Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolymer in Agriculture: a ReviewFrancesco Puoci, Francesca Iemma, Umile Gianfranco Spizzirri et al.In agricultural field, polymers are widely used for many applications. Although they were used, in the first time, just as structural materials (inhert polymers), in the last decades functionalized polymers revolutionized the agricultural and food industry with new tools for several applications. Smart polymeric materials and smart delivery systems helped the agricultural industry to combat viruses and other crop pathogens, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 21,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Security: a Survey of Methods and SystemsRoman V. Yampolskiy, Venu GovindarajuIn this work we have reviewed studies which survey all aspects of computer security including attackers and attacks, software bugs and viruses as well as different intrusion detection systems and ways to evaluate such systems. The aim was to develop a survey of security related issues which would provide adequate information and advice to newcomers to the field as well … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplications of Real-time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction in Clinical Virology Laboratories for the Diagnosis of Human DiseasesR. Manojkumar, V. MrudulaEarly diagnosis that prevents further expansion of the causative agent and thereby aids control and eradication of infectious agents is critical for countries trying to obtain a particular disease free status. In these diagnostics speed is paramount, including the assay’s applicability, sensitivity, specificity, cost effectiveness and patentability. Real-time Reverse Transcription PCR (rRT-PCR) has revolutionized the field of molecular biology and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Characterization of Neutrophils from Nine-Banded Armadillos (Dasypus novemcicntus; Edentata, Dasypodidae) Infected with MicrofilariaeMarcela López-Hurtado, Fernando M. Guerra-InfanteThe neutrophils from uninfected armadillos have adequate phagocytic and bacteriocidal activity, but diminished chemotactic activity. However, endocytic activity from armadillo neutrophils infected with bacteria, parasites or viruses is unknown. This report shows that neutrophils from armadillos infected with microfilariae displayed deficiencies in their bacteriocidal mechanisms and TNF-like production, but not in their endocytic capacity. …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Empirical Study of Attitudes and Opinions of Computer Crimes: A Comparative Study between U.K. and the Kingdom of BahrainAdel I. Al-Alawi, Mohamed F. AbdelgadirIn this digital age we are constantly becoming more reliant on technology and information systems in all walks of life. There is no doubt that Computer systems play a fundamental role in the basic operation of almost all organizations today. The emergence of the Internet has played a major role in exploiting new opportunities and markets for many businesses today … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,059 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Murine Charged Multivesicular Body Protein 2A, CHMP2A Interacts with the 5' and 3' Terminal Regions of Dengue Virus Complementary Minus-strand RNASuchita Chaudhry, Sathyamangalam Swaminathan, Navin KhannaDengue (DEN) viruses, of which there are four distinct serotypes (DEN-1, -2, -3 and –4), belong to the Flaviviridae family. Their ‘plus’ sense RNA genomes contain Non-Translated Regions (NTRs) at their 5’ and 3’ ends. Replication of viral genomic RNA, which takes place in close association with host cell membranes, involves the initial synthesis of the complementary minus sense RNA … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSearching of Main Cause Leading to Severe Influenza A Virus Mutations and Consequently to Influenza Pandemics/EpidemicsGuang Wu, Shaomin YanThe unpredictable mutations in the proteins from influenza A virus lead to the great difficulty in prevention of possible outbreak of bird flu and pandemic/epidemic of influenza. This unpredictability is due to the fact that we know little about the causes that lead to the mutations. In three of our recent studies on the hemagglutinins from influenza A virus, we … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,970 accessesView PDFCite
