Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEvaluation of Salivary Electrolytes during Normal Menstrual Cycle with Special Reference to OvulationS. Alagendran, Govindaraju Archunan, Enrique Orozco Bonnila Armando, Rosalinda Guevara GuzmanThere is evidence to imply that estrogen influences salivary electrolytes activity in women. Problem statement: In this study we investigated changes in sodium, potassium and inorganic phosphorus, calcium and magnesium which related to find out the precise day of ovulation. These changes might help to explain the fluctuation of ovarian hormones such as preovulatory estrogen surge. Approach: Human whole saliva … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,805 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBioconversion of Carotenoids in Five Fruits and Vegetables to Vitamin A Measured by Retinol Accumulation in Rat LiversArmando Carrillo-Lopez, Elhadi M. Yahia, Gabriela K. Ramirez-PadillaProblem statement: Vitamin A deficiency is one of the most prevalent and major nutritional problems in developing countries, especially in young children. In many countries, a substantial proportion of dietary vitamin A is commonly derived from pro-vitamin A carotenoids obtained from colored fruits and orange or green vegetables. However, the bioavailability of retinol derived from carotenoids from these plant sources … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,926 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesProfiling of Phenolic Compounds of Somatic and Reproductive Tissues of Agave Durangensis Gentry (Agavaceae)Norma Almaraz-Abarca, Elí Amanda Delgado-Alvarado, Vicente Hernández-Vargas et al.Problem statement: In Durango, Mexico, mescal is elaborated from wild plants of Agave durangensis. This species shows a high morphological variability within and among populations, what makes its taxonomic delimitation a hard task. Approach: In this study the pollen and foliar phenolic compositions of Agave durangensis were analyzed by HPLC/DAD with the aim of determining the significance of phenol profiles … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,740 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTaxonomic Significance of ISTR to Discriminate Species in AgavaceaeMartha Isabel Torres-Morán, Norma Almaraz-Abarca, Ana Paulina Velasco-Ramírez et al.Family Agavaceae is endemic of American Continent. From the around 300 species recognized in this family, 217 occur in Mexico. Relevant ethnobotanic relationships among Agavaceae and the several native human cultures of the American Continent have been established since prehispanic times. Agave is one of the most important genus in that family due to its great diversity and abundance, mainly … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,189 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Foliage Supplementation to Calves on the Viability and Egg Count of Haemonchus contortus NematodesJuan López, Esteban Machín, Arturo Zentella et al.Thirty early-weaned 5±3 month-old calves with an average body weight of 96±23 kg were used; 24 were artificially infested with 90 larvae (L3), of H. contortus per kilogram body weight. Calves grazed on African Star Grass (Cynodon plectostachyus) from 0600 to 1300 hours. Grazing was supplemented with lucerne hay (Medicago sativa) or cassava foliage (Manihot esculenta), and 500 g-1 head-1 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,065 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInteraction of a C-terminal Truncated Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein with Plasmid DNA Vaccine Leads to in vitro Assembly of Heterogeneous Virus-like ParticlesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Joanna Poutou, Alexis Mussachio et al.Recently, it has been shown that HCV core proteins (HCcAg) with C-terminal deletions assemble in vitro into virus-like particles (VLPs) in the presence of structured RNA molecules. Results presented in this work showed that a truncated HCcAg variant covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120) with a 32 aa N-terminal fusion peptide (6xHistag-XpressTMepitope) interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine. Interestingly, the buoyant … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandom Forest Based Feature Selection of Macroeconomic Variables for Stock Market PredictionIsaac Kofi Nti, Adebayo Felix Adekoya, Benjamin Asubam WeyoriA firm’s equity price on the stock-market is reported to be closely related to the Macroeconomic Variable (MVs) of the country in which the firm trades. For this reason, researchers, market traders, financial analysts and forecasters to examine the association between MVs and stock-price have carried out numerous studies, using time-series statistical analysis methods like Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2019 · 10,234 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIDENTIFICATION OF PERIODIC AUTOREGRESSIVE MOVING-AVERAGE TIME SERIES MODELS WITH RHazem I. El Shekh Ahmed, Raid B. Salha, Diab I. AL-AwarPeriodic autoregressive moving average PARMA process extend the classical autoregressive moving average ARMA process by allowing the parameters to vary with seasons. Model identification is the identification of a possible model based on an available realization, i.e., determining the type of the model with appropriate orders. The Periodic Autocorrelation Function (PeACF) and the Periodic Partial Autocorrelation Function (PePACF) serve as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2014 · 12,904 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTIME SERIES MODELING OF MONTHLY RAINFALL IN ARID AREAS: CASE STUDY FOR SAUDI ARABIANidhal SaadaStochastic techniques are essential in planning and management of water resources systems especially in arid and semi-arid areas where water is scarce. The forecasting of future events requires identifying proper stochastic models to be used in this process. For this purpose, a Periodic ARMA (PARMA) model and a temporal disaggregation models were used in this study to investigate weather they … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 May 2014 · 7,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFORECASTING RETURNS FOR THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF THAILAND INDEX USING MULTIPLE REGRESSION BASED ON PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSISNop Sopipan, Anchalee Sattayatham, Samruam ChongcharoenThe aim of this study was to forecast the returns for the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index by adding some explanatory variables and stationary Autoregressive Moving-Average order p and q (ARMA (p, q)) in the mean equation of returns. In addition, we used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to remove possible complications caused by multicollinearity. Afterwards, we forecast the volatility … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,438 accessesView PDF Cite
