OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between meteorological factors and occurrence of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) according to age. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the records of 735 ICH patients in a metropolitan hospital-based population. Observed and expected numbers of ICH patients were obtained at 5℃ intervals of ambient temp...

Thermistors are very commonly used for narrow temperature-range high-resolution applications, such as in medicine, calorimetry, and near ambient temperature measurements. In particular, Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is very inexpensive and highly sensitive, whose sensing temperature range and sensitivity are highly limited due to the intrinsic nonlinearity and self-heating p...

Mild reductions in ambient temperature dramatically increase the mortality of neonatal mice deficient in pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), with the majority of animals succumbing in the second postnatal week. During anesthesia-induced hypothermia, PACAP(-/-) mice at this age are also vulnerable to prolonged apneas and sudden death. From these observations, we hypothesi...

use of wastewater treatment methods in aquaculture is one of the main ways for decreasing the environmental effects of this industry and applies the best management practices (bmps). anionic compounds are the main pollutants in recirculation aquaculture systems. ion exchangers such as clays are vastly applied in waste water industry but in aquaculture systems at yet there isn't any report ...

Global warming has substantially changed the environment, but the mechanisms to cope with these changes in animals, including the role of maternal effects, are poorly understood. Maternal effects via hormones deposited in eggs, have important environment-dependent effects on offspring development and fitness: thus females are expected to adjust these hormones to the environment, such as the amb...

the current study reports some interesting growth of novel in2o3 nanostructures using ambient-controlled chemical vapor deposition technique in the presence of a strongly reducing hydrazine ambient. the experiments are systematically carried out by keeping either of the carrier gas flow rate or the source temperature constant, and varying the other. for each of the depositions, the growth is st...
