Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Metrics of Multipath State Aware Concurrent Multipath Transfer using Redundant Transfer in Stream Control Transmission Protocol Multihoming for Symmetric PathsM. Subramaniam, D. ManjulaProblem statement: In multihomed host, if data transfer starts using CMT, unaware of paths status causes delay in data transfer or packet loss due to path failure. Transmission Path (one or more paths) failures result in out-of-order data delivery causing receiver buffer blocking and preventing sender from transmitting further data. Approach: Multipath State Aware Concurrent Multipath Transfer using Redundant Transfer … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 21 Oct 2011 · 6,802 accessesView PDFCite

Mohamed, Hala M. GhanemProblem statement: Rats fed high dietary fructose are documented to form an acquired model of insulin resistance; the present study aims to investigate possible changes in lens crystallins of rats fed high fructose diet and the effects of administration of each exogenous L-Carnitine (CA) and Cinnamon Extract (CE) on protein glycation, oxidative stress and redox homeostasis in this rat model. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 3 Aug 2011 · 8,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHandwashing Practices amongst Health Workers in a Teaching HospitalBalafama Abinye Alex-Hart, Peace Ibo OparaProblem statement: Hand washing with soap is an important means of preventing hospital acquired infections .However the rate of hand washing with soap and water is unacceptably low amongst health workers. Few studies on this subject have been done amongst health workers in Nigeria. The aims of this study were to explore perceptions, attitudes and hand washing practices amongst health … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2011 · 21,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beam Strengthened by Transverse External Post-tensionSayan Sirimontree, Boonsap Witchayangkoon, Nathavudh Khaosri, Jaruek TeerawongProblem statement: Shear failure of concrete beam is brittle manner without warning so inadequate design for shear of beam and/or material deterioration lead to the possibility of sudden failure of beam. The change of functional use and future increased load of structure lead to the need for strengthening of concrete structure. Approach: This research focuses on behaviors under static loading … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,869 accessesView PDFCite

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression among high school students and its relation to parental configurations. Approach: A cross-sectional study was conducted during first term of the academic year 2003-2004. Data was collected by Beck Depression Inventory questionnaire (BDI-21 test) and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 9,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Health and Toxic Adverse Effects of Fusarium Fungal Mycotoxin, Fumonisins, on Human PopulationW. M. Wan Norhasima, A. S. Abdulamir, F. Abu Bakar et al.Problem statements: Fumonisin was a mycotoxin produced mainly by fungi belonging to the genus Fusarium in various foods and feeds. They occurred worldwide and were found predominantly in corn and in corn-based animal feeds and also can be found in other crops. Contamination of food and feed with fumonisins has been implicated in and associated with a number of diseases … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Plant Species for Live Pole Application in Tropical EnvironmentSasan Mafian, Bujang B.K. Huat, Nordin A. Rahman, Harwant SinghProblem statement: Slope instability causing landslides, a major geologic hazard, is a risk common to most regions. Among all categories of landslides, shallow slope failures which affect many hill slopes and earthwork projects are the most wide spread and pose the most costly maintenance problem. One of the soil improvement methods that seem suitable for preventing shallow slope failures is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProximate Analysis of Dragon Fruit (Hylecereus polyhizus)Ruzainah Ali Jaafar, Ahmad Ridhwan Bin Abdul Rahman, Nor Zaini Che Mahmod, R. VasudevanProblem statement: Dragon fruit (Hylecereus polyhizus) is well known for the rich nutrient contents and it is commercially available worldwide for improving many health problems. Several studies show the proximity value of red pitaya fruits but the nutrient composition of the stem has not been extensively studied. Approach: This study was carried out to measure the proximate analysis of moisture … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 14,059 accessesView PDFCite
