Synaptosomes are now known to possess a high degree. of metabolic independence during incubation in physiological medium, containing glucose as a substrate (see review by de Belleroche & Bradford, 1973). Under these conditions, depolarizing agents induce the calcium-dependent release of physiologically active compounds, including acetylcholine (de Belleroche &Bradford, 19726), aspartate, glutam...

On 11 March 2011, an earthquake occurred about 130 km off the Pacific coast of Japan’s main island Honshu, followed by a large tsunami. The resulting loss of electric power at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant developed into a disaster causing massive release of radioactivity into the atmosphere. In this study, we determine the emissions into the atmosphere of two isotopes, the noble g...

The isolated perfused rabbit kidney was used to characterize the hormone-sensitive lipid pool from which esterified arachidonic acid is hydrolyzed by the vasoactive hormone bradykinin. The kidney lipids were labeled with radioactive arachidonic acid and the specific activities (counts per min/ng) of the prostaglandin Ez released with or without hormone stimulation were compared. The results ind...

The theoretical study of the effect of Corticosterone release scores was determined. Formulae of fuzzy two parameter Weibull distribution, fuzzy Survival and fuzzy hazard rate function and its α-cut sets were presented. Using fuzzy survival and hazard rate model based on two parameter Weibull distributions, we showed that in the test termination, if the fuzzy Survival value increases then the f...

We present five independent confirmations of the intermediate controlled nuclear fusion of Nitrogen from Deuterium and Carbon without the emission of harmful radiations or the release of radioactive waste, first achieved by R. M. Santilli [12] following extended mathematical, theoretical and experimental research, and preliminarily confirmed by R.Brenna, T. Kuliczkowski, and L.Ying [13].

Exposure to radioactive elements or having them through drinking water causes many biological risks. Therefore, it is important to investigate the drinking water especially in regions where people depend on well water for drinking. Concentrations of some radionuclides in some water wells, in Arar city of Saudi Arabia, were measured by using Hyper Pure Germanium (HPGe) Detector. Concentrations o...

Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) is an effective drug in treatment of angina pectoris. In this study a new generation of electron capture detector (non-radioactive) with a short, non-polar and wide-bore column was used for analysis of ISDN in human serum. ISDN was extracted from serum by a mixture of ether and ethyl acetate and concentrated at room temperature. The method was linear between 5-50...
