Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistological Features and ki-67 Index In Cervical Atypical LesionsD. Cabibi, L. Giovannelli, M. Cacciatore et al.One of the most frequent challenges in routine diagnostic assessment of cervical biopsies consists of some lesions in which histological features of HPV infection are either inconsistently present or only mildly/focally evident. We named them Atypical Lesions (AL) because differential diagnosis with metaplastic/reactive lesions and LSIL is difficult. It would be important to identify among them those lesions that are … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating E-learning Programs: An Adaptation of Kirkpatrick's Model to Accommodate E-learning EnvironmentsThair M. HamtiniProblem Statement: Kirkpatrick's model for the evaluation of training programs has been a staple in institutional learning since 1959 and is easily applicable to any training program. Approach: This model, however, was developed for traditional learning environments and has been regarded as antiquated, especially when one took into consideration the fact that institutional learning has increasingly taken on the form … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Educational Adjustment and Educational Motivation in Military and Non-Military StudentsKhodabakhsh Ahmadi, Ali Fathi-AshtianiStudents abilities to transfer from the community colleges into baccalaureate granting colleges and universities have become a global issue. The rise in students' college attendance has brought about new challenges in the area of academic motivation depriving them from educational pursuit despite proper qualifications. This comparative-descriptive study has been designed in order to compare between military and non-military students in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArithmetic Encoding Based Dynamic Source Routing for Ad-Hoc NetworksAjay Koul, R. B. Patel, V. K. BhatAn ad hoc network is a collection of mobile stations forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized coordinator. Routing messages are an essential component of Mobile Adhoc Networks, as each packet needs to be passed quickly through intermediate nodes from source to destination. Internal threats due to changes in the node behaviour that target the routing discovery … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOperating System Support for Wireless Sensor NetworksAnt A. Fröhlich, Lucas F. WannerIn a wireless sensor network, several sensor nodes obtain local data and communicate among themselves in order to create a global vision of an object of study. The idea of a self-managed network of low-power, autonomous devices, that collects data from an environment and propagates information through a wireless link brought about several new challenges and requirements in application run-time … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormesis and Exercise: How the Cell Copes with Oxidative StressLi Li Ji, Zsolt Radak, Sataro GotoContraction-induced production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been shown to cause oxidative stress to skeletal muscle, heart and other organs. As an adaptive response, muscle antioxidant defense systems are upregulated in response to exercise to restore intracellular prooxidantantioxidant homeostasis. Thus, both young and old animals and humans involved in regular exercise have shown reduced oxidative damage during acute … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Interventions in AgingSuresh I.S. RattanSingle or multiple exposure to low doses of potentially harmful agents can have a variety of anti-aging and longevity-extending hormetic effects. These hormetic stressors include irradiation, physical activity, food limitation, heat, hypergravity, dietary components and reactive oxygen species. Molecular mechanisms facilitating the hormetic effects are being elucidated and comprise a cascade of stress response and maintenance and repair pathways. Although … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV-1 Infection and Drug-Abuse in India-An Emerging ChallengeMahendra Kumar, Adarsh M. Kumar, Raymond Ownby et al.India has a population of over 1 billion and the first cases of HIV-1 infection were reported from there in 1987. Since then HIV-infection has spread there very aggressively and at present it is reported that there may be 5.7 millions individuals infected with HIV. Unlike the western countries where the infected HIV-1 virus belongs to clade B, in India … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTopology Discovering and Power saving Mechanism for Routing in a Tree of Ad-hoc Wireless NetworksArwa ZabianPower management in mobile network is an open challenges where the power level in the network influences the network life time. However, there are a trade off between the power consumption and the connectivity in mobile networks. We present a topology control mechanism and a routing protocol for Ad-Hoc wireless networks that chooses the shortest path given the lower power … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,555 accessesView PDFCite
