introduction: in order to cope with the crisis of serials cost and problems associated with the shortage of budget in libraries and facilitating the access to scientific journals, the principle of open access to scientific publications and usually in the form of electronic journals has evolved during the last 15 years. this research aimed to clarifying the amount of citations of isi web of scie...

A single-layer, reduced-gravity, double-gyre primitive equation model in a 2000 km 3 2000 km square domain is used to test the accuracy and sensitivity of time-dependent Eulerian velocity fields reconstructed from numerically generated drifter trajectories and climatology. The goal is to determine how much Lagrangian data is needed to capture the Eulerian velocity field within a specified accur...

Fertilizers usually enhance potassium (K) content and other naturally occurring radioactive materials in agricultural fields that eventually enter the human food chain through plants. In this study, pot-grown rice plants planted in soil that is relatively high in natural radioactive content was used to estimate the individual influence of fertilizer applications on the uptake of 226Ra, 232Th, a...

Background: Vegetation (food stuff) is grown in soil that contains many radioactive elements such as 238U (uranium), 232Th (thorium) and 40K (potassium), which may get deposited either due to radioactive fallout or/and by absorption from the soil and can pose serious health hazards. Materials and Methods: Natural radioactivity, radiological hazards and annual effective dose assessment was carri...

introduction: public and occupational exposure to extremely low frequency (elf) electric and magnetic fields induced by electrical equipment is a significant issue in the environment and at the workplace due to their potential health effects on public health. the purpose of this study was assessment of the electric and magnetic fields intensities and determination of mental and psychological ef...

Utilization of health care facilities is an important elements factored into any policy or programme aimed at improving the health status citizens of every country. The paper examines factors which determine health care utilization of residents of Lake Bosomtwe basin of Ghana. The study employed the human ecology of disease triangle model to assess how residents utilize health care facilities. ...
