El-TaherHepatitis B Virus (HBV) infections represent a major public health problem because of the ability of HBV to cause a chronic carrier state. Even though chronic carriers remain largely asymptomatic, a large number of these individuals subsequently develop cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinomas. Dried Blood Spot (DBS) samples are a simple and inexpensive sampling method, especially useful for blood collection … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 8,454 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulberry Fruit Mitigates Alcohol Neurotoxicity and Memory Impairment Induced by Chronic Alcohol IntakeJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Nattaporn Phunchago, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: To date, the therapeutic strategy efficacy against memory impairment induced by alcohol intoxication is still limited. The novel therapeutic strategy which is easy to approach, less toxic and less cost is required. Based on the role of oxidative stress in memory impairment induced by alcohol, the neuroprotective effect of substance possessing antioxidant has gained much attention. Therefore, we … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2012 · 9,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishing an Adaptive Production-Procurement System with Markov Chain Approach Associated with 3C TheoryChun-Ta LinProblem statement: In this study, we classify the imperfect situations that the unreliability of production and the defective products might be incurred from production process into eight independently recurrent categories. Approach: With the property of recurrence of Markov chain, the limiting probability of each imperfect production category can be calculated through the transition probabilities matrix generated from these imperfect production … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
