Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStressors Influence on Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Colonization in BroilersE. S. Soliman, E. Taha, K. D. Infante et al.Problem statement: Poultry industry usually exposing birds to a variety of actions and stressors includs fasting for gastrointestinal emptying before transportation and where birds are often exposed to high environmental temperature during the summer months. These environmental stressors may have influences on bird performance and susceptibility to pathogens such as Salmonella enteritidis by altering the intestinal micrbiota and changes in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2009 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Comfort Assessment: A Case Study at Malaysian Automotive IndustryA. R. Ismail, N. Jusoh, R. Zulkifli et al.Problem statement: Thermal comfort has a great influence on the productivity and satisfaction of indoor building occupants. The exposure to excessive heat during work may cause discomfort and contributed to low productivity among workers. Malaysia known with its hot and humid weather where in most of the survey study published indicated that workers in Malaysia automotive industries had exposed to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,581 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Regional DevelopmentHelen Theodoropoulou, Roido Mitoula, Malvina VamvakariProblem statement: Demographic changes have increased the social and cultural diversity of tourist areas with historical heritage and natural beauty in Greece, causing an expansion in the cultural and economic horizons of local people and producing at the same time conflicts in their interests, values and lifestyles. This research was focused in the concept of sustainable development in three areas … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManaging Air in Olympic CitiesQing Wen Tian, Peter BrimblecombeThe 21st century Olympic Agenda aims to align itself with the concept of sustainable development and has driven improved environmental quality in host cities, such as the Green Games in Sydney 2000 and the planned Beijing 2008 Games and in London 2012 as the Low Carbon Games. Air quality has long been a concern of Olympic mega-cities, although the air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mathematical Modeling Approach to Characterize Hormesis, Caloric Restriction and Toxicity in Mortality Data from Toxicity StudiesPatricia J. NeafseyThe mortality of a population reflects the combined effects of natural aging with environmental insults (e.g. toxicant exposure, caloric restriction, over feeding, infections, etc.). No single endpoint, such as carcinogenesis, completely describes toxicant-induced effects in laboratory animals. Mathematical models of mortality and time-dependent exposure to toxicants can yield indices of net injury from all causes. With careful manipulation of diet … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrain Size Distribution Characteristics Variation in Oily Contaminated Sandy Soils Due to Long Term Aging Effect in Al-Ahmadi Field at KuwaitHumoud Melfi Aldaihani, Fahad A. Alotaibi, Farraj F. Al-ajmiAlmost three decades on, the negative environmental impacts arising from the burning of over 600 oil wells in Kuwait following the 1991 Gulf War are still evident. At the time of the incident, the Kuwaiti desert region became polluted with hydrocarbon, with a number of ‘oil lakes’ forming, causing critical harm to local land. This paper discusses the shifts in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 23 Nov 2018 · 8,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cadmium on Worker Ovary Morphology of Bombus morio (Hymenoptera: Bombini)Fábio Camargo Abdalla, Marina Pedrosa, Caio Eduardo da Costa Domingues, Paulo José BalsamoBees are valuable bioindicators, providing information regarding environmental conditions through different kinds of analyses. Therefore, the effect of cadmium on the morphology of ovaries of Bombus morio workers was used to study a concentration considered environmentally safe (1 ppb) in Brazil. Workers of the same estimated age exposed for 48 h to 1 ppb cadmium showed extensive morphological changes in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2018 · 9,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Remote Sensing Techniques in Determining the Risk Taking Level of Different Seasons on Fire Generation in Terms of NDVI Index During the Year Case Study: Golestan Province, IranAkram Karimi, Sara Abdollahi, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari et al.Knowledge of the nature of seasons and months in terms of the fire risk is very important in environmental planning, land management and forest resource management in order to achieve the sustainable development. One of the applications of remote sensing in this regard is the continuous monitoring of the zone to detect changes. Currently, the vegetation mapping is used to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2018 · 7,699 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral and Cellular Effects of Stress-An Extensive Model SystemMazal Shimon-Hophy, Ramy R. AvtalionThe influence of stress on the immune system of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was studied by measuring leukocytes levels using flow cytometry and mRNA immune components by real time qPCR. Acute and chronic oxidative stresses were generated by different regimes of exposure of carp to environmental air. In acute stress, induced by single air exposure, the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2017 · 6,728 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Breeding Seasonality in Rusa Deer (Rusa timorensis) Stags via Serum Testosterone ProfilingWan Nor Fitri Wan Jaafar, Abd Wahid Haron, Rosnina Hj Yusoff et al.Breeding seasonality in mammals is influenced by the environmental changes and the endocrine response of the animals to that changes. Comprehension in breeding seasonality enables better reproductive management consequently maximizing the reproductive potential of the stags. Despite that, the study in breeding seasonality in Rusa deer (Rusa timorensis) is still scarce. Five healthy and matured stags were selected for this … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2017 · 8,611 accessesView PDFCite
