Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Rutting Depth in Flexible Pavements by Using Finite Element Analysis and Local Empirical ModelAlaa H. Abed, Adel A. Al-AzzawiThe objective of this research is to predict rut depth in local flexible pavements. Predication model in pavement performance is the process that used to estimate the parameter values which related to pavement structure, environmental condition and traffic loading. The different local empirical models have been used to calculate permanent deformation which include environmental and traffic conditions. Finite element analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMoringa Oleifera Lam Mitigates Oxidative Damage and Brain Infarct Volume in Focal Cerebral IschemiaWoranan Kirisattayakul, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Terdthai Tong-Un et al.Problem statement: At present, the therapeutic outcome of cerebral ischemia is still not in the satisfaction level. Therefore, the preventive strategy is considered. Based on the protective effect against oxidative damage of Moringa oleifera Lam.

In order to test this hypothesis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 3 Aug 2012 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCluster Based Data Consistency for Cooperative Caching over Partitionable Mobile Adhoc NetworkP. Kuppusamy, B. KalaavathiProblem statement: Data availability and consistency are foremost issues in Mobile Ad hoc Networks due to the absence of permanent infrastructure. Cooperative caching addresses the data availability issue through coordinating the mobile nodes and sharing the cache copies among them. In the meantime, the mobile node must ensure the staleness of cache copies. The consistency maintenance resolves the staleness of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 10 Jul 2012 · 6,853 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Kaempferia parviflora on Ischemic Brain Injury in the ratWathita Phachonpai, Sinthuporn Maharun, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: Stroke often causes irreversible neuronal damage and related behavioral deficits. The lack of effective and widely applicable pharmacological treatments for ischemic stroke patients may explain a growing interest in traditional plant medicines. We investigated the ability of consuming Kaempferia parviflora extract, a Thai medicinal plant reputed for neuroprotective effects against brain damage, reduced infarct volume and improve neurological … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2012 · 9,088 accessesView PDFCite
