Can we make impartial decisions anymore? Could we ever? It seems that wherever we turn, we are told that impartiality just isn’t possible. We are told that things are much more complicated than they once seemed, that the idea that we could ever be impartial was a mischievous intellectual error and that impartial judgments were and are just a front, a façade, for the harsh reality of some imposi...

measuring field gravity in sea due to the accelerations introduced via waves and movements to the gravity measuring systems has a low accuracy since according to einstein's equalent principle, gravimeter isn't able to separate the gravity acceleration from another acceleration. ship borne gravimetery observations by means of like oscillations and accelerations of the ship motion, and ...

Abstract The violent eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on January 15, 2022 induced strong atmospheric disturbances, which traveled around the world as Lamb waves. When this wave passed through superconducting gravimeter station at Matsushiro, Japan, a large signal gravity changes was recorded. Also, barometers installed Matsushiro recorded trains pressure changes. Analysis barometer...

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a ubiquitous toxicant that targets the developing fetal nervous system. MeHg interacts with the Notch signaling pathway, a highly-conserved intercellular signaling mechanism required for normal development. Notch signaling is conveyed by activation of the genes in the enhancer of split (E(spl)) locus in Drosophila. We have previously shown that acute high doses of MeHg u...

The quality and safety of agricultural products are threatened by heavy metal ions in soil, which can be absorbed by the crops, and then accumulated in the human body through the food chain. In this paper, we report a low-cost and easy-to-use screen-printed electrode (SPE) for cadmium ion (Cd(II)) detection based on differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), which decorated with ionic liquid (IL), m...

Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive glucose metabolic intermediate and a major precursor of advanced glycation end products. MG level is elevated in hyperglycemic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. Substantial evidence has shown that MG is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes and diabetic complications. We investigated the impact of MG on insulin secretion by MIN6 and INS-1 cells and ...
