Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRadiological Risks Assessment of Ogun State Drinking WaterJustina Ada Achuka, Usikalu Mojisola Rachael, Oyeyemi Kehinde DavidThe presence of radionuclides in water constitute health risk to man. The consumption of such water increases the likelihood of incurring cancer. Analysis will enhance the detection of significant radionuclides causing harm to the populace and stimulate remediation. This inferred the radioactivity measurements of twenty (20) well water samples from three industrial cities of Ogun State using Hyper Pure Germanium … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 18 May 2017 · 7,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAssessment of Continuous Vaginal Logger-Based Temperature Monitoring in Fever-Induced GiltsMariana Schmidt, Christian Ammon, Peter Schon et al.The aim of this study was to identify a low risk method to induce fever in gilts and to evaluate vaginal sensors for temperature monitoring. Therefore, a rhinitis atrophicans vaccine was used to induce fever to evaluate sensors and behavioral patterns. During 11 trials, two of four animals were injected with 2 mL of the vaccine Porcilis AR-T DF (Intervet) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2013 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
