EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNaloxone as a Harm Reduction Initiative: Misinterpretations of ResearchRichard R. MassattiIn the American Medical Journal, Annahita Beheshti and colleagues review the literature on naloxone use for opioid overdose in West Virginia (Beheshti et al., 2015). The authors cite several of my publications in support of their views on naloxone (Massatti, 2013; Massatti et al., 2014), but many of these citations misinterpret my work by using it to present a counterargument … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2016 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Brief Review on WIMPs in 331 Electroweak Gauge ModelsP.S. Rodrigues da SilvaIn this study we review the cold dark matter problem in the context of a class of models which are a simple extension of the electroweak standard model, where the gauge symmetry is dictated by the group structure, SU(3)c⊗SU(3)L⊗U(1)X. This model, in different versions, has been able to address many interesting facts not explained by the standard model. It would … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Oct 2015 · 13,036 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeficient Reasoning for Dark Matter in GalaxiesJames Q. Feng, C.F. GalloIn this universe, not all of the matter around us can be readily seen. The further an object is away from us and the less luminous it is, the less visible it becomes. Just by looking at an object is usually difficult, if not impossible, to tell the amount of mass it contains. But astronomers have been using the measured … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Sep 2015 · 8,285 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFROM DATA MINING AND KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY TO BIG DATA ANALYTICS AND KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTION FOR APPLICATIONS IN SCIENCESubana Shanmuganathan"Data mining" for "knowledge discovery in databases" and associated computational operations first introduced in the mid-1990 s can no longer cope with the analytical issues relating to the so-called "big data". The recent buzzword big data refers to large volumes of diverse, dynamic, complex, longitudinal and/or distributed data generated from instruments, sensors, Internet transactions, email, video, click streams, noisy, structured/unstructured … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 20 Jan 2015 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCRITERIA FOR THE COMPLEXITY OF SUCCESSIVE ASTRONOMICAL PARADIGMSPanagiotis Papaspirou, Kostas Karamanos, Xenophon MoussasWe investigate the complexity of three successive astronomical paradigms in the science of Physics, namely the Ptolemaic paradigm, the Copernican paradigm and the Keplerian paradigm and mention briefly some characteristic facts about the colossal Newtonian paradigm. This complexity can be understood according to five criteria, as proposed by Thomas Kuhn, the father of the epistemological notion of the paradigm, as … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2014 · 8,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLEAF FEATURES EXTRACTION AND RECOGNITION APPROACHES TO CLASSIFY PLANTMohamad Faizal Ab Jabal, Suhardi Hamid, Salehuddin Shuib, Illiasaak AhmadPlant classification based on leaf identification is becoming a popular trend. Each leaf carries substantial information that can be used to identify and classify the origin or the type of plant. In medical perspective, images have been used by doctors to diagnose diseases and this method has been proven reliable for years. Using the same method as doctors, researchers try … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 7,362 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE THEORY OF METARELATIVITY: BEYOND ALBERT EINSTEIN’S RELATIVITYAbdo Abou JaoudeThe theory of metarelativity is a system of equations written to take into consideration additional effects in the universe and about the matter inside it. The study begins with Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity and it develops a system of equations which lead us to further explanations and to a new physics paradigm. Like special relativity which was created … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Location of Variable Impedance Devices for Stability StudiesN. Magaji, M. W. Mustafa, Ado Dan-Isa, A. U. LawanThis study used the concept of model controllability and observability in product form called residue factor to find the best location of Thyristor-Controlled based series and shunt devices called variable impedance devices. The success of this controller depends on its best possible location in busbar or line of power system network. The method is based on the relationship between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 May 2013 · 6,625 accessesView PDFCite
