Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Post-Mating Progesterone Supplement on Pregnancy and Lambing Rates of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Jomana F. HijaziThe objective of this experiment was to determine whether post-mating progesterone (P4) supplement improves pregnancy and lambing rates in ewes bred during the seasonal anestrous period. In June, 39 synchronized to estrus Awassi ewes were allowed with four harnessed fertile rams immediately following CIDR-G device removal (day 0 and 0 hour). Five days following ram introduction, ewes were randomly assigned … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent Approaches for the Prevention of Surgical Site InfectionsSander Florman, Ronald Lee NicholsSurgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of nosocomial infection among surgical patients and are commonly caused by the patients’ own microbial flora. The prevalence of SSI is a major concern because of the associated increase in the incidence of morbidity and mortality, length of hospitalization and cost of care for postoperative patients. Key factors that determine whether … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Tropospheric Scintillation Intensity on Earth to Space in MalaysiaMandeep Singh Jit Singh, Syed Idris Syed Hassan, Mohd Fadzil Ain et al.This paper presents the results of a study on tropospheric scintillation on satellite link that has been performed at University Sains Malaysia (USM) to obtain statistics of scintillation from the 12.255 GHz Superbird C satellite with an elevation angle of 40.10. The objective of this analysis was to determine whether the long-term scintillation follows the log normal or gamma distribution. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTopical Cyclosporine A in Corneal Graft RejectionMahmood Nejabat, Jafar Khoshghadam, Masoomeh Eghtedari, Hamid HosseiniCorneal graft rejection is now the most common cause of graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty. This study was designed to determine whether, addition of 2% topical cyclosporine (CSA) to local and systemic steroids in treatment of endothelial corneal allograft rejection, would improve the outcome. A prospective randomized treatment trial was carried out on 40 consecutive corneal graft recipients, presenting with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating Soil Contamination with Kriging Interpolation MethodFatima Zohra Benmostefa LarguecheThe main objective of this study was to investigate whether Kriging is a useful tool to estimate the spatial distribution of ground pollutants in contaminated land. The second objective of this work was a more practical one. It consists on the identification of areas that should be subjected to remedial actions and also on deciding which contaminant needs to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
