Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Education and Biodiversity Concern: Beyond the Ecological LiteracyCarlos Hiroo SaitoThis is a review article on environmental education. The focus of the discussion is the relationship between environmental education and Biodiversity concern and the emergence of the concept of Biodiversity education. The position described here configures as a disagreement of the insertion of these innovative terminology, defending the maintenance of the term environmental education and its general framework, reserving to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2013 · 9,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of a Low-Level Semiconductor Gallium Arsenate Laser in Experimental Envenomation Induced by Bothrops atrox Snake VenomElziliam Aranha De Sousa, José Adolfo Homobono Machado Bittencourt, Nayana Keyla Seabra De Oliveira et al.Bothrops atrox is responsible for the majority of snakebite accidents in Brazilian Amazon and its venom can cause prominent local tissue damage. Experimental groups consisted of five male mice, each administered either B. atrox Venom (VB), B. atrox Venom + Antivenom (VAV), B. atrox Venom + Laser (VL), B. atrox Venom + Antivenom + Laser (VAVL), or Sterile Saline Solution … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Dec 2012 · 7,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFatty Acid Content of Bovine Milkfat From Raw Milk to YoghurtO. O. Santos Júnior, M. R. Pedrão, L. F. Dias et al.Problem statement: The present study aimed to study the evolution of fatty acid content, focusing on rumenic acid content, from raw milk to yoghurt processed from this milk. Approach: Milk samples were collected in a dairy plant in the northwest of Paraná State weekly in January 2011 (Brazilian summer). It processed one truck load of 26,000 L of refrigerated type-C … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 7 Jul 2012 · 7,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensory Neuropathy Associated with Glucose Intolerance: A 35 Patients StudyGiseli Quintanilha, Osvaldo J.M. Nascimento, Marco Orsini, Camila PupeProblem statement: Peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes has been studied for several decades. Until recently, we associate the involvement of peripheral nerves with an inappropriate glycemic control in the most advanced stages of the disease. Currently, it is considered that the onset of the neural injury can occur in the initial phase of this metabolic abnormality, during the period of … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 26 Jul 2011 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepower and Evaluation of New Power of Synchronous GeneratorsS.P.Y. Santos, E. Delbone, E.F. Carvalho, L.N. MartinsProblem Statement: Useful life of winding isolation is about 30 years. It can be reduced when it is submitted to overloads or when it is worked in aggressive environments. Approach: When retrofit is done, an increasing to superior isolation class is recommendable. So, generator capacity can be increased and pay back could be excellent justifying the investment. Result: Several Brazilian’s … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrawing Meshed One-Line Diagrams of Electric Power Systems using a Modified Controlled Spring Embedder Algorithm Enhanced with Geospatial DataAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira MotaProblem statement: One-line diagrams are widely used in electrical power systems to provide a graphical view of state of the system and to assess its performance. Several methodologies and algorithms have been proposed to automatically draw the power system’s one-line diagram and provide satisfactory results for radial or small-size meshed networks. Nevertheless, actual power systems models are generally associated to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 8,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of the Electric Power Quality and Electrical Installation Impacts on Medical Electrical Equipment Operations at Health Care FacilitiesMário César Giacco Ramos, Carlos Márcio Vieira TahanProblem statement: Medical electrical equipments at health care facilities presented malfunction and wrong medical information due to poor electric power quality and to inadequate electrical Installations. Some equipment such as X-ray, computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are considered as polluting ones due to their high amount of harmonics and voltage transients produced on the electrical power supply when … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
