Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTelomere Length Measurement by Quantitative Real-time PCR: A Molecular Marker for Human Age PredictionNaglaa F. Alhusseini, Abdelmonem G. MadbolyThe fact that telomere shortening occurs with aging leads to the hypothesis that a correlation could be made between Telomere Length (TL) and suspect age. This study aimed to assess if TL can be used as an investigational tool to predict human age through developing a formula based on this correlation with accuracy suitable to be applied in forensic practice. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2016 · 8,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMEASUREMENT OF RADON EXHALATION RATE, RADIUM ACTIVITY AND ANNUAL EFFECTIVE DOSE FROM BRICKS AND CEMENT SAMPLES COLLECTED FROM DERA ISMAIL KHANNisar Ahmad, Mohamad Suhaimi Jaafar, Sohail Aziz Khan et al.Radon concentration, exhalation rate, radium activity and annual effective dose have been measured from baked and unbaked bricks and cement samples commonly used as construction material in the dwellings of Dera Ismail Khan City, Pakistan. CR-39 based NRPB radon dosimeters and RAD7 have been used as passive and active devises. The values of radon concentration for baked, unbaked bricks and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Dec 2013 · 8,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAUTOMATIC RETINAL VESSEL TORTUOSITY MEASUREMENTNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Enas Hamood Al SaadiRetinal vascular vessels have the role to indicate the retinal diseases and for systematic diseases when there are any abnormalities in retinal vascular pattern. A characteristic of the vascular pattern that is appreciated by clinicians is vascular tortuosity, i.e., how curved or kinked a blood vessel, either vein or artery, appears along its course. In this study we suggest a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRETRACTED: Analysis of Interfering Substances in the Measurement of Malondialdehyde Content in Plant LeavesYunSheng Wang, MaoDi Ding, XunGang Gu et al.The Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) reactive substances assay is an easy and quick assay for the assessment in plants of lipid peroxidation, in which Malondialdehyde (MDA) is derivatized. To analyze the applicability of this method, the MDA concentrations in the leaves of different plants were measured by the TBA method. To further separate the interfering substances, fractional extraction and Gas Chromatography-Mass … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 9,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAutomatic Measurement of Drilling Parameters to Evaluate the Mechanical Properties of SoilsDaniele Pettinau, Pierpaolo Oreste, Marilena Cardu, Davide GuidarelliAny underground work, carried out either to perform excavations, should be based on detailed knowledge of the geological, hydrogeological and geomechanical conditions of the underlying materials. The continuous automatic diagraphy is a test that consists in the continuous surveying of drilling parameters, with total destruction of the core, which can be used, together with geognostic probing surveys and a detailed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite

Significant improvement has taken place in the management of resources associated with manufacturing systems, to reduce the wastage of resources. The Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) concept provides a quantitative … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 3 Feb 2013 · 8,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Efficiency Measurement of Parallel Production Systems: A Non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis ModelAli Ashrafi, Azmi Bin Jaafar, Mohd Rizam Abu Bakar, Lai Soon LeeProblem statement: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric technique for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of production systems or Decision Making Units (DMU) that have multiple inputs and outputs. Sometimes, DMUs have a parallel structure, in which systems composed of parallel units work individually; the sum of their own inputs/outputs is the input/output of the system. For … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 9,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhotoacoustic Measurement of Thermal Diffusivity of Polypyrrole Conducting Polymer Composite FilmsM. Y. Lim, W. Mahmood Mat Yunus, A. Kassim, H.N.M.E. MahmudThe thermal diffusivity has been measured for the Polypyrrole-Polyethylene Glycol (PPy-PEG) composite films by the open photoacoustic method. The experimental data were analyzed for thermal diffusivity by fitting procedure. The different process parameters such as different concentrations of insulating polymer, monomer and electrolyte and the different voltages used to prepare the PPy-PEG composite films brought changes in thermal diffusivity. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThermal Effusivity Measurement of Virgin Coconut Oil-Methanol Mixtures using Photoacoustic TechniqueFiras Kamel Mohamad Al-asfoor, W. Mahmood Mat Yunus, Azmi Zakaria et al.Thermal effusivity of virgin coconut oil-methanol mixtures were measured using open photoacoustic cell technique. The samples were prepared by simply mixing virgin coconut oil and methanol using similar procedure applied for preparation of biodisel. Thermal effusivity of the sample was obtained by fitting the experimental data of photoacoustic amplitude signal to the expression of photoacoustic signal as a function of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasurement of Software Maintainability Using a Fuzzy ModelK. K. Aggarwal, Yogesh Singh, Pravin Chandra, Manimala PuriSoftware maintenance is a task that every development group has to face when the software is delivered to the customers' site, installed and is operational.
