Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Crude Oil and Spent Oil on Clarias garipinus: A Typical Marine FishA. M. Gbadebo, A. M. Taiwo, O. B. OlaProblem statement: Petroleum hydrocarbon and petroleum residue (i.e., spent oil) remains the foremost pollutants to the fish communities in various aquatic media-ponds, streams, rivers, creeks, coastal and marine environments through indiscriminate disposal of oil contaminated drilling muds, cutting and oil spillages. Approach: Also, the spent oil enters into aquatic media through run-off following unguided disposal. Both the petroleum hydrocarbon and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,467 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response of Soybean (Glycine max) to Foliar Application of Methanol Under Different Soil MoisturesFarzad Paknejad, Mojtaba Mirakhori, Majid Jami Al-Ahmadi et al.Problem statement: Many cultivated area are situated in arid zone, where crop photosynthesis and productivity has limited by drought. Thus any treatment, such as methanol, that improve plant water relation and reduce stress impacts, could be benefit. Approach: In order to investigate effects of methanol application on some physiological properties of soybean under low water stress, a factorial experiment was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,150 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMountain Sheep: An Environmental Epidemiological Survey of Variation in Metal Exposure and Physiological Biomarkers Following Mine DevelopmentLawrence K. Duffy, Michael W. Oehler, R. Terry Bowyer, Vernon C. BleichProblem Statement: Anthropogenic activities, such as mining and industrial operations, are a major environmental source of metal exposure for wildlife. Quantitative data regarding biochemical effects of exposure to mineral extraction on mountain sheep, Ovis canadensis, are limited, although their habitats are becoming increasingly affected by expanded resource development. Decisions relating to environmental protection and wildlife conservation should be based on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,654 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehavioral, Physiological and Biochemical Hormetic Responses to the Autoxidizable Dye Methylene BlueAleksandra K. Bruchey, F. Gonzalez-LimaThe goals of this review were to identify methylene blue (MB) as a compound that follows hormetic behavior for a wide range of effects and to address the question of what is unique about MB that could account for its wide applicability and hormetic behavior as a drug. The MB hormetic doseresponse relationship is exemplified by an increase in various … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 15,044 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpraying Effects on Goat Welfare in Hot and Humid ClimateNazan Darcan, Fatin Cedden, Okan GuneyHeat stress is one of the major factors adversely affecting animal welfare and thus economic benefits of farms. This study was designed to determine the effects of three different spraying methods on goats for reducing heat stress. Thirty goats divided into three groups for the trial (One time sprayed a day: OTS, Two times sprayed a day TTS and Non-sprayed: … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,297 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProducts of Solid-Phase Probiotic Bacilli Fermentation Increase Food Conversion Efficiency and Stimulate Chicken GrowthMazanko Maria S., Aleksandr I. Klimenko, Ivan F. Gorlov et al.Poultry farming is one of the major directions in agriculture. Agricultural poultry has high growth speed, productivity and is resistant to the industrial environment. Our group carried out a study of probiotic preparations of Bacillus subtilis KATMIRA1933 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B-1895 strains. These preparations were made by solid-phase fermentation and tested for dynamical germination of rearing flock (Highsex brown). The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2018 · 9,375 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHousing Pregnant Sows in Turnaround Stalls During Gestation Impacts Behavior, Immune and Well-BeingAshley DeDecker, Michael Mandru, Janeen L. Salak-JohnsonThis study aimed to determine the effects of housing gestating multiparous sows in alternative turn-around stalls on selective measures of well-being. Sows were randomly assigned to either a Turn-Around Stall (TAS) or standard Straight Stall (STS) from gestational day 6 until 110. Behavior was registered on days 6, 30, 45, 65, 90 and 110 of gestation and immune and cortisol … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 14 Nov 2018 · 7,965 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead Phytotoxicity Induced Changes in Biochemical Markers in Germination and Seedlings in Durum Wheat Triticum durum Desf. Cv.Vitron and GtaSoraya Slimani, Mokhtar Boudelaa, Saddek Abdelmadjid et al.Among the heavy metals most commonly found on land, lead is a strongly represented pollutant in soil and sediments. It is easily absorbed and accumulated in different parts of plants. On the macroscopic scale, lead causes unfavorable effects on plants. First and in the event of excess, it may exert toxicity affecting several stages of germination development in leaf formation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,480 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStable Nitrogen Isotopic Changes in Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Induced by its Growth TemperatureZhou Feng Wang, Wei Guo Liu, Rui Juan HaoThe nitrogen dynamics of plants can be quantified using the variation in their δ15N level. This reveals details of plant physiological characteristics and the relationship between plants and their growth conditions. To better understand plant nitrogen dynamics and the effects of external temperature changes on their nitrogen isotopic composition, we investigated the δ15N characteristics in Triticum aestivum and its mother … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2017 · 8,119 accessesView PDF Cite

Clinical ProcedureOpen accessIn the abstractThe Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Conditions with Particular Focus on Lyme DiseaseDietrich Klinghardt, Marco RuggieroHere we describe the Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol that is based on integration of Autonomic Response Testing (ART) with diagnostic ultrasonography and on application of therapeutic ultrasounds; the latter are used as a provocation tool and as an instrument to optimize drug uptake and utilization in specific areas of the body.
