Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico, In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment of Safety and Anti-inflammatory Activity of CurcuminM. Venkata, R. Sripathy, D. Anjana et al.Problem statement: Curcumin the active component of turmeric is known for its wide biological actions. Extensive studies on curcumin highlighted its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and anti-coagulant activity. The anti-inflammatory activities of curcumin have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Though curcumin and its anti-inflammatory properties are well documented, the exact mechanism of action and effective in vivo … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2012 · 9,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistorical Changes in Polychlorinated Biphenyls Contaminated SedimentsViet D. Dang, David M. Walters, Cindy M. LeeProblem statement: PCBs contamination continues to pose a health risk to aquatic environments due to their recalcitrance and bioaccumulation. The Sangamo Weston/Twelvemile Creek/Lake Hartwell Superfund Site is an example of such a health risk as a result of PCBs discharged from a former capacitor manufacturing plant. We conducted a study in twelvemile creek (Clemson, SC, USA) to examine the temporal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2012 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVertical Profile of C, N, P, K and Radionuclides in Soil Collected from Highland Tea Plantation AreasZaini Hamzah, Seh Datul Riduan, Ahmad SaatProblem statement: Cameron Highlands is a well known agricultural area in Peninsular Malaysia. Long term usage of fertilizer has caused accumulation of major elemental component in the soil. This accumulation will cause enrichment of the nutrient in the catchment located at downstream of the river through runoff. Approach: Two tea plantations on the upstream with hilly condition plantation were selected … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Ethics in River Water ManagementRavichandran Moorthy, Ganesan JeyabalanProblem statement: Environmental ethics concerns human beings’ ethical relationship with the natural environment. The fundamental question regarding environmental ethics is basically-what moral obligations do we have concerning the natural environment? The main objective of this study is to examine the extent environmental ethics manifest in river management. The study employs the case study of Malaysia’s Gombak River-one of the most … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 7 Oct 2011 · 9,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZeta Chain-Associated Protein-70 Expression is a Prognostic Tool in Mature and Precursor B-Cell NeoplasmNadia E. ElMenshawy, Sherin A. Abd ElAziz, Heba A. El Deghadi et al.Problem statement: The Zeta Chain-Associated Protein (ZAP) is a 70-kDa molecule associated with the zeta chain of the CD3 receptor complex of the lymphocyte population. It plays an important role in signaling initiation, activation T-cell receptor, phosphorylation of multiple downstream targets. So that believed as T. lymphocyte specific .Several studies is gathering that the pattern of expression is not lineage … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 9 Jul 2011 · 7,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Soil and Water Assessment Tools Model for Runoff EstimationM. Hosseini, M.S.M. Amin, A.M. Ghafouri, M.R. TabatabaeiProblem statement: The most of the distributed or physically-based hydrologic and water quality models from developed countries are not directly applicable in developing countries due to both lack of data and different climatic conditions. Hence, there is a need for a study to be conducted a catchment of developed countries. Approach: From a review of various models to estimate runoff … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Wall Roughness and Concentration of Clay on Erosion in the Hole Erosion TestKissi Benaissa, Parron Vera Miguel Angel, Rubio Cintas Maria Dolores et al.Problem statement: Internal soil erosion is a real threat for hydraulic infrastructures. In its final stage it develops in piping involving the formation and progression of a continuous void inside the soil between the upstream and downstream sides. The hole erosion test was introduced to characterize kinematics of piping in terms of the time left to rupture. Actual modeling approaches … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,510 accessesView PDFCite
