Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZinc Phosphide Induced DNA Damage in the Blood Cells of Gallus sp. using Comet DNA AssayK. A. Muid, R. M. Shahjahan, R. Begum, R. A. BegumProblem statement: The comet DNA assay is considered a suitable and rapid test for DNA-damaging potential in environmental and biomonitoring studies. Approach: During the study comets were analyzed as a measure of DNA damage to quantify the damage in the blood cells of fowls (Gallus sp.) after exposure to Zinc Phosphide (Zn3P2). Here the potential for DNA strand breaks by … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2012 · 8,957 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrition in Tertiary Education: Biological and Social ApproachesG. A. Fragkiadakis, C. Papandreou, K. GkouskouProblem statement: Human Nutrition, a necessary component of health-education, studies the food-depended growth/maintenance of the human body. To approach what nutritionists will need to apply in the 21st century, we searched the literature for new syllabus-fields. Approach: We detected fields likely to play a significant and innovative role in university teaching of Human Nutrition; then tried a synthesis of biological … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Feb 2012 · 8,595 accessesView PDF Cite

Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractStaphylococcus aureus Vaccine Candidate from MRSA Isolates: The Prospect of a Multivalent VaccineNovra Arya Sandi, Tenri Ashari Wanahari, Isabel MacPhillamy et al.Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause various infections in humans and animals throughout the world. The increasing incidence of S. aureus infection, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is complicated by the antibiotic-resistance phenomenon. Thus, it requires new strategies to prevent wider scale of its incidence occurring. Preventative methods against infectious diseases through vaccination can prevent, control and reduce … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2015 · 8,474 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVisceral Pain: Basic Research Concepts and Therapeutic InterventionsVictor V. ChabanThe accumulation of nociceptive diseases that limit normal body functions is a major risk factor for a disability, and visceral pain is one of the most prevalent human health problems. Additionally, many pain-associated diseases are accompanied by the concomitant decline in cognitive and motor performance. The complex interplay and balance between diverse signal transduction mediators, genetic background and environmental factors … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 26 Aug 2015 · 7,152 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnt Colony Optimization for Load Management Based on Load Shifting in the Textile IndustryChaimongkon Chokpanyasuwan, Tika Bunnag, Ratthasak PrommasThe textile industry is a complicated manufacturing industry because it is a fragmented and heterogeneous sector dominated by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). There are various energy-efficiency opportunities that exist in every textile plant. However, even cost-effective options often are not implemented in textile plants mostly because of limited information on how to implement energy-efficiency measures. This paper presents the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2015 · 7,123 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTumor Suppressor P53 Gene Mutations Pattern Induced by Repeated Fried Palm Oil in RatsAbeer A.I. Hassanin, Abeer G.A. Hassan, Saadia A. Ali, Takao ItakuraThe present study aimed to examine the presence of p53 gene mutations in white albino rats fed on repeated fried palm oil. Eighteen sexually mature male Albino rats were used throughout the experiment. Rats were divided randomly into three groups, 6 animals each, namely; control group (CO) which orally administered by distilled water (NO) group which fed on basal diet … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2014 · 7,699 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrornas as Double Edged Sword in CancerBaby Joseph, Vrundha M. NairCancer is the leading causes of death world wide. Basically it can be defined as the disease of the cell. One among the mechanism of transfer of a normal cell to cancerous is the alteration in the genetic material DNA. Treatment for cancer remains as a biggest challenge. Here comes the importance of miRNAs. They are endogenous RNA which regulates … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 24 May 2013 · 6,959 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Priority Oriented Scheduling Method to Increase the Reliability of Manufacturing SystemsSeyedehfarzaneh Nojabaei, Z. Leman, S. H. Tang, S. SulaimanScheduling occurs in every organization without considering the nature of its activities. In this regard, numerous scholars have attempted to schedule via divergent methods including classical scheduling, genetic algorithm, neural network and fuzzy logic and so on. Studies in manufacturing scheduling mostly deal with priority rules without any consideration of the system states. An appropriate scheduling leads to significant enhancement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 31 Jul 2012 · 7,021 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscovery of Evolutionary Divergence of Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Photosynthesis: Fine Tuning of Biogenesis of the NifH and the ChlL by a Peptidyl-Prolyl Cis/Trans IsomeraseNara Gavini, Sinny Delacroix, Kelvin Harris Jr., Lakshmi PulakatProblem statement: Despite the structural and functional similarities between the nitrogenase that performs biological nitrogen fixation reaction and the Dark Protochlorphyllide Oxidoreductase (DPOR) that performs chlorophyll-biosynthesis, attempts to substitute nitrogenase-components with DPOR-components have hitherto failed. This investigation was undertaken to test if Chlamydomonas reinhardtii protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) reductase (ChlL) that shares some structural similarity with Nitrogenase Reductase (NifH) could complement the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,620 accessesView PDF Cite
