Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiologic Human Fluids and Swelling Behavior of Hydrophilic Biocompatible Hybrid Ceramo-Polymeric MaterialsAversa Raffaella, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Apicella Antonio, Florian Ion T. PetrescuAll synthetic and natural materials to be used in biomedical applications that involve the contact with human body need to be investigated for their physical and chemical modification induced by the human physiological fluids contact and sorption. The development and testing in human physiological equivalent fluids of new hybrid biomaterials are presented. The role of water and its equilibrium modification … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Nov 2016 · 8,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Optimal Incoherent Subcarrier Tracking of BOC(1,1) Navigation SignalsAlexandr Ivanovich PerovNavigation receivers of global positioning systems that are operated in complex electromagnetic environment must have an increased noise immunity characteristic. One way of such noise immunity rising is to use incoherent operating mode of navigation receiver. There are known processing algorithms for navigation signals with Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation. But in the near-term outlook Global Navigation Satellite Systems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 26 Sep 2016 · 7,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Properties of Local Sampling on ManifoldYury Aleksandrovich YanovichIn many applications, the real high-dimensional data occupy only a very small part in the high dimensional ‘observation space’ whose intrinsic dimension is small. The most popular model of such data is Manifold model which assumes that the data lie on or near an unknown manifold Data Manifold, (DM) of lower dimensionality embedded in an ambient high-dimensional input space (Manifold … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 26 Aug 2016 · 7,706 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNaloxone as a Harm Reduction Initiative: Misinterpretations of ResearchRichard R. MassattiIn the American Medical Journal, Annahita Beheshti and colleagues review the literature on naloxone use for opioid overdose in West Virginia (Beheshti et al., 2015). The authors cite several of my publications in support of their views on naloxone (Massatti, 2013; Massatti et al., 2014), but many of these citations misinterpret my work by using it to present a counterargument … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2016 · 8,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Design of Masonry and Reinforced Concrete Infilled Frames: A Comprehensive OverviewMarina L. MorettiDespite the extensive research on the seismic behavior of infilled frames since 1960’s, there is no general consensus towards a unified approach. Purpose of this study is to review the existing analytical and experimental research, as well as code provisions, on masonry and on reinforced concrete infilled frames. The basic characteristics of infilled frames and how these affect seismic performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2015 · 8,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVerification of Anchoring in Foundations of Wind Turbine TowersNafsika Stavridou, Evangelos Efthymiou, Charalampos C. BaniotopoulosTubular steel towers are the most common supporting structure of wind converters. The towers’ foundation covers an important part of the initial cost and its configuration depends heavily on the type of subsoil. Onshore structures are founded on spread footing foundations or pile foundations with the first being the commonest. In these spread footing foundations, the tower is either embedded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2015 · 8,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemi Active Tuned Mass Dampers of Buildings: A Simple Control OptionDemetris Demetriou, Nikolaos Nikitas, Konstantinos Daniel TsavdaridisThe present study investigates the effectiveness of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controlled Variable Damping Semi-Active Tuned Mass Damper (VD-STMD) on reducing the vibration response of an earthquake excited multi-storey structure. The effectiveness of the controlled system is evaluated by comparing the structure’s overall dynamic behavior against that of an equivalent similar structure equipped with a conventional optimally designed passive Tuned Mass … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2015 · 9,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHippocampal Pyramidal Cell Degeneration and Changes in Creb Protein in Datura stramonium Treated RatsPeter Etim Ekanem, Dare S. Sunday, Sunday Abba, Amanuel TesfayDatura Stramonium (DS) is a tropical shrub which is available worldwide. It has various uses and is often used to increase the intoxication of certain beverages. The seeds of this plant are very toxic but are commonly smoked in like manner as tobacco. The present study investigated the potential harmful effects of DS on pyramidal cells and CREB protein in … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2015 · 7,066 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Proton Radius PuzzleG. M. HuberOccasionally,“revolutions” are caused in physics when new measurement techniques becomeavailable and cause us to rethink what we thought we knew. This has recently happenedin the field of proton structure physics, where researchers have had to revisitfundamental assumptions used in their determinations of the proton's meanelectric charge radius. Until 2010, ourknowledge of the proton's electric charge radius came exclusively fromelectron-proton interactions. … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 12 Sep 2015 · 8,330 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Comfort Investigation in Three Hot-Humid Climate Theme Parks in JakartaM. Donny Koerniawan, Weijun GaoThis research presents the results of a study about thermal comfort measurement and evaluation in the theme parks. Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) is employed as a thermal index in this research. This research studied how climate impacts thermal comfort in the three biggest theme parks in Jakarta: Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), Kebun Binatang Ragunan (KBR) and Taman Impian Jaya … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 17 Aug 2015 · 8,114 accessesView PDFCite
