In this report, we describe the design, construction, and operation of a cell-phone-based Raman emission spectral detector, which when coupled to diffraction grating cell-phone camera system provides means for detection, recording, identification chemicals, drugs, biological molecules, in situ by their fluorescence spectra. The newly constructed spectrometer was used record spectra from various...

the place of information in addressing market access and participation limitation, which hinders farmer’s welfare and poverty reduction efforts in many developing countries, cannot be over-emphasized. this study therefore examined the use of mobile phone in the marketing of food crops among farming households in rural south east, nigeria. a multi stage sampling procedures was used in the select...

mobile phone use and wireless communication technology have grown explosively over the past decades. this rapid growth has caused widespread global concern about the potential detrimental effects of this technology on human health. stem cells generate specialized cell types of the tissue in which they reside through normal differentiation pathways. considering the undeniable importance of stem ...

background: pre-exposure to radiofrequency radiations of mobile phones would significantly increase the survival rate of exposed animals compared to those exposed to a lethal dose of gamma radiation alone. stimulation of the immune system is believed to be a key mechanism for the induction of this phenomenon, the so-called “adaptive response.” the immune system protects organisms against infect...

conclusions mobile phone text messaging increased adherence to diabetes therapy and improved the clinical outcome in saudi patients with type 2 diabetes. results in addition to significant improvement in patients’ knowledge, mean fasting blood glucose level improved from 8.60 ± 3.16 to 7.77 ± 3.11 mmol/l and mean hba1c decreased from 9.9% ± 1.8% to 9.5% ± 1.7%. objectives we conducted a study t...
