Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method to Correlate a Possible Coupling between the Upper and the Lower AtmosphereWayan Suparta, Grahame J. FraserProblem statement: Sun-earth coupling studies are one of the methods of projection to explain certain physical mechanisms of how solar activity can influence weather/climate changes. Approach: To gain insight of the above challenge, analysis of propagation delays in GPS-transmitted signals in the upper and lower atmosphere during transient events associated with intense geomagnetic storms was conducted within the Antarctic polar … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 20 Mar 2012 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHRONIC NEONATAL DIAZOXIDE THERAPY IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ADVERSE EFFECTSMichele M. Cox, Christopher C. Wendler, Ildiko Erdelyi et al.Diazoxide is an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) agonist that has been shown to neuroprotective effects. These observations raise the possibility that diazoxide may have potential as a therapeutic agent for other applications. This study investigated (1) the long term effects of chronic neonatal administration of diazoxide and (2) the role of KATP on murin behavior and neurohistology. C57B/6J pups were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2014 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
