Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetecting Patterns in 5’ Untranslated Regions of Genes Involved in the Regulation of Blood Pressure and Oxidative StressMaria Sanchez-Aguilar, Luz Ibarra-Lara, Beatriz Zamora-Lopez et al.Hypertension is a chronic physical condition with multifactorial causes. Although genetic factors have been associated to this pathological condition, characterization of the sequence patterns in the regulatory sites, for example, in 3’ or 5’ Untranslated Regions (UTR), remains to be explored. In particular, the 5’ UTR of genes associated with the regulation of blood pressure and oxidative stress are analyzed … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 27 Nov 2013 · 7,283 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportace of the International Council of Environmental Engineering EducationIstvan PatkoProblem statement: Due to the climatic changes and the ecological variations of the biosphere, global natural resources including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biodiversities, genetic resources and energy, radiation, electric charge and magnetism, must be safeguarded for the benefit of present and future generations through careful planning and management as appropriate. Approach: The main points of the International Council of Environmental … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 27 Mar 2012 · 7,536 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimum Setting of Controller Using Soft Computing Techniques for a Chemical SystemG. Glandevadhas, S. Pushpakumar, S.V. Muruga PrasadProblem statement: The aim of this study is to present an intelligent tuning technique for PID controller that are simple and still result in good closed loop behavior. The idea is to start with a tuned conventional PID controller, replace it with an equivalent intelligent controllers like Fuzzy, ANN, Genetic and PSO techniques implies fine tuned nonlinear PID controller which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 6 Oct 2011 · 7,496 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Pattern and Clonal Dissemination of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Spp IsolatesSobhan Ghafourian, Nourkhoda Sadeghifard, Zamberi bin Sekawi et al.Problem statement: Gram-negative pathogens harboring ESBLs have caused numerous outbreaks of infections and are becoming an increasing therapeutic problem in many countries. The incidence of ESBL-producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing over the past years resulting in limitations of therapeutic option. The focus of this study was to examine the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp, investigate … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,898 accessesView PDF Cite

Approach: In this study, we proposed a novel feature extraction approach of handwritten Arabic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,495 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVibrio cholerae O1 Strains of Different Ribotypes have Similar hlyA RFLP Patterns but Different Vacuolating AbilityJorge E. Vidal, Paula Figueroa-Arredondo, Silvia Giono-Cerezo et al.Extensive cytoplasmic vacuolation on Vero and HeLa cells in vitro by the Vibrio cholerae pore forming toxin HlyA, has been previously reported by our group. Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1 pathogenic strains show differences in the potential to induce vacuolation, here we study occurring variations on vacuolating cytotoxic ability, related to changes in the nucleotide sequence of the hlyA-orf.
