Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of Malaria ControlEmmanuel Chanda, Mulakwa Kamuliwo, Richard W. Steketee et al.Malaria remains a serious global public health problem and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in sub Saharan Africa. In Zambia the disease is endemic with stable transmission, accounting for 40% of all out-patient attendances and is responsible for 20% deaths among children under five. Scaling up of scientifically proven high impact preventive, curative and supportive interventions and deploying … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Apr 2013 · 7,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Atmospheric Turbidity and its Correlation with Climatologically ParametersU. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanStudy of Atmospheric turbidity is important for purposes of meteorology, ecology, climatology and monitoring of atmospheric pollution. Linke Turbidity factor (LT) is commonly used to model the attenuation of solar radiation in the atmosphere. The probable dependence on the water vapor content of the relationship linking LT to Angstrom’s turbidity coefficient B, is discussed. In this study, a procedure for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPro-Active Prevention of Clone Node Attacks in Wireless Sensor NetworksK. M. Anandkumar, C. JayakumarProblem statement: Wireless mobile sensor networks are deploying large, self-organized and adaptable sets of sensors for many applications such as military, environmental, health care, remote monitoring and other applications. Unfortunately, the simplicity and low-cost of these sensors make eases cloning of compromised nodes by attackers in the network. Due to the unattended nature of wireless sensor networks, an adversary can … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 28 Aug 2012 · 7,072 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Survey of Intrusion Detection Schemes in Wireless Sensor NetworksMurad A. Rassam, M. A. Maarof, Anazida ZainalWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are currently used in many application areas including military applications, health related applications, control and tracking applications and environment and habitat monitoring applications. The harsh and unattended deployment of these networks along with their resource restrictions makes their security issue very important. Prevention-based security approaches like cryptography, authentication and key management have been used to protect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepatitis B Virus DNA Can be Amplified Directly From Dried Blood Spot on Filter PaperNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Mamdouh Z. Abadeer, Sheref M. El-TaherHepatitis B Virus (HBV) infections represent a major public health problem because of the ability of HBV to cause a chronic carrier state. Even though chronic carriers remain largely asymptomatic, a large number of these individuals subsequently develop cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinomas. Dried Blood Spot (DBS) samples are a simple and inexpensive sampling method, especially useful for blood collection … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 8,454 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Erythrocytic Determination of Anemic Condition among Human Immunodeficiency Virus Sero PositivesM. Andrew Pradeep, M. Thiruvalluvan, V. DhamodharanProblem statement: Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is growing health hazard throughout the world. In developing countries like India anemia is highly prevalent in the population due to the malnourished condition apart, HIV infection is one among the major cause of anemia. The outcome of certain infectious diseases including HIV is worse when the host is malnourished. HIV infection is … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,419 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccumulation of Heavy Metals in Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) from Al-Khadoud Spring, Al-Hassa, Saudi ArabiaMohammed A. Al-KahtaniProblem statement: Al-Khadoud Spring is one of the largest spring in Al-Hassa governorate (Saudi Arabia). Due to the extended domestic activities and urbanization as well as the continuous industrial and agricultural growth of the region, spring water quality is potentially changing. Approach: This study was conducted to measure toxic heavy metal concentrations in water and fish samples along the spring … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 11,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMountain Sheep: An Environmental Epidemiological Survey of Variation in Metal Exposure and Physiological Biomarkers Following Mine DevelopmentLawrence K. Duffy, Michael W. Oehler, R. Terry Bowyer, Vernon C. BleichProblem Statement: Anthropogenic activities, such as mining and industrial operations, are a major environmental source of metal exposure for wildlife. Quantitative data regarding biochemical effects of exposure to mineral extraction on mountain sheep, Ovis canadensis, are limited, although their habitats are becoming increasingly affected by expanded resource development. Decisions relating to environmental protection and wildlife conservation should be based on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of The Biological Integrity of The Native Vegetative Community In A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC. C. Galbrand, A. M. Snow, Abdel E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA study was conducted to evaluate the biological integrity of a constructed wetland receiving landfill leachate and stormwater runoff from the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The biological integrity of the constructed wetland was tested in the second growing season using vegetative community monitoring. The metrics analyzed were species diversity, species heterogeneity (dominance) and exotic/invasive species abundance. There was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodicity of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in a Mathematical Model that Incorporates ComplacencyFlugentius Baryarama, Livingstone S. Luboobi, Joseph Y.T. MugishaAn HIV/AIDS model incorporating complacency for the adult population is formulated. Complacency is assumed a function of the number of AIDS cases in a community with an inverse relation. A method to find the equilibrium state of the model is given by proving a stated theorem. An example to illustrate the application of the theorem is also given. Model analysis … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,631 accessesView PDFCite
