Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Advances in the Synthesis of Artificial Antigen and Its Application in the Detection of Pesticide ResidueTong Dewen, Hesheng Yang, Wang JinyiRecent advances in the research of artificial antigen have shown that artificial antigens can be valuable approach for the treatment of some diseases as well as the detection of pesticide residues. By directly/indirectly coupling hapten to an appropriated carrier (macromolecule), artificial antigen can induce animals to produce hapten-specific antibody. Based on this principle, various vaccines have been developed. More impotently, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Acute-phase Reactants, Immunologic Markers and other Clinical and Laboratory Parameters in Patients with Pneumonia and Non-pneumonic Lower Respiratory Tract InfectionsJulio Collazos, María del Mar Martínez, Fernando IzquierdoMore efficacious tools to distinguish pneumonia from other acute lower respiratory tract infections (OALRTI) in facilities where radiologic studies are not easily or rapidly available are desirable to select the patients who should undergo chest radiographs, to avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency wards of hospitals and to optimize health resources. To this end we analyzed the relevance of many … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,087 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProcalcitonin and Clinical Factors Associated with Severe Dengue Infection in Hospitalized Adults in MalaysiaHuzairi Sani, Nada Syazana, Zahir Izuan et al.Dengue Fever (DF) is the commonest mosquito-borne viral infection that results in hospitalisation amongst patients in Malaysia. The cornerstone of managing dengue virus infection is the prediction hence prevention of severe DF from developing. Warning signs proposed by WHO as clinical predictors of severe DF are insensitive. Procalcitonin (PCT) has been shown to increase in bacterial infections and is useful … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 3 Dec 2019 · 7,362 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF TEST PROTOCOLS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF MAGNETO-RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF FIELD-RESPONSIVE BITUMINOUS BINDERSEzio Santagata, Orazio Baglieri, Lucia Tsantilis, Arianna VercelliMagneto-rheological fluids are materials that exhibit a significant change in their rheological properties in the presence of a magnetic field. Because of such a field-dependent behavior, they can act as smart materials in applications in which changeable performances are desired. In road pavement engineering, the use of bitumen-based magneto-rheological fluids may open innovative scenarios related to the construction of smart … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 20 Jan 2014 · 6,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF GRAY LEVEL CO-OCCURRENCE MATRIX TEXTURE FEATURES FOR GLAUCOMA DIAGNOSISSakthivel Karthikeyan, N. RengarajanGlaucoma is a multifactorial optic neuropathy disease characterized by elevated Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP). As the visual loss caused by the disease is irreversible, early detection is essential. Fundus images are used as input and it is preprocessed using histogram equalization. First order features from histogram and second order features from Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) are extracted from the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 24 Dec 2013 · 7,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Potential in Lipophilic and Hydrophilic Extracts from Medicinal Herbs (Salvia officinalis and Echinacea angustifolia). A Comparison Between Assays Based on Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and SpectrophotometryFlavia Navari-Izzo, Riccardo Izzo, Mike F. Quartacci et al.Recently, detection of antioxidant activity of plant extracts has caught the attention of researchers. Determination of antioxidant activity is usually performed using stable free radicals. A number of assays is available for screening the antioxidant activity of food constituents, but few of these methods are applicable to lipophilic substances. EPR is the analytical technique that directly measures free radicals making … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2012 · 9,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMarkov Regime Switching Modelling and Analysis of Socially Responsible Investment FundsEduardo D. Roca, Victor S.H. Wong, Gurudeo Anand TularamProblem statement: An increasing proportion of Australian superannuation funds are being placed in Socially Responsible Investments (SRI). Yet, there is no clarity in the literature as regards the risk and return characteristics of these investments and how their performance is affected by different states of the market and sector. Approach: We examine the sensitivity of Australian SRI Funds to movements … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2011 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeart Rate Variability Analysis in Different Age and Pathological ConditionsM.E.S. Chelladurai, N. KumaravelProblem statement: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has been used as a measure of mortality primarily with patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) demands specific capabilities which are not provided either by parametric or nonparametric conventional estimation methods. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) adaptively estimates the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of nonlinear nonstationary signals. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign Analysis of High-Speed Axial-Flux GeneratorM. Sadeghierad, A. Darabi, H. Lesani, H. MonsefProblem Statement: Axial flux permanent magnet machines are regarded as compact high efficiency generators for micro-turbines employed in the distributed power generation systems. High-speed rotor of the generator causes some designing and modeling problems. Sensitivity analysis tasks of the machine parameters are difficult and completely different in comparison with the problems associated with conventional machines. Approach: This article presents a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of an Automatic Blast Furnace through Integrated Simulation ModelingAli Azadeh, S. F. GhaderiThe objective of this study was to develop an integrated simulation model of an automatic blast furnace in a full-scale steelmaking factory. The integrated simulation model introduces a set of optimizing alternatives through sensitivity analysis. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the blast furnace workshop.
