Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 18 Jun 2012 · 17,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFluctuation of Brain Tissue Oxygen Partial Pressure: A Biochemical Landmark in the Arctic Ground Squirrel's Spontaneous ArousalYi Long Ma, Shu Fen Wu, Lawrence K. DuffyHibernation in the Arctic ground Squirrel (AGS) is a regulated, adaptive response to arctic environmental conditions. Problem statement: Regional brain Blood Flow (rCBF) has been observed to increase dramatically during arousal in hibernators. However, the real time dynamic change in PtO2 during arousal has not been studied, we hypothesized that PtO2 is Interdependent of Tbrain and a key component in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2012 · 7,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepower and Evaluation of New Power of Synchronous GeneratorsS.P.Y. Santos, E. Delbone, E.F. Carvalho, L.N. MartinsProblem Statement: Useful life of winding isolation is about 30 years. It can be reduced when it is submitted to overloads or when it is worked in aggressive environments. Approach: When retrofit is done, an increasing to superior isolation class is recommendable. So, generator capacity can be increased and pay back could be excellent justifying the investment. Result: Several Brazilian’s … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,804 accessesView PDFCite

MohamedProblem statement: Evaluate the effects of daily administration of L-carnitine and cinnamon extract for two weeks on the expression of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) genes in cardiac and brain tissues of rats with Insulin Resistance (IR). Approach: Rats were divided into 4 groups (8 animals each): Group (1) rats fed control diet (60% starch) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Cluster Bed-Form Formation Over Uniform SedimentMasoud Karbasi, Mohammad H. Omid, Javad FarhoudiProblem statement: Cluster microforms are a type of small scale bed-form found in the surface layer of some gravel bed rivers. These bed-forms are comprised of discrete, organized groupings of particles that sit above the average elevation of the surrounding bed. As part of the structural organization of the bed, clusters are believed to impact the local dynamics of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,878 accessesView PDFCite
