Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimization of the Performance of Single-Phase Capacitor-Run Induction MotorMahdi Salman AlshamasinThe aim of the study was to suggest optimal solution for the impact of harmonics on the performance of Capacitor-Run Motor (CRM), the most commonly used single-phase motor. Therefore, investigations were carried out over the entire slip from no-load condition up to the locked-rotor condition, for harmonics of various orders in the case of using Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) speed control. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVisceral Pain: Basic Research Concepts and Therapeutic InterventionsVictor V. ChabanThe accumulation of nociceptive diseases that limit normal body functions is a major risk factor for a disability, and visceral pain is one of the most prevalent human health problems. Additionally, many pain-associated diseases are accompanied by the concomitant decline in cognitive and motor performance. The complex interplay and balance between diverse signal transduction mediators, genetic background and environmental factors … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 26 Aug 2015 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHRONIC NEONATAL DIAZOXIDE THERAPY IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ADVERSE EFFECTSMichele M. Cox, Christopher C. Wendler, Ildiko Erdelyi et al.Diazoxide is an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) agonist that has been shown to neuroprotective effects. These observations raise the possibility that diazoxide may have potential as a therapeutic agent for other applications. This study investigated (1) the long term effects of chronic neonatal administration of diazoxide and (2) the role of KATP on murin behavior and neurohistology. C57B/6J pups were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2014 · 7,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPneumatic and Hydraulic Systems in Coal Fluidized Bed CombustorZ. O. Opafunso, I. I. Ozigis, I. A. AdetundeProblem statement: This study designed the pneumatic and hydraulic systems in coal fluidized bed combustor. These are fluidization of silica sand bed material, Air distributor, centrifugal fan, electric motor power drive and surface heat exchanger. Approach: The effects of increased gas velocity on silica sand and the resultant drag force formed the basic equations in fluidization. Air distributor was introduced … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,717 accessesView PDFCite
