Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHydro-Mechanical Constraints and Deformations in Road Embankments Using Unsaturated Low-Swelling SoilSoumaïla Gandema, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Rimyalegdo Kiébré et al.In this paper, we present the results of a simulation of the evolution of stresses and deformations in a road embankment using unsaturated low-swelling soil under hydro-mechanical pressures, modeled with the finite element code Code_Bright. We assume that this embankment, which supports asphalt, follows the Barcelona Thermo-Elasto-Plastic model (BBM-TEP). This model describes the Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behavior of unsaturated fine soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2025 · 2,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysiologic Human Fluids and Swelling Behavior of Hydrophilic Biocompatible Hybrid Ceramo-Polymeric MaterialsAversa Raffaella, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Apicella Antonio, Florian Ion T. PetrescuAll synthetic and natural materials to be used in biomedical applications that involve the contact with human body need to be investigated for their physical and chemical modification induced by the human physiological fluids contact and sorption. The development and testing in human physiological equivalent fluids of new hybrid biomaterials are presented. The role of water and its equilibrium modification … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Nov 2016 · 8,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCadmium Induced Changes in Metabolic Function of Mitochondrial Isolated from Potato Tissue (Solanum tuberosum L.)Chagra Ali, Djebar Mohammed Réda, Rouabhi Rachid, Berrebbah HouriaProblem statement: Cadmium is highly toxic at low concentrations, but the mechanism of its toxicity is still not understood particularly at the cellular and subcellular level. Approach: In this study we examined the effects of cadmium on the oxidophosphorylation properties of mitochondria isolated from potatoes. Results: Cadmium strongly disturbed the respiratory metabolism of mitochondria isolated especially in the transfer of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,838 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCocaine Exposure Results in Formation of Dendritic Varicosity in Rat Primary Hippocampal NeuronsHonghong Yao, Crystal Bethel-Brown, Anil Kumar, Shilpa BuchProblem statement: It has been well documented that drugs of abuse such as cocaine can cause enhanced progression of HIV-Associated Neuropathological Disorders (HAND), the underlying mechanisms mediating these effects remain poorly understood. Approach: In present study, we explored the impact of cocaine exposure (I and 10 μM) on the dendritic beading in rat primary hippocampal neurons. Using the approach of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,889 accessesView PDFCite

The aim of the research is to study and to prove the effective way of presowing treatment of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2017 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Physical-Hydrical Behavior of Massouhoin Coconut Tree Wood in TogoEssey Agbédidi Kossi, Amey Bollanigni Kossi et al.Wood is a very complex and anisotropic material whose properties are significantly influenced by its age and plantation areas. The purpose of this study is to determine the density distribution model of COCOS NUCIFERA (coconut tree) wood from Togo and to analyze its water behavior of physical and water properties 932 wood specimens are selected from a tree trunk from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2024 · 8,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNewcastle Disease Virus VII.2 First Record in KazakhstanMarina Kopochenya, Belan Astemirov, Karina Ivanova et al.Although the NDV vaccination program is quite intensive in Kazakhstan, disease outbreaks are occurring repeatedly. During the fall season of 2023, we effectively achieved the isolation of the Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) specifically, the class II genotype VII.2. This was accomplished in the context of an outbreak within industrial poultry layers located in the northern geographical sector of Kazakhstan. The … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2024 · 5,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupplementation with Different Concentrations of Dithiothreitol and Glutathione During Cryopreservation of Semen from Large White BoarsMahlatsana Ramaesela Ledwaba, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.The study aims to compare different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mM) of antioxidants, Dithiothreitol (DTT) and Glutathione (GSH), on sperm parameters following the freeze-thawing of semen from large white boars. Three large white boars were selected for semen collection and the collected semen was sent to the lab for analysis. Following dilution with Beltsville thawing solution and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2024 · 5,517 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractSegmental Mandibular Resection for Conventional AmeloblastomaGeorges Abi Khalil, Georges Aoun, Banine Khalifeh, Toni ZeinounAmeloblastoma is an aggressive slow growing benign epithelial odontogenic tumor usually associated with an unerupted third molar. In this report, we present the case of a 71-year-old male with a large swelling on the left mandibular region causing a remarkable facial asymmetry. After clinical, radiological and histopathological examinations the diagnosis of conventional ameloblastoma was made.
