Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Mirex Concentrations along the Southern Shorelines of the Great Lakes, USADennis A. Apeti, Gunnar G. lauensteinMirex is a persistent and toxic polychlorinated pesticide that has compromised environmental quality in the Great Lakes region since the 1960s. As a bioaccumulative and carcinogenic compound, mirex at its current levels in Lake Ontario is a concern because of the potential for trophic level transfer and biomagnification in top predators. As a part of the NOAA’s National Status and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,934 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEnvironmental Impact Assessment of Quarrying Plants: An IRF Kriging Solution to Noise and Airborne Dust MonitoringDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariA geostatistical approach is tested for the assessment of the environmental impact generated by industrial plants on the surrounding areas. To this end, a case study of a tuff quarry in the Italian region of Lazio is presented. The method utilised is Intrinsic Kriging with external drift which allows spatial maps of different hazardous agents like noise and airborne dust … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2019 · 7,885 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA LEADER BASED MONITORING APPROACH FOR SINKHOLE ATTACK IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKD. Udaya Suriya Rajkumar, Rajamani VayanaperumalSecurity is one of an important factor to be considered seriously in wireless sensor networks. In WSN, in many ways intrusion may occur, in the past decades there is no perfect IDS, without any wasting of resources like time, energy, cost and number of physical items. The main objective is to ensure the security and improve the quality of network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,911 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMonitoring Levothyroxine Dose during Pregnancy: A Prospective StudyJuhi Agarwal, Sirimavo Nair, Tarun SekhriProblem statement: Thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women can influence the outcome for mother and fetus at all stages of pregnancy. As the fetus is entirely dependent on maternal thyroid hormones for its development until about 13 weeks of gestation, it is important to ensure adequate thyroxine substitution in pregnant women during the first trimester. The aim of this prospective study … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2011 · 9,213 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBiosensor Based on Xanthine Oxidase for Monitoring Hypoxanthine in Fish MeatHelena S. Nakatani, Luciane V. dos Santos, Cristiano P. Pelegrine et al.An amperometric enzyme electrode for the detection of hypoxanthine in fish meat is described. The hypoxanthine sensor was prepared from xanthine oxidase immobilized by covalent binding with glutaraldehyde and bovine serum albumin on a nafion-coated platinum disc electrode. The responses for hypoxanthine were obtained in 0.1 mol L-1 phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), at potential of 600mV vs Ag/AgCl. This biosensor … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,597 accessesView PDF Cite
