T he recent discovery that insulin is expressed by the rat testis (1) raises questions about whether and how locally produced insulin regulates testicular function. It also raises the question whether pancreatic insulin regulates testicular function, and whether fertility might be impaired as a consequence of insulin deficiency in type 1 diabetes. As reported in this issue of Diabetes, Schoelle...

This study investigated if clothing material with reflective properties has an effect on heat gain in pilot, specifically, under solar radiation. Two materials, conventional pilot suit material (Old) and material coated with coldblack® (New, Schoeller Technologies AG, Switzerland) were tested over variety of underwear layers and in a box simulating cockpit. A hot plate was used to measure t...

groundwater quality has a direct impact on human life. the main objective of this research is to investigate changes in groundwater quality and levels in lake urmia basin. tasoj and shiramin plains are selected as a study area. the suitability of groundwater quality for drinking and agricultural purposes were assessed using schoeller and wilcox diagram. according to the wilcox classification, t...

The present investigations were focused on the systematic analysis of surface water quality Thamirabarani River from upstream (Pechiparai dam to Gnaramvilai) downstream (Vettuvenni Thengaipattinam estuary) during period September 2020 January 2021. different hydrochemical parameters such as temperature, pH, EC, TDS, fluoride, turbidity, nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, chloride, calcium, magnesium...

Bu çalışmada Akşehir Gölü havzasının içerisinde yer alan ovasının en önemli su kaynağı olan ve aynı zamanda Gölü’nü de besleyen yeraltısularının kalitesi kullanılabilirliği belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Yeraltısularından alınan 31 örnek üzerinde fizikokimyasal analizler yanısıra ağır metal nitrat analizleri yapılmıştır. Çalışma alanındaki baskın türleri Ca-Mg-HCO3 Ca-HCO3'tür. Schoeller içilebili...

Chills are amuscular phenomenon best described as the sensation of coldness created by a rhythmic oscillating tremor of skeletal muscles. In humans, chills are sometimes associated with a positive hedonic process. In the present article, we shall refer to such an event as aesthetic chills. Aesthetic chills appear to be a universal emotional experience (see e.g., McCrae, 2007). In laboratory, th...

Afyon Ovası kuzeybatı bölümünde yer alan yeraltısuları, yaklaşık 8000 kişi tarafından şebeke suyu olarak kullanılmakta ve bölgeden üretilen sularla 56km2 tarımsal sulanmaktadır. Su kaynaklarının etkin verimli bir şekilde kullanılması için suların fiziksel, kimyasal özelliklerinin su kalitelerinin çok iyi bilinmesi gerekmektedir. Bu amaçla, çalışma kapsamında 12 adet yeraltısuyu örneklenerek gün...

Electron tunneling through small metallic islands with low capacitance is studied. The large charging energy in these systems is responsible for nonperturbative Coulomb blockade effects. We further consider the effect of electron interactions in the electrodes. In junctions with high resistance compared to the quantum resistance transport can be described by sequential tunneling. If the resista...
