in persian traditional medicine is believed that camphor (a crystalline ketone obtained from cinnamomum camphora) is a suppressor of sexual behaviors. this study examined the central effects of camphor on sexual hormones (lh, fsh and testosterone) and gnrh plasma levels in male rat. male wistar rats weighing 250-260gr were selected and divided into control (no treatment), sham (icv injection of...

Background: By the respect of some difficulties that were produced by high population we must have some information about methods that can control population. Materials and methods: In this investigation the effects of Achillea millefolium L.extract on spermatogenesis in adult Balb/ C mice were studied. The alcoholic (ethanolic) exract of flowers was prepared. The lethal (LD50) and sublethal ...

A bulk micromachined inertial measurement unit (MIMU) is presented in this paper. Three single-axis accelerometers and three single-axis gyroscopes were simultaneously fabricated on a silicon wafer using a bulk micromachining process; the wafer is smaller than one square centimeter. In particular, a global area optimization method based on the relationship between the sensitivity and layout are...

original article   one type of electromagnetic fields, based on frequency range, is extremely low frequency (elf) fields. there are lots of reports about measuring elf-magnetic field (mf) in substations, power plants, cities and etc. this study aimed to compare the difference between measurement of three-axis and single-axis probe mf meters. elf-mf was measured by tes-1394 mf tester (three-axis...

Perceptual disturbances in zero-g and 1-g differ. For example, the vestibular coriolis (or "cross-coupled") effect is weaker in zero-g. In 1-g, blindfolded subjects rotating on-axis experience perceptual disturbances upon head tilt, but the effects diminish in zero-g. Head tilts during centrifugation in zero-g and 1-g are investigated here by means of three-dimensional modeling, using a model t...

original article background and objectives: one type of electromagnetic fields, based on frequency range, is extremely low frequency (elf) fields. there are lots of reports about measuring elf- magnetic field (mf) in substations, power plants, cities, near high voltage power lines and etc. this study aimed to compare the difference between measurement of three-axis and single-axis probe mf mete...

This paper presents a monolithic three-axis accelerometer with wafer-level package by CMOS MEMS process. The compositions of the microstructure are selected from CMOS layers in order to suppress the in-plane and out-of-plane bending deflection caused by the residual stresses in multiple layers. A switched-capacitor sensing circuit with a trimming mechanism is used to amplify the capacitive sign...

Artificial gravity by centrifugation can lead to perceptual disturbances in the form of motion sickness and/or misperception of motion during head movements, but the degree of perceptual disturbance during centrifugation in 0-g has not been thoroughly investigated. It is known that during whole-body on-axis yaw rotation in 0-g, head movements in pitch and roll cause very little disturbance, des...
