Exponentially growing Chinese hamster V79 cells were exposed to Adriamycin either in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or fresh growth medium (F-med) supplemented with various amounts of NaCl in the range between 50-1000 mM and survival was measured by the colony forming assay. Compared to the survival obtained after exposure of cells to isotonic (140 mM NaCl) PBS (D0 = 0.16 microgram/ml, Dq = 0....

Face detection from low-light images is challenging due to limited photons and inevitable noise, which, make the task even harder, are often spatially unevenly distributed. A natural solution borrow idea multi-exposure, which captures multiple shots obtain well-exposed under conditions. High-quality implementation/approximation of multi-exposure a single image however nontrivial. Fortuna...

BACKGROUND Participation in outdoor alpine sports has been increasing over the last decade. Ultraviolet exposure levels for these activities can be extreme owing to the venue altitudes. The purpose of this study was to measure the levels of UV-A and UV-B radiation exposure incurred by performance skiers in a typical alpine venue and to determine the need for protection in that environment. OB...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of high frequency electromagnetic radiation (27.12 mhz) on ultrastructure of bone inthe rat embryos. material and methods: three experimental groups were formed: experimental group 1 was exposed continuously during the pregnancy periodfrom day 0 through day 6, experimental group 2 from day 7 through day 13 and experimental group 3 ...

BACKGROUND Influences of prenatal and early-life exposures to air pollution on cognition are not well understood. OBJECTIVES We examined associations of gestational and childhood exposure to traffic-related pollution with childhood cognition. METHODS We studied 1,109 mother-child pairs in Project Viva, a prospective birth cohort study in eastern Massachusetts (USA). In mid-childhood (mean a...

We conducted a statistical analysis of several subsets of words from the Hoosier Mental Lexicon in order to examine some factors underlying the subjective familiarity ratings collected by Nusbaum, Pisoni, and Davis (1984). In this analysis, we grouped words into High-FAM (average familiarity rating greater than 6 on a 7-point scale), Mid-FAM (between 4.5 and 3.5), or Low-FAM (less than 2) sets,...

We present results of ultra-deep ISOCAM observations through a cluster-lens at 7μm and 15μm with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) satellite. These observations reveal a large number of luminous Mid-Infrared (MIR) sources. Crossidentification in the optical and Near-Infrared (NIR) wavebands shows that about half of the 7 μm sources are cluster galaxies. The other 7 μm and almost all 15 μm so...
