Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of pH on Nonlinear Refractive Index of Bromophenol BlueF.Z. Henari, K.G. CulliganProblem statement: Bromophenol blue is a pH indicator, a kind of chemical that changes colour when pH goes up or down over a narrow linear dynamic range of 3.0-4.6 pH units. Therefore a good approach must be taken to extend the linear response of the indicator in order to have simple calibration and precise measurements of PH sensors. The purpose … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 15,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Nigella Sativa L. Essential Oil-Loaded Solid Lipid NanoparticlesNagi A. ALHaj, Mariana N. Shamsudin, Norfarrah M. Alipiah et al.Problem statement: Seeds of Nigella Sativa L., commonly known as black seed, have been used in traditional medicine by many Asian, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern Countries to treat headache, coughs, abdominal pain, diarrhea, asthma, rheumatism and other diseases. The seeds of this plant are the most extensively studied, both phytochemically and pharmacologically. The aqueous and oil extracts of the … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 17,884 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Phone Base Station Radiation Study for Addressing Public ConcernAiman Ismail, Norashidah Md Din, Md Zaini Jamaludin, Nagaletchumi BalasubramaniamProblem statement: The proliferation of mobile phone base stations had increased concerns from the public on the radio frequency radiation hazards that might come from them. The world wide public concern involved health risk due to radio frequency radiation. In Malaysia also public interest has increased, although it is not as intense as probably in other parts of the world, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency Decomposition with Enhancing Russell Measure in Data Envelopment AnalysisTien-Hui Chen, Chiao-Pin Bao, Chi-Ming Huang, I-Chiang WangProblem statement: Most studies about the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) follow the concept of radial and non-radial efficiency measures. Because of some difficulties with the measure of weights, Russell measure utilizes the mean of all input/output efficiency measurements as the efficiency score of a specific business unit. However, this may render bias. Approach: This study provided a reasonable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasonic Dental Scaler Performance Assessment with an Innovative CavitometerAntonio Henrique Alves Pereira, Camila Tirapelli, Lucimar Antonio RodolphoProblem statement: There is no specific instrument to test ultrasonic dental scalers used in dentistry. Approach: The aim of this research was to develop and test an innovative cavitometer for quantitative and automatic performance assessments of Ultrasonic Dental Scalers (UDS) through the acoustic emission produced by cavitation induced by the tip of the UDS ultrasonic transducer when immersed in aqueous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Center Interpolation Net for Classification of Composite Structures Tested Using Low Frequency Electronic TappingMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Most exhaustive NDT techniques require large capital equipment, are difficult to apply to complex geometric structures and, above all, are time-consuming to use and some take a considerable time to complete. As a solution to the problems associated with NDT applications, there is a need to establish an intelligent analysis system that supports a portable testing environment, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of the Salivary Anti-Phenolic Glycolipid-1 Antibody in Leprosy Patients as a Tool to Monitoring MultidrugtherapyN. L.B. Bonfitto, A. C.F. Motta, R. B. Furini et al.Problem statement: The upper airways has a great importance as a route of M. leprae infection and because of the possibility of identifying relevant tools by systematic patient evaluation, the detection of leprosy patients by means of salivary markers becomes important. The aim of this study was to analyze anti-phenolic glycolipid 1 (anti-PGL-1) salivary and serum titers as parameters for … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWireless Phones Electromagnetic Field Radiation Exposure AssessmentA. D. Usman, W.F. Wan Ahmad, M.Z.A. Ab Kadir, M. MokhtarProblem statement: Inadequate knowledge of electromagnetic field emitted by mobile phones and increased usage at close proximity, created a lot of skepticism and speculations among end users on its safety or otherwise. Approach: In this study, near field electromagnetic field radiation measurements were conducted on different brand of mobile phones in active mode using a tri-axis isotropic probe and electric … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,726 accessesView PDFCite
