Unravelling the mechanism of ghrelin secretion and the effects of ghrelin reduction using a receptor decoy approach
(2013-03-28)
The incidence of obesity, and the associated morbidities and mortality are increasing. Strategies to manage this disease hinge on the balance of caloric intake and energy expenditure. This regulation depends largely on ...
PROCESSING OF ALUMIX 321 PM ALLOY AND ITS CORROSION BEHAVIOUR IN 3.5 WT% SALINE SOLUTION
(2013-04-08)
Aluminum powder metallurgy (PM) parts have found applications in automotive, aerospace and transportation. Sintered aluminum parts have been developed and compete with traditionally fabricated ingot metallurgy (IM) products ...
Enhancing Research Utilization for Sustainable Forest Management: The Role of Model Forests
(2012-04-13)
Model Forests were developed to bridge the gap between the emerging policy and the practice of sustainable forest management (SFM) in the early 1990s and, as such, to facilitate uptake of research findings into practice. ...
Motion Coding Strategies in the Retina
(2013-03-13)
Early experimental work suggested that the retina’s main role was to detect
changes in brightness and contrast, namely working as a light detector, and that most of
the complex computations in the visual system happened ...
Investigating Galvanic Corrosion in Low-Alkalinity Water: The Effects of pH, High Dose Corrosion Inhibitors, and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon
(2013-08-23)
The objective of this study was to evaluate galvanic corrosion potential under various pH conditions, buffering capacities, and corrosion inhibitors including zinc orthophosphate (ZOP) and orthophosphate (OP). Bench-scale ...
He's Got Great Feel, But What Do You Mean?
(2013-05-03)
The field of popular music studies currently lacks effective and extensive discourse on drumming and rhythmic parameters in general. Some important preliminary work exists primarily due to significant contributions by ...
FATIGUE CHARACTERIZATION OF AM60B MAGNESIUM ALLOY SUBJECTED TO CONSTANT AND VARIABLE AMPLITUDE LOADING WITH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE STRESS RATIOS
(2013-04-30)
AM60B magnesium alloy is being increasingly used in auto industry in applications that usually involve various formats of cyclic loading scenarios. Therefore, the fatigue response of this alloy is investigated in this ...
The Development of a 3D Piezoelectric Active Microtissue Model for Airway Smooth Muscle
(2013-04-30)
Although asthma is primarily thought to be an inflammatory disease of the airways, it has recently been hypothesized that the altered mechanical environment of an asthmatic airway may contribute to the development of the ...
GROUP KEY SCHEMES FOR SECURITY IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS
(2010-04-20)
In dynamic peer group communications, security has been in high demand by many applications in recent years. One of the more popular mechanisms to satisfy these security requirements is the group key scheme in which the ...
