Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHemodynamic 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 · 7,808 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Advances in Point of Care Diagnostic Tools: A ReviewLaura Wessels, Haider RaadGlobally, there is a great need for portable, inexpensive diagnostic tools that can provide quick, accurate results using relatively small sample volumes. Point-Of-Care (POC) measurements of human saliva, sweat and/or blood capable of detecting glucose levels, foreign pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and many different viruses (HIV, Ebola, Influenza, etc.) that use microfluidics and optofluidics are close to commercial availability. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2016 · 8,234 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Architecture of Maximum Power Point Tracking for Ultra-Low-Power Based Hybrid Energy Harvester in Ubiquitous Devices: A ReviewMichelle Lim Sern Mi, Sawal Hamid Muhammad Ali, Md Shabiul IslamThis research work presents a novel architecture of an Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) based Hybrid Energy Harvester (HEH) consisting of multiple input sources such as kinetic, thermal and solar energy, harvested from passive human power. Having multiple ambient sources mitigates limitations caused by single sources especially for bodily-worn applications; however, this results in impedance mismatch among the different integrated sources. To overcome … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Silver Vine (Actinidia Polygama Maxim, Family Actinidiaceae) as an Enrichment Aid for Felines: Issues and ProspectsCharles I. Abramson, Angela Lay, Timothy J. Bowser, Christopher A. VarnonProblem statement: This study highlights the potential of using silver vine as an enrichment additive for felines. Approach: A literature review was conducted on the use of silver vine since 1973. The articles were categorized into studies concerned with behavior, biological effects, beneficial uses, plant and chemical studies. Results: We found surprisingly few studies that utilized silver vine. There were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2012 · 18,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting the Oxygenation Capacity of Disc Aerators in an Oxidation Ditch SystemAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: The use of aerobic biological methods for the treatment of livestock wastes has resulted in a proliferation of mechanical aeration devices to accomplish the desired treatment. The oxidation ditch system with disc aerators is among the aerobic systems that have been used to treat livestock waste.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Pre-Processing and Classification Techniques for Single-Trial and Multi-Trial P300-Based Brain Computer InterfacesChanan S. Syan, Randy E.S. HarnarinesinghThe P300 component of Event Related Brain Potentials (ERP) is commonly used in Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) to translate the intentions of an individual into commands for external devices. The P300 response, however, resides in a signal environment of high background noise. Consequently, the main problem in developing a P300-based BCI lies in identifying the P300 response in the presence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability of Hydraulic Conductivity Due to Multiple FactorsSanjit K. Deb, Manoj K. ShuklaSoil properties are greatly influenced by intrinsic factors of soil formation as well as extrinsic factors associated with land use and management and vary both in time and space. Intrinsic variability is caused by the pedogenesis and usually takes place at large time scales. The variability caused by extrinsic factors could take effect relatively quickly and could not be treated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 13 Aug 2012 · 10,219 accessesView PDFCite
