A Wireless Body Sensor Platform to Detect Progressive Deterioration in Musculoskeletal Systems
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-03)
Recent developments in technology have helped to reduce the physical size and weight of devices and opened up new opportunities for their application in delivering unobtrusive healthcare services. In particular, kinetic ...
Functional reconstruction of bovine P450scc steroidogenic system in Escherichia coli
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)
Mammalian cytochrome P450scc enzyme system catalyzes the initial step in steroid hormone biosynthesis—cholesterol hydroxylation followed by cleavage of the side-chain to yield pregnenolone. This system consists of three ...
Bax promoter G(-248)A polymorphism in a Turkish clinical breast cancer patients: A case-control study
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)
Bax is an important protein involved in apoptotic process. Mutations of the Bax gene are known to af- fect protein expression and function. A promotor polymorphism G(-248)A in the 5’UTR of Bax gene may alter regulation of ...
The Potential Impact of Climate Change on Soil Properties and Processes and Corresponding Influence on Food Security
(2013)
According to the IPCC, global temperatures are expected to increase between 1.1
and 6.4 °C during the 21st century and precipitation patterns will be altered. Soils are
intricately linked to the atmospheric/climate system ...
Analysis on Physical Mechanism of Sound Generation inside Cavities Based on Acoustic Analogy Method
(Scientific Research, 2013-03)
Analysis of coupling aerodynamics and acoustics are performed to investigate the self-sustained oscillation and aerodynamic noise in two-dimensional flow past a cavity with length to depth ratio of 2 at subsonic speeds. ...
A New Surfactant Flooding Model for Low Permeability Reservoirs
(Scientific Research, 2013-03)
Surfactant as a successful Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) agent has been widely used in many mature reservoirs. This research focuses on the description of surfactant solution at low permeability condition. A new three-dimensional, ...
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 ...
Health Hazards of Solvents Exposure among Workers in Paint Industry
(Scientific Research, 2013-12)
Background: Paints and coatings include paints, varnishes, lacquers, stains, printing inks and more. A wide variety of
volatile solvents are used in paint and coating manufacturing including aliphatic and aromatic ...
Effect of Beam Length and Braced Length on Moment-Rotation Behavior of Castellated Beams
(Scientific Research, 2013-09)
The presence of web openings in castellated beams introduces different modes of failure at the perforated sections such
as excessive stresses in tee-sections, excessive stresses in mid-depth of the web post, web-post ...
Early Results of Mitral Valve Replacement in Severe Pulmonary Artery Hypertension—An Institutional Prospective Study
(Scientific Research, 2013-06)
Introduction: In patients undergoing surgery for mitral valve replacement (MVR) for valvular heart disease, pulmonary
artery hypertension (PAH) has been considered a major risk factor. In this prospective study, we have ...
