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 ... -
Modulation of gastric mucosal inflammatory responses to Helicobacter pylori by ghrelin: Role of cNOS-dependent IKK-β S-nitrosylation in the regulation of COX-2 activation
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)Disturbances in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) isozyme systems, manifested by the excessive NO and prostaglandin (PGE2) generation, are well-recognized features of gastric mucosal inflammatory responses ... -
Molecular characterization and species composition of anopheline vectors of malaria along an altitudinal gradient on the highlands of Mambilla Plateau Northeast, Nigeria
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020-01-01)Diversity of species arises majorly from speciation and this has serious epidemiological implications to disease transmission. The study aimed to determine the species of anopheline vectors of malaria present in five ... -
Molecular cloning and characterization of fruit specific promoter from Cucumis sativus L.
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)The isolation and characterization of fruit specific promoters are critical for the manipulation of nutritional value and agronomic quality of fruits by genetic engineering and also opened a new era in edible vaccine ... -
Molecular docking investigation for Indonesian H274Y mutant neuraminidase type 1 with neuraminidase inhibitors
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)The aim of this study is to get insight the interaction between Indonesian H274Y mutant neuraminidase with four inhibitors. Not only to seek preferable inhibitor to be used, but also to investigate the interaction occurred, ... -
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Atomistic Detailed Hydration Structures of Poly(vinyl methyl ether)
(2015-11)Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on the aqueous solutions of Poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) at various concentrations. Both radial and spatial distribution functions are used to investigate the detailed ... -
