Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHemodynamic Catheters: The Reprocessing, Cleanliness and in vitro Biofilm Formation by Enterococcus faecium in a Continuous Flow ModelCleber Galdino da Silva, Edson Pires de Oliveira, Ednalva Miranda Guizi et al.Reprocessing single-use devices to cut costs is a common practice in hospitals around the world. In Brazil, there are few studies of reprocessing hemodynamic catheters and thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of reprocessing hemodynamic catheters before and after biofilm formation in vitro using a continuous flow model. We used a sterility test and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2015 · 7,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Unique Node Based Clustering and Location-Key Pair Based Security for Wireless NetworksT. R. Vedhavathy, M. S.K. ManikandanWireless ad hoc networks are used in emergency situations especially for surveillance and monitoring. The nodes in the ad hoc networks are self-organized and can accommodate by themselves with the available resources. The nodes are capable of random movement and hence there is no fixed infrastructure. The purpose of the ad hoc networks can be fulfilled only if all nodes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 23 Apr 2015 · 6,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCirculation of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) and Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Strains in MexicoCarlos A. Vazquez-Chacon, Armando Martinez-Guarneros, Susana Balandrano Campos et al.Emergence of Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR) Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health problem worldwide. In Mexico, the extent of circulation of XDR-TB strains is unknown. Here, the drug-resistance patterns of TB isolates collected in Mexico between 2006 and 2008 were analyzed. Among 137 TB isolates, (58%) were classified as MDR exclusively, (33%) were Pre-XDR and (9%) were assigned as XDR. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDUAL ROLES OF CANCER CELL-EXPRESSED IMMUNOGLOBULINS IN CANCER IMMUNOLOGYGregory Lee, Cheng-Yuan Huang, Suefay Liu et al.While the expression of immunoglobulins and T cell receptors on cancer cells has been well-established for decades, the potential roles and mechanisms of action of these cancerous antigen receptors have not been fully elucidated. A monoclonal antibody designated as RP215, which reacts specifically with the carbohydrate-associated epitope located on the heavy chain region of cancerous immunoglobulins and T cell receptors, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 2 Oct 2014 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRACKING THE POSITION OF MULTIPLE HUMAN GESTURES USING CONTOUR MAPPING ALGORITHMT. S. Arulananth, T. Jayasingh, S. RaviThis study relates to a method for determining the position variation (for example a moving object, facial gesture tracking) using markers. The movement is determined based on the periodic frames captured using a camera. The experimental results show that this algorithm can accurately segment human movements from complex background and can greatly reduce the computational workload with less storage memory, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 22 May 2014 · 6,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIGNED GRAPH APPROACH IN ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION POWER TO ENHANCE THE LIFETIME OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKSA. Babu Karuppiah, S. RajaramA Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises a collection of sensor nodes networked for applications like surveillance, battlefield, monitoring of habitat. Nodes in a WSN are usually highly energy-constrained and expected to operate for long periods from limited on-board energy reserves. When a node transmits data to a destination node the data is overheard by the nodes that are in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 13 May 2014 · 6,733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSOPC BASED WIRELESS REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING USING ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT CRYPTOGRAPHYA. Arun, P. Nirmal KumarRemote Patient Monitoring (RPM) provides flexible and powerful patient surveillance through wearable devices at anytime and anywhere. This can be achieved by using a Body Sensor Network (BSN), which is deployed on a human body for monitoring the healthcare. The mobile healthcare management with increased feasibility and handiness introduced several noteworthy challenges for the provider, policy makers, patient and hospitals. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 8 May 2014 · 7,198 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEGYPTIAN LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION USING ENHANCED STROKE WIDTH TRANSFORMATION AND FUZZY ARTMAPAlaa Mohamed Youssef, Mohamed S. El-Mahallawy, Amr BadrLicense Plate Recognition (LPR) is the most important type of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). LPR is used in many different types of ITS like electronic payment systems, toll station, parking fees, freeway and arterial management systems for traffic surveillance. Few years ago, Egyptians government changed the car license plate to include letters and numbers. So the needs for efficient LPR … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 28 Jan 2014 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 7,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlcohol Consumption and its Correlates Among Residents of Mining Town, Kitwe, Zambia: 2011 Population Based SurveyCosmas Zyaambo, Olusegun Babaniyi, Peter Songolo et al.Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, liver cirrhosis and cancers. It has also been associated with risky sexual behaviors, hence, attributed as a factor in the increase of HIV incidence and prevalence. A cross sectional study was conducted using a modified World Health Organizations Global Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) Surveillance Initiative NCD-STEPs 1and … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2013 · 8,051 accessesView PDFCite
