Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConceptual Design, Analysis and Construction of a Fixed-Wing Unmanned Arial Vehicle for Oil and Gas Pipeline SurveillanceAliyu Bhar Kisabo, Charles Attah Osheku, Sholiyi Olusegun SamuelOil and Gas Pipelines consists of pipes, compressors and pumps. These are frequently located in environments that are difficult to monitor and secure (e.g., creeks and remote areas). Attacks or damage to such installations can lead to enormous ecological impact and loss of revenue. Developing and implementing monitoring systems that can continuously assess the state and condition of oil and … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 1 Jun 2017 · 10,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Accurate Mango Pest Identification Employing the Gaussian Mixture Model and Expectation-Maximization (EM) AlgorithmD. Lita Pansy, M. MuraliMangoes are fruits that originated in South and Southeast Asia. Mango fruits are consumed in high volume worldwide. However, fruit, stem, root, and mango leaves are damaged by pests, and it has a significant negative impact on mango production. Many works were developed for the pest detection of mango; but, none of the works concentrated on the practical applicability and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 3 Dec 2024 · 5,069 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMORPHOPHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IN PIGLETS FED A SESAME MEAL OR SOYBEAN MEAL DIETAraceli Aguilera Barreyro, Tércia Reis de Souza, Gerardo Mariscal-Landín et al.An important indicator to recommend a protein source for piglet nutrition is the absence of intestinal damage. The effects of sesame or soybean meal based diets on Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) morphophysiology, diarrhea incidence and severity in piglets were studied during the first two weeks post-weaning. Thirty-six piglets weaned at 21 days of age were fed one of three diets: A … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF A PROXIMAL MACHINE VISION SYSTEM FOR OFF-SEASON WEED MAPPING IN BROADACRE NO-TILLAGE FALLOWSH. Liu, C. Saunders, S. H. LeeWeeds are among the most significant and costly environmental threats in Australian agriculture. Weeds compete with crop plants for moisture, nutrients and sunlight and can have a detrimental impact on crop yields and quality if uncontrolled. The distribution, size, density and species of the weeds are often heterogeneous in the cropping land. Instead of uniformly spray the same type of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2013 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTIVE BLACK HOLE ATTACKS IN MANETSRaja Azlina Raja Mahmood, Zurina Mohd Hanapi, Sazlinah Hasan, AsadIqbal KhanBlack hole or packet drop attack is a denial of service attack on routing protocols in which malicious nodes fabricate routing information, attract packets routed through them and then deliberately drop these packets. Most of the black hole attack simulations are performed by constantly fabricating routing information and thus consistently attracting packets to them, which can be easily detected by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2013 · 6,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDaily distribution Map of Ozone (O3) from AIRS over Southeast AsiaJasim M. Rajab, M.Z. MatJafri, H.S. Lim, K. AbdullahProblem statement: Daily retrieved Ozone (O3) column data for 12 day for periods varying (11-18 August) 2005 and 2003 and (12-19 February) 2005, obtained from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder AIRS, are utilized to investigate the ozone distribution over the Southeast Asia. Approach: AIRS included on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua satellite launched on 4 May 2002. Ozone (O3) is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Applicability of Landslide Databases for Hazard Management Using Objective and Subjective Models: Australian Geoinformatic CaseM. OwneghProblem statement: In order to assess the applicability of Australian landslide databases as a hazard management support system, current hard and soft literature and data sources were screened. This assessment resulted in the selection of four main data bases including national landslide database (A), Peril Aus ІІ (B), the Cities project (C) and analytical study of Fell (D). Approach: In … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,356 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Fully Coupled Approach for Evaluation of Wellbore Stability in Hydrocarbon ReservoirsVera RoccaProblem statement: When a well is drilled in a hydrocarbon reservoir, the original thermodynamic conditions are altered, the natural stresses are redistributed and a stress concentration occurs around the hole. The alteration of the original equilibrium can lead to wellbore damage, sometimes to its complete collapse. Loss of time associated with stability problems is estimated to account for 12-15% of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCocaine Exposure Results in Formation of Dendritic Varicosity in Rat Primary Hippocampal NeuronsHonghong Yao, Crystal Bethel-Brown, Anil Kumar, Shilpa BuchProblem statement: It has been well documented that drugs of abuse such as cocaine can cause enhanced progression of HIV-Associated Neuropathological Disorders (HAND), the underlying mechanisms mediating these effects remain poorly understood. Approach: In present study, we explored the impact of cocaine exposure (I and 10 μM) on the dendritic beading in rat primary hippocampal neurons. Using the approach of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
