Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Stomata Densities in Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Lines/CultivarsHatice Bozoglu, Reyhan KarayelThis study was conducted to determine, if stomata density can be used as a criterion in cultivar differentiation or not. In this study, density of stomatas in stipula and abaxial and adaxial surface of leaflets was determined in the flowering and pod set period of 23 pea cultivars and lines that were sowed as wintertime for 2 years. The effect … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Relationships Among the Adoption Parameters of Computers and Internet in Agriculture: An Application of Probit ModelAnastasios MichailidisThe main reason for carrying out this study was to determine possible relationships among several adoption parameters of computer use, internet usage and internet access in agriculture. The key options for determining relationships (apart from non-parametric correlation techniques) are canonical correlation analysis, probit models and logit models. Canonical correlation analysis is generally seen as a weaker statistical technique than probit … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,527 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Zinc and "Health Belief Model" Based Education on Common Cold Prevention in SoldiersArash Pooya, Ahmad Mahmoudian, Mohamad Mahdi Hazavei et al.The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of "Zinc" and "Health Belief model" based education on viral upper respiratory tract infections in soldiers in Isfahan - 2004 - 2005. It was a double - blinded randomized controlled trial, which was done among a group of soldiers by census. Soldiers were randomly divided into four groups.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk of Second Non Breast Malignancies (SNBM) in Relation to Brca1 And Brca2 Mutation Status Following Breast-Conserving Surgery and RadiotherapyYoulia M. Kirova, Alain Fourquet, Alexia Savignoni, Brigitte Sigal-ZafraniWomen from hereditary breast cancer families with BRCA1/2 germline mutation are at increased risk for contralateral breast cancer (BC) and for ovarian cancer (OC). It is less clear whether mutation status influences the rate of SNBM other than OC. In addition, little is known on the risk of OC in individuals from hereditary BC families without identified BRCA mutation. Our … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObserved Abrupt Changes in Minimum and Maximum Temperatures in Jordan in the 20th CenturyMahmoud M. SmadiThis study examines changes in annual and seasonal mean (minimum and maximum) temperatures variations in Jordan during the 20th century. The analyses focus on the time series records at the Amman Airport Meteorological (AAM) station. The occurrence of abrupt changes and trends were examined using cumulative sum charts (CUSUM) and bootstrapping and the Mann-Kendall rank test. Statistically significant abrupt changes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduced Microcracking Affects Osteoblast Attachment on Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Tissue EngineeringIan O. Smith, Melissa J. Baumann, Eldon D. CaseBone microdamage caused by routine activity plays an important role in triggering targeted and nontargeted bone remodeling. Targeted remodeling occurs near localized areas of microdamage[1-4]. We hypothesize that bone remodeling may be directly and positively influenced by inducing microcracks in hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. A study by Case et al. showed microcracking in HA discs having >98% … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,560 accessesView PDFCite

The objective of this analysis was to determine whether the long-term scintillation follows the log normal or gamma distribution. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,268 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Fluoride and Other Ions on Algae and Fish of Coastal Water of Mediterranean Sea, EgyptM. S. Masoud, W. M. El-Sarraf, A. A. Harfoush, G. F. El-SaidSea grass, marine algae and fish samples were collected from the Egyptian coast of Mediterranean Sea during September 2000 and March 2001. The contents of fluoride and some interfering ions (calcium, magnesium, sulphate, phosphorus and some heavy metals) ions and their concentration factors were determined in the dried samples. Fluoride contents in macrophytes, algae, muscle of fish samples were ranged … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInefficacy of Topical Diclofenac in Arthritic HorsesNicolás F. Villarino, Tomas J. Vispo, Marcos et al.The objective of the present study was test the anti-inflammatory efficacy of diclofenac dietilamine, applied epicutaneously at a dose rate of 0.44 mg kg-1, in a model of acute arthritis in horses. Four clinical end-points, as well as two biochemical markers, were used as surrogate markers of the required clinical response (analgesia, anti-inflammatory). Low diclofenac concentrations were measured in blood … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
