Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStatistical Modelling of Botswana’s Monthly Maximum Wind Speed using a Four-Parameter Kappa DistributionOliver Moses, Bhagabat Prasad ParidaWind speed modelling has been key to many environmental and engineering applications, particularly in environmentally friendly wind power generation to meet energy demands. Efficient assessment of wind speed at different recurrence intervals requires the choice of a suitable statistical distribution and an unbiased method of parameter estimation. This study suggests the use of a four parameter Kappa distribution, with its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 22 Jun 2016 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUse of an Extremely Biodiverse Probiotic and a Supplement Based on Microbial Chondroitin Sulfate is Associated with a Significant Decrease of Serum Free Kappa Light Chains as well as a Trend Toward Normalization of Kappa/Lambda Ratio and of Plasma Cell Bone Marrow Infiltration in a Case of Multiple MyelomaNicola Antonucci, Stefania Pacini, Marco RuggieroWe describe the case of a 71-year-old woman with multiple myeloma associated with severe chronic renal insufficiency who, since October 2018, assumed a novel, extremely biodiverse, probiotic and a supplement based on microbial chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D3 and ultrapure phosphatidylcholine; such a nutritional regimen was associated with a dramatic decrease of serum free Kappa light chains (from 2,190 to a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 18 Jun 2019 · 27,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B (RANK) and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) in Osteoporosis Risk: Gene Polymorphism and Soluble RANKL Level in Indonesia Post-Menopausal WomenLuluk Yunaini, Dwi Anita Suryandari, Linda Kusdhany et al.Hormonal changes in postmenopausal women may increase osteoclastogenesis that can lead to increased risk of osteoporosis. Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B (RANK) and Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) have an important role in osteoclastogenesis that involve in the regulation of bone resorption. In this study, we analyzed the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) within the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2018 · 8,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleANOTHER CANDIDATE IG KAPPA-LIKE GENE IN THE SEA STAR A. RUBENSMichel LeclercIn a recent paper we have shown that Ig Kappa genes (region MOPC 63, region K2), of 250 nucleotides each, were present in the sea star Asterias rubens. Two years later, a 697 nucleotide Ig Kappa chain V-V region K2 gene was accentuated. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2013 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA True &#34Candidate Ig Kappa Gene&#34 in the Sea-Star: Asterias rubens (Echinoderma)Michel Leclerc, Patricia Otten, Magne OsterasThe axial organ of the sea-star Asterias rubens is a primitive immune organ. The B-like cells, when stimulated by various antigens, produce antibody substances correlated with Ig Kappa gene. A candidate Ig kappa gene (IgK chain V-IV region S107B precursor) more convincing in term of genome was shown. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2013 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePolyherbal EMSA ERITIN Blocks Nuclear Factor-Kappa B (NF-κB) and Proinflammatory Cytokines in Irradiated MiceYuyun Ika Christina, Mansur Ibrahim, Muhaimin Rifa’iRadiation therapy is commonly used in cancer treatment that produce deleterious effects, such as normal cell death (apoptotic or necrotic) and suppression of hematopoietic stem cells. This effect was caused by ion rays that can rise to high of free radical. The high of free radical trigger the inflammation of cells. EMSA ERITIN is medicinal herb used as preventative agents … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 29 May 2015 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Nf-Kappa and HDCA and Implication of Oxidative Stress in Airway Inflammation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseGhada A. Abdallah, Nevine M. Abd-Elfattah, Hala M. Ghanem et al.Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), due to its effect on proinflammatory gene transcription. Oxidants/antioxidants imbalance is responsible for disease development. The study was designed to assess oxidative stress and inflammation in COPD patients. The level of TNF-α and IL-8 in sputum and BAL were compared. NF-κB and HDAC were measured in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2014 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLAND USE LAND COVER DYNAMICS OF NILGIRIS DISTRICT, INDIA INFERRED FROM SATELLITE IMAGERIESP. Nalina, T. Meenambal, R. Sathyanarayan SridharLand use Land cover changes are critical components in managing natural resources especially in hilly region as they trigger the erosion of soil and thus making the zone highly vulnerable to landslides. The Nilgiris district of Tamilnadu state in India is the first biosphere in Western Ghats region with rare species of flora and fauna and often suffered by frequent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 Jan 2014 · 7,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStatistical Tool for Testing Agreement Level on Continuous DatasetsBasavarajaiah Mariyappa Doddagangavadi, B. Narasimha Murthy, Netra RajpurohitVarious analytical studies explored the new innovation for testing agreement level in medical and life sciences which can be simulated by Cohen ‘κ’ based on the practical applications. From the past medical literature, many authors suggested that, there is some disproportion research gaps that exists in the statistical methods for measuring the agreements between two or more observers from ‘Cohen … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 19 May 2021 · 11,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Characterization of the Incidence Term in Epidemic Models: Interpretation of the Resulting Basic Reproduction Number in Terms of Healthcare AccessibilityFrancis BenyahWe propose a novel characterization of the incidence term in mathematical epidemic models. This new characterization takes into consideration the fact that at any given time, only a proportion $\kappa \ (0 \, \le \, \kappa \, \le \, 1)$, of infectives have access to healthcare. Infectives without access remain untreated and therefore, become reservoirs for new transmissions.The proposed incidence … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 1 Oct 2026 · 582 accessesView PDFCite
