The Relative Effects of Logistics, Coordination and Human Resource on Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief Mission Performance
(University of Malaya, 2014-10)Most studies on humanitarian aid and disaster relief (HADR) missions suggest that the quality of logistics, coordination and human resource management will affect their performance. However, studies in developing countries ... -
Development of Teachers’ Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching by Using the Innovation of Lesson Study and Open Approach
(Scientific Research, 2014-10)This research was under context of professional development for mathematics teacher by using the innovation of lesson study and open approach project implemented by the Center for Research in Mathematics Education, Faculty ... -
On-Line Measurement of the Chemical Oxygen Demand in Wastewater in a Pulp and Paper Mill Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Scientific Research, 2014-10)Although near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been evaluated for numerous applications, the number of actual on-line or even on-site industrial applications seems to be very limited. In the present paper, the attempts ... -
Polysaccharides as initiators of nucleic acid polymerization
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-10)Quantum-chemical calculations and in vitro experiments have demonstrated that polysaccharides are able to adsorb mononucleotides due to the formation of hydrogen bonds. The subsequent dehydration of polysaccharide-nucleotide ... -
Sustained Effectiveness of a Mandatory Employee Influenza Vaccination Policy at a Cancer Center
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)Objectives: Despite the well-known advantages associated with immunization, it has proven difficult to achieve high levels of influenza vaccination among Health Care Professionals (HCPs). This report describes results ... -
Do We Have an Inborn Moral Sense?
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)This paper reviews some recent work in the relationship between caring behavior among humans, an evolutionary adaptation necessary for survival of the species, and our moral sense of right and wrong. The investigation ... -
The Relation between the Heat of Melting Point, Boiling Point, and the Activation Energy of Self-Diffusion in Accordance with the Concept of Randomized Particles
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)On the example of typical metals, it’s found that the activation energy of self-diffusion is above of the melting heat and below of vaporization heat. This corresponds to the existence of liquid-mobile particle classification ... -
Anaesthetic Challenges in Cardiac Interventional Procedures
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)The increasing scope of interventions in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) and electrophysiological laboratory (EPL) has resulted in new challenges for the anaesthesia teams where they deal with different ... -
Living Organ Donation, Beneficient Helping, & the Kantian Concept of Partial Self-Murder
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)This paper deals with the ethical issues concerning living organ donor transplantation in the context of Immanuel Kant’s Ethical Theory. It primarily aims to refute the common perception about Kant’s categorical opposition ... -
Are Background Feelings Intentional Feelings?
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)I address the problem of the intentionality of “feeling”, considering the study-case of “background feelings” (malaise, tension, etc.) in Damasio (2003, 2010). Background feelings, in fact, are “border case” feelings: ... -
Weis-Fogh Mechanism Mathematic Model of Wave Power Generation Device
(Scientific Research, 2014-12)A Weis-Fogh mechanism wave power generation system is designed, its physical model and mathematical model are discussed, and the component expressions of fluid dynamic expression are derived. Adopting numerical integral ... -
Diversity of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 Subtypes in Western Kenya
(Scientific Research, 2014-12)Background: HIV/AIDS is the principal pandemic in the world today. Two viral types (HIV-1 and HIV-2), with numerous groups (M, N and O for HIV-1 and A through H for HIV-2) have emerged. These have further proliferated ... -
The Problem of AIDS May Have Already Solved
(Scientific Research, 2014-12)This article describes an alternative approach to the problem of AIDS. The author proposes a new theory. In this theory, HIV is not a “classic virus”, but a parasitic program that does not have a material carrier. -
Quantum Chemical Studies on the Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel by Piperidin-4-One Derivatives in 1 M H3PO4
(Scientific Research, 2014-12)The corrosion inhibition properties of 2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one (DPP) (1A) and 2,6-diphenyldihydro-2H-thiopyran-4(3H)-one (DPDT) (1B) for mild steel in 1 M phosphoric acid were studied using weight loss, potentiodynamic ... -
Marine Invertebrates as Bioindicators of Heavy Metal Pollution
(Scientific Research, 2014-12)Atmosphere, earth and water compose the environment. The presence of heavy metals in the environment has grown because of their large employment in some industrial and agricultural activities. Although these metals are ... -
Protection Systems for Reinforced Concrete with Corrosion Inhibitors
(Scientific Research, 2014-12)This paper examines the use of corrosion inhibitors in order to protect the reinforcement of concrete. For this purpose mortar specimens were constructed with or without corrosion inhibitors and were partially immersed ... -
