Characterization of bioactive compounds and ameliorative effects of Ceratonia siliqua leaf extract against CCl4 induced hepatic oxidative damage and renal failure in rats
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2011 , Article)
Ceratonia siliqua is a typical Mediterranean plant, mainly used in food and Tunisian traditional folk medicine. Among the tested extracts, the ethyl acetate fraction (EACs) exhibited the highest total phenolic and flavonoids ...
Antioxidant constituents from Lawsonia inermis leaves: Isolation, structure elucidation and antioxidative capacity
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2011 , Article)
The antioxidant potential of different fractions of Lawsonia inermis (Lythraceae) was investigated. The n-butanolic fraction showed the highest yield of extraction; it also exhibited a strong antioxidant activity in the ...
Time-frequency based signal restoration for laser-ultrasound signals with applications in nondestructive testing
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an inspection system has been presented that uses Laser-Ultrasound (LU) technique for Nondestructive testing (NDT) of metallic structures with specific interest in Oil & Gas sector. While the developed ...
Cranial reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy: Prediction of complications using fuzzy logic
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Article)
Introduction: Cranial reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy (DC) has been shown to be associated with a relatively high complication rate (16.4%-34%) compared with standard neurosurgical procedures (2%-5%). Most ...
Fuzzy prediction of complications in craniopathy
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical procedure in which part of the skull is removed to allow a swelling brain room to expand. It is a life-saving procedure used in the treatment of medically refractory intracranial ...
Fun to learn: Project-based learning in robotics for computer engineers
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2011 , Article)
This article shares my experiences with the project-based methodology of teaching the same material that a standard text in robotics would teach and will comparatively elaborate the improvement observed in the group of ...
Fuzzy detection of critical cardiac abnormalities using ECG data: A ubiquitous approach
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Electrocardiogram (ECG) based health diagnosis of cardiac diseases has been a saturated area of research and almost any known heart-condition can be detected and diagnosed by doctors in the hospital setting. However, these ...
Blind deconvolution and retinal abnormality detection in blurred retinal images
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2011 , Article)
In this paper, a new technique is presented to enhance the blurred images obtained from retinal imaging; both regular as well as Fluorescein Angiography. While in most of the cases, the image produced is quite clean and ...
Virtual environments for improving construction site safety
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2011 , Article)
This paper aims to present a visual simulation technique for improving construction site safety based on virtual construction environments (VCE). Additionally, the paper presents a framework to conduct true ‘what-if’ ...
Predicting student-perceived learning outcomes and satisfaction in ERP courses: An empirical investigation
(
Association for Information Systems
, 2011 , Article)
This article uses the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT) as the basis for the research framework to examine factors that influence student-perceived learning outcomes and satisfaction in ...
