Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Novel Metal Accumulating Extracellular Protease Secreting Bacteria from Marine Coastal Region of Digha in West Bengal, IndiaSusmita Roy, Kaushal Mishra, Sanhita Chowdhury et al.Problem statement: The objective of the present piece of work was to explore the existing biodiversity of protease secreting microbes in a marine ecosystem, the site selected being the coastal region of West Bengal (Digha), India. Approach: The culture dependent method was used for isolation and characterization of novel microbes from the point of biotechnological application. The isolate obtained was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEr: YAG Laser Device for Taking Blood SamplesJosé L. Cabrera, Luis Ponce, Miguel Arronte et al.Problem statement: Secure methods for blood sampling which is performed at present by metallic lancets, has been a concern in the modern medicine in order to diminish the risk of contamination. A novel solution has appeared recently and consists in the use of laser pulses which ablates a tiny hole in skin. Approach: A laser device with Er: YAG active … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombining ANP and TOPSIS Concepts for Evaluation the Performance of Property-Liability Insurance CompaniesHui-Yin Tsai, Bao-Huey Huang, An Siou WangThis is a significant problem for the property-liability insurance industry. The study first uses Modified Delphi Method to sift influence property-liability insurance effects out norms. Moreover, the evaluation weights are determined using Analytic Network Process (ANP). Finally, the technique for ordering preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) constructs performance evaluation model of property-liability insurance companies in Taiwan. This … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAging Study and Lifetime Estimation of Transformer Mineral OilMohammad R. MeshkatoddiniProblem statement: Power transformer is the most expensive equipment in electrical network; and the mineral oil has the main roles of insulating and cooling in it. Oil is subjected to the degradation because of the ageing, high temperature and chemical reactions such as the oxidation. Then the oil condition has to be checked regularly and reclaimed or replaced when necessary, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 11,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChaos Control in Nonlinear Systems Using the Generalized Backstopping MethodA.R. Sahab, M. Haddad ZarifOne of the most important nonlinear systems for checking the abilities of control methods is chaos. In this study chaos in Lorenz system was used for checking abilities of new control method. This new method to control nonlinear systems was called Generalized Backstepping method because of its similarity to Backstepping but its abilities to control more systems than Backstepping. This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Permanent Deformation of Pavement's Unbounded Layers Based on Cyclic Triaxial TestsB. ŽlenderThis research presents an analytical model for determining permanent deformation of pavement's sub-grade and unbound granular base and sub-base material due to cyclic traffic loading. The model is given for interpreting results of repeated load triaxial tests. It considers long term elastoplastic behavior and resilient behavior of sub-grade and unbound granular material. Permanent deformations are expressed as a function of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Optimization of Composite I Beam Floor SystemUroš Klanšek, Stojan KravanjaThe paper presents the cost optimization of the composite I beam floor system. The composite I beam floor system is designed to be constructed up of a reinforced concrete slab and doubly-symmetrical welded steel I beams. The optimization was performed by the nonlinear programming approach, NLP. An accurate objective function of the manufacturing material, power and labour costs was developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Alloxan-Diabetes on Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP) Immunoreactivity in the Gastrointestinal Tract, of Sprague Dawley Rats and How This May Affect Some of the Diabetic ComplicationsEdward O. Uche-Nwachi, Camille V. MitchellGastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is the mammalian analogue of bombesin. Both neuroendocrine peptides have similar distribution, functions and immunoreactivity. The immunoreactivity for GRP has been demonstrated in the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. This peptide is reported to have various biological and pharmacological properties, which include the release of gastrointestinal hormones, control of satiety, gastrointestinal motility and stimulation of cellular proliferation … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV Prevention Intervention Outcome among Minority Adolescents in Court Mandated Drug TreatmentJessy Devieux, Robert C. McMahon, Rhonda Rosenberg, Robert M. MalowProblem statement: Delinquent adolescents with substance abuse disorders frequently engage in behaviors that elevate their risk of contracting HIV. Although effective risk reduction interventions are urgently needed, there is uncertainty about the nature of interventions required to produce change. Approach: This study evaluated whether Modified version of Becoming A Responsible Teen (M-BART) produced greater reductions in drug use and sexual … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,339 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmploying New Mathematical Models and Equations to Evaluate Risk-Benefit Criteria of Clinical TherapeuticsDa Yong Lu, Ting Ren Lu, Jian DingCurrent preclinical and clinical evaluation of a drugs or therapy is at first to find out a maximum toxicity tolerance, which is overall fixed. The potential therapeutic dosage will be ranged just lower or within the periphery of these maximum tolerant data. A hidden acceptance among general researchers lies as the toxicity concentration of a drug is always the same … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
