Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMixed Formulation for a Signorini ProblemTedjani Hadj Ammar, Benabderrahmane BenyattouProblem statement: This study deals with the study of a Signorini Problem (SP) of unilateral contact between two a linear or non linear elastic bodies. Approach: We present two variational formulations noted P1, P2, of the considered problem, where P1 depends on the displacement field and P2 depends on the stress field. In the linear case, under assumptions, then the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 23 Apr 2012 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Influencing Intention to use the COVID-19 Contact Tracing ApplicationVinh T. Nguyen, Chuyen T. H. NguyenDue to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments have implemented several urgent steps to minimize the disease’s effect and transmission. Supportive measures to trace contacts and warn people infected with COVID-19 were also implemented such as the COVID-19 contact tracing application. This study investigated the effects of variables influencing the intention to use the COVID-19 tracker.

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvited Review: Pathology and Epidemiology of FP VirusJirata Shiferaw Abosse, Rediet Wolde, Abdi FeyisaFowl Pox (FP) is a contagious slow-spreading viral disease caused by the FP virus, a DNA virus belonging to the genus avipoxvirus, subfamily chordopoxvirinae of the poxviridae family. It affects all ages, sexes, and breeds of chickens and is distributed worldwide with high prevalence in tropical and subtropical countries. FP is transmitted by direct contact with an infected chicken or … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2022 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAstrocytes Store for Memory and CognitionMajid Karimi BaghmalekiIn humans, protoplasmic astrocytes are found with high density in the cortex and hippocampus (both parts responsible for memory and cognition) and each astrocyte is in contact with two million of synapses. Astrocytes are responsible for the synaptogenesis and the removal of synapses, which is the basis of learning and memory. The synaptogenesis increases sevenfold with the addition of astrocytes … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2021 · 17,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContextual Analyses of Attitudes toward Persons with Physical DisabilitiesChristopher M. Amissah, Christopher K. Gadosey, Kingsley Nyarko, Collins B. AgyemangSocial desirability bias associated with attitudinal research can be minimized through contextual analyses. This study assessed attitudes toward persons with physical disabilities in three social contexts: Dating, marriage and workplace. It also examined the effects of social contact on attitudes. Using a cross-sectional survey, 202 Ghanaians were purposively sampled to respond to the Disability Social Relations Generalized Disability (DSRGD) scale. … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 8 Jan 2018 · 16,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Trilobatin on Bovine Serum Albumin: Interaction Mechanism and Molecular DockingYuhan Zhai, Yuqing Zhang, Yaping Li et al.Understanding the transport and distribution of small molecules in vivo is aided by studying their interactions with proteins. As a natural sweetener, trilobatin possesses several biological activities. However, uncertainty surrounds the trilobatin and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) interaction mechanism. In this study, the binding types, number of binding sites and binding constants of trilobatin interaction with BSA were studied by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2024 · 4,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Model for GearsAversa Raffaella, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion T. PetrescuNearly all models studying the dynamic of gearing with parallel axes are based on classical mechanical models and known which are studying the spinning vibration of shafts gears and determine their own beats and strains of shafts spinning. These classical dynamic models are very useful, but they didn't take in consideration the dynamic events formed between the two teeth in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 10 May 2017 · 7,644 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Electronic Cigarette E-Liquids on the Adhesion and Growth of Osteoblast CellsAna Carla Lorenz-Vieira, Cesar Augusto Magalhães Benfatti, Mahmoud RouabhiaElectronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes) were designed to replace traditional cigarettes to decrease the harmful effects of smoking. The liquid in e-cigarettes contains different chemicals, such as Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG), and may contain nicotine. To be more attractive, e-liquids are supplemented with flavorings. Because vaped e-liquids are shown to be damaging to oral tissues, similar effects could occur … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2023 · 5,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractPolymerisation and Oxidation of Docosahexaenoic AcidBrian Mundell Ross, Shelly Lynn Browning, Adrian McKeeOils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linseed oil, can oxidise to form polymers. These can be used as protective coatings and act as an alternative to those derived from petrochemicals. Such renewable source oils usually require the addition of metal ions as catalysts of the polymerisation process and/or the partial pre-oxidation of the oil before use. We hypothesised … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2015 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
