Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (677C/T) Polymorphism in Myocardial Infarction and HypertensionHatem Al-Kordy Amin, Hanaa Fahmy Abdel Aziz, Ola Farouk Leheta, Hanan KamalHyperhomocysteinemia is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease and hypertension. This study aimed to assess the MTHFR gene polymorphisms (677C/T) as a potential genetic risk factor for hypertension and Myocardial Infarction (MI) in Egypt. Myocardial infarction and hypertensive diagnosed patients were divided into two groups; first comprised 50 patients aged 45 years and a third control group comprised 84. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural Networks Based Nonlinear Time Series Regression for Water Level Forecasting of Dungun RiverSiti Hajar Arbain, Antoni WibowoThe Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) Malaysia and Meteorological Malaysia Department (MMD) has been measured the flood characteristics benchmark which included water level, area inundation, peak inundation, peak discharge, volume of flow and duration of flooding.
