Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSelenium and Cadmium Tissue Concentrations and the CASA Sperm Motility Analysis after Administration to RatsRobert Toman, Svatoslav Hluchy, Peter Massanyi et al.The accumulation of Selenium (Se) and Cadmium (Cd) and their effects on sperm motility parameters in rats were investigated. Male rats were dosed with Cd (group A: 2 mg kg-1 b.w., intraperitoneally, group B: 30 mg L-1, per os in drinking water) and Se (group D: 2 mg kg-1 b.w., intraperitoneally, group E: 5 mg L-1, per os in drinking … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2014 · 7,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWhat Accounts for Growth in African AgricultureGuy B. Nkamleu, Kalilou Sylla, Abdoulaye ZononEmpirical relationships between the rates of growth and total factor productivity growth, physical input accumulation, as well as institutional and agro-ecological change is evaluated using an international panel data set on 26 African countries and covering the period 1970-2000. The analysis employs the broader framework provided by empirical growth literature and recent developments in TFP measurement. Results suggest a positive … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsResidual Defects in Silicon Implanted with Boron and Phosphorous IonsM. JadanAccumulation of radiation defects in Si implanted with B+ or P+ ions, and formation of the residual extended defects (dislocation loops, rod-like defects) in the process of successive thermal treatment have been studied. The anomalies observed in the formation of the extended defects are associated with the elastic stresses in the damaged regions affecting the process of radiation defects clustering. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMalaria and Climate Change: Discussion on Economic ImpactsMd. Shahin Mia, Rawshan Ara Begum, Ah-Choy Er et al.Problem statement: Climate change is a global environmental change that is adversely affecting human health by causing various health impacts in countries throughout the world. Climate is the most influential driving force of vector-borne diseases such as malaria. Changes in climate factors substantially affect reproduction, development, distribution and seasonal transmissions of malaria. Climate change increases the outbreak of malaria which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanism of Garden Aquatic Plants in the Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated SoilChen Chen, Guangwu LiuHeavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are resistant to microbial degradation in soil and persist for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate through the food chain, ultimately impacting human health. This study demonstrates that a combined restoration approach involving soil enhancement and garden aquatic plants, specifically through the application of ferrous sulfate, results in increased dry weight and plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpigenetic Regulation of Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Skin Aging: Mechanisms and InteractionsJiguang Yang, Yusong Shi, Xiaoqing YanSkin aging results from complex interactions between genetic factors, environmental stressors, and epigenetic modifications that regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Accumulation of senescent cells impairs tissue regeneration through mechanisms including telomere shortening, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. While epigenetic pathways regulate skin homeostasis, regeneration, and senescence, the specific epigenetic changes occurring during UV exposure, chronological aging, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,458 accessesView PDFCite
