The Mesoscopic Constitutive Equations for Polymeric Fluids and Some Examples of Viscometric Flows
(2012-02)Constitutive equations for melts and concentrated solutions of linear polymers are derived as consequences of dynamics of a separate macromolecule. The model is investigated for viscometric flows. It was shown that the ... -
Metabolic Syndrome in People with HIV/AIDS
(Scientific Research, 2013-12)Background: Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) has changed the clinical picture of HIV infection by reducing morbidity and mortality rates in the population. However, alterations in lipid metabolism leading to ... -
A Method for Estimating the Participation Rate of Elder Care
(Scientific Research, 2016-06)This paper focused on estimating the participation rate of care giving to elders. We used a theoretical model frame that was in common use for analyzing activity in the labor market and adjusted it for analyzing the care ... -
A method to synthesize cDNA constructs by homology based recombination cloning
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-01)We introduce a homology-based recombination approach for generating a cDNA construct. This method depends on amplifying several exon fragments and their fusions by the homology-based recombination. This method provides a ... -

Microstrip Ultra-Wideband Filter with Flexible Notch Characteristics
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)A microstrip ultra-wideband (UWB) filter with unique shape, compactness, simplicity of operation and flexible notch characteristics is introduced. It is based on the fundamental and harmonic characteristics of a 50 Ohm ... -
The Mind-Body Problem: The Perspective of Psychology
(Scientific Research, 2018-02)The paper traces the changes in the conceptualization of body-mind relations in psychology in terms of five sequential phases. The first phase is characterized by the view that there is nothing but the body. The second ... -
Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement with Partial Lower Sternotomy
(Scientific Research, 2018-06-15)Objectives: Due to recent spread of minimally invasive surgery, the demand for minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is increasing. We investigate the usefulness of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement ... -
Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Tropical Soils Amended with Poultry Manure and Sugar Cane Straw Biochars
(Scientific Research, 2017-09)Increases in greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, upon changes in land use and agricultural management, lead to a search for techniques that enhance carbon residence time in soil. Pyrolysis increases the recalcitrance of ... -
A Mixed Integer Programming Poultry Feed Ration Optimisation Problem Using the Bat Algorithm
(Hindawi, 2016-11)In this paper, a feed ration problem is presented as a mixed integer programming problem. An attempt to find the optimal quantities of Moringa oleifera inclusion into the poultry feed ration was done and the problem was ... -
Mixed Tumor of the Appendix: A Rare Tumor Association
(Scientific Research, 2014-10)Malignant tumors of the appendix are rare. They are present in 0.1% to 0.5% of appendectomy specimens: confirmed upon histological analysis. Mixed tumors in the appendix are exceptional. We report a mixed mucinous ... -
Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Applications and Its Challenges
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-07)Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less wireless network of autonomous collection of mobile nodes (Smart phones, Laptops, iPads, PDAs etc.). Network is self-configured to reconstruct its topology and routing ... -
Modeling Evaporating Droplets in Complex Unsteady Flows
(Scientific Research, 2012-06)In many applications, a moving fluid carries a suspension of droplets of a second phase which may change in size due to evaporation or condensation. Examples include liquid fuel drops in engines and raindrops or ice-crystals ... -
Modeling the Relationship between FDI and Financial Development in Small Island Economies: A PVAR Approach
(Scientific Research, 2016-06)FDI is considered as an important source of capital investment for small island economies and is considered as a crucial tool for attaining economic growth and development. Most studies that have been done relating to ... -
Modelling of Internal Stresses in Sheet Glass during the Cooling
(Scientific Research, 2011-06)Internal stresses in glass are generated by interactions between thermal contraction, elasticity at low temperatures, viscoelastic flow at higher temperature, and temperature gradients caused by cooling. This work intends ... -
Moderate Hyperthermia Induces Apoptosis in Metaphase-Arrested Cells But Not in Interphase Hela Cells
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-06)Metaphase-arrest agents and hyperthermia are both known to be capable of inducing apoptosis, and they have been used, separately, in cancer treatments. Here, we have examined whether the two treatments together may have a ... -
