Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMental Health Promotion among Nursing StudentsChoochart Deeromram, Amorn Suwannimitr, Suwadee JundeekrayomProblem statement: In the literature, there is no consensus over what constitutes an appropriate model for mental health promotion among nursing students in Thailand. Approach: This quasi-experimental research was conducted to evaluate the effects of mental health promotion intervention. Several activities in this intervention were created for promoting sense of coherence which focused on the manipulation of both internal and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Supplemental Fat to Low Metabolizable Energy Diets on Cholesterol and Triglyceride Contents of Broiler MeatMansour Rezaei, Atena MonfarediProblem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Volatile Metabolites from Fungal Endophytes with Biocontrol Potential towards Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. cubense Race 4A.S.Y. Ting, S.W. Mah, C.S. TeeProblem statement: Fungal endophytes are widely studied for their potential as biocontrol agents towards fungal pathogens. In vitro assessments usually reveal their antibiosis and mycoparasitism nature, but little is understood regarding their production of volatile metabolites as mechanisms of antagonism. Approach: This study explored the potential of fungal endophytes in controlling the pathogen responsible for Fusarium wilt disease. Nine fungal … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Distance and Heterosis through Evaluation Index in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.)Ebrahim Talebi, G. SubramanyaProblem statement: Synthesis of new-gene combinations by genetic manipulation is one of the powerful tools in exploiting the commercial qualities of plants and animals. Hybrid performance is evaluated from extensive yield trials that are costly and time consuming. Approach: Four silkworm races belonging to two different voltine groups (two multivoltine races namely Pure Mysore and Nistari and two bivoltine races … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroup Re-keying Protocol Based on Modular Polynomial Arithmetic Over Galois Field GF(2n)Sundaram Sudha, Azman Samsudin, Mohammad Ahmad AliaProblem statement: In this study we propose a group re-keying protocol based on modular polynomial arithmetic over Galois Field GF(2n). Common secure group communications requires encryption/decryption for group re-keying process, especially when a group member is leaving the group. Approach: This study proposes secret keys multiplication protocol based on modular polynomial arithmetic (SKMP), which eliminates the need for the encryption/decryption … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,165 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementing a Vector Controller Using 68k ProcessorsMohammad Bagher, Bannae Sharifian, Mohammad Reza Feyzi et al.Problem statement: This study described the design of a 3-phase AC Induction Motor (ACIM) vector control drive with position encoder coupled to the motor shaft. Approach: It was based on free scale's (Motorola's) 68k micro processor devices. Although the free scale 56F80x (56800 core) and 56F8300 (56800E core) families were well-suited for digital motor control and offer all things was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Processing for Binary Submatrix MatchingAzzam Sleit, Wesam AlMobaideen, Mohammad Qatawneh, Heba SaadehThe heavy demand for large volumes of digital data has increased the interest in matrix-like representation. Matrices are well organized data structures which are suitable to store uniform data in order to simplify data access and manipulation. For several applications, the need is critical to efficiently search for a specific pattern in matrix structures. A pattern can be represented as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Robust Video Watermarking AlgorithmTahani Al-Khatib, Ali Al-Haj, Lama Rajab, Hiba MohammedProblem statement: Video watermarking is well known as the process of embedding copyright information in video bit streams. It had been proposed in recent years to solve the problem of illegal manipulation and distribution of digital video. Approach: In this study, an effective, robust and imperceptible video watermarking algorithm was proposed. This algorithm was based on a cascade of two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mathematical Modeling Approach to Characterize Hormesis, Caloric Restriction and Toxicity in Mortality Data from Toxicity StudiesPatricia J. NeafseyThe mortality of a population reflects the combined effects of natural aging with environmental insults (e.g. toxicant exposure, caloric restriction, over feeding, infections, etc.). No single endpoint, such as carcinogenesis, completely describes toxicant-induced effects in laboratory animals. Mathematical models of mortality and time-dependent exposure to toxicants can yield indices of net injury from all causes. With careful manipulation of diet … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,160 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigations on the Grasping Contact Analysis of Biological Tissues With Applications in Minimally Invasive SurgeryAli Bonakdar, Javad Dargahi, Rama BhatAnalytical and finite element methods are employed to determine the contact pressure on the surface of a tissue being grasped by an endoscopic grasper, in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Normally, an endoscopic grasper is corrugated (teeth-like) in order to grasp slippery tissues. It is highly important to avoid damage to the tissues while grasping and manipulation during endoscopic surgery. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,905 accessesView PDFCite
