The effect of different sublethal concentrations of diazinon at 1, 2 and 4 mg/L on some hematological and biochemical parameters of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) weighing 850±155g was studied after 1, 7, 15, 30 and 45 days post exposure to the toxicant as a bath for 12 hours at 18-22 C. In one day exposure fish to the toxicant, the values of neutrophiles exposed to 2 and 4mg/L were signi...

In 2005, nearly 21% of American adults smoked cigarettes, and 81% of them smoked every day. For smokers unable or unwilling to quit, tobacco products that reduce the adverse health effects of smoking may be an attractive option. Potentially reduced exposure products (PREPs) were developed by the tobacco industry in response to smokers' health concerns. PREPs purportedly lower the tar and/or nic...

We study n-monotone lower previsions, which constitute a generalisation of n-monotone lower probabilities. We investigate their relation with the concepts of coherence and natural extension in the behavioural theory of imprecise probabilities, and improve along the way upon a number of results from the literature. Finally, we indicate how many approaches to integration in the literature fall sq...

the present paper measures natural radioactivity in different areas of wassit governorate, using (hpge) detector. gamma spectrum analysis for each sample along with caululated specific activity show that the average concentrations of u-238, th-232, and k-40 have been 19.420±4.7 bq/kg, 18.487±5.05 bq/kg, and 204.266±46.9 bq/kg respectively, which is lower than the worldwide average value. while ...
