Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF METHYL ESTER OF COTTON SEED OIL BLEND WITH DIESEL ON CI ENGINEK. Vijayaraj, A. P. SathiyagnanamPetroleum based fuels worldwide have not only resulted in the rapid depletion of conventional energy sources, but have also caused severe air pollution. The search for an alternate fuel has led to many findings due to which a wide variety of alternative fuels are available at our disposal now. The existing studies have revealed the use of vegetable oils for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 29 Oct 2014 · 6,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCAROTID PLAQUE CLASSIFICATION USING CONTOURLET FEATURES AND SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINESM. Thangavel, M. Chandrasekaran, M. MadheswaranThe aim of this study is to propose a suitable and reliable system for better diagnosis and treatment of carotid diseases. In this study, Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system has been proposed for classifying carotid artery plaques using Contourlet features. Carotid images have been acquired for 124 subjects with symptoms (Amaurosis Fugax, Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack) and 133 subjects … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 15 Apr 2014 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPOSTERIOR CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS AFTER PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONCarlo Cosimo Quattrocchi, Andrea Maria Alexandre, Laura Scarciolla et al.Percutaneous Coronary Interventional procedures (PCIs) are recognised as gold standard treatment for high risks patients with diffuse coronary atherosclerosis. Neurologic complications are one of the most dreaded procedural outcomes, stroke after PCI affects mainly elderly and high-risk patients (age more than 80 years and use of intra-aortic balloon pump), with longer times of the procedure and angiographic complications, such as … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2014 · 7,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF ETHANOL-DIESEL EMULSIONS ON THE PERFORMANCE, COMBUSTION AND EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF DI DIESEL ENGINER. Parthasarathi, S. Gowri, C. G. SaravananThe main objective of this study is to analyze the different ratio of emulsified fuels on the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of four stroke single cylinder kirloskar TV-I direct injection compression ignition engine and compared with diesel fuel under different engine loads with constant engine speed of 1500 rpm. Four kinds of test fuels were prepared namely 80% diesel, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMOTIONS STUDY OF A SINGLE CYLINDER HIGH SPEED SPARK IGNITION LINIER ENGINE WITH SPRING SYSTEM AS RETURN CYCLEA. Z.M. Fathallah, Semin, I. M. Ariana, I. GeriantoA single cylinder two stroke spark ignition conventional engine have been modified to linier engine with spring mechanism. Before develop the design of linear engine is necessary to analysis of motion. Although principle of combustion process in combustion chamber is the same in fact the oscillation movement is different. Simulation technique has been adopted to study both linear and conventional … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 17 Jan 2014 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSilkworm Pupae Protect Against Alzheimer’s DiseaseJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn Muchimapura, Artit Boosel et al.Silkworm (Bombyx mori) pupae have long been used as food and medicine in Asian countries. It is reputed for the treatment of numerous neurological disorders related to oxidative stress including stroke. Therefore, we hypothesized that silkworm pupae could attenuate memory impairment and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. In the present study, we determined the effect of silkworm pupae on the neurodegeneration … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2012 · 9,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElevated Th17 and IL-23 in Hypertensive Patients with Acutly Increased Blood PressureJunxian Wang, Jianying Chen, Can Chen et al.Problem statement: Many severe cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart attack can result from acutely increased blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear despite of extensive study. To characterize the inflammatory mechanisms in hypertensive patients with acute blood pressure increase, we tested circulating Th17 levels, IL-23R expression and plasma levels of IL-17 and IL-23 in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 May 2012 · 7,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Palm oil Biodiesel Blends as a Fuel for Compression Ignition EngineB. Deepanraj, C. Dhanesh, R. Senthil et al.Problem statement: The increasing awareness of the environmental hazards and the alarming levels of air pollution have led to more restrictive regulations on engines emission control in recent years. Approach: The dwindling resources and rising cost of crude oil had resulted in an intensified search for alternate fuels. In the present study biodiesel (palm oil methyl ester) blends with diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 7 Oct 2011 · 8,222 accessesView PDFCite
