Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXPOSURE TO SWINE HOUSING DUST MODULATES MACROPHAGE MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTIONRuth J. Pender, Radiah C. Minor, Steven L. Hurley et al.Swine Confinement Facility (SCF) dust consists of a complex mixture of feed grain particles, bacterial components, organic particulates and gases. When these particles are inhaled they deposit along the respiratory tract and mediate respiratory symptoms and disease in swine farmers and facility workers. Macrophages ingest and eliminate microbes and debris under chronic conditions; however, the role of macrophages in agricultural-related … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMODELING THE UNIVERSE AS A QUANTUM WELLMichael Harney, Julie SealBy modeling the Universe as a quantum well for standing waves and solving Schrodinger’s equation for a particle trapped in this well, the solutions for the allowable rest-energies of all particles in the Universe are obtained, from the mass of the photon up to the mass of the Universe. The quantum numbers that predict the allowable rest-energies of all particles … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2014 · 8,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BIOPHYSIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SETTLED LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY HOUSING DUSTSCarresse Gerald, Christi McPherson, Tha’Mes McDaniel et al.The levels and composition of agricultural dusts are influenced by animal species, production strategy, housing type and ventilation efficiency. Agricultural dust within animal houses is complex and consists of feed particles, microbes and their products, dander, fecal matter, gases, metals and other organic and inorganic components. Livestock and poultry production facilities may be categorized as confinement, semi-confinement or pasture-based. Characterization … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 16 Jan 2014 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTIVENESS OF SECOND BEST PARTICLE INFORMATION FOR PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATIONEisuke Kita, Young-Bin ShinParticle Swarm Optimization (PSO) represents the potential solutions of the optimization problem as the particles and then, the particles move in order to find the better solution. The particle positions are updated from the personal best and the global best particle positions which have been ever found. This research focuses on the use of the second personal best and the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2013 · 6,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Process Conditions on Measles Virus StabilityK. Weiss, D. Salzig, J. Gerstenberger et al.Recombinant measles viruses are currently tested in clinical trials as oncolytic agent to be applied in cancer therapy. Contrary to their use as vaccine where 103 infectious virus particles per dose are needed, for cancer therapy 109 virus particles should be provided per dose. This leads to other challenges for the production process when compared to vaccine production. This study … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 9,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKEY PARAMETERS OF MEASLES VIRUS PRODUCTION FOR ONCOLYTIC VIROTHERAPYK. Weiss, D. Salzig, M. D. Mühlebach et al.Attenuated measles virus has revealed selective tumor cell killing and is currently tested in clinical trials for the therapy of cancer patients. The amount of infectious particles per dose needed for oncolytic therapy can be more than a million times higher compared to vaccination. This requires highly effective production processes which guarantee the measles virus quantities needed for its use … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 9,791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Properties of Corn ResiduesYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiCorn residues (cobs, leaves and stalks) are abundantly available renewable materials that can be used as an energy source in gasification and combustion systems. Proper understanding of the physical properties of these materials is necessary for their use in thermochemical conversion processes. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of corn cobs, leaves and stalks were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 19,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNatural Sensitizer for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Three Layers of Photoelectrode Thin Films with a Schottky BarrierHo Chang, Mu-Jung Kao, Tien-Li Chen et al.Problem statement: This study combines Au nanoparticles with TiO2 nanoparticles to form a Schottky barrier and applies it to the photoelectrode thin film of Dye-Sensitized Solar cells (DSSCs). Approach: First, commercial TiO2 powder (Degussa P25) was put into the alkaline solution to prepare TiO nanotubes (Tnt) by a hydrothermal process. Tnt were sintered at 550° to obtain TntC550 particles and … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,990 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeta Heuristic Algorithms for Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic DemandsGeetha Shanmugam, Poonthalir Ganesan, Dr. P.T. VanathiProblem statement: The shipment of goods from manufacturer to the consumer is a focal point of distribution logistics. In reality, the demand of consumers is not known a priori. This kind of distribution is dealt by Stochastic Vehicle Routing Problem (SVRP) which is a NP-hard problem. In this proposed work, VRP with stochastic demand is considered. A probability distribution is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 8,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuffering Capacity of Fast-Growing Species and Curing Time of UF Resin Modified With Zinc Borate and Monoammonium PhosphateIzran Kamal, Koh Mok Poh, Tan Yu Eng et al.Problem statement: Occupying a suitable hot pressing time for particleboard fabrication seems very tricky for manufacturers of the wood-based panel. Longer or shorter pressing times can affect physical and mechanical properties of the produced particleboards and that is why extra care should be given on this matter. Longer pressing time can cause resin in a particleboard to over-cure whereas shorter … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
