Metaphor in a particular scientific zoological discourse in the Russian and Kazakh languages has not become the object of researchers' attention yet. The comparison of the results of the cognitive mechanism of analogy in the zoological discourse in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 13 Dec 2016 · 7,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Criteria for Evaluating the Performance of World Expo Taiwan PavilionHan-Chen Huang, I-Ying Chang, Su-Ling Wu, Wen-Pang LiaoUnder the circumstance of severe fund shortage of local governments in Taiwan, an exhibition pavilion's commitment to inheriting and passing down diverse cultures and the exhibition pavilion's business performance grows more important. This study utilizes the balanced scorecard concept, as proposed by Kaplan and Norton, reviews relevant literature, uses the Delphi method to gather and systemize opinions of experts in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 29 Aug 2015 · 6,759 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Exophiala oligosperma in a Renal Transplant Patient Successfully Treated with PosaconazoleAsaph C Levy, Sameer Rehman, Deanna A Sutton et al.Phaeohyphomycosis is an uncommon mycotic infection caused by dematiaceous fungi. We report a 53-year-old male who presented with phaeohyphomycosis on his upper extremities, 6 months after renal transplantation. Biopsy revealed pigmented moniliform hyphae and cultures grew Exophiala oligosperma. The lesions completely resolved after 3 months of treatment with posaconazole. …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2015 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Fungal Communities in Limed and Unlimed Lands Contaminated with Metals: Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) Analysis and Soil RespirationKassandre Goupil, Kabwe K. Nkongolo, Sabah NasserullaNorthern Ontario (Canada) especially the Greater Sudbury region is highly known for its nickel, copper and other metal deposits. The mining, roasting and smelting of these elements have caused disastrous effects on the vegetation and overall environment. Dolomitic lime which contains calcium and magnesium carbonate was applied to soils from 1980 to 1995 at different locations across Northern Ontario. The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2015 · 8,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEndotoxin Activity Assay: An Experience of a Southern-Italy HospitalLinda Degl’Innocenti, Flaviano Di Paola, Rizzo Marianna, Gerardino AmatoEndotoxin activity assay is a novel and rapid test capable of differentiating Gram-negative sepsis from infections carried by other bacteria. The test, moreover, represents a useful tool in the management of the septic patient. We show the data collected during a 6-year period experience, related to samples from septic patients admitted in ICU; for each patient we performed an EAA … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite

Danial, Noura El-Ahmady El-Naggar, Asem A. MohamedOptimization of alkaline protease production by Streptomyces ambofaciens NRRL 2420 in free and immobilized form was investigated using submerged fermentation technique. The optimum conditions for maximum alkaline protease production 342 unit mL-1 were 30°C at pH 8.5 and incubation time 96 h in free cell cultures using starch 20 g L-1 as carbon source and yeast extract 5 g L-1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Dec 2013 · 8,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPROCALCITONIN AS A MARKER FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF SEPSISRahim Raoofi, Zahra Salmani, Fatemh Moradi et al.Sepsis is a critical condition often caused by bacterial infection and associated with death and mortality. The prognosis of this disease depends on early diagnosis and proper treatment. Definite diagnosis of sepsis is positive blood culture and this test needs a long time to perform, so other biochemical parameters such as procalcitonin serum level has been introduced. To determine sensitivity, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
