effect of static magnetic field (smf) on plants is a matter of debate. in the present study plausible useful effects of smf on wheat plant (triticum aestivum l.) via improvement of antioxidant system and iron/ferritin fortification were evaluated. the plants were cultivated in pots and in their reproductive stages were treated with or without a 30 mt smf for 4 days, each 5h. the activity of ant...

the inhibitory effects of several steroids on g6pd activity using intact erythrocytes are reported. incubation of whole blood with dehydroepiandrosterone (dhea) resulted in 42% and 12% inhibition in the enzyme activity in the presence and absence of oxygen, respectively. addition of epinephrine and/or aminophylline into the incubation medium caused further enzyme inhibition suggesting a possibl...

post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is a disorder of emotional and mental stress occurring as an outcome of injury or severe emotional shock. yoga may be useful in decrease of ptsd symptomology. new studies demonstrate that people suffering from ptsd can find actual relief with yoga. yoga decreases stress-induced allosteric load in three reactive systems of stress: the autonomic nervous syste...

introduction: electromagnetic fields (emfs) can influence the biological system by the formation of free radicals in cells. the emfs are able to deteriorate defense system against free radicals that leads to oxidative stress (os). lipid peroxidation process (lpo) is an index of oxidative stress, and the malandialdehyde (mda) is the final product of lpo. vitamin e is the most important antioxida...

Activity-Centric Computing (ACC) systems seek to address the fragmentation of office work across tools and documents by allowing users to organize work around the computational construct of an Activity. Defining and structuring appropriate Activities within a system poses a challenge for users that must be overcome in order to benefit from ACC support. We know little about how knowledge workers...

We propose an integrated activity-based discrete choice model system of an individual’s activity and travel schedule, for forecasting urban passenger travel demand. A prototype demonstrates the system concept using a 1991 Boston travel survey and transportation system level of service data. The model system represents a person’s choice of activities and associated travel as an activity pattern ...

Introduction: In this study, we investigated the role of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the ventral hippocampus (VH) and their possible interactions with GABAA system on anxiety-like behaviors. Methods: We used an elevated-plus maze test (EPM) to assess anxiety-like behaviors and locomotor activity in male Wistar rats. Results: The results showed that intra-VH infusions of diffe...
