Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Interaction of 5-Hydroxytrptamine with Cytosolic Molybdenum Hydroxylases as a Potential Inhibitor for Initial Rates ActivitiesAbdullah M. Al-Mohizea, Abd El-Galil E. Amr, Mohamed A. Al-OmarProblem statement: The role of 5-HT has been investigated in many behavioral activities. Thus, studies using raphe lesion showed that 5-HT is involved in sleep, general activity levels, habituation, aggression, pain sensitivity and morphine analgesia, avoidance behavior, self-stimulation and water consumption. Approach: The metabolic interaction between serotonin (5- hydroxytrptamine) and indole-3-aldehyde and xanthine via aldehyde oxidase (EC 1.2.3.1) and xanthine … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioconversion Efficiency of β-Carotene from Mango Fruit and Carrots in Vitamin AJose de Jesus Ornelas-Paz, Elhadi M. Yahia, Alfonso A. Gardea-BejarProblem statement: Bioconversion efficiency of β-Carotene (BC) in vitamin A is strongly influenced by food matrix. This efficiency has been determined mainly in typical BC sources like carrots. BC content in mango fruit is considerably high however; the bioconversion efficiency of BC from fresh mango in vitamin A has not been determined nor compared with those of typical BC sources. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderactuated Anthropomorphic Finger Mechanism for Grasping and Pinching with Optimized ParameterNorsinnira Zainul Azlan, Yamaura HiroshiProblem statement: Underactuated finger mechanism is beneficial in the anthropomorphic applications in which it reduces the finger size, weight and power consumption due to the less number of actuators compared to its number of Degree Of Freedom (DOF). However, the currently existing underactuated finger is limited to grasping operations only and unable to pinch with the finger tip. Moreover, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Power Multiplier Design Using Latches and Flip-FlopsC. N. Marimuthu, P. ThangarajProblem statement: Power dissipation is designated as critical parameter in modern VLSI design field. In VLSI implementation low power concept is necessary to meet Moore’s law and to produce consumer electronics with more back up and less weight. To save significant power consumption of a VLSI design, it is a good direction to reduce its dynamic power which is the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Jul 2010 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
