Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHeparin-PF4 Antibodies in Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia: Its Relationship with FcgRIIa PolymorphismMeganathan Kannan, Firdos Ahmad, Sarfraz Ahmad et al.We did the pilot study, in an attempt to determine the prevalence of HIT in Indians and determine its relationship, if any, to FcγRIIa polymorphism, the occurrence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) was investigated in 33 Indian patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery (CVS) who received unfractionated heparin (UFH). Platelet counts were performed prior to the initiation of UFH therapy and 5-16 days, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,432 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDetermining the Effect of Sediment Resuspension from the Activity of Phenoloxidase in Penaeid Shrimp Post LarvaeNapaporn Leadprathom, Pornpimon Teangtarn, Kedsiri Ing-kanorn et al.Problem statement: Regular sediment resuspension or dredging in coastal zones can induce stress in a postlaval penaeid shrimp, which affects immune response. Phenoloxidase is a significant enzyme in the penaeid shrimp’s immune system which, when used as a biomarker, can serve as an early warning sign in ecological systems. The stress response of shrimp postlarvae from sediment reuspension was analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2012 · 7,089 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBehavior of Stabilized Peat Soils in Unconfined Compression TestsWong Leong Sing, Roslan Hashim, Faisal Haji AliProblem statement: Deep stabilized peat columns were known to be economical at forming foundations to support highway embankments constructed on deep peat land. However, failure in the formation of the columns with adequate strength was often attributed to unsuitable type and insufficient dosage of binder added to the soil. Organic matter in peat was known to impede the cementing process … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,452 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModified Shear Box Test Apparatus for Measuring Shear Strength of Unsaturated Residual SoilBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj Ali, S. HashimResidual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. Most of these soils exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The shear strength parameters, c’ and Φ’, of soil can be obtained using conventional shear strength tests. However the conventional shear strength test equipments would not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,046 accessesView PDF Cite
