Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of 50 HZ Magnetic Field on Some Factors of Immune System in the Male Guinea PigsH. Sedghi, S. Zare, H. Hayatgeibi et al.This study investigated the bio-effects of 50 Hz MF exposure on some Immunological factors (ACTH, cortisol and glucose levels) in male Guinea pigs. The capacity of 50 Hz Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) to interfere in the weakness of endocrine system has been a relevant fact into the scientific community, since we are more susceptible for this kind of exposure, in modern … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,997 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Transcript Labeling Techniques and Development of a Membrane-based Parallel Gene Expression AssayMark A. Fisher, Bonnie B. Plikaytis, Thomas M. ShinnickAn inexpensive alternative to micro arrays was developed to examine the expression of small sets of genes in parallel and used to compare direct and indirect transcript labeling methods. Psoralen-biotin direct labeling was ~10-fold less sensitive than reverse transcriptase-biotin-dUTP labeling, but the enzymatic method generated higher levels of background noise in miniarray hybridizations. The reproducibility of hybridization intensities was the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,868 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Modulation Scaling Scheme for Quality of Services Ensurance in Wireless Sensor NetwoksYong Yuan, Zongkai Yang, Jianhua HeEnergy consumption has been a key concern of data gathering in wireless sensor networks. Previous research works show that modulation scaling is an efficient technique to reduce energy consumption. However, such technique will also impact on both packet delivery latency and packet loss, therefore, may result in adverse effects on the qualities of applications. In this study, the problem of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmission of Nitrogen Dioxide from Butane Gas Heaters and Stoves IndoorsMarwan Ghosn, Roula Flouty, Najat A. SalibaLevels of indoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in a home equipped with butane gas stove and heaters are reported between the months of February and July 2003. Diffusion passive sampling was used for the simultaneous measurements of indoor and outdoor NO2 concentrations. The overall average indoor NO2 concentrations were 15.6 and 22.3 μg m-3 for the living room and kitchen, respectively, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 9,471 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecline of Betula ermanii with Special Reference to Ozone Concentration at Mt. Mae-Shirane, Oku-Nikko, JapanY. W. Feng, N. Ohta, H. ShimizuDuring June to October 2000 and 2001 we measured the height, Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) and stand density of Betula ermanii trees at Mt. Mae-Shirane, Japan and the ozone concentration there to explore the relationship between ozone concentration and the decline of B. ermanii trees on the mountain. Height, DBH and stem volume were lower on the southeast-facing slope … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,055 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurface Roughness Prediction Model in Machining of Carbon Steel by PCD Coated Cutting ToolsYusuf Sahin, A. Riza MotorcuThe surface roughness model in the turning of AISI 1040 carbon steel was developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using response surface methodology. Machining tests were carried out using PVD-coated tools under different cutting conditions. The surface roughness equations of cutting tools when machining the carbon steels were achieved by using the experimental data. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 7,964 accessesView PDF Cite
