payload, posture of the manipulator and viscous friction coefficient. Furthermore, uncertainties arise because of changes of the rotor resistance with temperature and random … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Internal Marketing on Organizational Commitment in Iranian BanksAtousa Farzad, Nasim Nahavandi, Albert CaruanaThe purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of internal marketing criteria on organizational commitment of employees among Iranian state-owned banks. Internal marketing is a planned effort using a marketing-like approach to overcome organizational resistance to change and to align, motivate and inter-functionally co-ordinate and integrate employees towards the effective implementation of corporate and functional strategies which is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstracttNOX (ENOX2) Target for Chemosensitization-Low-Dose Responses in the Hormetic Concentration RangeD. James Morre, Sara Dick, Elena Bosneaga et al.An emerging concept of cancer chemotherapy is that of chemosensitization. Most often applied to the treatment of drug-resistance cancers, chemosensitization has utility when such cancers are rendered drug sensitive through treatment with the sensitizing agent. A particularly striking example of chemosensitization is that encountered with the synthetic isoflavene phenoxodiol where patients with taxane- and/or platinum-resistant ovarian carcinoma once again become … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeographic Distribution and Genetic Analysis of Physiological Racesof Setosphaeria turcica in Northern ChinaJingao Dong, Yongshan Fan, Xiumei Gui et al.Five hundreds and forty-six isolates of Setosphaeria turcica, the causal agent of Northern Corn Leaf Blight, were collected in 61 corn-growing locations throughout six provinces of Northern China during 2000-2002, to determine their pathogenicity on two sets of host differentials: OH43/Huangzao4, OH43Ht1Huangzao4Ht1, OH43Ht2/Huangzao4Ht2, OH43Ht3/Huangzao4Ht3 and OH43HtN/Huangzao4HtN. The isolates were grouped into 13 different physiological races (0, 1, 12, 3, 13, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,809 accessesView PDFCite
