Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonlinear Behavior of Single Piles in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Using Incremental Dynamic AnalysisMohammad Amin Assareh, Behrouz AsgarianThe operation for offshore oil has become an important issue in the recent years. Offshore platforms are some of those structures which are built to withstand environmental and accidental loads during oil exploitation operation. One of the most usual types of these platforms is the Jacket Type Offshore Platform (JTOP) which can be divided into three important parts, which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Decision Support Approach for the Sustainable Transfer of Energy Technologies under the Kyoto ProtocolCharikleia Karakosta, Haris Doukas, John PsarrasTheoretically, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was introduced in the Kyoto Protocol at COP-3 in December 1997 and has officially been operational since the year 2000, in order to assist the technology transfer of sustainable energy technologies from developed to developing countries so as to support the sustainable development of the host countries. Under the CDM, sustainable development is considered … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Physicochemical and Thermorheological Properties of Sago StarchA. Mohamed, B. Jamilah, K.A. Abbas et al.This study was a part of a research project aiming to investigate the texture characteristics of protein - starch interaction in fish based product keropok lekor. Accordingly, the current review study focused on some physicochemical (molecular weight, viscosity, chemical composition and swelling power) and thermorheological (gelatinization, retrogradation and viscoelsticity) characteristics of sago starch alone and in mixtures with other ingredients … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterminants of Success within an Integrated Business Curriculum Context: An Econometric AssessmentIsmail H. Genc, Selahattin BekmezThis paper studies an ongoing curriculum innovation at the College of Business and Economics at the University of Idaho, with junior level economics and business classes under one common team taught course, the Integrated Business Curriculum (IBC), instead of independent classes. In our study, there were six modules (classes) within IBC. The students were required to form teams, along with … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,674 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesalination of Saline Sludges Using Ion-Exchange Column with ZeoliteA.E. Ghaly, M. VermaA flushing process followed by a zeolite based ion-exchange process were developed for the treatment of saline sludges from oil and gas exploration sites. The particle size distribution of sludge sample indicated the presence of very fine sand and clay. The electrical conductivity of the sludge was 42.2 dS m-1 indicating very saline sludge and the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNarrow-band ultraviolet B and Conventional UVB phototherapy in Psoriasis: a Randomised Controlled TrialYan Yuehua, Ahmad T. Khalaf, Zhai Xiaoxiang, Wang XinggangThe narrow-band (NB-UVB) was developed for use in phototherapy, as an alternative to a broad-band UVB source and to photochemotherapy, both of which have significant side effects and carry a risk of carcinogenesis. NB-UVB is a new phototherapy option that has proved to be particularly effective at clearing psoriasis vulgaris, with a reduced capacity to produce erythema. This study was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a Serum/Protein-Free Medium for the Growth of Mammalian Cell Lines and High Level Production of Classical, Variant and Very Virulent Strain of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV)Ane Franciele Tapparo, Paloma Oliveira Tonietti, Maria CecÍlia R. Luvizotto, Tereza C. CardosoThe aim of this study was to verify the capacity of IBDV strains, Lukert, F52/70 and very virulent Brazilian genotype (G11) to infect and replicate on cell culture maintained without serum or protein supplementation. BHK21 and CER cells were directed adapted to growth under absence of protein and/or fetal bovine serum with addition of 5 µg mL-1 of insulin-like growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Solar Radiation in High Energy Intensive of the World by PV SystemU. Ali RahomaSolar energy can be converted directly into electricity by means of solar cells. Solar cells currently cost around $3.50 per watt for crystalline cells and $2 per watt for thin-film wafers, which are less efficient but can be integrated into building materials. Industry analysts note that between 2000 and 2005, each doubling of cumulative production resulted in a price drop … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 9,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Interventions in AgingSuresh I.S. RattanSingle or multiple exposure to low doses of potentially harmful agents can have a variety of anti-aging and longevity-extending hormetic effects. These hormetic stressors include irradiation, physical activity, food limitation, heat, hypergravity, dietary components and reactive oxygen species. Molecular mechanisms facilitating the hormetic effects are being elucidated and comprise a cascade of stress response and maintenance and repair pathways. Although … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
