Many biological effects of exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields(ELF-EMFs) have been documented, but little work carried out on plants. A meiotic study wasperformed on Brassica napus L as C3 plant and Zea mays L as a C4 plant exposed to electromagneticfields. Our investigations were focused on plants grown from wet pretreated seeds with3 and 10 mT for a 4 h exposure time an...

OBJECTIVE Due to the importance of energy metabolism in mitochondria, mitochondrial genome variations are evaluated in energy-related diseases such as obesity. To date, several nuclear genes were found to be related to obesity. Our aim in this study was to investigate the presence of polymorphisms in mitochondrial ATPase subunit 6 (mt-ATP6) and cytochrome b (mt-CytB) genes that may be associate...

In this paper, we propose that MT is an important technology in crisis events, something that can and should be an integral part of a rapid-response infrastructure. By integrating MT services directly into a messaging infrastructure (whatever the type of messages being serviced, e.g., text messages, Twitter feeds, blog postings, etc.), MT can be used to provide first pass translations into a ma...

Ever since the idea arose that melatonin might promote sleep and resynchronize circadian rhythms, many research groups have centered their efforts on obtaining new melatonin receptor ligands whose pharmacophores include an aliphatic chain of variable length united to an N-alkylamide and a methoxy group (or a bioisostere), linked to a central ring. Substitution of the indole ring found in melato...

Wedescribe the implementation ofMTServer Land, an open-source architecture formachine translation that is developed by the MT group at DFKI. A broker server collects and distributes translation requests to severalworker servers that create the actual translations. Users can access the system via a fast and easy-to-use web interface or use an XML-RPC-based API interface to integrate it into thei...

Heterodimerization has been documented for several members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, including the closely related MT(1) and MT(2) melatonin receptors. However, the relative abundance of hetero-versus homodimers and the specific properties, which can be attributed to each form, are difficult to determine. Using a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) donor...

26 2. 1 is not a proof. From the induction hypotheses we have that`MT 1 = fail. If s 0 is either an axiom or an assumption, then is apply(then(t 1 ; \t "); \s 0 ") and`MT Tac(\s 0 "). If s 0 is neither an axiom nor an assumption, then is apply(then(t 1 ; \t "); fail) with`MT Tac(fail). In both cases, from axiom (A9), the induction hypotheses and by applying ifE we havè MT = fail 25 Theorem C.1 ...

objective(s): the effect of prolonged overtraining on cytokine kinetics was compared with moderate exercise in the present study.   materials and methods: male wistar rats were randomly divided into control sedentary (c), moderate trained (mt), (v=20 m/min, 30 min/day for 6 days a week, 8 weeks), overtrained (ot) (v=25 m/min, 60min/day for 6 days a week, 11 weeks) and recovered overtrained (or)...

the efficacious effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (pemf) under the certain field parameters like frequency and the field intensity have been reported for various tissue and molecules. since collagen is found abundantly in most tissue structures, this research was designed to further investigate the effects of extremely low frequency (elf) pemf on the synthesis of the epidermal collagen. t...
