Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpirulina protects against cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity in ratsAmr Amin, Alaaeldin A. Hamza, Sayel Daoud, Waleed HamzaCadmium (Cd) is an environmental and industrial cumulative pollutant that most affects many organs specially the liver. The protective effect of Spirulina, filamentous blue green algae, on Cd – induced oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity was evaluated in male rats. Oral administration of water extract of Spirulina for seven days followed by an acute toxic dose of Cd (3.5 mg kg … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 11,533 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Economic Feasibility of Rebuilding Al-Isra University Tunnel — Mechanical FactorsBassam Al-HelouEconomic feasibility is the cornerstone in the decision making on an economic venture. The more positive the economic signs, the less the risk and foreseen losses. This study throws light on some economic advantages of rebuilding Al-Isra tunnel, especially in terms of shortening the car/bus trip by six kilometers go and fro, and in terms of reducing the trip schedule … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Administration of Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH) on Some Hematological Values of Alloxan-induced Diabetic RatsKamal M.S. MansiThis study was designed to evaluate the role of alpha- melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) on heart rate and some hematological values in alloxan induced diabetic rats. 40 male white rats were divided into four experimental groups: control, diabetic, α-MSH-treated and α-MSH-treated diabetic. At the end of the experimental period (3weeks), animals in all four groups were fasted for 12 hrs … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntitussive Activity Directed Isolation of Compounds from Onosma hispidumShahina Naz, Rafeeq A. Khan, Rahmanullah Siddiqi, Syed A. SayeedThe chemical investigation of the ethanolic extract of the root bark of Onosma hispidum following antitussive activity directed isolation led to the isolation of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy cinnamic acid (mCA) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzoic acid (mBA) which have been reported for the first time in this species. Antitussive activity of the compounds was evaluated by reduction in frequency of cough induced by SO2 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Supplementary Bioavailable Carbon on the Thermal and Biological Kinetic Parameters of the Composting Process of Tomato Plant TrimmingsA.E. Ghaly, F. AlkoaikThree laboratory-scale bioreactors were used to investigate the influence of bioavailable carbon addition on the composting process of tomato remains. Sugar, cheese whey and used cooking oil were used as bioavailable carbon sources. The amounts of materials added to the compost mixture had equal energy contents. The initial moisture contents and C: N ratios of the compost mixtures were maintained … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of A New, Rapid, Amperometric Immunosensor for the Detection of Low Concentrations of Bacteria Part I: Design of the Detection System and ApplicationsEric Carnes, Ebtisam WilkinsA portable, flow-through amperometric immunoassay system utilizing a newly designed immunosensor has been developed for the detection of bacteria. A sandwich scheme of immunoassay involving two stages of immunoreaction was employed using Escherichia coli as a model. E. coli antibodies were immobilized on Toray carbon paper to create a disposable immunofiltration membrane. Detection of the bacteria was achieved through the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,363 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParsimonious Var Models For Air Pollution Dynamic AnalysisFontanella lara, Granturco mariagraziaWe discuss a framework to obtain temporal predictions for an evolving spatial field regularly sampled in time at arbitrary spatial locations. Difficulties caused by large data sets and the modelling of complicated spatio-temporal interactions limit the effectiveness of traditional space-time statistical models. In this study, we propose the use of a flexible approach to deal with large and small time-scale … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHospital Wastewater Treatment Using an Integrated Anaerobic Aerobic Fixed Film BioreactorA. Rezaee, M. Ansari, A. Khavanin et al.The design and operation of wastewater treatment systems for hospital is a challenge for wastewater engineers. In this study, a pilot-scale system integrated anaerobic-aerobic fixed film reactor for hospital wastewater treatment was constructed and its performance was evaluated. The aim of the study was the elimination of organic compounds and a significant reduction of bacteria. The system had been operated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunohistochemical Detection of Apoptosis-Related Proteins in Gerbil Hippocampus Transient Cerebral Ischemia: Neuroprotective Effect of PitavastatinToshiki Himeda, Natsumi Hayakawa, Hiroko Tounai et al.Delayed and selective neuronal damage was caused in the CA1 sector of hippocampus following 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils. We investigated the immunohistochemical alterations of apoptosis-related proteins such as bcl-2α, bcl-xs/l, bax, cytochrome c, and active caspase 3 and TUNEL staining in the hippocampus at 1 and 5 hr and 1, 2, 5 and 14 days after … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Diagnosis on Discrete Event SystemsSihem Kechida, Nasr Eddine DebbacheThe modern technology advances to a point where it is possible and extensively desirable to improve reliability and the technical process safety.
