Caractérisation De L'Environnement Vibratoire Dans Différentes Catégories De Véhicules : Industriels, Utilitaires Et De Transport Urbain, Paul-Émile Boileau, Subhash Rakheja

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Des classes spectrales représentant l'environnement vibratoire dans l'habitacle de quatre catégories de véhicules (autobus urbains, chenillettes de déneigement, chariots élévateurs à conduite assise, chariots élévateurs à station debout) sont définies pour caractériser les vibrations agissant dans les directions longitudinale (axe x), latérale (axe y), verticale (axe z), ainsi qu'en roulis et en tangage (θ). Ces classes spectrales sont représentées en exprimant l'amplitude de la densité spectrale de puissance (DSP) en fonction de la fréquence entre 0. 5 et 40 Hz. Une équation mathématique est développée pour exprimer cette relation pour des conditions moyenne et sévère; la première étant basée sur …

Genetic Diversity Of Salmonella Typhi, Satheesh Nair

Student Works (2000-2009)

Typhoid fever is a unique human septemic infection caused by Salmonella typhi. Typhoid fever is still an important public health problem in many developing countries. The continuing presence of the disease in endemic areas and emergence of multidrug- resistant strains in many developing countries as well as the increasing reports from developed countries has renewed the interest to better understand the epidemiology of typhoid fever and some aspects of its pathogenesis. Characterization of S. typhi strains in different epidemiological settings depends largely on the utility of highly precise molecular typing tools. A convenient, versatile and safe method for preparing bacterial …

Gas Chromatographic-Mass Spectrometric Analysis Of Captopril And Its Application In Pharmacokinetic Studies In Healthy Subjects, Zamri Chik

Student Works (2000-2009)

Captopril is a highly specific competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-convening enzyme (ACE). This enzyme converts angiotensin I, a relatively inactive decapeptide, to angiotensin II , a potent endogenous vasoconstrictor substance. Captopril is widely used for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. This drug, which contains a sulphydryl group binds readily to albumin and to other plasma proteins. Captopril is unstable in blood and plasma ex vivo because of the reactivity of sulphydryl group which results in oxidation and rapid formation of disulphides. Therefore a fixative or a stabiliser must be added to each blood sample immediately following collection. …

Clinical Waste Management In The Northern States Of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah And Sarawak, Abdul Hai Akbar Ali

Student Works (2000-2009)

Clinical waste management and disposal methods are quite unique due to their infectious and harmful nature. Unlike municipal waste, clinical waste is pathogenic which jeopardizes the biotic community including human beings, if not quelled of its pathogenic effect.. However, shortcomings or drawbacks are still possible in areas of source separation. inappropriate containment and labeling. Improper incineration may also lead to incomplete combustion ultimately leading to air pollution. Though existing system of clinical waste disposal and management in Malaysia seem adequate, still efficient and cost effective mechanisms are needed. The focus of this research is to survey and study the administrative …

Whole Body Momentum During Gait: A Preliminary Study Of Non-Fallers And Frequent Fallers, Guy G. Simoneau, David E. Krebs

Physical Therapy Faculty Research and Publications

The importance of momentum in compensating for elderly individua ls ' strength deficits to achieve activities of daily living. such as rising from a chair ha.!o been demonstrated in earlier studies. Here we present a case control study of three healthy "non-fallers" and two "frequent fallers," All 5 elders were community-living and were tested in the gai l laboratory. A four-camera Selspot system was used to obtain whole-body momentum from an 11-segment kinematic model. Ground reaction forces and kinematics were used 10 calculate lower extremity join! moments. With the exception of the whole-body's angular momentum about the vertical axis, linear …

Powdered Neem Seed And Cake For Management Of The Banana Weevil, Cosmopolites Sordidus, And Parasitic Nematodes, T. Musabyimana, R. C. Saxena, E. W. Kairu, C. K.P.O. Ogol, Z. R. Khan

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Field trials were conducted in Kenya with 'Nakyetengu', an East African highland banana cultivar (AAA-EA), highly susceptible to banana pests. Regardless of soil fertility levels, incorporation around the plant base of powdered neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) seed or cake at 60-100 g/mat at 4-month intervals, gave better control of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), and of parasitic nematodes, than that achieved with soil application of Furadan 5G (carbofuran) at 60 g/mat at 6-month intervals. Compared with untreated control, fruit yield in most of the neem treatments was significantly higher, particularly during the second cycle of crop production. Neem …

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

Members of a flock of male and female emus were observed in an ethological experiment designed to investigate trends in reproductive behavior exhibited during the North American mating season, which lasts from October to mid-March. Observations were made at dawn, noon, and dusk from December 1999 to mid-March 2000, and the only behaviors that were consistently expressed during these times were pecking, strutting, exclusive, and male and female sexual activities (defined in text). Though statistical significance was found between male strutting behavior and female sexual activity in the December observation period, no overall significance or significance at other observation periods …
